GDT: Wings @ Capitals

[HockeyinHD]

A) I really like the set up Detroit has run the past couple years where the dmen jump in so much.

B) I'd like it more if any of the Dmen besides Green should ever be in the offensive zone.

C) By the way... way to make the Caps miss you, Mike.

I don't understand this team on how we can't get pucks through to the net. What is it? Too much time so they let the opposition get in the shooting lanes? Are we that mentally slow on decision making? Bad positioning?

Our transition is epically slow. The only time our defenseman get the puck through the neutral zone is if they skate it out. By that time, the opposition is set.

I actually think we get more clean shots through breakaways due to sheer individual speed or giveaways than we do from keen outlet or stretch passes.

 

[datsyukfan]

Haha DK fans how does this guy continue to keep playing

 

[SpookyTsuki]

If he's worth 5 million for his atrocious work I'm gonna walk in to work tomorrow morning and tell my boss I need a raise.

Make sure you tell him who dekeyser is

 

[obey86]

lol nice keep in attempt by the 5 million dollar man

 

[Frk It]

So we're getting a shot every 3.5 minutes... cool.

 

[HockeyinHD]

I think you guys are generally too hard on DK, but oh man is he having a bad game tonight.

 

[theYman]

Jesus Christ DK! Misses the back pass off the faceoff. THen gets beat to the puck when it goes down to our end.

Does that surprise you? Haha

 

[Reddwit]

That makes a lot of sense. You convinced me. I concur.

Be convinced!

Which is sad.

Ehh, puck went to Greens side so I say Green missed it. He still was hella slow going back.

If there isn't an article that comes out at the end of the season that says he was playing through some kind of debilitating injury...

We should be worried. I want to believe he's hurt, because the amount of battles he has lost this season in his end is just terrible.

Mrazek didn't do him any favors either.

 

[theYman]

Does that surprise you? Haha

No but I guess I'm still trying to convince myself he's still good . He's got to be. Right? right??! He's just not top pairing good. Lol

 

[rx7dryver]

2 blind linesmen wtf.

 

[obey86]

is ericsson injured?

 

[Reddwit]

Somebody really needs to tell Osgood that it's pronounced "especially."

 

[Reddwit]

is ericsson injured?

Yup. On the "boarding" penalty by Backstrom.

 

[theYman]

Time to play Blashill hockey. Crazy defensive crap hockey and hope for a bloop game tying goal.

 

[theYman]

LOL nice **** call.
hardly tripping. He went down on his own.

 

[Reddwit]

Had to give Washington a call at some point...

 

[theYman]

GAme over. Holland who are we selling at the deadline?

 

[HockeyinHD]

Coaching aside, I'd like Blashill fired simply because of the absurd expressions he has both during games and during interviews.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

That'll do pig...that'll do.
