Post-Game Talk: Why score 3 when you only need 1?

i thought smith was the best dman again tonight


good on him

You start to wonder if Nyquist is suffering similar hip issues as last year. His head is still there but his quickness and agility is not.

EVERY TEAM HAS A TIMEOUT ANYWAY. If a team doesn't use their "hail Mary challenge", they will just use their timeout instead. It's the exact same thing to a fan. It's nothing new.

It's really not a big deal to wait through one ******** challenge a game that would have been a timeout anyway.

I don't care about the wait as much as this "oh an inconvenient goal against, let's try to review it to see if we can find some tiny irrelevant infraction somewhere" crap which turns a sport of action into the ****ing Warren Commission reviewing the Zapruder film.

It's grating because we already get so few goals these days and many games are decided by one goal. It puts the game-deciding focus on video interpretation rather than the actual game.

Did anyone else see our season end when DeKeyser got the puck to the face?

I agree. Video review/coach's challenge sucks. Human error has always happened and still does but the old way balanced out in my opinion.

"I don't really dig Franzen's comment about the "Larkin hat-trick". A nose tampon, seriously? It's not just crude, it's not even amusing. Kid gets busted in the face, loses part of a tooth then scores the GWG yet again. Johan you were great but it's the Larkin show now bud!"

The thing is, it probably was a tampon. That's what we used in wrestling when someone got a bloody nose.

No. He's a 2nd pairing D-man. And provides no offense.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

No. He's a 2nd pairing D-man. And provides no offense.

But just so happens to be the Wings second best d-man. Sad commentary on the team's defence, but still I think they'd be screwed without him, especially with Kronwall out.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Z with goals in back to back games. Nice to see he can still turn it on every now and then. Great pass from Larkin obviously helps.

 

[topdawg]

How did nike look with dats?

 

[DanZ]

No. He's a 2nd pairing D-man. And provides no offense.

He's the Wings 2nd best defenseman. Being without 2 of our top 3 defensemen would certainly hurt.
