im just worried about what im going have to eat tomorrow now that I cant get free curly fries thanks red wings

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Nielsen has not interest in making plays he’s just out there trying not to screw up

He is third on our team in assists.

The Nielsen hunting around here is starting to get a little absurd.

Wish they had tripped him on a breakaway, we would have a tie game.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

ugh, another well played game that they got 0 points from. so many wasted chances. Anderson really bailed out the Sens.

 

[Bondurant]

Game is over? Dang. Fox Sports Go is 2+ minutes behind.

Your arteries will thank you

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Those two penalty shot attempts will definitely haunt this game.

Is there any way we can move him this year? I think he has 1 more or 2 more yrs left?

 

[YpsiWings]

Praying for the day where I don’t want my favorite team to lose. I despise cheering for a loss even though I know that’s what’s best. Feels gross.

Third in assists is not good on a terrible team like the wings it’s pretty standard for a forward playing that many minutes. Made that comment because he had the puck in the slot with 5 seconds left and passed it away to the point to end the game. That’s the look they wanted

You don't cheer for a loss. What you cheer for is effort, even if the result is a loss.

You had the ice level look at his lane bodies everywhere, get it to Kronwall to get a shot on goal to rebound where the scramble is probably what he was thinking. It didn't work out.

Saying he isn't out there to make plays and is just treading water when he is third on the team in assists is not something I agree with. But hey we don't have to agree. I get it, he is fully entering whipping boy status where his game isn't evaluated rationally at times around here in my opinion. We shall see. He isn't playing like a fourth liner and he isn't ruining everything at all times. I want him to play a little better, but I just am not seeing the level of bad a lot of others are. He has had a few clunkers but most of the guys have. Tough giveaway on the first goal tonight as well, but he is just better than I think people are saying is all I am driving at.

Cheer for Larkin, Mantha, Rasmussen, Cholowski, Bertuzzi to score and the wings to lose every game 6-5 with older dmen going -5 and cholowski being a plus 5. Young guys do well, team still loses.

 

[Ulysses31]

good effort..hope they can bring next one

I worded that poorly, whenever I watch I want Detroit to win. Never cheer for a loss, even though that’s what needs to happen. One of the very few things that the NFL gets right, worst team gets the first pick.

 

[Claypool]

Depends. Is the team winning thanks mainly in part of the younger players? Ok, I'll buy it.

Is the team winning because Howard is standing on his head and Abdelkader is scoring goals off his rear? That I will not cheer for.

 

[TheOtherOne]

Penalty shots are so awkward.

Of course you would choose to take one any day of the week. Well, unless the guy taking it is bad. But then if it gets stopped it's so deflating and you're out 2 pp minutes. It's like okay they committed a penalty but we didn't get anything for it and everyone just moves on.

I'm not saying I want a rule change or anything, I'm just saying. I don't know what I'm saying.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Is there any way we can move him this year? I think he has 1 more or 2 more yrs left?

3 more years left at $5.25 million AAV and a 10 team NTC.

I fear you are missing my point entirely. Wanting your favorite team to lose is disgusting, but necessary to acquire elite talent which Detroit is in dire need of. As I’m sure you are aware of having witnessed their squad against other NHL teams.

 

[HIFE]

I like when the broadcasts have strange malfunctions. Trevor's segments began a few times while he was unaware he was live. One shot had a crazy strobe effect happening. Then the power shut down on the Ram desk after the game. Is it possible the home team was dicking with the Detroit feed during the game?

The Wings were out of step and didn't deserve this win. Giveaways, mishandled pucks, errant passes, off-sides, icings... the effort was the there but the execution was horrible. So many blown opportunities. Anderson was great.

The bad blood between Ottawa is always good. Ever since returning to the east in 2013 these teams just don't like each other. Was it because we stole Alfeddson? Haha. Chris Neil and friends always went hard after the Wings- it's still a decent rivalry IMO.

 

[theYman]

How can we score only 1 goal against Ottawa the team with the worst GA in the league?? Yet manage 6 goals against the Coyotes who had the one of the best GAs in the league? Hockey is weird this year.

 

[avssuc]

Is it just me or do the Sens have one of the worst goal horns in the NHL?

And the person that selects and/or plays the music in that arena needs to be killed then fired... not necessarily in that order. It's like someone just hooked up Jaden Smith's iPod to the PA and hit shuffle.

You're not alone.

Another good effort, thought AA was really good again and unlucky not to hit the scoresheet. 7 SOG. He's really making something happen every shift, and he's dishing off the puck a lot more and looking to get other guys chances. Loving his progression.

Thought Larkin struggled outside a few shifts late in the third.

 

[SCD]

AA has those games where he out skates his puck handling ability.

 

[Snuggs]

What are the chances Jonathan Ericsson and Luke Witkowski play the next time Red Wings face the Senators?

80%? 100%? Younger Senators did just disrespect our alternate captain pretty badly early.

It's fun to watch, for sure. Watching the Borowiecki and Abdelkader show all game was fun, too.
