10/16 GDT: Canucks 4, Red Wings 3 (OT)

[ShanahanMan 473]

bring up Leino, send down Hudler.

Done and done

And where's this "Hossa" I kept hearing about?

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Please.

Two lucky bounces off the boards right to a ready player and one epic f***-up by not one but 4 Red Wings skaters. Osgood played at Luongo's level tonight, and with the exception of 2 or 3 of the rest of the Wings, they all played inconsistently at best.

[hankzet40 233]

Another fairly sloppy effort with the second period being the only bright spot. Saturday will hopefully be better.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Seconded.

BTW, who's in your avatar? She's a cutie.

The one and only Kiira Korpi. Amazing.

I'm really disappointed with the Wings tonight, very disappointed in fact. After such a great second period I thought we had turned the corner and would be on our way. Instead we come out flat in the third and give up the OT winner after half a minute. Defence having far too many lapses, offence not clicking with poor passing and too many shots being given up. And it's a travesty that Darren Helm only played 7 minutes when he was one of the few players who had energy.

And lastly, Marian Hossa was absolutely atrocious. Worst player on the ice for mine, mainly for complete lack of effort.

He play great at times but spoiled it by also being leaky.

Hudler is the far down on the list of problems at this point.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Haha @ "joe the plumber" ref.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Its a start....

just think if Stuart has a long time injury.....

[The Mule 0]

Nothing against Ozzie (he was both good and bad tonight), but I hope Conklin gets a few more starts soon.

[dallas27 7]

For whatever reason they just aren't as aggressive at home as they are on the road. Maybe they take it for granted they are going to win at home, that's the only logical explanation I can muster up.

Anyway you look at it, the Wings just flat out didn't deserve to win this game.

Spoiled Red Wings fans powers... ACTIVATE!

Shape of: Keyboard!

Form of: Compulsive complainer!

Complaining about complaining? *sigh*

[Z and D for the C 712]

I like Hossa's hair.

[Guest Crymson]

Complaining about complaining? *sigh*

I thought it was clever.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

It looks like Hossa's just squeezing the stick a little too hard.

"Anyone can play with anyone on this team, we just have to play 60 minutes."

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Complaining about complaining? *sigh*

Its Crymsons specialty...

[Yzermania 156]

Well babs didn't seem happy on the bench tonight with the team's effort so I'm expecting to see some line changes for the next game...IF hank is back, I predict...

ZDH

Hossa-Flip-Mule

Sammy-Cleary-Huds

Drapes-Maltby-kopecky

I hope Z is back, because we need the euro twins back together.

[DatsyukownzU13 1]

Please. Osgood was a lone bright spot in this game.

The last goal was ugly.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

I didn't like two goals that Ozzie let in. The second and the one in OT, but other than that I thought he was sharp and that the D kinda left him out to dry a bit.

At least we got a point. Wings will get it together soon.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Babs said that nobody has said that Stuart's injury is serious, good news

[The Mule 0]

With forwards like Filppula, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Draper and so on being defensively responsible, what exactly does Maltby contribute to this team? Not only did he look terrible on a partial breakaway tonight, but come on, I can't remember the last time he had a positive effect on this team's play.

I don't hate Maltby or anything, but he's almost useless.

[DatsyukownzU13 1]

Helm is consistently one of the top players when he is in the lineup. Someone has to go. It really should be Kopecky, he really brings very little on a consistent basis.

Edit: or Maltby, just doubt that would happen.

Bottom Line = we lost to a bunch of noobs, the Sedin's were horrible and gave us chances to score more goals but we looked at about 8% of our potential. Mason Raymond Alex Burrows, seriously? You let these bums take the game.

Good thing we have a coach like Babcock because he doesn't take this garbage play lightly.

Where were the defense?

f*** you would think they could figure out how to work this obstruciton I heard Therrien whining about last playoffs.

[dallas27 7]

Where were the defense?

Osgood was NOT ready for that shot. He was absolutely lackadaisical. No reason why a shot from that angle should go in the net. If he's ready all he has to do is stand there. The puck was in the net before he even reacted.

[Doc Holiday 0]

Games like these make me hate being a Red Wing fan sometimes. It seems like if there is anything short of perfection I blow a gasket and watching losses like these just make me want to punch infants in rapid succession.

At the end of the day I am proud to be a Wings fan but s*** guys act like cup champs for once in the season.

Dallas: I didn't see the replay after but it looked like it bounced right to him which he didn't expect. That game was one of funny ******* bounces.
