one team was ready tonight and that team was dressed in blue..
The Leafs were ready we look disorganized, not interested..everyone.
They say you are suppose to play last preseason game like its a regular season game...well i didnt see that tonight. With an allmost full line-up it was sad to Watch.
Even though he wasnt test much Larsson look big and confident...i like that.
Oh well..let's hope we have a better season than this display tonight, i can understand the Leafs will be good but ….i was expecting much more from us..

Terrible turnover by our best player for their first goal. Another terrible turnover by our most experienced d-man which gave them a shorthanded breakaway goal. Then they scored what appeared to be an offside goal, which led to a challenge (which we lost which led to another |PP goal for the Leafs). Horrible game all around. The good news is we can't play any worse.

Sooooo Howard giving up five goals was on the team? Im sorry but he should have been cut years ago. Goalies are supposed too ..."steal"...games occasionally. When was the last time Howard actually stole a game??? Forgive me as my comments actually have little to do with last nights game as I saw none of it. Merely years of pent up frustration. Just because they made a colossal error signing him doesn't mean he can't be cut. Rant over! Looking forward to next Saturday night in Nashville! Hopefully I won't be cursing up a storm by 8:15 ET:). All together now....LGRW!!!

My takes from the game.
Howard is in mid season form. When Larkin gave up the puck in the first 30 seconds you knew it was going to result in a goal
Top line is good for the Wings but then it drops off too much.
Glad to see the energy line is made up of veterans. It signals that none of these players will be in the top six ever again for this team.

If this game showed me anything, it was that once again we won't be a very good team. Don't get me wrong- I love the Red Wings- but... when we put our NHLers up against their NHLers we got exposed. I'd love to drink the kool-aid but I am going to call it a pig's ear. I signed up and paid for NHL.tv and I'll root for the boys to win but I think we're looking at a top 5 draft pick come next June.
If Stevie is the miracle worker we think he is, he will find a way to get something for Ericsson, Green and Daley before or at the TDL. If he is the superhuman GM we hope he is we'll see him shuffle Nielsen and Abby to some dim-witted GM for something. That's my hopes for this season... that and to beat Babcock's blue and white ass a few times. Let's Go Red Wings.

well can we at least say that Mo Mantha looks like a beast out there...that's positive right ?
If he is healthy he will reach 40 goals...

Need a couple more scorers and keep about a half a puck less per game out of the Wings net...thats all! LOL! I don't believe true tanking as a team happens in the NHL like the NBA and to a lesser extent the NFL. This is why I don't understand why they can't get a guy like Marner or any other decent scorer. While it may not improve their Cup chances one bit it MIGHT put more butts in Ceasar seats thus possibly helping the home team? The ownership board/Chris Illitch is a joke . The Tigers were a contender and Comerica was nearly full many nights five or so years ago when they GAVE away great players for NOTHING! MAKES ME SICK! BTW...the Tigers just finished 47-114...the worst team in MLB! The Wings cant entice FAs so the only way to improve is through the draft or trades. GOOD LUCK 19! LGRW!!! |

-I Don't know if you are aware of that but Marner just signed a six years contract Worth just a bit Under 11 mil a year...

Let’s do 2019-2020 preseason predictions in new thread. I’m worried same guy running the Wings is running the Tigers. Lions are best team in town now, that should tell you something. Season starts this weekend, got my CenterIce, LGRW. Come on, let’s go! Anybody with me? No? Let’s go Griffins? When’s the TDL? FA signings? Is this an Olympic year? We can always hate on Crosby. Come on now, The Captain’s back, we’re going to have a great year! L G R W !!!!
