GDT: Game 80: Red Wings at leafs 7:00 pm et 4/13/24 (BSD, ESPN+)

[lhsgolf19]

you all knew this was going to happen. wings cant hold a lead.

They held a lead two games ago lol

 

[The Flying Octopus]

JV team at best

Let’s throw a party

 

[JoesuffP]

Edvinsson will average more minutes than Seider next season and we will be a better team for it

 

[brett89]

Lalonde shouldve been fired when he lost a 10 point lead

 

[GMR]

If someone asked me how to sum up the Detroit Red Wings 2023-24 I’d just show them the 1st 2 periods of this game.

way to motivate your team Lalonde !!

If I were the owner, I would pull a Stannis Baratheon on this entire team. Starting with Yzerman and Lalonde. Cut a few fingers, sacrifice a few people to the Red God, etc.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

And this boys and girls is why our beloved Detroit Red Wings don’t belong in the playoffs…

to be fair the other teams competing with them suck too. also Leafs wont survive the first round and I'd argue the Islanders dont belong either....

 

[GMR]

In hindsight, I'd rather have a team that doesn't score much, but plays a tight, defensive game and rarely makes mistakes. Those kind of teams are tough to play against. Yzerman built the opposite with this squad.

Who cares if they win the first round? Just get in!

 

[JoesuffP]

Outshot 14-6 erased every good thing they did for 30 minutes almost

 

[FMichael]

Well if this game does not represent this team's season.

100% this.

How can Detroit not even perform a simple breakout? f***ing terrible.

It’s been a problem since Blashill was coach…A lovely combo of a lack of skill, smarts, and a working system.

 

[raymond23]

Lose this third period and we are officially eliminated

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Yzerplan working beautifully

 

[schuelma24]

Lose this third period and we are officially eliminated

yup. Kind of nice that it's simple.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Matthews is going to score his 70th G on this team tonight and I’m going to have to watch this collapse on repeat ear and over again all over the Canadian media.

Time to go camping in the woods for a few days so I don’t rearrange my furniture out the living room window.

 

[ChrisJP23]

Theirs not a worse goalie situation in the league not with these at stake. Also Seider has been complete buns in these must wins and they aren’t facing some kind of unstoppable surge their blowing the game themselves

He's been horrible. I better see a big leap next season or he's not the guy we all thought he was.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Trolls out.

Add some muscle to that squad and you got a team capable of upsetting a higher seed.

 

[redwings8831]

Officially eliminated tonight with a regulation loss. Caps/Flyers play Tuesday so at least one will get to 89 and both have the tiebreaker.

 

[GMR]

Yzerplan working beautifully

What was the plan this season?

Play a bunch of veterans, bury the kids in the minors, and hope to make the playoffs just to get eliminated in four or five games?

Trolls out.

No playoffs in nine seasons.

 

[stillwater]

No need for nervous energy. We all know how this will end.

 

[theYman]

Ice is tilted. 7 goals scored on that side man

 

[datsyukfan]

Lose this third period and we are officially eliminated

At least I can stop being so pissed off and frustrated with this team if they just lose this game. Lalonde is one of the worst coaches I’ve seen and yzerman needs to figure this lineup the f*** out. Starts with hiring a competent coach

A backbreaking short handed goal is my prediction

Does anyone actually expect Lalonde to be fired in the offseason?

 

[nbwingsfan]

Trolls out.

And it’s 100%. Deserved. They blew a 3G lead in a must win game after blowing a 10pt lead in the WC standings.
Is that supposed to be excusable or “part of the plan”
