Let's hope Tatar goes on one of his hot streaks. It's not secret he's prolly the streakiest player on our team, so a hot streak now would be a good thing.
Abby gotta be streakier. Scores 3g in 4gp and then disappears for 15games
I'll take the two points, but I dont think they played a great game overall. They're still giving up way too many quality scoring chances. Against another goalie than Chad Johnson, this game could just as easily have been a loss. Getting the W is a step in the right direction after the last 3 games, but this team still has a lot of issues to sort out.
I like what I'm seeing from Nosek so far. There was never much hype, and I haven't seen him play many games in GR, so him looking like he could and maybe should be a regular is a bit of a surprise to me.
Sheahan was a beast. Probably his best game of the season.
Marchenko continues to impress on D, Ericsson and Kronwall not so much.
Eichel looked really good for Buffalo. Nice to see him get going after a somewhat rough start.
Nah, people always say that, big trades rarely live up to the fans perceived value.

Ya maybe you're right. Tatar is definitely a streaky scorer too though. He seems to have 10 game stretches where he snipes every game, then has a 10 game stretch with no goals, 2 assists and -5.
Mrazek too.Which young guys are you planning to build into your core? Larkin and DeKeyser are really the only ones that seems like they could be core components.
Yes.Win is all that matters, no matter how ugly it was.
People seem to be on the 'win is a win' but being outshot and letting one of the worst teams in the league dictate play is not a positive sign.
FWIW, this season the Red Wings are one of the best teams in the league at avoiding high danger scoring chances against.
You prefer to outshoot and outplay the opponent but lose?
To be honest, I do prefer that for the most part.
Unless it's a playoff game, then I'll take the win any way I can get it.

When your going through a mid season slump (like we have the past 10-11 games) a W is 2 points so you take it. It would not surprise me at all if the flu bug was going around the locker room. Cause the "energy level" as it likes to be put as was erratic or bad for around 5-6 games.
The "dog days" of a season are important to get out of. And at this point in time it appears we are in them perhaps starting to sort them out and get upright again. It can be frustrating to watch but as long as what appears it to being sorted out then that is all you can ask for.
You gotta win to get to the playoffs.
