GDT 11/6 GDT : Red Wings at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 EST

[roboturner 562]

In his second game with Toronto on Oct. 9, Babcock felt taken back a bit when he was honored on the Joe Louis Arena video board for his accomplishments during the decade he spent in Detroit.

"It was nice of them to do," said Babcock, who signed an eight-year deal in May worth approximately $50 million to help turn around a flailing Toronto franchise. "I wish they wouldn't have to do that. I don't coach their team anymore. I'm glad this is all over with."

- per ESPN.com's game preview

I posted this when that quote came up the first time around.

"It was nice of them to do. They sure didn’t have to do that," Babcock said of the thank you. "I’ve said it a number of times, I’m glad this is all over to be honest with you. The Leafs played the Red Wings today and they won. It’s that simple." - ESPN Craig Custance

"They sure didn't have to do that" certainly gives a different impression than "I wish they wouldn't have done that"

In fact that whole quote takes on a different vibe depending on which way he said it.

Speaks about Larkin, Lidström and more. Worth a hear. Wants Lidström on the power play.

Yeah, and the "I don't coach their team anymore" after the "I wish they wouldn't have to do that" makes it sound even further from "They sure didn't have to do that."

Anyone know appx. what time puck drop will be?

[Jacksoni 418]

Anyone know appx. what time puck drop will be?

7 p.m, E.T.

[sleepwalker 512]

I meant tonights puck drop time, not just the start of the broadcast. I think they have a HOF ceremony before the game today and that's why the broadcast starts early at 7. I'm trying to figure out what time I need to make it to a TV by.

I'm guessing around 7:30 maybe...

The Leafs must be feeling pretty confident considering how they got their second win of the season not too long ago, and they always play better than expected when you least expect it, so I have a feeling they'll put up a bit more of a fight this time around. Either way, Wings v Leafs games are always entertaining to watch, especially more so now that they have Babcock as their coach. Here's to a good game between classic rivals!

Red Wings 6 (Larkin x 2, Zetterberg, Nyquist, Abdelkader, Kronwall)

Let's Go Red Wings!!!

Awesome GDT graphic as always! I've got burgers and my infamous bacon steaks on the grill for the game (bacon sliced at number 19 on the slicer, in honor of Stevie Y, about 4 oz per slice with dry rub that carmelizes into a bbq sauce as the fat cooks on the bacon). The Wings will be even more awesome than that against the Make Beliefs just to tick off Babs. Franzen's instagram will blow up the Internet. Jurassic Mrazek will stalk the puck like a velociraptor, rack up another assist or two. Hank gets number 300 (this... Is... Detroit hockey!). The team gets a total of 5 goals in honor of Lidstrom going into the hall of fame.

Let's Go Wings!

Anyone know appx. what time puck drop will be?

If it is a typical broadcast, 7:08. I think there will be a delay due to the HOF stuff.

[canadian wings fan 305]

We have to show up tonight and get these 2 points. No excuses, lets go boys!

What's up with the dude in the stands wearing his Lidstrom jersey backwards?

Criss cross will make you JUMP!

[TheXym 2,606]

Criss cross will make you JUMP!

Darren Mac will make you.... Oh wait, that's not how it goes. Very well played, brother. I was hoping someone would pick up on it.

I've gotta say, they did a pretty nice job with the HOF stuff so far.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Were you even here on God's green earth when they were a hot item?

I was like three or four when they were popular.

Ha.

And it was very well done, indeed

[TheXym 2,606]

So...Did you wear your 'pull-up' backwards?Quick - snag Lids a uniform, and some skates.....Nobody will notice.

Oh wait - he'll be our best Dman so - nevermind.

Put Lids in for Andersson.

And dude, that pull up comment almost made me snarf some Macallan.

Let's Go Wings! Game on! Light them the **** up!

Struggling to score goals under Babcock? Nooooooo

[LeftWinger 4,961]

so did anyone else see Babcock ignore Fedorov as he walked by him on the bench? Feds turned toward him as he was congratulating the guy in front of him, then skipped right to the next guy and ignored Sergei. What a prick. Now tell us that he didn't nix the idea of Feds coming back...

[Bill Berzeench 310]

Housely needs to learn what Navy Blue is

[sum1 27]

looks like the leafs are on a power play!!!

Struggling and chasing with Miller on the ice

[TheXym 2,606]

Way too many icings early. Our boys need to put them on their heels and erase the confidence the Leafs gained against Dallas.

[TheXym 2,606]

Struggling and chasing with Miller on the ice

He can't cover everyone.

[LeftWinger 4,961]

Must be the Detroit feed.

Didn't see it via TSN.

yes, FSD.

[Ekmanc 586]

Icing, Icing, Icing...

[Bill Berzeench 310]

He wore a grey suit and everyone else was in Navy
