there goes our 82-0 hopes....

seriously though, very disappointing game. I know one loss doesnt mean much but its obvious that living in the limelight had a some inpact on the wings, as i havent seen them with such an awful performance in quite some time. Hopefully Ottawa will work out better for us.....

Yes it's disappointing, a very poor way to start the season, but in the long run who cares? We'll beat Ottawa on Saturday and then everyone would've already put this game behind them. So while it's disappointing right now, people need to relax and realise it's just one game and we'll be playing our best in no time.

And let's not forget we have a lot of new lines with players playing together for the first time, it might take a little while for the group to settle and get comfortable.

But we were supposed to win 82 games... :crybaby:

The best thing for the Wings right now is for them to get on the road. Tonight was all fun and games and stuff with the celebrations, but the real season has started. They've been home for too long. Once they get on the road, the team will start to settle in. Tough less, but let's move forward.

I wouldn't mind seeing Datsyuk and Zetterberg playing on the same line though...

For all intents and purposes, this looked like a pre-season game tonight. Everyones unsure of their linemates, unsure of whos gonna be where, but there were some brights spots for the top 2 lines tonight. Should only get better. Can't wait to see what happens when Hossa and Dats start to click more.

We hit the post and the cross bar in the first period before Toronto's PP Goal. If one of those went in, the game would have been different.

It's tough to analyze the first game. The Wings looked sloppy, but it was due to the fact we were behind and needed to take chances. Plus Toskala I thought played very well and it just wasn't our night. No worries here, 1 down, 81 to go.

Bad game, sucks to be me right now. I wore my Wings jersey to school today so I'll be hearing it now. Everyone was off tonight, hoping for better on Saturday.

Just tell them they can have the wins in October, we'll take them in May and June.

Anyone who thinks this one game determines what will happen for the season and playoffs is an idiot. Win or lose, I was just glad to see hockey again, Red Wings hockey. A few observations. One player who caught my eye was Flip. I like the way he is playing. Hossa is fast and quite a force out there. Just give them all a few games to get it back together and things will be fine. We have a great team, so stop the whining or go move to Columbus and then we'll see how much you can whine.

Seriously, anyone who gets all depressed about this one sloppy little game is a whiny *****. Get some balls would you? For damn sake, we raised the banner tonight. Does that mean anything? Who cares about one stupid game?
