Motor City Sonics Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Whew..................... Great game. That was fun. Quote
buddha Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 i had a parlay with the canadiens + 1.5 and the wings - 1.5... so that goal from seider meant A LOT to me! lol Quote
buddha Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 and then the hawks score with 20 seconds left and i lose. makes me hate them even more! it was wings +1.5 and habs -1.5. if anyone cares to share my pain. Quote
1984Echoes Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Compher looks like he's going to be a good add too. ADB, Compher, Sprong, Gostisbehere all contributing outta the gate... Making Stevie Y look good early... And the Red Wings... Quote
gehringer_2 Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Wings still way too soft closing out points in their own end, and I'd love to know Lalonde's thinking on Veleno being out their on the 6 on 5. He was making it look more like 6 on 4...... Petry could have cost them the game twice late but the refs swallowed their whistle for him. Lalonde says the D is now 7 deep. I'd say so far it's more like 7 middle of the pool. Edited October 15, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote

LOL - I'm plenty happy they won, but I'd be happier still if they started looking more like a potential playoff team. They are at the point where they are much more fun to watch than 2-3 years ago, but that just means the expectations have been whetted. This team still needs a lot of work. Other than Larkin's line they looked slow - the rest of them will need to skate (read "work") harder to keep up with all the teams that skate as well or better than Tampa. And I think folks that have bought the company line that the D has been upgraded in a major way are going to be disappointed. I expect it won't be the same 7 on the roster by mid-season.

lordstanley Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 This game edged out Oregon-Washington for my 2nd most exciting game of the day. After Ireland-All Blacks at #1. Quote

lordstanley Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 Buckle up. I have little confidence in Reimer . Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Reimer looked alright in the pre-season but was absolutely horrid last season. I have no idea what to expect. The Detroit defense has been allowing some high quality chances so it should be interesting. Quote

I've seen Sieder force his man to the outside on a breakaway rush where all Husso had to do was handle the shot from the outside and the shooter still beat him. That's not real stellar goal tending either - so we'll see. I think the job is open to anyone that steps up to claim it. Edited October 16, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Sounds like he'll be playing and Petry is a healthy scratch which is fine with me. Quote

I think it is still his crease barring a total meltdown though. He has also made some huge stops so I hope he cleans up the bad angle stuff. I would have liked to see Lyon get this game honestly.

"fine." Quote

But I also wonder is some of this isn't the way Lalonde is using him. I wasn't watching that close but it seems he's keeping his minutes down early in the game and then keeping him out there a lot at the end. That's probably a tough assignment for a young player. I'd almost like to see Lalonde say "Moritz, I'm going to hold you to 23 (or whatever) minutes a game, so don't worry about pacing yourself for longer minutes."

slothfacekilla Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Reimer tested early and comes up with a big save Quote
slothfacekilla Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Beauty pass by Veleno to Gostisbehere for a goal! Ghost bear made a nice defensive play to start it Quote
