I have this game on internet radio. Thank god I couldn't get the game in BC. DISGRACEFUL. Bye Bye Blashill!!!!!!!!!

He's one of five forwards who can move the puck competently. The guy's been pretty lousy this year, but this isn't a game I see him being an issue.

He might not be an "issue" but he certainly isn't helping a whole lot. Granted, we can easily say that about most of the forward corps.

 

[Winger98]

I’m over the Bowey experiment.

Nielsen was calling for a puck off the netting before that goal, and I guarantee that’s what they were looking at.

They were, but they decided too much time had elapsed between them screwing up and the goal for it to matter. That's how the Preds announcers were describing it anyway.

 

[Christien]

Arby's should do a promotion where you get curly fries whenever the Wings don't give up five goals.

Or curly fries whenever Daley's in the lineup

Nielsen's doing a good job on his double Sheahan

I came to post the same. We're all on the same wavelength tonight.

Just made it home from work. My expectations weren't high but I was expecting another shit show. This madness must come to an end. I'll keep watching for a bit. Eat a few more slices of Hungry Howie's but after that I may just catch up on Mad Dog Radio or Stern.

Makes sense... seemed odd how nobody on the Wings’ broadcast picked up on it.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

If you combine Nielsen and Gator's projected point totals for the season, you end up paying 9.8 million dollars for 20 points.

 

[lhsgolf19]

I think you need to make the move... Bylsma needs to be made interim HC ASAP

I know the roster stinks but this is unacceptable

 

[Winger98]

That's part of why I have a hard time coming down on him, especially when I think he's had a pretty decent game. I wouldn't exactly shed a tear if he got sent to GR, but this roster is just so bad... .

Why? He literally has the worst defense in the NHL and a runner for the worst defense any team has had since the salary cap era started.

 

[newfy]

We should’ve claimed Witkowski off waivers. Would give the fans something to cheer about and he is legitimately a better NHL defender than Biega, Hicketts, and Bowey

I dont really think the wings are getting bullied or anything this year but it would be nice to have a guy like Witkowski who would go out there every shift knowing it could be his last in the NHL and play like it. It would give the fans something to cheer about and maybe spark the team a bit with a big hit or a fight. No way hes a downgrade hockey wise from Hicketts but hes a big upgrade on energy and entertainment.

The only guy I've thought played desperate hockey this year out of the lower line guys was Svechnikov and he barely even got a look. Keep rolling out the complacent old guys who are just collecting a pay check and arent worth watching. Gonna need Smith, Witkowski, and McIlrath in the lineup to keep anyone interested if things keep going the way they are

It’s easier to fire your coach than it is trade all your players.

Not sure how legit this is?

Yeah put does the Titanic need a new Captain? Because either way its sinking.

Part of it is his own doing, BigE, Lashoff, MacIlrath, and Seider are all better than Hicketts. That is unless Stevie is forcing Blash to play Hicketts. I do not think that is the case.

… and Svech is better than Hirose, Smith is better than Ehn.

 

[Goalie guy]

I went to the store we are up by one come home down 5-1 lol.

 

[Gniwder]

I left work during the intermission, came home and find the score 5-1. WHy do I even bother with this team when I'm also a Caps fab?

LOL, I just posted the same.... driving home from work for me (I live on the West Coast).

I feel your pain.... I was kinda excited to watch the rest of the game

Do you take the chance that a new captain can steer the ship somewhere to minimize the casualties, or do you just say “f*** it, we’re going down anyway,” and rearrange some deck chairs?

MacIlrath and Lashoff aren't better, they are analogous. Big E is done in the NHL and Seider isn't NHL ready. Basically rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

I wonder what the price would be.

One does not steer a sinking ship.

I can't argue with any of this.

The Titanic is mid impact. There's nothing to do other than ride it out. This team is a bottom of the league team no matter who is at the helm. At least Mantha, Larkin, Bert and Hronek have all developed under him.

Is it too early to start the tank tracker?
