GDT: Wings at Hawks 8:30

[TheMule93]

Green communicated very clearly and correctly

Ericsson was just being ericcson

 

[Filppula]

Why is Ericsson so bad? Our defence sucks.

 

[SoupGuru]

Ericsson played it like a 2-on-1 because Nielsen was beat by his man

 

[borisbadenough]

Exactly. Its to the benefit of this organization to see if this big, mobile, hard-shooting righty can right the ship in a series of games.



All youre doing is creating a reputation as someone who can't watch players objectively.

He easily could be -4 tonight. That statement is very objective. He makes AHL level mistakes over and over.

 

[SoupGuru]

Has Sproul had a shift in the 3rd?

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The Red Wings' future does not revolve around Sproul. He hasn't shown anything that makes me think he should be kept up.

I didn't know sproul was supposed to be a number 1 dman

 

[dragonballgtz]

Mantha has had some chances but it really does look like he can go into another gear if he wants

 

[SoupGuru]

I didn't know sproul was supposed to be a number 1 dman

I didn't think so either but apparently we have to keep a defensive liability around because he might become a consequential player for us. I don't buy it.

 

[Heaton]

Welcome back Abby, a classic bad penalty by the 7 year man.

 

[datsyukfan]

These refs are out to lunch

 

[Pavels Dog]

I didn't think so either but apparently we have to keep a defensive liability around because he might become a consequential player for us. I don't buy it.

I don't know, maybe we should try to keep some skilled players in the lineup. But maybe not, we definitely have enough skill as it is.

 

[TheMule93]

honestly I hardly ever complain about the refs but the reffing has been horribly biased against us tonight

the boarding call was good but they've failed to call so many things against the hawks all I can do is shake my head

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Welcome back Abby, a classic bad penalty by the 7 year man.

Super gritty and hard working.

 

[Claypool]

2 minutes for hitting, apparently.

 

[Heaton]

These refs are out to lunch

That's a boarding call every day in the NHL now.

 

[SoupGuru]

Not a smart hit

 

[Filppula]

AA is looking so dangerous. His back checking is so good.

 

[datsyukfan]

Worst officiated game I've ever watched

 

[SoupGuru]

I don't know, maybe we should try to keep some skilled players in the lineup. But maybe not, we definitely have enough skill as it is.

I agree. Now let's define "skilled players" and see whether Sproul is one.

 

[theYman]

Why is Ericsson so bad? Our defence sucks.

Uhh Because he's a 9th round draft pick who's over 30 yrs old?

 

[datsyukfan]

That's a boarding call every day in the NHL now.

I'm fine with the boarding call but the Hawks have gotten away with every single thing tonight

 

[TheOtherOne]

honestly I hardly ever complain about the refs but the reffing has been horribly biased against us tonight

Agreed. I hate to complain because we wouldn't score on a pp anyway, but holy **** this officiating is hilariously bad.

 

[dragonballgtz]

dont think this will last long

 

[Filppula]

Uhh Because he's a 9th round draft pick who's over 30 yrs old?

Cool. So you're saying he sucks then? Why's he playing then?

 

[Sadekuuro]

Worst officiated game I've ever watched

There was a regular season game two or so years ago in Chicago that was even worse. Always seem to get jobbed there lately.
