Mmm good goal by them. Hard to blame anyone there.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Helm being out is made more significant by Babcock's infinite wisdom of replacing him along side Datsyuk with Glendenning. That killed the 4th line AND Datsyuk's production at the same time. He should have kept Glen where he belongs on the 4th and stuck with Jurco with Datsyuk. 4th keeps their chemistry and effectiveness and maybe Datsyuk gets Jurco going.

Aside from that, this team is small and soft, so when teams crank up the physical play and intensity towards playoff level, the Wings can't hang. It's happened every year since '09. Not going anywhere until they're built for the playoffs.

In fairness he tried that first and Jurco was far worse than Glendening has been.

Though it has absolutely killed the fourth line not to have Glendening. A lot of suck coming of Miller and Andersson since Luke disappeared from doing all the work. I can smell it all the way from Florida how bad those guys have been.

I started Post-game It was over when they scored 4-1.

Brendan Smith quit on that play...turned the puck over, made a half assed attempt to check the puck carrier and left a two on one to the net. He straight up quit.

tmrw 8:0 vs. Pens. Or do we get a goal?

that fan who did the full facepalm on datsyuk jersey was priceless

 

[SoupGuru]

Have they taken Kronwall out?

Yep, I gotta hand it to him, he actually made this game entertaining.

 

[theYman]

And to top it off Pittsburgh couldn't even help us.

That'll be the gif for this slump.

 

[BinCookin]

That's about 3 minuses for Smith on that one.

He just pulled off a turnover pass followed by a massively out of position check attempt that led to a 2on1. Either by itself might not end with a goal.

I say Double --

 

[Run the Jewels]

Have they taken Kronwall out?

Hopefully it's just precautionary but yes, he got his "bell rung".

 

[aar000n]

LMAO, have you watched the game? I'm sure that one is on Howard too eh?

Your right no goal is ever Howards fault. Never ever Howards fault.

 

[TatarTangle]

Only people that bag on Howard say that. He should have had one or two tonight. Overall the defense let him hang out to dry all night. Only a fool would think otherwise.

Jurco was not that bad. I was at the game last Friday against Calgary, and while that line didn't score, Tatar/Pav/Jurco was probably our most dangerous line and controlled the puck most of their shifts.

Babcock just has no patience for rolling with a line that doesn't have a plug on it. Remember watching Cleary and Abdelkader drag Datsyuk down for 10 straight games 2 years ago? Heaven forbid he try that with some skill and hands riding alongside Datsyuk.

I'm just hoping 7-2 is rock bottom...possibly wishful thinking, but ah well

Post-GAME is up.
