maybe I'm a homer, but Ozzie looks sharp and I think that a 3rd period tie favors us. We need to get a couple of quality chances and capitalize on an error in their zone and we'll put this up 3-1.

I feel pretty good about our chances! Next goal wins it!!

GO WINGS!!!!!

What are the stats? How much ice time has the second line got because to me it seems as though they're rarely out there. Franzen and Flip aren't seeing much time which is wrong because they have been great up until now.

Why are Dats and Hank playing so much? Are they being double shifted? The only ones who deserve double shifting are Hudler and Sammy who have played with so much heart tonight. Helm is a warrior on the 4th line too, he is small but he absolutely gives it his all every time he steps onto the ice.

As for the defence, what the heck is wrong with them tonight? Lids, Kronwall, Stuart and especially Rafalaski have all made mistakes, some very costly. Lilja and Lebda haven't done anything wrong in fact I am very impressed with Lebda.

We're playing like rubbish, getting no quality scoring chances and not working hard enough. We're tied up thanks to Osgood who has been brilliant. But to win we must score and we don't look like scoring...

We can't get one decent shot on goal. All our shots are meaningless slapshots from 40 feet out, which have no chance of going in, with no screen out front.

We need to send more people to the net, because right now they're outplaying us.

The Pens are more aggressive than us, and are more willing to drive the net. That has to change.

QFMFT.

This has been a problem with the Wings all year. I can usually tell how the Wings are playing by looking at a shot chart. When we are getting 15 shots a period and the are all from above the dots or outside the circles I know we are playing their game (like s***). We lose more than half of these games.

On the other hand....I do like the fact that on the last kill we just started clearing the puck and making them chase it down. We get ourselves into a lot of trouble sometimes trying to soft pass transition the puck and turning it over deep. The Wings are so confident in their ability to move the puck that when the do screw up it usually really ugly. The PenIs are basically just about shotless even strength and when they do get any shots they are typicially in clusters of two or three during power plays. Since that is the only way they seem to be able to generate offense it would seem getting it as far from our net as quickly as possible would be best. Not EVERY PK is going to generate a shorthanded chance.

Get it going in the 4rd....its not too late to put these pukes on ice.

I'm @ work right now, & have been catching several minutes here, & there of the game - but I totally agree with your assessment; the Wings are not creating quality scoring chances, & the breakdowns in our own zone are resulting in opportunities for the Pens.

That last pk was solid; gotta work off that, & bust their asses to get solid chances on MAF whom hasn't been tested as much when compared to Ozzie (whom is playing great tonight).

LETS GO RED WINGS!!!

:scared:

What kind of monster is your boss to make you work on a night like this?
