    No need to panic

    Who are these 3 players of all star caliber that we're missing?

    No need to panic

    And Dan Cleary will be on the powerplay for at least 15 of those games.

    No need to panic

    So making the playoffs is our only goal now? People are panicking because of the long-term uncertainty of this team, and the lack of tradeable assets we have. No one is saying we can't make the playoffs, it's just that no one cares. If you have Hockeytown imprinted at center ice, you should have higher goals than just making the playoffs. We made the playoffs last year and barely won a game. Who was satisfied with that? People are still upset with Holland for doing nothing decent the last few deadlines and offseasons, and won't let it go. Now, I realize Wings fans have high expectations and are stubborn, but that's a good thing and what great franchises should be about. This is the best US based franchise in hockey history, and fans don't want it to go back into the toilet again. Fans are looking for something in the future which suggests being a frequent Cup contender. You have to remember most Wings fans on this site (myself included) have never seen this team not be one of the main contenders. And before anyone mentions last year's Kings, or the 2006 Oilers, 2004 Flames, etc., we don't have the kind of roster that can make a playoff run as a 7 or 8 seed. You need to have a good defense and a hot goalie to do that. Or be a tough team to play against who outworks opponents every game. We're none of those things.

    I'd say they were both as good. Sometimes, scoring in the heat of the moment is easier than having to think about a penalty shot in such a pressure packed moment. And they were both breakaways too. By the time he got set, he had time and space to make any kind of move he wanted.

    Management is the problem at this point. Who do you think assembled this team? Babcock?

    You mean the same lineup that got beat in 5 games last year in round 1, minus Lidstrom and Stuart? Yeah, can't wait till we have that lineup back. Keep your leg.

    Maybe in the European leagues. I can't remember in the NHL seeing the refs let a player get that good a chance, and still reward him a penalty shot, if he didn't score on the original one.

    Holland doesn't like changes anymore. Did nothing good during the deadline last year and during the offseason, even though there were signs of trouble and he knew Lidstrom and Stuart were likely to leave.

    Depends on what "more" reasonable is defined as, I guess. I know he got a good chance off regardless, after he broke free from the trip.

    Perfect ending. 6 on 5, and they outwork us to every loose puck.

    Pretty much what I thought. They're not going to let Tatar get off that good a chance and give him a PS. It'd be like a double try or something.

    Samuelsson and Quincey taking turns shooting the puck 10 feet wide. Freaking clowns.

    2/17 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Wild 3

    I think it's because he got a legitimate scoring chance off.

    That should be a red card.............oh wait, nevermind.

    This team can't even fool us into thinking they'll score a goal.

    Expiate.

    Anyone else getting pissed that the Wings can't hold leads

    On the bright side, we're getting off to leads.......

    Mommy? What were you doing before you joined this thread?

    Quincey hasn't scored a point all season, and for his price tag and that first round pick, that's pathetic. Can't believe people are defending him because of plus/minus.

    Yeah, Cleary's play has made me lose faith that Tampa would be interested in having him in a package in the Stamkos trade.

    You're back from suspension?

    The powerplay is our enforcer Kenny.

    I just realized something. We're not very good.
