Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
Sorry, I was watching the Stars lose to Calgary and I recall back when I was reading Bench's posts he couldn't go 3 posts without mentioning Goligoski. It was intense, man.
Yeah, normally I don't like putting all your eggs in one basket, but when you've got so few eggs, it doesn't make sense wasting a perfectly good basket.

We have conceded 41 goals at this season, and Kronwall has been in the ice in 24 of them (58.5%). This includes power-play goals against.
Next guys in 14 goals are Abdelkader, Zetterberg, and Ericsson.
That's... pretty bad.

It should have been a penalty shot. There's no question Tatar is going in on the goalie all alone if not for the hook. My suspicion is because Tatar was able to regain his footing they didn't call a penalty shot. And the NHL wonders why guys dive.

I feel this loss may be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back & in the next couple of days we'll see some rumors about a possible trade, or there may be a trade. That is of course assuming that the Management team hasn't decided that this year is a lost cause and it's better just to ride it out.
I thought Tatar played well, the top line played well, the second line was reaaaaally bad again tonight (on the bright side this is only hurting Filppula's case for a big contract), Mrazek should have had the 3rd goal & imo the 2nd looked semi soft as well. Kronwall-Lashoff while not great tonight doesn't deserve all of the bashing they get, I know that we need a scapegoat(s) but right now pretty much all of our defence is looking pretty meh. With our defence playing the way it is we are going to need either a miracle turn around or Howard/Mrazek playing like Tim Thomas did in '11.

Maybe we should use Kronner as a net-front screener (because he's so freaking effective in own end) and put two forwards on the point. Chicago did this with Montador at last season.
I think this is an brilliant idea.

makes sence and I see your point. He was able to get up. Insted of staying down he showed heart and payed for it.It should have been a penalty shot. There's no question Tatar is going in on the goalie all alone if not for the hook. My suspicion is because Tatar was able to regain his footing they didn't call a penalty shot.

We had a 3 game winning streak going. Good way to kill it guys. Yup we're a .500 team. God I'd be frightened if we had a 7game winning streak. Means we'll lose the next 7. And my 100+ yr old grandma could hold her pee longer than we can hold a lead this year. Just sad. That is all.
But really, we should trade for AG. He's been a bust in Dallas and he might be a good fit here.

It's just like I feared. This team will not win many games outside of Datsyuk and Zetterberg carrying them to victory.
On the bright side, this will be a short season and it might just force the Wings to switch into youth mode. This year could result in some fantastic draft picks and who knows where things will go from there.
Tatar and Andersson are looking like they can handle themselves at the NHL level. Mrazek is looking like he's not far off, and Lashoff is proving to be a capable bottom pairing guy. I think Nyquist can stick with some patience on the part of his coach. The time to embrace the future might be soon at hand.

Yeah I kinda agree. It's not a typical mistake perse because he's trying his best to score. But you have to learn once in awhile to sell yourself in the NHL and make it look good to the refs.
Just for *****, and because you can easily search this, I pulled up every single post I've been involved in that mentioned Goligoski. About 15 posts in the Wings forum about him. 15 more in the Stars forum.
The last mention was over a year ago. But I'm surprised you remembered! You sentimental guy, you.
I was worried I was entering eva/Hudler territory, but I'll accept 0.5% of my posts dedicated to the one, the only, Goligoski.

This team is 3 points from being 4th in the conference despite the insane amount of injuries we have had and you are talking about blowing it up. The injuries have lead to throwing rag tag lineups out there, guys can't get any chemistry together. The lines that have been able to stick together and avoid injuries haven't been that bad. The defense is all over the place because there is two new guys in there every night it seems. Lets see where we are at the end of march and then start talking about blowing it up.
It's actually quite impressive that this team is where it is in the standings right now in spite of everything.

The one I'm pulling for is Holland moving to President and Nill moving to GM. Maybe Hakan Andersson to assistant GM.
I just don't think we can do better than Babcock right now. We'd need a guy who's more of a player coach and I'm not sure we have that. Granted, I don't know a ton about Renney, but is he that type? I never got that impression.
Which no-name/young player will Babcock blame for the team's failures today?
I predict Mrazek.
Czechs have a way of finding their way into Babcock's doghouse

Great call, it is definitely Babcocks fault that this team has 9,000 injuries and very little depth.
Who would you suggest we hire that is in the same ballpark as Babcock as a coach? If anyone is to blame for this team it is Ken Holland, and I'm not saying he needs to go either. We have just had everything go right for us for 20 years now and we hit a speed bump and everyone flips their ****.
