Maybe we can trade him. 2nd + Post for Shattenkirk ?

That point is more than I expected. Overall a great game by Wings against the best team of league at the moment. Nothing to be disappointed about tonight.

Montreal has Price, we have Post !

f*** Emlin.

Only ? 23% is pretty good. And Price doing Price things of course. What a save. Nice pass by Mantha though.

Abby, what a laser beam !

Not sure if I want to see Coreau starting a game just yet. Our defense relies on strong goaltending, if we don't get that out of him it might get ugly.

Agreed, especially after the hit on Bert.

Abby ! Great hit !

That hurts. Hope its nothing serious with Smith.

Good period, but the defense has to step up a bit. And we need more SOG if we want to beat Price. But overall not bad. Let's not forget it's Montreal we are playing here.

Thats exactly the Mrazek we need tonight.

I agree with most of what you said kliq except this. We now pay our old guard way too much money. Zetterberg, Kronnwall, Ercisson all regressed as you pointed out but are still payed and will be payed elite/1st-line worth of money. In others words: It's also the long contracts Holland gave them that hamper us in a big way now. I know, most of them were made before the last lockout but other teams had this problem as well and found ways to mitigate it. And then maybe our drafting, but which just might have been bad luck. So there is this little thing where Holland actually is to blame. With the rest you are spot on. That said the current situation is a mess. Playoffs are probably gone, but this team is better than their losing streak. We have seen what they are capable of early in the season. Right now they look like they lack confidence. Too much passing, not enough shooting is an indicator for that. So blowing this team up or intentional tanking is not the right answer. It's probably best to let the kids play. We will miss the playoffs but we will also get better prepared for next season.

Vanek is back. That should help. 4:1 Wings.

Are we watching the same game Frank ? It's one of the top contenders the Wings are playing here and they are looking all but boring so far.

Kind of. But the Wings played good so far, the 5min PK wasn't helping us. And our PP sucked.

Too pretty ? That's a first. No actually it's "you" too. To make an already complicated language even more complicated we have two words for it. We use "Sie" as a formal "you". "Du" is reserved for friends, family and usually colleagues. It's a little bit more complicated than that, but that's roughly how it works. And don't stop trying. You have to endure my english, too.

jimmy, promise me one thing: Never use the google translater again. And for you it's "Du" not "Sie".

True, but Tats hesitated a second too long. He should have shot that right when he got possession.

Nice to hear from jimmy. Not good, I thought the update would even improve the mobile experience. Maybe Matt can help ?!

Caps are a contender for a reason, a good effort is all I want from the Wings tonight. LGRW !

Pumped for this. GO Wings !!!!!

Nice. How did Little Bert look ?

This. Might be just be getting him more tradable but I don't see why at least for the Wings. He already was enough before. Time to look for a different player or getting back to him in two years.

Add Smith + DeKeyser. Both are playing and both playing decent hockey. Not 1st pair quality, but still good enough to make our D better. And I think we all agree that Sproul should play instead of Ericsson. That are 4 out of 6 players who are homegrown. 5 out of 8 if you count all defenseman that are called up. Again, defense is not our problem with the exception that we lack a No. 1 defender.
