Post-Game Talk: Another blown 3 period lead

[Heaton]

Lines need a shakeup, we're not generating enough offense. And why the **** is Helm out there with an empty net?

[DaGoose]

I can't take this anymore.

 

[hot dog]

Can't believe they didn't score with the EN.

 

[korrowan]

No one deserves a star. They all deserve coal in their stockings for that **** show.

 

[Flowah]

Holy moly. We had at least 5 opportunities with the goalie down and out and we either miss the net or get it blocked.

And yeah, these third period collapses are getting real old now.

 

[Claypool]

Defense takes forever to move the puck out. Opposing teams just forecheck and it inevitably leads to a turnover.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

We're generating offense, the hockey gods just ****ing hate us apparently. Every time the other team gets a lucky ****ing bounce and meanwhile there is a forcefield around their net... blows my mind.

 

[TheMule93]

Larkin officially in a slump, team has sucked the past 4 games too

Oh well.

 

[edmundbenz]

GG guys.. Start another streak.. We need AA. Jurco is garbage.. Send him back to AHL.

 

[Vladdy84]

Time to cut Joker. Bring up AA and Mantha. Reunite Dats and Tats.

 

[detredWINgs]

That was possibly the worst display of collective shooting I've seen from this team in a long time. Either completely off target or right into the goalie.

So disgusted with this game. Wish we would've been blown out instead.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Well deserved loss.

Mrazek was mostly good, didn't love the first goal. Helm was good. Larkin started good and then disappeared. Defence was mostly good, Marchenko, DK, Smith were all good.

Still have a bad taste in my mouth from that poor Jurco PS.

 

[TheObserver]

this team needs a trade or something.

I'd trade helm and abby.

This doesn't happen to the truly elite teams. The Wings offense is incredibly average, despite the 'depth' on paper. We have a lot of guys with 10 goals and we have even more guys who aren't doing anything.

 

[RedWingzz]

Absolutely ridiculous.

We could be in 1st in the league if we knew how to hold on to a lead. It's not acceptable in my mind. People can go on all they want about the "point streak". The way I look at it, is we gave away an insane amount of points, and could be way higher in the standings. It really is pathetic. Actually, it was pathetic 5 blown leads ago, now its embarrassing.

Get Datsyuk off of this current line.

 

[Acoustic]

Guys, 13 game point streak, don't panic!

Seriously, giving up a lead finally cost them in that they couldn't lose or win in OT.

Thankfully, I guess, the division is so bad they can still make the playoffs.

Don't know what you're talking about. We're a million times faster at moving the puck out of the zone than we used to be. We're getting burned now because we aren't manning the slot well enough and because we can't ****ing score goals consistently.

 

[chances14]

nyquist being robbed was the hockey gods way of telling them that blowing this many 3rd period leads is not acceptable

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Think Nyquist's would be goal would have been wiped out by Gator anyway for Goalie interference.

In any event disappointing effort, they finally paid for this without any points. They have some things to work on and Blash has a couple of practice days coming up where he can hammer home his points.

They need to play a little better across the board right now again....

 

[ap3x]

Don't ****ing care about the ****ing streak. But that's just plain stupid all over again.

 

[Heaton]

And what was that penalty shot attempt by Jurco? I'd waive him after that.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Called it early on, we were missing some great, great opportunities early in the game. Open nets, posts, missed penalty shot by Jurco etc. It came back to haunt us.

And of course Johnson had a ridiculous save at the end. We just couldn't score.

Oh well. May be good for this team to get a regulation loss so they can clear their heads of the streak and get back to playing winning hockey again.

Commence the panic-button posting.

 

[Actual Thought*]

Text book Blashill game. Abysmal offence, cough up 3rd period lead.

Jurco's effort on the penalty shot was the worst thing I have ever seen.

@ArGarBarGar

In response to your post from the GDT, i just think looking at the # of points a team has can be very deceiving in terms of extrapolating how good they are. Just too many loser points to fatten up your point totals.

 

[aar000n]

gwg offsides in order for the play to be considered onsides all players must clear the zone. Buffalos players did not all clear the zone as they passed. Whats the point of replay if it failes like that?
