Before you see the light, you must die.
It wasn't Void again was it?
Certainly not. Not going to overreact to a small sample like that again.
Maybe.

I agree completely with you, but those two fossils are gone now. We need a 2C and at least one starting caliber tender and I think we’re golden. Maybe one other top-6 FWD. Take a non-existent line 2 for most of this season and mediocre goaltending and that’s what you get in some of these games that become losses. The Tampa game is the only one we never were really in. We could use a good D-man, also. I just think 2C and goalie are our biggest needs.Conte and Lou seriously ****ed this team beyond belief with their horrible scouting and drafting.
Hall has been -2 or worse in 4 of our last 6. Our top line just isn't producing at 5 on 5.
Some sort of Rebound control from Cory wouldn't have hurt either. An NHL goalie puts that puck in the corner, has the presence to either kick it out or do SOMETHING other than dropping it square right in the top of the crease, tho...goal 3 isn't on schneider, it's on butcher for the fail at the blue line, not covering his guy, and not clearing the rebound.
LoL Cory was 3rd star of the game....Detroit media trolling.
Coaching can't adjustguys are not executing. It is that annoyingly simple.
No idea why you guys want to make it more complicated then that.
These bad third periods are a trend now and need to stop.
he’s not the reason they lost. fundamentals are off right now.
That's fair...but he certainly wasn't our best player tonight and certainly wasn't one of the 3 best players on the ice tonight .he’s not the reason they lost. fundamentals are off right now.
I didn't blame him for the loss.he’s not the reason they lost. fundamentals are off right now.
Only one defenseman was a minus tonight.Hall has been -2 or worse in 4 of our last 6. Our top line just isn't producing at 5 on 5.
I thought Schneids looked good in the 3rd before he allowed the shorty. He was unsettled at best through the first two periods of this contest. He loses a tough angle shot in the 1st and gets a gift on a whistle after the puck is put in. First goal was poor and I noticed a few routine rebounds coming out for the rest of the 1st and 2nd period. He really settled in the 3rd but that last goal wasn’t a non-savable goal. Routine and clean wrist shot and comes right at him and he loses it. You’d like to see a save there for sure. I think it’s back to Kinker for Saturday and I think that’s the right choice. There is no starter right now. You wanna start? You gotta earn it to keep the nets right now. I think Kinker has mostly done that but the Nash game wasn’t his best and at the end of the day he might just be a solid backup. I don’t know what Schneids is anymore but I do know he looks shot.Some sort of Rebound control from Cory wouldn't have hurt either.

I'm not going to hang this loss on Cory at all - the team was crap, but goal1 was bad, and goal 3 was a subpar play at best.
I will say that Vatanen penalty right after he scored was total BS
I don't think they have a whole lot of structure built into their system in the first place.Think one of the key problems is viewing defense as an opportunity to transition at all times instead of, you know, defending well.
The game really does punish you for trying to cheat a bit and it feels like Hynes system is predicated on trying to have your cake and eat it too (sound defensive play and up tempo transition). It wholly requires someone who thinks like Nico, Zajac or Coleman, but that's asking a lot of a whole roster.
That being said, some unfortunate goals:
The very definition of a juicy rebound goal. 2 on 1 SH goal off a blocked shot. Magnet-guided empty net goal. Really, the goals aren't the issue. Much like the Florida game, the team's structure is off.
Definitely a troll-job, bro. Should have just given the three stars to Lidstrom, Yzerman and Fedorov.LoL Cory was 3rd star of the game....Detroit media trolling.
