I think one of the reasons is that our players play tougher than they actually are.

So you're saying just because JJ is playing for Richards (after all it was GM decision to trade for JJ) he must choose him over those who he thinks would be better to team USA? It is not how it works.

And yeah after each and every loss we have someone to complain but not us. Jimmy sucked big time vs Nashville. He sucked today as well. But this clown will start next time anyway. Today it was Bernier who was a problem, Last game it was not-perfect-execution (in a game lost 4:6). Next game vs Dallas it will be that ******* Russian junior Nichushkin who will suddently get his gamee going. Or Benn just dominating.

so we have Abby and then what? Bertuzzi? Datsyuk? Zetterberg? Cleary? All of them are giving their best but cannot be compared with half of Toronto roster. Well, even ******* Raymond drives the net.. And in todays NHL more than 50% of goals are scored that way.

Both Toronto goals today were due to that last effort players are taking to score. We do not have players willing to do that and we lost.

Jimmy is the problem.

I'm so happy I was wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaa!

well, I do. In a game like this will matters way more than pseudo domination and shots from the perimeter. It was fun to see that most betting agencies were in favor of the Red Wings. Good for me.

I've seen so many games this year when we "controlled" the game the way we do today. It will be 1:3 with EN.

that is all for today. This team has no heart,

we cannot win with this goaltender. ozzy at his worst was way better

What a lineup again... Holmstrom - Yzerman - Shanahan (dominating first line with a bit of everything) Larionov- Fedorov - Kozlov (russian five.... well three but paired with Fetisov-Chelios) Maltby - Draper - McCarty (no one come close to the Gring Line) Cicarelli - Kocur - Brown (tough as nails) Lidstrom - Murphy (this is the best D pair I've seen alive except for Fetisov-Kasatonov... well, I'm Russian and biased) Fetisov - Chelios (skill and toughness) Rafalski- Coffee (I would have changed one of them to Howe) Osgood (excellent when it matters)

Are there two games? Which time? PS The second roster rocks! We would have won a Cup now with some of them in the lineup.

so you want us to resign Bertuzzi?

Nothing? Yeah, nothing.This is what we will hear. For Shanny to be sure he is no longer associted with Wings "by default".

So, basically, my fellow Swede Andersson is our first center. What can I say? Go Ander go! PS As long as we have Tatar and Nyquist we won't suck big time. God (Kenny) please give us Jurco!

Weber hurt? Excellent. This usually happens to douchebags one way or another, see Pronger...

Defense or offense? Kenny knows the answer. I think we are good now at O. In a couple of years we will be way better at D. We are going to get a cup in the next few (1-3) years.

I'm happy! What a progress. From the sole reason we are loosing to a guy who is steady day in and day out. Beleive me a couple of years from now Kindl will be as good as Ericsson now.

Still don't get why Danny boy isn't getting his chance in shootouts...

Jimmy does not have the ballls.... I like Gustafsson comments though. You have to defend youself because otherwise it could turn ugly for you. Holtby was EXTREMELY lucky considering what kind of punches he absorbed. Usually after beatings like this you end up in a hospital with some serious injuries.

Our fourth line does not have any chamistry anyway.

Posts like this remind me how old I am. I actually remember Shanny in his prime. He was everything you could ask from a player. He hit a lot, fought, had a good speed, nice dangles, good vision and in general was a player any opposing team was afraid in many different ways. There were so few guys like him since then and actually only Bert in his prime is comparable (perhaps, Getzlaf of 2008-2010, Neely as well but that was earlier). If Mantha could be half of a player Shanny was that would be a steal.

I never appreciated Alfredsson as a true hockey star. When I saw these first 14 games I easily understand why he was so beloved in Ottawa. He is an old version of Zetter with better shot. Excellent hockey IQ comparable with that of Dats.

yeah.... they'll remain like this for first two minutes of the first period and then again Zet-Dats-Alf, Zet-Franzen-Cleary, Cleary-Andersson-Miller, Miller-Glendening-Datsyuk and so on...
