Hey Garth

 

[Dotter]

Fun Fact: Glendening has twice as many goals as Sheahan.

 

[Reddwit]

Glad I was able to catch the 3rd period. Entertaining period and a great game for trade value!

 

[ElysiumAB]

Trade Green and Mrazek TONIGHT, thanks.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Seems like forever ago since they got back to back wins

 

[Ezekial]

Wowzers, that came outta nowhere.

Christ blashill, why did you play Zetterberg 23 minutes?

 

[Konnan511]

Ericsson +4

He started the night as one of only two players in the positive for +/-. He's had a very good season. This will only help.

It worked, didn't it?

 

[Sentinel]

We hung on for two periods, mostly by committee (nobody really stood out, but everybody did their part). The only terrible player was Justin "Take a penalty" Abdelkader. Then in the third we exploded. Holy crap, this is the best I've seen our defensemen play on the offense all season! Even DeKeyeser got his first assist! But the main accolades of course go to Larkin and Z. Great games from both.

 

[Goalie guy]

Ericsson +4

He has been one of better D men this year.

 

[Redder Winger]

It worked, didn't it?

Getting outshot 37-22 is generally not the way to win hockey games.

Not with that attitude.

 

[Ezekial]

This Jonathan Ericsson has been a breath of fresh air that's for sure.

You stole my thunder! That was astounding with how great the Islanders were in the 1st and 2nd. Barzal was everything advertised. But then the sheer will of Zetter started owning Tavares; Larkin showed his experience over Barzal as the game dragged on. NY simply ran out of gas... or Greiss killed their spirit lol. I disagree about Abdelkader. Watching his shifts closely I noticed 4 or 5 times, whether by poking or kicking, he kept the puck moving in the offensive zone. He was winning some battles which is all I'm asking for at this point.

Add another team to the list that might be interested in Mrazek.

 

[Leadzedder]

How can people actually watch the games and openly root for the wings to lose? I can see boycotting the games and not watching them at all and hoping they lose, but to watch and hope they fail? ******ed.

As the OP of the tank tracker thread, I'll say...

I actually cheer for them to win if I'm watching. Which is most of the time. But with how many losses they've had this year, a positive spin was needed.

 

[Red Stanley]

Lol this game ...

 

[Bench]

Getting outshot 37-22 is generally not the way to win hockey games.

It's like that Simpsons where Homer becomes a boxer and lets his opponents punch him until they are so exhausted he nudges them over.

 

[Bondurant]

Nice goals tonight from defensemen.

 

[theYman]

If we win tomorrow night I'll eat my Red Wings hat.
