GDT: Wings vs Jets

[WingedWheel1987]

It is a decent defense IMO.

Decent compared to 30 NHL teams.

It will most likely be the worst playoff unit out of the 16 potential playoff teams.

It might be good enough to get you into the playoffs, but it will be the reason you are destined to lose once you do get there.

It's built to fail.

If Tatar isn't scoring, he does nothing for this team.

Riley looked to be shaken up on a hit from Myers.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Decent? Mediocre with almost no upside is what i would call it.

Talking about 'decent' in terms of looking at what we have to work with. Not in terms of what we could do in the fantasy land where we trade Jurco+1st for Fowler.

You're wrong. Our defense is pretty solid with Q and Big E (how he was playing with DDK at least)

 

[SoupGuru]

Do you think if Ozzy had a drink or two he'd stop saying "ekspecially"?

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

What a pathetic effort. Just be thankful you're not sitting in a sea of Jets jerseys wearing a Wings jersey.

As a side note, enough with Howard. Just when they're starting to put some pressure on when they were down 2-0 he lets in a softie at the worst moment. Pure, uncut momentum killer.

And it's even more noticeable live just how terrible Howard is at handling the puck. He is just as much of a factor in the poor breakout as the D is. Howard leaves his net to play the puck you can pretty much be sure they're going to be pinned in their own end for a minute. Mrazek plays it and it's almost surely out of the zone.

P.S. Kindl should not be on this roster, seriously. WTF are you twiddling your thumbs for Kenny?

I'm from a bordering Ontario town so Winni is a slight haul away, I had a buddy talking to me about a ticket so I almost made the trek. REAL thankful it fell through.

Sorry you didnt have my luck.

I love Micky and everything, but just imagine if I had a dollar every time he said "holy jumpin"

I'd never have to work again.

Lol Tatar you useless ****

You miss the net from that close? What a ****ing useless player

 

[NervousPerson]

Tatar Jurco and Sheahan looking pretty good.

 

[SoupGuru]

Shoulda gotten a penalty on the Green hog-tie. The Smith one was a bridge too far.

Still.... maybe Datsyuk with score again

Tatar Jurco and Sheahan looking pretty good.

Nope useless all of em, they should just quit hockey forever.

 

[Claypool]

How didn't Thorburn get a penalty for hauling down that player (Nyquist?). lol

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

I guess it could be made interesting if they do something with this one?

Trying to find silver linings here

He uh did, didn't he?

These boards always bring the laughs during a rough game at least.

Good to see Tatar showing some life. Jurco also with a very good shift.

Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco really is a much better line than it is with Nyquist, Jurco brings that physical, forechecking element that the line is missing without him.

Yup, NST is the epitome of soft.

Hey, a non-Helm breakaway...stopped.

Z with multiple intercepted drop passes.

Tatar is waking up. A little late.

 

[SoupGuru]

Tatar with a little life.

Every now and then I wonder what the player leadership does in situations where the team plays like garbage like this.

 

[theYman]

Wow 4-1? Dats scored again. Looks like he's the only one who cares. Glad I missed this one. Guess whatever Blashill said about last nights game didn't sink in.

 

[TheOtherOne]

It's so exciting every time a Red Wing pulls a big deke on someone. Probably because interesting things happen so rarely.

 

[TheMule93]

This team is painfully average

It's worse than being a tanking team

Nosek with the dangle.

I'll echo the poster who said he has a similar skating stride to Datsyuk.
