xGDT (9/20): Wild @ Red Wings

Lids played 27:02. It's the pre season, does he really need to play so much? Wouldn't we be better served giving some more minutes to a younger defenseman? Or is it all about conditioning?

Does anyone know if there is any internet stream link where I can listen to the game ?

Go Wings!

That's awesome that the Wings have fans in Spain! Welcome to the boards!!!

Huds had a really good game. He's going to be something else I tell ya! lol

Hank looked really good. Hartigan is pretty awesome. Howie is the man.

Good job by the Wings even though they lost.

Yay Hank! I tell you...he's gonna be a beast this year.

If he is you'll regret taking medschool instead of vetschool when he comes knocking at your door to play doctor.

Good news everyone! Sammy's already in mid-season form. He missed the net 43 times last night, including a few open net chances.

I think it's amazing that Z is able to make a 10 goal scorer like him into a 20 goal scorer.

I swear, if the Wings were ever able to land a decent scorer for Zetts like Slava Kozlov or Glen Murray, he'd turn someone into a 40 or 50 goal scorer.

Hudler looked good too, although he missed his fair share of dynamite chances.

Ritola didn't play poorly and he got a nice goal, but I'm disappointed in how this kid has developed. I remember watching him in the juniors and the TSN staff were raving about him saying "Looks like the Wings got themselves another great talent. How do they do it?". Ritola was flying in that particular tournament and it appeared he was a lock as a top 6 forward. But somewhere along the way he got really lazy. I hope a full year in GR can clear that up. But who knows?

McGrath didn't look too bad either but he's clearly not NHL material at this point. A full season as the #1 or #2 centre on the farm will do him good.

Meech looked very solid too. He jumped in the play but never got caught out of position. I think he's a lock over Sopel considering how error-prone Sopel is.

No one seems to be mentioning Filppula, how was he last night?

I thought he played well. But in my opinion, I think he could do more with better wingers. But for this year, he'll be our 3rd line centre and he'll do fine there.

But I won't be surprised if he gets some time on the wing with either Dats or Zetts.

I will be coming to the party late but I am expecting the Wild to put up a better fight. I wouldnt' be shocked if we drop this game either..

Wings 4

Wild 3

I should have kept that line of thinking
