GDT: Wings vs pens 7:30 pm et 4/2/19

[RedHawkDown]

my god they just cant stop can they

 

[Konnan511]

Mantha could be one of the best players in the league if he just gave a shit.

 

[obey86]

lmao this team

 

[Hen Kolland]

Here’s the question that needs to be answered.

Put the rest of the season behind us...when do we start to believe that this is more than a fluke?

 

[jkutswings]

Even with this loss, Pittsburgh isn't missing the playoffs, so Detroit isn't spoiling anything except their draft stock. I'm changing the channel.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome goaltender?

 

[NickH8]

Lmao Ehn is the veteran on that line, telling them what to do.

 

[KJoe88]

We might actually have something here next season

 

[obey86]

Larkin 73 points in 74 games. My goodness.

maybe get the Caps in the 1st round

 

[KJoe88]

I hopped off the tank train when the odds slipped away. A lucky bounce of Bettman's little balls could happen but not likely.

Hate the Pens would be great to spoil their season.

True. I will never actively cheer for losses. But I accepted the tank afterwards.

Now? I love seeing these guys play like this. Larkin has 73 points and is pretty much a ppg player.

Such a nice feeling to see hope again.

 

[Christien]

This has been one of Ehn’s best games of the season. Looks really good out there

 

[TheMule93]

we're peaking just in time for the playoffs

 

[Athana see you later]

Lmao Ehn is the veteran on that line, telling them what to do.

I’m a big fan of Ehn. He’s insanely responsible defensively and at the same time has flashes of skill and power moves to the net and through traffic. I think there is a lot more upside there

 

[Hen Kolland]

Golf swings looking so crisp they can even score goals

 

[DetroitRed]

I just think having some of the vets out has forced Blashill to keep the top two lines kind of stable for the first time in like forever. So, with something like set lines for once, roles have become clearer and as a result, we're using pieces like Mantha the right way finally.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I told you guys wins are running the table. Enjoy the 9th pick. Hope it was worth it.

 

[TheMule93]

we play our best hockey (by far) of the season as soon as all the vets are injured

what a surprise

 

[DetroitRed]

I told you guys wins are running the table. Enjoy the 9th pick. Hope it was worth it.

It's not really worth it. I think they almost did the same thing the last two seasons. It didn't matter at all by training camp, except that you probably had a lower draft pick.

 

[DInTheB]

Larkin turning into an elite player is pretty awesome. I love Hughes and Kakko, but I wouldn’t want to live in a world where we had to sacrifice having Larkin to ensure we had the opportunity to pick in the top two. Basically, Larkin has carried this team to where we are right now. I know that doesn’t say much, but then I watch Eichel and the Sabres, and for the first time I start to think that I would take Larkin over Eichel.

I'm pro tank too but what else are we supposed to do? Forfeit? lol... That lineups that we shove out there blows every night ha

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Here’s the question that needs to be answered.

Put the rest of the season behind us...when do we start to believe that this is more than a fluke?

I don't think this first line is a fluke... AA looks to have advanced his game as well.

The real question is are the next generation of guys quicker to figure this out. Hronek, Cholowski, Rasmussen, and Zadina making significant steps forward but maybe a little quicker with big time younger leaders and friends to follow might speed this up. But the big young 4 we have going down this stretch up front are going to need more help. They cannot stay this hot for the balance of a season.

 

[DetroitRed]

Can't help but like beating the Penguins. Sorry.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Fitting that line closed it out lol

 

[Ezekial]

Bert with the historic night!
