Post-Game Talk: Bad game gets to shootout where Wings are bad

[Heaton]

Blashill continues the trend from previous years putting Datsyuk out first who has no interest in trying anything different and then he puts Helm out before Sheahan or Jurco or Kronwall or Green. Unbelievable.

I don't think Blashill expects Datsyuk and Nyquist to completely miss the net, though.

"Darren Helm with plenty of speed."

followed by

"awwwwwwww"

 

[hot dog]

Zetterberg and Larkin both need to bury those SO attempts. Bleh.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Please longer OT next season.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Back to back losses against the Sabres then Nucks.

Yikes.

 

[TheMule93]

Lost in to a bottom 5 team in the league playing on the 2nd game of a back to back missing their top 2 centers, one of them being their captain and their best player

LOL

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

I just dont get it. Helm?

 

[aar000n]

Blashill is clueless. Helm in the shootout??

 

[TheOtherOne]

Has Datsyuk ever tried just telling the coach that he no longer wants to do shootouts? Instead of trying to make it clear through his actions?

 

[Dotter]

Welp, wings got a point they didn't deserve

 

[crashnburnluder]

Green, jurco, smith, abdelkader, Sheahan all way before helm in a shoot out...

 

[korrowan]

This team really needs to remove their heads out of their ***** or they are going to be in trouble in a minute here.

Blashill is clueless. Helm in the shootout??

I would honestly let Helm shoot before Datsyuk.

 

[Ezekial]

Hank had such a nice move but what a putrid finish, why would he go 5 hole with an empty net?

 

[crashnburnluder]

Send Richie first every time

I don't expect Datsyuk and Nyquist to score when they do the same thing every single shootout.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Bruins win again. 3rd in the division.

 

[aar000n]

I would honestly let Helm shoot before Datsyuk.

Kronwall green

 

[detredWINgs]

Larkin goes cold, whole team implodes.

Getting really annoyed with TSN collectively and individually underperforming.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Time to mix up the lines:
Z-Dats-Nyquist
Tats-Larkin-Richards
Jurco (or Mantha)-Sheahan-Abdelkader
Helm-Glendening-Andersson
is my idea. Dats finally gets a line to play with, Larkin and Tatar can play puckhounds together with Richards for the set-ups. The third line can hit people and make mistakes (hopefully a minimum) and the fourth line treads water.

 

[NervousPerson]

I waited all week for this? Howard was the only one awake the first two periods.

 

[crashnburnluder]

Put helm where he belongs, 4th line

 

[detredWINgs]

Yeah. Having a ****** day. Could've used a good result from this one.

It's been a few weeks since the Wings have been a source of positivity.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Who honestly cares about the shootout.

Need to simply play better. End of the 2nd period and most of the 3rd showed how much better than them we could be if we had played with a 100% effort. We had some huuuuge shifts where the puck was locked in their zone, and OT was all us too. This team just literally has no finish.

Helm is probably our best effort player lately, but his hands are worse than they have ever been. He does nothing but fumble the puck around the net. Time to call up Mantha or AA and give them legit top 6 minutes. Heck, call up both and pull Andersson and Jurco out of the lineup.
