GDT: Wings @ Hawks, preseason Gm 2, 8:30

[Ezekial]

Lol Foley "and Veleno takes it to the front of the net AND WHAT A SAVE CRAWFORD! CRAWFORD WITH AN AMAZING SAVE, JUST SPECTACULAR!"
Eddie O "that was quite a move."
Foley "yes it was a good move I didn't think he'd get it to the forehand, but CRAWFORD WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE DOOR AND KEEP THE HAWKS UP ONE!"

I wish I could hear Mickey with an unbiased ear.

Zadina is good at getting open in the offensive zone. All de la rose wants to do is cycle the puck in the corner. Zadina needs someone to make a play. I just think they give him no chance when they play him with a center like that.

They gave him our best playmaking centre in the organization during a prospects tournament and he didn't score 1 goal

 

[Mlotek]

So far through these two games Puempel has been the Wings best player IMO.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Larsson has been fantastic in the 3rd

 

[Cam13Hemi]

Zadina looks like Tatar always trying to do too much with the puck and giving it up.

Anyone else think Erne took a headshot?

 

[RedMenace]

You’re not allowed to say that here.

So far through these two games Puempel has been the Wings best player IMO.

How so? He's gotten some good looks, but hasn't really stood out any other way. He's the same player he's the same player he was last year, and has always been.

Zadina looks like Tatar always trying to do too much with the puck and giving it up.

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel about Zadina. Again, I think his game will mature with time and experience.

Jesus christ Ericsson...

Guys I'm not sure if this is premature but I want your opinions:

Will we retire Seider's number?

Serious answer to your question: No.

Not serious answer: Yes, they'll let him take 5 out of retirement, then immediately re-retire it.

 

[Cam13Hemi]

Razz muss ehn. This hawks commentator though...

 

[RedMenace]

Damn, so close Terry.

 

[bearball]

Guys I'm not sure if this is premature but I want your opinions:

Will we retire Seider's number?

Yes, infact, he will be so good that we will retire his number while he is still playing.

Larsson doing a good job of weathering the storm against Chicago's top players tonight.

DLR with Zadina just baffles me, other than that's the only center Blash wants him to play with.

Zadina is really trying to do a lot; he's struggling a bit and losing the puck, but the effort is there. The rest of his game should round into form with a little more maturity.

It might be his way of telling Zadina to simplify it and trust his linemates a bit. Rag it up ice, and dump the thing into a corner where DLR can go and bang for it. Zadina is good enough to draw the D, but too often he then just tries to go through more D.

Makes sense, but I'm definitely not a fan of trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. I wouldn't be surprised if Zadina is moved at some point in the next couple of seasons if he doesn't start toeing the line.

[RedMenace]

Not an unexpected loss, but not a bad showing by the young group...

... and they're still playing that stupid f***ing song.

On to the next game.

 

[Ezekial]

Foley thought Hirose was Rasmussen for that whole shift, in his defense he's probably hammered.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Oh well... Lots of good by the young guys... Back home on Friday

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Zadina needs to watch a lot of Brett Hull footage. It doesn't matter what kind of shot you have if there's no lane.

 

[Christien]

Not a bad game considering all the young guys we had in the lineup. I think all of our younger players looked a lot more comfortable as the game went on.

 

[TootooTrain]

Seider handled the line very well in the last moments.

 

[RedMenace]

I definitely wish I was, too.

Man, Hirose sure did grow during the off-season.

Nah he is a razz moose ehn front of the net.

Honestly can’t complain too much about the game tonight. Team played a competitive game and Bernier gave them a freebie.
