Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 I've never been a fan on blaming the refs on a loss. And I'm not about to become one tonight. Sure the calls could have fallen our way more, but the Wings had their chances and they did not convert. We just completely shut down midway through the second, and never got it back. San Jose took advantage of that, and they earned the win tonight. We definitely earned the loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlTheOctopus 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 First period = good Second period = decent Third period = dreadful Babcock's gonna rip some heads off in the locker room. Holmstrom's back on Wednesday. I hope he's in good enough shape to play. Let's go Wings!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Man, I thought the Wings would come out on fire tonight. Like it or not, theres an easy solution to not taking penalties - possessing the puck more often. 4 goals in 3 games is pathetic. beyond pathetic. Do they actually think they can win with 1 goal per game? Hasek did what he could to give them every chance, and they didn't show up in the third. Hopefully Homer being back in game 4 will do something for them. The Wings threw this game away, sorry to say, and I don't understand why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Im really disappointed, and my gut was wrong. It told me Wings in 5, and I was expecting a dominant performance after that comeback win. Cant blame the Sharks or the refs - they came to play. You can ***** about desire and all that crap all you want, but we dont need to bring up these excuses again. Wings got outplayed, plain and simple. Can they beat the Sharks? Yes. Can they win the series? Yes. Can we do it playing like this? Absolutely not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viperar 16 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 What an absolute pisspoor shutodown of performance except the first, i have no idea when the wings are going to learn that a hockey game lasts 60 f***in minutes...and no, im not claiming the series is over and im not panicking, im simply observing the complete shutdown of any heart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 You can't blame the refs for this one... you can't win a game by playing 20 mins... Total sloppy game play. Sorry, but the wings gave the game away, much like the sharks did last game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Refs let tons of crap go and called penalties at weird times...looked liek they just wanted to even up the opportunities for both sides. I don't get what the hell was up with the wings. I'd like, to see how many turnovers they had in their own zone. How are they dominating SJ then suddenly get dominated the entire 3rd period? That is ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 the wings did not play bad Apparently you didn't watch the 3rd period. I can't believe they're getting paid for s*** like that. Dear Wings, Full 60 minutes, no putzing around in our zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 I think we're all pretty much in agreement here. Night, kids... better luck (and some passion and will to win, maybe?) on Wednesday, or else it's gonna be a long flight home for certain people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firehawk 305 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 The wings played about 30 minutes of hockey tonight. Half way through the 2nd they started slowing down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sibiriak 84 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Don't diss the 'Tuzz people will call you names.. I once mentioned him as a liability after he a particularly s***ty game and I got chastised. While I don't think he played poorly enough to deserve to be called a liability, he certainly hasn't palyed up to expectations. He floats a lot, seems ineffective in front of the net, and takes unnecessary offensive zone penalties. If he keeps it up, Lang may lose his title.
