gdt 3/15 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Oilers 2 (OT)

[Guest Crymson]

Cleary - Andersson - Abdelkader wasn't half bad as a shutdown line.

That said, I wish that Tatar would replace Nyquist. Tatar is NHL-ready, Nyquist is not.

I enjoyed glancing through pages 10+. Eff youuu. F***, malarky, is Mule overweight? Howard has horrible rebound control, very creative Cleary with Pavel, and my favorite, this D passes like a Kia on the autobahn.

I think we all agree Pasha's legend is growing. I enjoy every game he plays.

Howard was, again, sensational.

Fil - Mickey insists on it and I can't disagree, he hasn't missed a beat. A contract year will do that.

Hank & Brunner - they are turning the puck over, not in the right spot, etc. They need SOMETHING! < now THAT'S coaching!

Tootoo - Everyone can be bested, accept Anderson Silva. Mike Brown is your weakness. Skate on by.

OK, now far be it for me to stop the complaint fest on this group. I still see them in the postseason, and I like the top 6 on D.... so I will bash them to shreds!

Smith -This kid plays tryout hockey. Give the puck up, make the pass, support, etc. < He is the most frustrating guy on D for me to watch. He has the tools, but he either has severe myopia or an ego that requires two helmets.

Kronner - you are getting beat, making bad passes and not hitting a SOUL. Rather than focus on improving your skill set, crush someone. The adreneline of fight or flight will take care of the rest, but good night Kindl has the best D hit of the season... KINDL!

Kindl - Let them drop into the sack kid. Babcock can't literally whip you. The guy skates through the neutral zone with fear, not of a crushing hit, but of a mistake. Painful to watch. Last night the guy did the same drop pass again and again and again and again, literally that many times. Drop passes are one step above dump and chases on the PP. You see the pass, but you don't make it. MAKE IT .. or not, but efffing try. < It just struck me, maybe Kindl's nickname should not be Kuba it should be TULL. Why? Whenever he is ourt there he reminds of the lyrics, " skating away on the thin ice of a new day."

Lash - you get beat on the outside like a returned runaway slave. I would tell you to get faster, but that is like telling the Show Pony to get tougher.

Quincey - Kindl was given the ridiculous "almost made the roster at 18 label" which is bad enough because of the implied skill set but you sir, have a real issue. The Wings gave up a #1 pick for you. Forget the Wings history with #1's no one will recall McCollum, Wallin, Max, Yan etc. NO sir, you cost the Wings eerrrr, hhhmmmm, welllllll,, the next Sheahan, Smith or Kindl! Soft, out of position and no offense.

Ericsson - Babcock said you were Pronger w/o the nasty stuff. You ain't. I recall all the hype about your slapshot. Sure, if this were golf hockey and you were Happy Gilmore we would put it on a tee and give you all the time you like to shoot. However, every team knows the forward can drop between the circles and still get to you before you shoot. Try the nasty stuff.

Edmonton sucks.

[Guest Crymson]

Edmonton sucks.

Uh, OK. What do you mean?

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Uh, OK. What do you mean?

Edmonton sucks. Have you ever been there? I don't know why anyone would want to play there.

On regards to their current season they are underachieving (maybe not the right word) again not saying they were suppose to overachieve or anything.

Maybe they want the 1st overall pick again?

They are a team which is the definition of building through the draft.

Sooner or later it should pay off wouldn't you agree?
