November 2023 Games

Really good defending by the Rangers at the end. Or perhaps a function of the Wings' anemic PP. In any event, 6 on 4 for over a minute, had the puck the whole time, but no great chances created or developed.

I don't get how Wings fans can whine about that Raymond high sticking call being overturned or the game winning goal being allowed to stand.

No shame in losing to the Rangers, but it sucks to have been within 5 minutes of a point and losing it.

TNT made it seem like it was Gostisbehere was at fault for not being aware he was about to be hit from behind, it was wild to me that they were acting like it was nothing.  "I think he hits him in the shoulder here" or some BS, F off.

I get the argument when a player controlling the puck turns his back on the defender to face the boards. This was not that.  He skated directly to the boards to play the puck and got rocked from behind. Complete garbage.

 

DeBrincat getting driven face first into the half-wall was just as bad. Rangers are a cowardly team.

they did the same thing with debrincat.

Nice pass by Copp followed by a nice shot by Compher for a shorty!!!

[slothfacekilla]

Hawks score quickly on the PP though, nice play by Bedard

[slothfacekilla]

Holy hell the goal that Fabbri just scored was a beauty!!!!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

WOW, what a deke, what a goal by Fabbri!!!!!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Hey, alright, way to go Ben Chiarot on the goal. #2 on the season.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Back-to-back goals and the flood gates are opening. Nice start by Lyon tonight too in net.

[slothfacekilla]

Wings starting to run away with it now, number 1 center JT Compher with a goal that Perron literally banks off his stick!  Great plays by Raymond (keep in at the point) and Perron.

[slothfacekilla]

I love Kostin

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Whatever! We're under their skin at this point anyways.

[slothfacekilla]

They just called such a soft cross check on Radysh lol.  I guess the ref didn't realize that Seider was off balance I don't know, probably just a game management thing so things don't escalate?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Two real solid periods of play by Alex Lyon tonight as well. Refreshing to see that our top line Centre and both goalies are out and we're still in total control of this game at both ends of the ice. Leading 4-1 while trailing 25-19 on shots is encouraging efficiency too.

Always fun to smoke the Hawks.  Would have been even better had Kane been playing.  

[Sports_Freak]

It's great having a competitive team again. The longer these guys play together, the better they'll play. Nice blend of young players and veterans.

[gehringer_2]

Will be interesting to see if they start using Lyon more. 

[lordstanley]

I have no idea in which order Lalonde considers our three goalies to be these days.

I don't expect Lyon to play like he did last night, every night. That said, given his performance, he deserves more opportunities to start for sure.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

We have as many points as Toronto now too in the Atlantic. We're trending upwards and they are trending backwards.
