When does the Pistons season start? 

 

Bad game.  Young teams are going to have these, lets hope they don't have them in a row.

The defense in front of John Gibson was horrible, but I don't think it's unfair to say he should have stopped at least 2 of those.  

Better clean that up in a hurry.   Cam should start Game 2.

Tell me again why we wanted Gibson over Lyon. Also, Cossa must be lightyears away if he's far behind this performance from Gibson. 

Tonight and the last preseason game - that's frightening.     Greg Stefan and Tim Cheveldae were better than that.

you wait all summer for the season to start and john gibson gives you this.

well, that's too bad. If the goaltending is going to be lousy any progress you do make anywhere else just going to get lost.

Looks like the big culprits were the new defensive pairing, but Mac was calling someone out. Rasmussen was a -2 on the night, so were Soderblom, Kasper, and MBN, but they haven't been "doing it for years."

Wonder what happens when Danielson gets healthy.

What did they expect from Hamonic - a 35 yr old coming of a season that already showed him in decline? Another signing that I imagine is going to be regretted/regrettable.

One year, $1 million. If he doesn’t play again this season it’s no big deal.

the idea that aljo had advanced to the point where he could anchor a pair was always fanciful thinking.  edvinsson's back probably hurts from carrying him all season last year.

this is why i was saying - hoping - thry could deal some of their forward depth for a defenseman.  or why the buium injury hurt so bad just when he was playing well.

how do you fit asp into this?  he needs to be with a solid defensive defenseman and they have no one to take that role.

its only one game.  dont panic.  but the early schedule is brutal.  that was the one game on the early schedule they were likely favored to win.

All I know is that when I see a Red Wing on D wearing #52 I get Jonathan Ericsson vibes.............and those aren't good vibes.  

You can fix a lot in Game 2 by being awake.    

But if the Leafs score on something like 2 out of their first 3 or 4 shots on Gibson, we've lost cabin pressure.   He has not looked good lately.   I have to be honest -- I didn't understand all the hype about him coming to the Wings.   Not saying I thought he was bad, or anything, I just didn't think he was all that great.       Memories of Roagie.
