GDT: Wings @ vegas 10:00 pm et 3/23/19

[Bondurant]

Wings are Kate Winslett and Jack Hughes is Leonardo DiCaprio. We're letting him slip away.

 

[RedWingzz]

The patience and awareness of Larkin displayed there is the exact reason he will be a superstar in the NHL. Absolutely incredible how he has the presence of mind to make that play.

 

[kk]

What is the story with the Red Wings players all shaking the one ref's hand after the game? Is he retiring or connected to the city in some way?

 

[datsyukfan]

If mantha played like he did tonight night in and night or at least with that type of effort he would be an absolute monster

 

[DInTheB]

I am team tank, but when it’s guys like Larkin and Mantha doing damage, I don’t get angry. If this was a Helm, Nielsen, Vanek goal night, I would be pretty damn annoyed.

I think that every time I watch him rush the puck up outside and make a pure power move to the goal. That burst is so huge but it's frustrating to watch him not do it every game.

No the wings are the band members playing the violin while the titanic is sinking.

Other teams dont do that? I assumed it was just common courtesy

They are actually handing him cash. Paying off the refs is the only way we win.






Yikes... and that's my que to go to bed. Have a nice night everyone.

 

[KJoe88]

Yeeeuuuhhh baby!

I just realized the game was in Vegas, not Detroit. But still, wondered what that was all about. Not a thing you see often unless someone is retiring or something.

Murph doesn't finish sentences. He also doesn't often put more than 5 words together that go together

He starts sentences not knowing where he's going with them, it's pretty entertaining

 

[Perfect Human]

He starts sentences not knowing where he's going with them, it's pretty entertaining

More so than most games this year

 

[Sparkzuk]

LA losing now

 

[saska sault]

New drinking game to keep this season entertaining - Anytime Blashill plays Abdelkader on the power play, chug a beer.

In seriousness, love Larkins motor. Guy is the perfect leader to have during this transition... Mantha and AA are now the Tatar and Nyquist 2.0's. I really am slowly believing these guys can be core members through the rebuild.

 

[datsyukfan]

Wow Bowey 25 mins tonight that’s an awesome step for him

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wow Bowey 25 mins tonight that’s an awesome step for him

I love Madison Bowey.

 

[datsyukfan]

Kings and ducks tied now

 

[lhsgolf19]

Next years D Core is going to be fascinating

DeKeyser & Hronek are locks... Cholowski should be back up for good & Bowey is earning the right to be in that top 6.

Then we have the 3 old guys all with a year left on their deals: Green, Daley & Ericsson... Those contracts man

What happens with Kronwall too

Hopefully Stevie or whomever can deal/waive a vet or two under contract

Buying out Daley's final year won't be a long-term cap anchor. It'll be like two years of a $700,000 cap hit or whatever.

 

[Sparkzuk]

Kings win in a SO

 

[TheOtherOne]

Man Ehn-Puempel-Kuffner played fricken awesome against Vegas for being a noobie line.

 

[datsyukfan]

Buying out Daley's final year won't be a long-term cap anchor. It'll be like two years of a $700,000 cap hit or whatever.

Maybe we could just trade him to a team up against the cap for depth and retain half if we have to

 

[Gniwder]

I don't see the need to buy any D-man out, they've got 6 under contract, one needs to sit in the press box anyways if Cholo makes the team. Just don't sign Kronwall, he should retire while he can still walk.

If anything, the team looks better without Abby. They should send him down to GR next year.
