Post-Game Talk: Another super entertaining game!

[Reddwit]

Holland has really damaged his credibility over the last 18 months. Too bad the media still blindly believe him for the most part.

It all started when he did that radio interview right before he was forced to call up Nyquist. Radio DJ (forget who it was) asks him about the fans demanding that they call up Nyquist, and he goes on his "this is a men's league" rant. Ends up calling up Nyquist a few days later and the rest is history.

Ever since then, he's been giving the fans tons of idiotic soundbites to key in on. Fortunately, like you said, the media doesn't question him.

1) We are garbage defensively

2) Every time Tatar or Smith touch the ice in OT I cringe

 

[Bench]

Wish we would have just lost 4-1. Getting loser points does nothing to help this team's future.

I prefer this. Mantha and others showed they can push back.

 

[datsyukfan]

I'm still pissed with the reffing we had 2 grade A chances taken away due to hooks and nothing called. Sick of NHL reffing

 

[Reddwit]

Hey, did you guys also catch Pierre agree Larkin was attractive?

What? Not surprised. #JustPierreThings

 

[Pavels Dog]

For once, a good effort by the team after going down by a few goals. Usually they just lay down and die, so refreshing to see them actually make a push. They only got 1 point but it may have been one of the biggest of the season.

Mantha was unbelievable tonight. Had a really good OT too, that shift right before Toronto was deserving of an OT winner. Of course with Matthews scoring, it instead puts all the limelight on him and Mantha likely continues to fly under the radar of people around the league.

Coreau kinda sucked. Guy needs to get mentally stronger. Just feels like he'll play amazing until he lets in 1 goal, then he falls apart.

So when we draft 14 because we just miss and get some scrub we won't see until 2030 helps how? Team has zero chance to do anything. They can barely play against the Leafs.

 

[Sheriff Bert]

Can't expect your goalie to stop everything with no defensive coverage. Blashill gets more credit for getting the team to OT when his poor lineup decisions cost us the game.

Jensen was pretty brutal. I feel like I've seen enough.

 

[Reddwit]

I am 100% fine with that loss. Exciting game, Mantha was a beast, and we're getting closer to that primo draft pick

I prefer this. Mantha and others showed they can push back.

Same. I don't even care about the loser point. Just happy Mantha is getting a ton of time to really see what he can do for himself and happy we didn't just roll over (although the Leafs had a hand in that - they really stopped skating).

I doubt we draft any lower than 10th overall

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Wings offense is improving.

Too bad their defense is getting worse.

 

[korrowan]

we are not drafting that high, lol

Okay, 8. Either way after the top 3 its all a crap shoot and no different than 20.

 

[evolutionbaby]

Blashill and that smirk after every goal/loss just blows my mind. He looks so smug and surprised that a goal or loss just incurred on his watch. So done with him!

 

[WingedWheel1987]

I'll take 8 over 20.

 

[Bench]

What? Not surprised. #JustPierreThings

They interviewed a female Wings fan. She said Larkin was fast and attractive. They then went, "Pierre?" And he goes, "I agree".

Awkward as all hell.

 

[chances14]

Jensen was pretty brutal. I feel like I've seen enough.

yup. for once i actually agree with management and can see now why he wasn't called up earlier

time for sproul to play again

 

[Panic at the Back]

Why does NHL.com and ESPN have Larkins goal as Tatars? Did I miss something?

No idea. I thought I saw Larkin flick it into the back of the net. I thought him pound the bench... Tatar goal.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Larkin scored the 3rd goal not Tatar, Not sure why Tatar is credited for the 3rd goal it was Larkin that banged that one home not Tatar.

 

[Ezekial]

If they are within 5 points he will weasel his way into another season as the captain of this sinking ship.

He doesn't have to weasel his way, he has 1 more year on his contract.

 

[Ezekial]

What's the ETA on Green? This team misses him a lot

 

[Laser Rayzor]

No idea. I thought I saw Larkin flick it into the back of the net. I thought him pound the bench... Tatar goal.

Yeah it must be a mistake, it'll be corrected. Tatar was in the high slot when that goal was scored. They must have mixed up 21 & 71

Was with Jeff Riger on 97.1 (iirc)

Glad my car was parked during that interview, I was steamed

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I was wondering the exact same thing, It's clearly Larkins goal not Tatar's they will change it.

I think you're just generalizing without any knowledge of this draft. This draft doesn't even have a generalized top 3 and its already January.
