GDT: Wings vs flames 1/2/19 7:00 pm est

[WingedWheel1987]

Refs want Detroit to get Hughes too.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Jesus man.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Gaudreau must feel like a fat kid in a candy shop when going up against Detroit's D.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well looking like a top 5 pick coming up here guys.

 

[TheMule93]

Rip larkins point streak

 

[Claypool]

Good loss. No Hughes-er point. Keep 'em coming!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

The tank rolls on.

 

[theYman]

And that's all she wrote. Wow we're bad.

 

[aar000n]

Imagine how much better the quality of the NHL would be with competent refs.

 

[theYman]

The tank rolls on.

As well as Howard's trade value.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Imagine how much better the quality of the NHL would be with competent refs.

Or competent management.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

As well as Howard's trade value.

They should trade him asap.

 

[pz29]

Or competent management.

Or without the idiotic incentive for teams to lose on purpose.

 

[Goalie guy]

We are not loosing on "purpose", we are just a bad team!!!

 

[lilidk]

We have Green effect.

 

[theYman]

Can we have Johnny Gaudreau?? I'd love him here. Him with Larkin. Sweeet! Plus I share the name which would be badass if I got a jersey.

 

[SoupGuru]

On the other hand, Hronek has a ton of room to grow and many lessons to learn

 

[iDangleDangle]

Wouldn't be a GDT without you critiquing the reffing

 

[aar000n]

Tell me in wrong

 

[pz29]

I know, but I am going by the cheering for losses that goes on here. Also, Hughes or whoever is not going to be a messiah. Dahlin has not exactly killed in in Buffalo (24 points after 40 games). As a fan, I'd rather we had competent management and coaching who knew how to build a roster and coach the players that are available than wait for one "messiah" to come to the rescue. And I place the blame on the league which encourages this kind of thinking.

 

[Ulysses31]

like the zadina pick but would be cute if wings had 2 hughes bros

Give Dahlin couple of years. I think they should change rules about drafting. For example, if you got #1 pick, you shouldn't be getting in first 5 next year. Teams like Avalanche or Oilers have to many high end pics.

Yeah who needs an 18 year-old #1 defenseman. It's not the league who encourages that kind of thinking... it's just reality imo.

A 48 point pace for a rookie defenseman and your reaction is "meh"?

The team needs high-end talent. The best chance to get that high-end talent is early in the draft. Therefore the best opportunity for the team to contend again is for them to have as bad a record as possible now in order to get the best talent for the future.

Good management alone cannot win championships.
