GDT: Wings @ pens 7:00 pm est 12/27/18

When we start on time we can't finish. When we don't we can play catch up but give it away in OT. This team is stuck in the mud.

 

[TheMule93]

AA f***ing blows

 

[Ezekial]

That millisecond delay was all it took.

 

[Claypool]

Solid loss.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Red Wings always play the most disciplined team in the league. I'd be curious to see the PP/PK ratio.

second worst ratio in the league, only ahead of anaheim. we take about 1.25 penalties for every penalty we draw or about -30 for the season.

 

[FMichael]

Solid loss.

Yup, and Howard's trade value took a nosedive.

 

[Ulysses31]

lot of posts. cholo, hronek plus one more at least

 

[jkutswings]

Larkin scored a beauty, and some of the kids showed good flashes. As much as I don't like Pittsburgh, there are still silver linings to this loss.

 

[Heaton]

I still feel like next season this team can get back to having a realistic shot to make the playoffs for the right reasons. This season is going in the right direction, we've played more than most teams beneath us, so hopefully we fall down to the bottom 5 by the end of the year.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I get that we won't be the most talented team for a long time now but can we at least play an entertaining game?

I feel that we have played against a ton of backup goalies. Hopefully that isn't the reason the team has taken a step forward in the win column.

We are 7 points away from a playoff spot, but only 3 points above rock bottom.

Yeah, we're more of a rock bottom team than a playoff team.

It sure would be nice if all our shitty players could play hockey better, right?

Hell, at least they were pressuring and hitting posts and shit. That was far from our least entertaining game.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Blash breaking up Larkin & Nyquist... Ugh

 

[lhsgolf19]

The Future is now in that 3rd Pair... Whoa

 

[SCD]

The Future is now in that 3rd Pair... Whoa

It will be interesting to see how long this lasts, and what their TOI is for the game.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

The Future is now in that 3rd Pair... Whoa

That 3rd line and Abdelkader...ugh, I wish we had management that actually gave a shit.

It's sad that De La Rose would be a better first line option than him

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That 3rd line and Abdelkader...ugh, I wish we had management that actually gave a ****.

That is more the lengths you are willing to go to in your hatred for Abdelkader.

He has outproduced JDLR at every single level of hockey that you could compare them at except WJC. Of course that would be the same year he was the Most Outstanding player of the NCAA tournament three months after so it is easy to argue Abdelkader has outproduced him offensively at every single step of hockey so that isn't a great argument in reality.
