Wings look so soft.

yes. We had a 5 minute stretch in the 2nd period where we looked like we could have scored 10 goals had the puck bounced the right way. I get that it's impossible to play 60 minutes that way, but the Wings need to make the other 55 minutes that they aren't at their best so they're not at their worst. The inconsistency is annoying.

All in all I'm happy with the win to be sure. I keep hoping that we're going to come out and look like we did during the first part of the season and I think that's unrealistic in the short term. In order for us to play that fast, aggressive, freewheeling style of game you have to have a ton of faith in your goalie. I think Lyon is slowly earning that trust from the team, but given how things have played out this year I think it's going to take a minute. I also think the team is missing Kostin pretty bad. I realize that seems silly because he's a depth winger, but he was a consistent part of the lineup in the early part of the season and his physicality really dragged the rest of the team into the fight. If, for example, he goes out there in the first period last night and beats the sh*t out of Gudas (it's coming) then I think the rest of their team chills out on the rough stuff, and the rest of our team plays a little taller than they are.

Whelp, it wasn't pretty but it still counts. At this point all wins are big wins, but going 3-0 on the road is huge for this team right now.

yup. total lack of emotion

Anaheim is trying to goon it up and I really wish anybody on our team would respond to it.

I f*cking hate Trevor Zegras and I hope someone crosschecks him in the teeth. The little crybaby pouty face he does when he’s begging for a call makes me want to puke.

Let me guess. You want me to source my own statement now.
