This is the sound defence the Red Wings are about, good to see, that last PK was nothing short of brilliant. Keep it up! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a great period but i'll take it, obviously. Like i have been saying for years, Nabokov is overrated, he looks good because his team is good. We started slow but i see us getting it going the further it goes into the game. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should not be in a position against the Avs were the refs can have that big of an influence on the outcome, those missed calls should not have mattered, we should have dummy'd the avs.

What ever happened to playing hard every game because you love the sport? (smh)

Yes seriously, i've stood up for Osgood for most of the season because of the horrible defence but tonight he could have stopped at least 1 of the 3 goals. Even when he had a routine save he would juggle it. Yes seriously, bring up farm players that are chomping at the bit to make the roster. As for the top players not being the top players, right now its a lack of motivation, i do agree with you there, the leaders on the team need to call one another out. Whether its Babcock or the veteran players they need to be vocal in that locker room and address this faggotry.

Well i've seen nothing over the past 3 games to get me confident going into thursdays game against SJ, i love Osgood but he needs some time in the minors bring up Howard or Larsson. Helm, Downey, Abdelkader in on thursday, one of those 3 anyway for Kopecky. This team is very arrogant at the moment, maybe they are just bored. Maybe the only way they will play hard is if it is playoffs. Its like a heroin addict switching to marijuana, they just come off that high of winning the cup, new season back to regular season games that do not spark much in the boys in wanting to play. The regular season is just not amusing to them right now. For those who want to praise Raycroft tonight don't, we lost to ourselves even with the half-hearted effort. The missed chances with a wide open net would have given us an easy 5-2, 5-3 win. Raycroft made some ok saves but we ultimately made him look good. He will play Edmonton, Dallas, St. Louis or some other basement dwelling team and get lit up. If we put together 60 minutes against SJ we WILL win. If we play like we have all season, with the exception of maybe 3 games, its going to be a somber thursday. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!

NOW THATS ******* EFFORT PP!!!!!!!! GO WINGSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOSSA!!!! That man can turn it on and change a game with the flip of a switch.

True and our best 20 minutes has been the 3rd. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats more like it

Havent been paying much attention to GR but ya we need to change it up is what im ultimately trying to say. Not the only issue but it is an issue. and as i type WINGS SCORE!

JIMMY HOWARD, give him some games, the goaltending cannot get any worse at the moment.

Lol, i think it changed directions, lucky break for Raycroft and another bad one for us.

Raycroft, seriously?

2nd Period objective: Show you want to win and cut the deficit to 1goal

Jimmy Howard??? Why not try him out, gives Ozzie and Conklin some time to get their s*** together and we find out what Howard can offer us.

Amen, QFT

The versus commentators are not that bad tonight, could it be because the Red Wings are not the Red Wings tonight therefore having a calming effect on these "common taters." When the Wings are playing "Red Wings" hockey versus is quick to discredit anything they do well, well tonight there is nothing to discredit.

I think the Wings will comeback, i think they put up a solid 40 from here, Babcocks pimphand will prove to be strong in that locker room tonight. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Andrew Raycroft has been dynamite here." ^^^^ You will never hear this again. Only against us will something this seemingly impossible happen. Frustration! That about sums it up for me.

We r becoming notorious for making any goalie look good no matter how bad he is.

missed the start of the game, 2-0 avs is this a glitch? i think we will comeback though please put forth an effort tonight Wings

Yes hardly no changes but the one change was HUGE....... HOSSA!!!!!!!! Hossa > Any player on the Sharks

I thought this game was a gimme, i was actually expecting a blowout. This is what frustrates me about the Wings, you have a game that if you put forth an effort you WILL win. They tried to continue with the "20 minutes of Red Wings hockey is good enough" but Turco was on his game and that was the difference along with us not playing the other 40 minutes. I feel bad for Conklin this game should have been a shutout, i projected a 3-0 win. I know its one game, and i agree there is no reason to panic but why are we throwing away easy wins? and oh ya Dallas goal in this game: Tom Wandell 1 from (Landon Wilson) = CLOSE THREAD! P.S this is not panic i just expect a whole lot more when you are playing a joke of a team

Conkquerer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That blown 2-0 lead is forgotten, winning does cure all. HOSSA is a monster on that ice. Best part about this win is no Blackhawks trolls on LGW. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
