GDT: Wings at Penguins- 2/11/15

[Sentinel]

Two positives:
1. Marchenko looks ready.
2. Howard looks ready.

 

[Redwingsfan]

Good to have Jimmy back!

 

[chances14]

Is it just me or does Marchy clearly look better than XO?

Yup. Looks better than smith too

 

[Pavels Dog]

Is it just me or does Marchy clearly look better than XO?

From what I've seen XO looks much better in the offensive zone and often has better outlet passes, but Marchenko seems to have an edge in defensive play, especially 1-on-1.

 

[Claypool]

Now we dominate and lose 5-1. This is on Babcock. Team has to show up at the start.

Pretty sure there was an optional skate this morning. Still don't know why Babcock didn't make it mandatory.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

People underrated Howard

not on here.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

This is at least good for the next one, big month still ahead they need something positive going forward. Howard gets to shake off some rust and they get back to actually completing passes.

 

[Redwingsfan]

Hard to say anybody has been good. Some have been less bad than the others...

Well yeah. Trying to find a bright spot.

 

[Hendricks433]

He always looks good.

That's true. I agree he's looking better than Ouellet.

 

[A1Portable]

For the love of God, will Sheahan put his shot on net?

Two wide open shots, and he missed the net! Sheesh!

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

From what I've seen XO looks much better in the offensive zone and often has better outlet passes, but Marchenko seems to have an edge in defensive play, especially 1-on-1.

Trade Smith, pair Ouellet with Marchenko.

 

[Mijatovic]

Its really nice having a right hand back there. Howard has looked ready in the few chances they have had. Im glad he got a period to warm up.

Marchenko actually looked like he got Kronwall looking better than he was. We could have something like this

Kron - March
Dek - Q
Oul - Eric

I would much prefer that than watching Smith ruin our run.

 

[Sentinel]

Smith OTOH looks ready to leave the team.

Datsyuk needs to start shooting.

 

[Flowah]

That play and pass by Marchy just now to Datsyuk. Is that the Russian connection?

 

[The Geelee]

Marchenko looks real good. Looks like we have two quality defenders with him and Ouellet

 

[Petes2424]

From what I've seen XO looks much better in the offensive zone and often has better outlet passes, but Marchenko seems to have an edge in defensive play, especially 1-on-1.

He's probably made the best transition passes in this game.

 

[RyWy]

Did Doc just say Lundqvist or am I hearing things?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Is Doc Emrick having a stroke? Am I? Did he just call Kyle Quincey Lundqvist?

 

[Sentinel]

Quite pathetic.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Did Doc just say Lundqvist or am I hearing things?

Guess so....

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Booooo!

 

[ArGarBarGar]

not on here.

How about you don't get into this....again.
