Post-Game Talk: Wings do everything they can to keep Howard's losing streak alive

[TheRatPoisoner]

It's more than possible, it's fact. When you go from Lidstrom, Coffey, Fetisov, Konstantinov, Chelios, Murphy, Chiasson, etc to Smith, Oulette, Ericsson, etc, yeah, that is a problem.

Not a sarcasm guy I see

 

[SpookyTsuki]

No one can score on this team we need a change!

Perversely it might be the best thing that happens. Get a top 15 draft pick and the odds of fixing the defense improve substantially. There ain't a surefire guy among all our current propspects and only DeKeyser looks capable of playing top pairing minutes once we're eventually good again.

You need a top 10 pick maybe.

 

[Run the Jewels]

You need a top 10 pick maybe.

There are these things called trades. Run and tell Ken Holland that, homeboy!

 

[YpsiWings]

Like us, their forwards are nothing to write home about.

You really think Carolina's forwards are comparable to the Wings? I couldn't disagree more, in fact there is only one team in the East that is definitely worse than the Hurricanes in the forward department.

 

[RedWingzz]

Wow....

You gotta feel bad for Howard. He finally plays well, stands on his head, and they can't even score 1 goal for him. So many underachievers on this team right now. Tatar and Nyquist are huge disappointments. They are supposed to be in their prime, yet look lost out there on most nights and are not contributing at all. I honestly cant believe I wasted 100 bucks last year on a Tatar jersey last year. Pulkkinen is an AHLer at best. Riley Sheahan, whatever happened to that guy. Zetterberg looks bad too half of the time. At least #13 keeps me awake.

Thats 4 losses in a row. Having Columbus next scares me. They will probably be over confident entering that game, and play like garbage. This is easily the least fun I have ever had watching this team.

Honestly, once Datsyuk retires, it will be really tough to watch all the games.

I wonder how Mike green feels about going from Washington to this mess.

He probably goes to bed every night crying about what could have been if his contract was one year longer. Washington is insanely good this year.

Wonder how mike Green sleeps at night?



Get your point though. Caps gotta be favourites to win the cup this year, and he's sent to a bubble team.

What was smith doing on the 2-1?

 

[RedWingzz]

There's nobody below the Wings in the standings that's any better. NJ, Carolina, Philly, Ottawa, and Montreal. Nobody with a positive goal differential and none of them playing better than .500 hockey like the Wings. Closest team, NJ, has lost 3 straight themselves.

This team makes the playoffs without a meltdown, but without a huge turnaround in play, it would look a lot like limping in.

Carolina and Philly are easily playing way better than Detroit right now. Wings are a mess.

Losing the game?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

What was smith doing on the 2-1?

Costing us the game that's for sure.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Costing us the game that's for sure.

How on earth were we going to win that game without scoring any goals?

 

[SpookyTsuki]

It involves 35 year olds doesn't it

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

How on earth were we going to win that game without scoring any goals?

Well that sure didn't help either did it.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

no lidstrom, of course....

 

[SpookyTsuki]

If you can't score goals. You don't give up goals

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

I honestly try to keep an open mind when it comes to Brad Richards but he is so useless it's hard to stay that way.

This is why I was against the signing. Guy is going to be spoonfed minutes with our best players because he was good ten years ago.

I'm trying to figure out how you can be this bad and apparently be impactful in the playoffs... I don't see it.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Poor Jimmy.

He lost 1-0 in New York a couple of years ago as well (that was the game when Andersson was our 1C and we got outshot something like 48-20)

 

[HIFE]

My phone just got an amber alert for Larkin.

That was hilarious WW I am literally crying in laughter, or pain?

 

[ap3x]

The **** is up with this Blash' distribution of Ice time? Brilliant idea to play Dats, Abby and Z around 24 minutes
whereas giving guys like AA and Pulks less than a third of that TOI. Feeling bad for Jimmy...

Some good news: Kronwall will play on Tuesday Said this to Swedish media http://www.svt.se/sport/ishockey/henke-holl-nollan-i-suddenvinst/

 

[ap3x]

Good to hear. Let's hope that we'll see another Kronwall than before.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Good to hear. Let's hope that we'll see another Kronwall than before.

I would take Kronwall at his worst over pretty much anyone but Dekeyser currently.

 

[Sentinel]

This prank is getting out of hand.

There's a lot of problems with the Wings now, hard to point to one single thing. But is it possible this blueline is the worst the Wings have iced in like 20 years or so?

More like 25. In 1990 we already had Lidstrom and shortly after Konstantinov.

Ken Holland special: pay a guy like he's still a 60 points per season producer. Anyone who's seen him play these past few years knows he's a shell of what he once was.

And you would be wrong again.
