    Can't remember the last time we were this pathetic

    Exactly. People seem to forget how good this team was beginning to play before the injury bug hit. And that was without Datsyuk! Up front this roster is every bit as good as that 2008 team, if not better. The defense is the big difference, of course. But they are young and I am confident that they will just keep getting better to form a very solid blue line. It is really bad right now because the lines are changing almost on a per game basis, so that is gonna make it difficult to find goals. But hey, the kids are playing, and they are learning. It will make this team all the better for it when we get players back.

    Do people forget how awful this team was in February 2008 when the injury bug hit? And that is a roster that went on to win a cup. The overreacting by some in this thread is absolutely hilarious.

    Jurco Called Up

    This. It annoys me that people think having a tough guy around will prevent these things from happening in today's game. It won't. Not saying there is anything wrong with having some sandpaper in the lineup, it would be welcome. But it would not prevent the whole "guys taking a run at players" thing. Ridding the instigator rule sure would though.

    12/14 GDT : Penguins 4 at Red Wings 1

    You definitely need to wear glasses. Abby's head was the only thing contact was even made with

    It was 100% contact to the head. Under no circumstances is that hit clean.

    Okay then. Did it stop Neal from kneeing Marchand in the head?

    Because the Pens were so scared of them big bad bruins when Orpik took out Eriksson last week. These cheap shots aren't gonna stop by having a couple tough guys in the line up. The instigator rule made sure of that.

    HBO 24/7

    Well, Sportsnet is def not gonna have something on the air where f-bombs are being dropped regularly. They also have it rated PG-13. And it also doesn't come on until tomorrow on Sportsnet.

    We'll lose this one by 1 in a tight game where the Wings will play well, and half the people here will have a meltdown In all seriousness, excited for this game. These two teams tend to bring out the best in one another.

    Please elaborate on how any part of this game is Howard's fault?

    12/7 GDT: Panthers 2 at Red Wings 1

    But this team was also starting to really turn it around before losing Dekeyser, Hank and Helm. When those guys are back, this team will be fine. They are missing their 3 best centers, after all.

    This! and not to mention the second game on back to back nights in two different cities

    I don't get concerned. I love the Wings, and watch every game. I root through the good times and the bad. But to get concerned because 1 player on my favourite hockey team is having trouble adjusting? Life is too short to stress over something I have no control over. We all know what he is capable of. All players go through droughts. His confidence is just not there right now, and when he finally does break through, I'm confident he will break out. He isn;t exactly the first player to go into a scoring drought. And it isn't like he is out there costing the team games night in ad night out. As long as he is playing responsible hockey, than what's to worry about? Be patient. The points will come.

    I'm still not concerned, as I think he will come around. With pav and hank out, I do hope it is sooner rather than later. But the guy went from playing in Florida to being in detroit with HBO cameras all over the place. Every 24/7 that has aired so far seemed to have teams playing like s***. Cameras following them ever where is probably a big part of that for some players. Especially a guy who played his entire career in a place that doesn't give two hoots about hockey. He'll come around.
