Post-Game Talk: Shootouts = zzzzzzz

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

And Tampa comes back and wins in OT.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

That's why hockey is the best.

It's not fun when a team outshoots them by 60 attempted shots or whatever and still loses

It's good when a stacked team loses cause they didn't try that hard or something

 

[Eastopia]

Mrazek got outplayed hard tonight.

Also please get Tatar off of Larkin's line. Actually get him off of anyone's line. He is straight trash.

Give Tats a game's rest to think of what he's done and let Pulkkinen stretch his legs again. I'm not entirely serious but that babysoft ******** before the 2-1 goal really pissed me off.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

With Florida losing we're only 5 points out of 1st place now. Played a very good game and deserved a better fate Varlamov was the difference.

 

[RedWingzz]

Should have won 6-2. We have no finish...no idea how we lose that game.

Shootouts make me sick. We are easily the worst shootout team in the NHL. We literally lose every shootout.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Helm with 7 shots on goal tonight who knew. To bad he could've put one of those in.

[KJoe88]

that 2nd goal by the avs should have been saved

but doesn't matter. wings couldn't finish on their chances once again

The posts, pucks in front bouncing rambunctiously, etc... Varlarmov had way more.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The only bright part of this game is that mrazeks stats would only go down to .933. Maybe not at all

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Now back to back games against the Bruins and the Islanders the Bruins on Valentines day and the Islanders the next day going to be a short turn around with a 3:30 games against the Bruins and then a 1:00 game against the Isanders hopefully Blashill goes with Mrazek for each game we need the points.

Colorado has an unbelieveable kryptonite for many teams at this season. They lose posession totally, look absolutely horrible, and somehow manage to win games.

Their all wins look this, are totally outplayed, they got lucky bounces and opposite teams won't get their bounces. MOD insane. That can't last for 82 games.

My scoring attempts were 43-14. Best domination from Wings in any game at this season. With those attempt amounts you should win a game easily with 2 goal margin or more.

But it was again this "Colorado"-result.

Just nuts.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Oh well we're still 3-0-1 on the 5 game homestand hopefully we finish off the Bruins on Valentines Day and the Islanders on Monday Let's Go Red Wings.

 

[Bench]

All shots and no goals make Bench something something...

 

[Ennui]

Varlarmov got the bounces. Mrazek did not.

Red Wings got Ericsson, Avs do not. I'm amazed at Mrazek's patience with his constant gaffes and lackadaisical play, I'd be telling anyone that would listen that Errorson needs to get moved ASAP.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The problem in a nutshell we just couldn't bury our chances no finish to this team at all.

 

[lilidk]

I'm honestly stunned that the Avs won. Like WTF.

i know they looks like AHL team

 

[theanomaly]

Richards has been our best guy in the shootouts this year. That would have been silly.

maybe, but i still dont like his moves. also small sample size.

regardless, im sure we can agree that goose should not be shooting.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'm honestly stunned that the Avs won. Like WTF.

In a nutshell they got all the lucky bounces and we didn't and that was the difference.

 

[KJoe88]

Red Wings got Ericsson, Avs do not. I'm amazed at Mrazek's patience with his constant gaffes and lackadaisical play, I'd be telling anyone that would listen that Errorson needs to get moved ASAP.

Why blame Ericsson? He was the LEAST of our problems tonight.

He actually had a really productive game.

I don't get it.

 

[Ulysses31]

Played great game I thought~also the best lines Red Wings have had all year

 

[SoupGuru]

So, does anyone remember the stat they showed about what percentage of the offense comes from a team's defense? And the Wings were leading since January 1st?

I mean.....

With as craptacular of a defense as most guys around here are saying, it must take a special kind of forward group to make them look like offensive juggernauts.

 

[theYman]

Should have won 6-2. We have no finish...no idea how we lose that game.

Shootouts make me sick. We are easily the worst shootout team in the NHL. We literally lose every shootout.

Lines looked great skating circles around them but still can't finish. I don't understand.

 

[Ezekial]

It's all Howard's fault. Oh and Blashill and El Niño.

and Obama.

 

[theYman]

and Obama.

and Bush and Clinton....

 

[Bench]

and Bush and Clinton....

Guys, this goes all the way back to the founding of the Illuminati when Ben Franklin signaled with his lightning kite that no Red Wing shall convert in a shootout. There was a documentary about it with Nick Cage.
