Islanders speedy forecheck leading to Wings turnovers and bad passes. Not doing great on face-offs either, which is unusual for the Wings.

Seriously Wings, hit somebody. If they're going to be first to every puck, put them through the glass.

Z's shot was just off the outside of the post. Man.

Ericsson jumping into the play. good to see them changing something up to try and get shots on net.

Shoot that puck Z. god.

Wings need to deck somebody. Even if it takes them out of position. The Isles are getting to every loose puck. Make them pay for it.

Are the goalposts made of wood? Weird sound.

Man is this team completely out of sync tonight. Feel free to re-read my posts. I take issue with none of what you're saying here. As for the initial point I was making: You: Jimmy no save! Me:

I'll try to use as few words as possible so you don't go off course. You said Jimmy wouldn't make that save. No way we could know that.

If that replay was the penalty, it was pretty soft but I'll take it. He'd been a healthy scratch for multiple games and wasn't happy about it.

No, you're misrepresenting what I've said to try and justify your baseless claim. You weren't comparing goalies, you were stating definitively that Howard wouldn't have made that save. You have no idea what Howard would've done. Maybe he would've tripped on his stick, fallen on his butt and the puck hits him in the back of the head. Who knows? I have zero problem comparing goalies. I'm talking about you specifically stating that Howard would not have made that save. No one in this universe has any idea what would've happened if Howard had been in net there. I'm not sure how I can make this any simpler.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but does a shot from the point by the Wings ever get on net? Or even deep?

The Islanders speedy forecheck has the Wings all our of sorts.

Yes bashing. When you say a goalie wouldn't have made a save, and he's not even in the game. It's a baseless comment. Like I said, I have no problem criticizing Jimmy for his actual play. But there's no way we could know what Jimmy would've done there. He's let in bad goals, but he's also come up huge. I just don't' understand criticizing him for something that he wasn't even involved in.

Not sure. I wouldn't fault E for that one. He made a quick pass but it was on Sheahan's stick. Riley just took that extra second you don't really have when you're coming up the middle. A sign of inexperience.

meh. It was off a bad turnover by Sheahan. Frustrating, but I wouldn't call it flukey or anything.

You were bashing Jimmy for not making a save when he was in the locker room. Mrazek made a save and you said Jimmy wouldn't make it. I have no problem criticizing Jimmy for his actual play, but now you're criticizing him for saves he wouldn't make while he's not even in the game?

Goal Islanders.

someone "accidentally" run into the net for chrissakes

Man I hate Clutterbuck. I don't even have a great reason. Just hate him.

It makes such a huge difference when the Wings defense can get a shot on or even near the net from the point. Zetterberg almost got another one there.

He's a downgrade if only for having to spell his name.

"lower body injury." A precautionary measure apparently.

That's impossible to know. I get that you're not big on Jimmy right now, but it's not like he never comes up with huge saves.

How is Smith's broken stick still out there? Wasn't there a stoppage in play already?
