Yet another "inspired" performance and now clinging to a playoff spot by the thinnest of margins.
Mainly focusing on the idea that Blashill is clueless because he put Helm in the shootout.
I'm more annoyed with Zetterberg who had a gaping cage to shoot at but put it right into Miller because he had a simple set play in mind.
Datsyuk played a great game, minus that shootout attempt. It boggles my mind how he doesn't even attempt anything exciting anymore. How many years ago was the last "Datsyuk"
I honestly don't think Zetterberg has the body control anymore after a full hockey game at this point in his career to deviate from the move he had settled on in the middle of performing the move.
Larkin went into the boards after his deke. Why? Because he went all in on the move and just couldn't keep his balance. I don't think either Z or Datsuyk want to go into the boards or pull a hammy or something in a SO attempt.
Jim Howard stopped 5 of 7 in the shootout?
Can we give credit where credit is due? Everyone jumps all over this guy any other time we lose a shootout.

The problem was that Zetterberg had Miller beat but was dead-set on the "backhand five-hole" move and didn't even think to change it up. A guy with that much hockey sense should be able to adapt.
we had to overcome 2 soft goals so it was also his fault it went to a shoot out to begin with

Some people around here call every goal he gives up a "soft goal."
They're really dragging this stuff out, not calling anyone up. We already have just 12 forwards and should have called someone up a week ago, now we maybe lose Z too. Very easy decision to call up AA, and they should probably give Mantha a look too. XO deserves a look too. Team is in need of a bit of a jolt.
Blashill said he is embarrassed by the job he did of preparing his team. He then said he has "unbelievable belief" in the team whatever the **** that means.
Hank had such a nice move but what a putrid finish, why would he go 5 hole with an empty net?
What if Blashill said he wasn't embarrassed? Would you have also knocked him for that?
What exactly should Blashill be saying to the media?
