I posted it after watching Jaccob Slavin deke Walman (I think) out of his skates and get a great scoring chance. And I'm pretty sure he's on their second pairing. Playing teams that get contributions from all 6 of their defensemen while we're icing f***ing Oesterle burns.

Guy plays 23 mins a night.


Tough game.

This is why you wait til AFTER the game to do your First Goal for next game entry....

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Rob Brind'Amour has a punchable face

 

[RedWingzz]

Raymond wasn't on the ice with the goalie pulled down by a goal in a game where Bertuzzi, Larkin, Vrana and Fabbri are injured.

Shows you the confidence Lalonde has in Raymond at the moment.

But what a body.

 

[raymond23]

I wanna rip on the Canes because that was boring as f*** but we are hopefully building a similar structured team

At least we competed well

 

[nbwingsfan]

A whole ton of offense missing from the lineup today.

Boring but could have been much worse

 

[Nut Upstrom]

If we're going to be a playoff team, we're going to have to learn to generate more chances in games like that. We have the players to score dirty goals in the blue paint, but no one seems to be going there.

 

[DanielMarois]

Lots of teams catching up to the Wings in the standings now that the schedule has gotten much tougher than earlier in the year

Team has to learn to shoot the puck more, which they were doing a lot of early in the season. They got some success and all of a sudden think they can be fancy. There is times for it, but in a game like this where Carolina is trapping hard and playing great D, shooting the puck is way more effective. Even getting a weak shot and getting new lines, offensive faceoff is better than working the puck around 4-5 passes and gaining no shot and loss of puck. Mick was muttering under his breath all night, " shoootttt the puck "

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Going 0/3 on the powerplay will do that. Especially with how mediocre our 5on5 offense is.

Raymond isn’t the best winger on Detroit this year like he was in his rookie season.

A whole ton of offense missing from the lineup today.

Boring but could have been much worse

Yeah, tough game to watch. Husso was great. Whenever you lose 1-0 you can’t blame the goalie.

 

[TheOtherOne]

Not a bad result under the circumstances, unless the team's job was to entertain me.

):

wtb vrana plz

 

[Snuggs]

Hmm... sucks.

Maybe they should be sellers and tank at this point. They've looked terrible the last few games. Really since the third period of the Lighting game.

…

So rather than urge the team to learn how to break this cold streak after losing a super tight game to one of the best hockey teams in the world over the last 3 seasons, you want to bust up the team? That’s a loser mentality.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

If Larkin is out long term, game over. Will be very hard for this team to compete in the loaded east without him.

Also Yzerman will get a very hard look at the future of this team without him and it should worry him that he could end up UFA. Can't screw this one up.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Sounds like I missed a real snoozer.

Rod Brind'Amour? More like Brinda-Bore, amirite?

 

[dalem177]

Well, sounds like I picked a good one to miss. But if they're here in MN tomorrow then I think it'll be blacked out for me. Poo. Missing 2 in a row.

They’re not making the playoffs with so many key forwards injured. They finally defend well and lay an egg offensively tonight. They’re on the verge of a losing stretch I’m afraid.

Eh what are you talking about? He was on the ice with the goalie pulled.

At 6-on-5 they have been alternating PP1 + 1 and PP2 + 1 the entire season.

No difference today, at about 2.40 left they pulled the goalie, PP1 was on the ice. At about 1.50 left PP2 (including Raymond) was on the ice, with about 1 minute left PP1 is on the ice again.

 

[Snuggs]

Perron, Bertuzzi, Kubalik, Maata could all fetch a good return.

Horvat trade is out the window.

I was in the waive Neds camp... but honstly might as well keep Neds around just so we can really get back into the Connor Bedard/ Fantilli sweep-stakes!

 

[lilidk]

I am no longer care about wins, just I like to see kids progress in the right direction and get lucky at the draft. Hope to see better team next season

 

[dalem177]

I want to see THIS team get healthy and get better.

 

[Steve91]

I can't even believe how bad Copp was in this game. I could've been out there in his spot.
