Fresh take (sarcasm) But welcome to LGWs (serious)

For those of you complaining about Datsyuk and Zetterberg starting OT. Remember, 3-on-3 is as much about possession as it is speed. Those guys are pretty good at keep away. But they had off nights. But so did most of the forwards except Helm and Sheahan and you're sure as s*** not going to start them in OT. I thought Helm had his best game in a year. I'm also mad at Pulkkinen for not doing the only thing he's supposed to be good at on that breakaway. Although he had Holtby beat. I also want to bitchslap the snot out of Tatar. It's games like this that make me want to trade his ass for Blake Wheeler.

I'll call this a win regardless. PP 5-1 for Washington? Absolute sham of a game.

LOL NOW they call too many men eh? Joke

I guess we've written off Sproul eh?

Babcock ruined this kid and Blashill's trying to put him back together.

I said it last time these two teams met: I'm not worried about OV breaking the record. In fact, he can score three goals fro all I care. I just want 2 points for the Wings. When the friggin Leafs are only three back? That's when you know that this team needs to create a bit of separation in the conference.

PUNCHES

No THIS is a bowled statement

AA needs to learn to finish though. And Larkin needs to score from normal areas. 3 of his 5 goals were from god awful angles and should never have gone in.

LOL The unstopable force and the unmovable object.

Mrazek will get a bridge deal like all the young Wings do. Remember when Zetterberg won the Conn Smythe and only made 2.5M? That was his bridge deal.

Fair enough. You keep s***ting on those guys and I'll keep s***ting on Smith. That way, there will be s*** everywhere. Evenly distributed s***. s***

*L* I don't try to look for mistakes by Smith. They come knocking in neon. And I've never really ever s*** on Ericsson.

You're a brave individual. An iconoclast. A pioneer. Be prepared to be mocked and ridiculed. I sort of agree with you though.

Green made at least 3 plays last night that Smith could never dream of. And he's more good than bad. DeKeyser gets the benefit of the doubt because he's good.

Come on!! That play has zero to do with lack of a punishing playing style and ALL to do with Glendenning doing the suck. Just terrible stuff from our supposed "shut-down" guy. Green had no chance to react. Howard had MORE of a chance because he had more time. But he's your boy right? Top Gun > Howard > Green. There's your critical path of finger pointing.

Neither of them can drag those knuckles quite like the Smith.

Happy with the win. Unhappy that those flaming dick-cheezos got a point.

1 year? That's too long a deal.

Yeah according to Khan, Howard will be starting. Let's hope he's "stopping" as well.

Lucky you. All the pain and lunacy you were spared.

You got suspended/banned, didn't you.

Yeah. I think the genral sentiment pre-season wasn't Blashill > Babcock as much as it was Fresh Voice > Old Stale Voice but some of us, or at least myself, seriously under-estimated the growing pains of a rookie NHL coach.

And some nights they do. Your hero didn't exactly have this team playing lights out since 2009 either. One 1st round playoff win in the last four tries?
