You know what guys.........I started having a bad feeling about our team 1st period of our first game against Toronto.......seriously.

Who was that that left Pavelski wide open?

Wow....Sharks looks great.

Lets doubleteam a letter!

Way to kill a 4 on 2 Lebda!

Twas sarcasm......

Freakin refs

WINGS RULEZ!

VERY solid period.......so far.

Hossa! Like I said....I do love our offense!

I'll do that, and you can start a "Heads in the sand" club. And mindly comes and goes and only has negative to say. I praise this team for its attributes when deserved, such as its killer offense and, well, amazing backup goaltending. But I'm not gonna praise where praise isn't deserved.

good post.

Wait....so you're criticizing me for.....praising Conklin? Dude, lay off.

And I sincerely hope we do. I'm getting sick of (most of) this board laying into me cause I'm not closing my eyes and saying "Wings Rulez!!"

It is a miracle from God (Conklin) himself that this game isn't a runaway.

Why? Because I'm realistic? I love my team, but AT THIS POINT we just don't defensively look like a Stanley Cup team. Big difference between pipe dream and realism..... Things could change though..

Oh come on! It's only 10 games into the season, its a hangover, we need to adjust a little, no time to panic, blah blah blah, yada yada yada [End Sarcasm] No, actually I agree.

my god, aside from Conklin, we look absolutely positively TERRRRRIBLE.

No, just shows that last night's guys are douches and tonight's guys are either idiots or haven't seen Drapes since his time in Winnipeg.

They're better cause they like Draper? I see........ Way too early to tell how Drapes will end up fairing this season.

I think Drake needs to come out of retirement....quick.

Freakin refs! That shoulda been a penalty! oh wait.....

4th line + Lebda = uselesssssssss

Ride on Jacqui! Instant celebrity!!! Sorry I couldn't join you guys, evening college classes blow. I lost my phone last week and actually just got your texts yesterday. SORRRRRRRY!

I know the refs tend to suck around the league, and I know these 5 on 3's are excruciating....but once again, you can't blame them for the calls against us this game.....no matter how frustrating it is and how it seems like "they're all out to get us!" The first 5-3 resulted from Lilja elbowing (called a rough but legit) and Hank throwing the puck over the glass. How can you argue with these calls? If the situation was reversed, I can almost guarantee you wouldn't be as mad. The second 5 on 3 resulted from the ONE hook in the game by Datsyuk......but it was a legit hook that resulted from one of the COUNTLESS defensive breakdowns the Wings had tonight.....and the obvious high stick by Kronwall. I agree, the refs around the league need to go back to school or tape their eye lids open or something..........but this game does not stand out in particular as anything that was called one way or unfair.
