Everyone else was kinda meh...

One team converted its chances. The other didn't. Simple as that. Not to mention that just the 3rd line seemed to generate some offense throughout the game.
Quite the irony that the goal came from Cole though. Don't really know what to expect tmrrw. Need to show up.

 

[korrowan]

This garbage is getting old. Really getting tired of watching this **** show.

 

[aar000n]

either anderson or glendining need to sit for Weiss.
Second I put this game on the refs. There should be fines and suspensions for that play. Added with a 5 min major and tossed out of the game. What happens. Detroits short handed.

 

[stillwater]

Andersson was the Wings best player tonight.

 

[Claypool]

Weiss is trash. Give it up. He's done, folks.

 

[HomersWorld]

Felt like the lines were just a jumbled mess most of the night.

 

[Frk It]

Missed this game.

Anyone stand out or struggle???

 

[The Zermanator]

Not impressed with the efforts they've been putting out lately. Getting cold at the worst possible time. It's a real problem if a 7-2 whooping is the only thing that can motivate a real effort.

 

[SoupGuru]

Yeah, you're not going to win too many games when Andersson is you biggest offensive threat.

Smith is comical out there. I swear Yakkety Sax should play when he's on the ice. He did play the 2-on-1 well, though.

Helm looked good.

Um..... yeah, that's about it.

Nyquist, where are you?

 

[HIFE]

Missed this game.

Andersson did stand out in a good way. He was hustling hard it reminded me of two season ago he had great chemistry and effectiveness with Nyquist. The line with Pulks and Gus did have the most advantage of all 4 against the Panthers lines.

I see the Zetterberg line struggling. They were -2 tonight, Z was 35% in the faceoff with 1 shot recorded. I still feel Cole is a fairly meh addition, Zetter is needing more and more support. Abbie is less of a force than he was earlier in the season. I don't know the chemistry is just ok, which isn't good enough. I do respect they're matching with the top 2 lines and hanging tough every game. I'm not sure what a better option even is.

Again sadly the Red Wings started slow but they had some great looks and chances throughout the game, at least 4 posts, arghh so close. I thought they played with heart, skating really well. Mrazek was solid, may be a little soft on the Jagr goal but our offense is to blame again. Just not good enough, strong enough to jam that puck in the net. We are going to have to be much stronger against TBL or we could get beaten bad.

 

[DatsDeking]

That first FLA goal was on Z, he barely made an effort to stop Jagr's shot

 

[Claypool]

I see the Zetterberg line struggling.

Zetterberg hit two posts. If those goals go in no one is talking negatively about that line. Nyquist had a near goal, Andersson also hit the post. I think it was just one of those games.

 

[DanZ]

Weiss is trash. Give it up. He's done, folks.

If Weiss is trash than Andersson is hot garbage.

 

[14ari13]

Babcocks new lines worked realgud.
Too many counterattacks.

Sens beat Bruins, now they Are 2 points behind Bruins with one game in hand. If they win that game, they will push bruins out of the playoffs.

 

[theYman]

Glad I missed this one after seeing the highlights. Good god is there a record for posts in a game?? Should have won this one single handedly.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

we can not continue to lose to non playoff teams with the way the sens are playing

i am very serious, we best be careful here as i think the sens will go 9-2 the rest for the way so long as they believe they have a chance, dont mess with teams who believe in each other and are playing with destiny

 

[ap3x]

Weiss is trash. Give it up. He's done, folks.

Luckily our team is doing pretty good without him. Especially as Luke transforms into a goalscorer right now.

Nyquist, where are you?

He clearly struggled in the third, as they didn't give him space at all. But did you miss the first and second? Pulkks, Andersson and Gus were the only reason to be optimistic that we might score. Other lines mostly didn't show up at all.

9-2? i highly doubt they maintain this run as good as that but i think we have 6 point gap (7 with tie breaker) and they have 3 games against the leafs.. one game in hand but it's b2b against tampa.

Smith, lets talk about Ericsson before we ***** about Smith

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

9-2? i highly doubt they maintain this run as good as that but i think we have 6 point gap (7 with tie breaker) and they have 3 games against the leafs.. one game in hand but it's b2b against tampa.

the way ottawa is playing i think it will go one of two ways

they will keep it up and make the playoffs or fall flat and not come close with nothing really in between

i think we have 13 games left and think we will win 6 of them and finish with 99ish pts

i think ottawa has 12 games left and will win 8 or 9 of them and finish with 97ish pts

I am sure it can change equally for each team, we win more and they lose more, but right now with the way they have been playing and how much they play for each other vs our play i think what i laid out above is the most likely scenario, which is somewhat scary to think

Have you seen Andrew Hammond? He's 12-0-1 and has that team rallying in front of him. I wouldn't be counting them out, we need to shape up and take care of business.

have you seen his career before this run?

i'm not counting them out, i implied the opposite.

they'd need to continue this miracle run, boston would also have to put pretty good streak and wings would have to basically below 0.500 the rest of the way (schedule is fairly hard though, said that before deadline). caps and few others are close to wings in points.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

have you seen his career before that/this run?

he is very likely a flash in the pan kinda guy but its as likely he will keep it going another month

 

[Kronwalled55]

Nyquist, where are you?

He was Detroit's best forward last night... Him and Pulkkinen played well.
