What a setup by Hank...

Well what do you expect, he ranked almost dead last in SP and GAA last year while Howard ranked right at the top with the same D. Of course it's not all his fault, but he's not helping.

Defense is awful. Give me Cholowski, Hicketts, Hronek, and Sarijaarvi

Go Wings!

5 minutes til puck drop, who's around?

What exactly would any of the kids learn from McIlrath? Which team has the nicest press box? How comfortable are the seats on the team bus? Lashoff played the entire season for the Wings in 2013-14. He knows what its like to make a meaningful contribution to a team at the NHL level. McIlrath has barely had a cup of coffee in the NHL. Lashoff played in 5 playoff games. McIlrath has zero. Lashoff has been there, done that. He knows what its like to wear the Winged Wheel. McIlrath doesn't. Lashoff has played for Blashill, McIlrath hasn't. McIlrath's strengths are his size, strength, and physicality. Not one of the kids plays that way, nor should they. I wouldn't have McIlrath mentor Saarajarvi any more than I would have Witkowski mentor Svech. Lashoff relies more on positioning, fundamentals, the mentality of the position. That's what the kids should be learning. That's why I like him in GR, for now. That's what I base my comments on. Anyways, I feel like this has come to a stalemate. Totally fine with that. I am just a noob here so I don't want to come off as being disrespectful in any way. Some of you guys have been around for a while and know your stuff so I respect your opinions even if I don't agree with them and I hope my posts reflect that.

Hopefully we destroy them so the wings Twitter person can reply with a simple “scoreboard.”

Bomb you say GMR?

There is a glaringly bad problem and it's our D. Daley has been a nice surprise, so has Green. Jensen was a bright spot last year but he's buried on the bottom pair with Ouellet who has been bad. Kronwall looks okay, not a lot of mistakes. Ericsson remains the backbone of our terrible back end. I think with Howard in net, it's a 2-2 tie, but not faulting Mrazek for any of the 3 necessarily. 3rd goal was stoppable, but was also an unexpected shot to the corner and was well placed.

No.

Really happy to get out of the 1st with a lead, but it's not gonna be pretty if they keep playing like this.

Count your blessings. Could eezily be 2-1 VGK right now. Same old story. Waaaaaaaay too much of this game taking place below the faceoff dots.

once again we are deteriorating into a disorganized mess wake up Wings!

Nosek looks pretty good.

Dude he faked out Fleury with the bicycle kick so bad lmfao. Datsyuk and Zet always had Fleury's number.

the Goose is Loose

NYQUIST!

Please, Please, Please, give Zetterberg a linemate that will retrieve a puck in corner, and won't be scared to do some of the dirty work. I'd even be okay with Abdelkader, if that's what it has to be. Just drop one of the two deadbeats that he has to carry, of of his line. LGRW!

Damn that sexy Larkin and his sexy shorts and high socks, damn him

I want to see Fleury get lit up like it’s April in Pittsburgh again
