I think this guy missed most of last season where this happened regularly and Reimer still managed to win.
I think that Ranger and Fraser looked much better tonight.
Why didn't a Gardiner play a lot? Why does he not get on the first Powerplay unit? He's been our best player in the pre-season and is probably our leading scorer
pretty dissappointing game, especially after a really good first period.
come 2nd period, we couldn't do anything.
I'm a little annoyed that our best skill players didn't get much ice time, though - Gardiner 16:34, Kadri 14:49, Lupul 16:04, and I definitely wish Kadri and Lupul were put back together, though I guess it's just preseason.
better bounceback tommorrow night.
To all those sahying its only pre-season. Did you see Detroit play? They were certainly not playing like its pre-season. Did you not see the structure Detroit was playing with? Leafs play the smurfs Oct. 1st and I don't see any urgency especially from the team that lost the game 7 the way they did.
Its NOT acceptable.
Also, enough with...
-Bozak on 1 PP unit, its bad enough he centers Kessel and JVR
-Lets just stop giving late period goals
-Defensive positioning has to be good avg ain't gonna cut it
Bag skate these ****ers if they don't put it together Oct. 1st

Carlyle says Gardiner isn't up to standard he played at in the playoffs. Adds he's running out of time to get there.
I thought Ranger was the worst player on the ice tonight, couldn't handle the puck and it lead to a number of good chances.I think that Ranger and Fraser looked much better tonight.
Really? I got the opposite impression.

What the ****? Running out of time? Is Carlyle taking his meds? Surely he realizes Ranger/Fraser or even Phaneuf haven't been better than Jake in this preseason.
Are you ****ing kidding me? Is he ****ing kidding?
Quality vs quantity. The Wings had way too many golden scoring chances tonight. Most of the time we got outshot last season, they were mostly perimeter low % shots.
This is the exact reason why corsi is next to useless.
If we keep getting outshot like this, we have to be extremely lucky like last year.
