10/30 GDT: Red Wings 2 @ Sharks 4

Recommended Posts

Second period thoughts:

- I mean, have we just abdandoned playing defense? Terrible net front coverage is directly to blame for all three San Jose goals. It's a mystery to me, especially with guys like Brian Rafalski just leaving guys wide open. He looked especially silly on the Sharks first goal.

- Speaking of defensemen, Brad Stuart has been our best by far. He's been very consistent, he's always in position and he hasn't been afraid to get physical. When other guys are looking sub-par, he's really stepped it up. So much of what he does goes unnoticed, very similar to Lidstrom, but his impact can't be denied.

- Where is this team right now without Marian Hossa? He's largely the reason our record looks so good despite not playing very well. He started out very shaky, but he's been unbelievable since he scored his first goal. He's going to need to keep it up, especially in the absence of Franzen.

- For as much criticism as his line has accumulated, Kris Draper has been incredibly feisty in these last couple of games. He's adapted his style of play a bit, and while he does often look old and lethargic, I still think he brings a much-needed dynamic to the team.

- Would it be illegal to just have Andreas Lilja stand in front of the net all game and act as a second goalie? I swear he blocks more shots in the crease than any player in history. He's more useful that way. Literally just have him stand next to the goalie all game.

- The game is much more fun to watch when there isn't a penalty being called every two minutes. Thank you, officials. However, I think we're going to need a couple of power plays if we want to get back in this one. Our even-strength play isn't cutting it. I can't remember the last time we were out-shot like this. However, with the way things have been going this season, the Wings will probably win this game 6-5 in a shoot-out.

100% agreed on Stewie and Lilja.

Haha yeah, he told me about the chant for when the other team gets a penalty.

We've got some good ones too. I'd say we are one of the better student sections in the CCHA.

It was funny the one game I went to at Lawson...you guys do some chant when the opposing team goes in the penalty box and somebody actually says that player's name. It was pretty cool.

You might wanna read through some of my posts on this board before saying that I'm "following everyone". I probably am one of the smarter hockey people around you'll ever meet considering I've played it for almost 20 years at a very competitive level. Now, considering before now I have NEVER said one bad word about Sammy, my point was that getting rid of his contract would help in resigning Hossa next year. Maybe I shouldn't have added him to my list.

I do stick by everyone else. Kopy, McCarty, Lebda. I'd have zero problem seeing all 3 of them go to bring up Helm, Leino & Ericcsson

I 100% agree, I can't believe I used to stick up for Lebda..he has been terrible.

Can we atleast organize McCarty going down to the minors and Downey coming up?.. Its not a huge improvement but if the team wants to carry a fighter can they atleast carry the one who can fight and actually can still play at a high level and grind?

Some of these people on here are rediculous. so the team parties all summer, and comes back with a 7-1-2 start. Damn, better trade off everyone and start the rebuilding process there is always next year.

Yea I did too. I always had high hopes for Lebs. Being a homegrown (U.S.A.) product, I wanted him to excel. If there's one thing I would love for the Red Wings it's that I'd love to see them get some more Americans on their teams. I'm not saying revamp the whole thing but it's just like Abdelkader. I'm praying that he excels cause I wanna see some American boys on this squad to play a huge role. I think it would be great for the actual popularity of the team in Michigan.

I guess me and D-Mac will have something in common tonight because if we don't turn it around in the 3rd I might have to get involved in a late night bender !! :drunk: I am not disagreeing about what you said about their ability to play hockey, I just think wishing a career ending injury on anyone is a little much.

Haha, that was it!! I went there to visit a friend and he was going to sit in your student section and he was like I don't think you want to sit here (I think my maize and blue shirt was the issue)...so I ended up sitting on the other side of the arena, but some of the cheers that I could make out were really great.

BTW, I think that fsn should forfeit doing period recaps when we played like s*** during it. None of us want to relive that.
