GDT: Red Wings @ Maple Leafs - 7:30 PM ET (preseason game 7)

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

He got caught not moving his feet and watching the play for a second. That is enough at this level.

Agreed.

Seeing the replay I put that much more on Cholowski than Jensen.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Matthews is about to be the second best player in the game in my opinion. He is passing Crosby this year.

The Leafs D will still doom them but my lord he looks fantastic this year.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

that easily could've been a penalty on Sulak. A hack right to Matthews hands.

Honestly a little stunned it wasn't.

Also much to Brian Burke's ire but Tavares' hug of Jensen isn't allowed in the rulebook either... We still call that one holding.

Man Jensen is terrible

It certainly should've been.

That's the kind of stuff I'd love for them to call all the time. You have a D-man who's beat and a player cutting to the net to score and he takes a hack right to the gloves. The game would be so much better if they called that regularly.

I was saying Matthews > Eichel I believe back in Matthews draft year.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Jensen should really be wearing Lebda's old number

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Who will setup the lines the same way, just like Babcock would or name the next coach you want.

I would like a few different line combos, but I am not going to pretend Blashill is some rogue guy in terms of line choices.

Then I am assuming you haven't watched much Red Wing hockey with Blashill at the helm.

Zadina isnt a line 4 player. Babcock would not have him there, but keep thinking that to prove Blashill and other coaches are the same but yet again, what does Babs or any other coach have anything to do with Blashills lineups? lol

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Great pass Cholo!

Awesome shot by Gus as well

 

[lhsgolf19]

Good Lord what a feed by Cholowski

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Great pass from Cholowki and Nyquist with the finish!

 

[TheMule93]

Gj cholowski

Babcock put Marner on the 4th line last year for what 20 games.

I haven't missed a Wings game since 1987-88...

Zadina is an AHL player currently in my opinion. Glad though they are going to try to manage him in during the NHL talent game tonight instead of tomorrow to give him his final crack.

 

[Orthodox Caveman]

Nice backhand sauce from Cholowski to set up Nyquist

 

[Leronziia]

What a pass.

 

[Frk It]

I love that pass. Please make the team and take Dekeyser’s spot.

 

[Henkka]

Nice pass from Cholowski!

 

[The Flying Octopus]

My friends who are Sabres fans were not very fond of Disco Dan’s line choices.

Well, lets just say Buffalo fans havent witnessed much success in their history, so to question a SC winning coach and his line combos from that fan base is laughable

 

[Ezekial]

f***in beauty.

 

[Claypool]

Babcock put Marner on the 4th line last year for over 20 games.

I haven't missed a Wings game since 1987-88...

Marner also went back to junior after his draft year. What's your point?

Yikes, also Marner went back to Junior his draft year..Point is what exactly?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Marner is a superior talent to Zadina...

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

what a friggin pass man. (just watched the replay)

And I disagree with Ferraro. There shouldn't be any communication necessary. That was terrible coverage by whoever that right side D-man was for Toronto. He got caught puck watching.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

He hasn't done anything 5 on 5 really. He has trouble creating space for himself and hasn't looked amazing. He looks really good for a soon to be 19 year old. I hope that he tears it up and does big things down there. I would keep him down through the WJC, I think it is best for his development.
