GDT: Game #18 | Tampa Bay Lightning @ Detroit Red Wings | 7:00 PM EST | FS-D

[Claypool]

No need to go down like that and put yourself in that position. Falling on his face was a nice touch at the end.

If he didn't stretch and go down he wouldn't have stopped the first shot.

 

[drw02]

I wish the crowd would just start chanting WE WANT NYQUIST!! WE WANT NYQUIST!!

 

[theYman]

Why do we have so much trouble at home all of a sudden? It's been so long I can't remember when we last won a game at the Joe. And just 2 years ago we break the record for consecutive home wins.

 

[Pavels Dog]

If we could connect on a pass at some point in this game it'd be great.

#1 reason we're being outplayed in this period, so many easy passes mishandled.

 

[SoupGuru]

Gator looks good tonight. His line in general looks dangerous.

Oh good, at least he saved the 1st one.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Oh good, at least he saved the 1st one.

Tell me how he saves the 1st shot without doing what he did. Howard isn't some godly goaltender-he's a very good goalie-he cant save everything.

Really? I think he looks like he always does. Doing a lot of things to get noticed, but none of them are particularly productive.

4 straight periods of hockey without a PP...

Why would they take a penalty when they can easily defend us without even skating 100%

 

[f1seb]

He didn't have to commit and go down early. He could've just covered the right post and stood his ground. He then would've been able to easily slide to his left and cover the post while standing up.

Very good goalie is not where Howard is. He's a good goalie. Right now he reminds me of an over the hill Curtis Joseph that came over to the Wings.

 

[BinCookin]

Missed the first.

I see Z scored on a good forecheck from D.

Malone scored on a Lashoff/Howard combo.

Cleary is on line 4?
Tatar line 2?

How are things going???

 

[Dat Syuks for you]

4 straight periods of hockey without a PP...

Don't you hate how the refs are always conspiring for us and giving us all the powerplays?

 

[RedWingzz]

A powerplay would be nice...we never get any. We are 30th in the NHL in powerplays per game

 

[detredWINgs]

Don't you hate how the refs are always conspiring for us and giving us all the powerplays?

It simply bolsters the argument that was made back in the day: The Wings got a lot of powerplays not because of some phantom favorism but because they were the best puck possession team in the NHL. Ergo, they always had the puck.

Now that we rarely possess the puck, we aren't giving the opposition many chances to even commit a penalty.

Some pretty chincy calls against us to in that span. Abdelkader interference, That **** call this game. What happened to "Lets go Reff Wings?"

Amazing isn't it? At home no less. I thought the home teams get all the pps.

No arguments here. Makes perfect sense.

 

[drw02]

my god quincey is brutal

 

[Vladdy84]

Nice move hot hands.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Come on guys, a home win would be nice.

 

[drw02]

pretty much. well said.

 

[detredWINgs]

God, I wish Andy could skate...And shoot, I guess.

 

[theYman]

How did Cleary check Bishop? LOL
