11/26 GDT: Canadiens 3 @ Red Wings 1

[ENuck 2]

Conklin with a bunch of huge saves, but the D does nothing to stop it from going in.

..You mean besides Lidstrom poking his stick top shelf glove side and probably getting a piece of the biscuit and changing the pucks course.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Wow. Robert Lang saves a goal by playing god defense on Datsyuk. Thats just...unfathomable.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

Why can't we ever score empty net goals the way other teams do?

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

waived off goal, not that it will help tonight. But nice they actually called it correctly.

When it does not matter they call it right, but when it does the call is usually wrong. lol that's the NHL.

[edicius 3,269]

I hate to bring it up, because he's still great and legendary and all of that, but Nick Lidstrom has been far from spectacular so far this season and that last goal just magnifies it. He's looks slow and he's been caught standing around quite a bit. I still think he's one of the best players in the league, but it does seem that his play has fallen off a bit this season.

I brought this up in another thread, but it bears repeating.

For the average NHL defenseman, Lids has been just fine.

For a six-time Norris trophy-winning defenseman, he's been, at times, god awful.

most of the Wings should not eat turkey tomorrow. It will make them cannibals.

Lidstrom got lucky. The fact he has to stick his in the net to stop a goal says a lot about what lead up to that play.

....and the Habs get cheered.

That's what we call a bad game. No other way to call it. It happens. they're still the Red Wings.

Happy Thanksgiving, Wings fans.

I'd agree if the rest of the team have been playing well, but they haven't.

Fact: Not one Red Wings player has been impressive this season.

[Guest Shoreline]

Well, game over. Wings showed some signs at the beginning and end, but overall this game they were dominated.

Time to regroup and focus on playing 60 minutes.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Helm deserves more of a roster spot then Kopeckey.

[miller76 463]

no effort = no points

[T-Ruff 47]

Montreal played perfect tonight, I'm not disappointed the Wings didn't win, should only make them play better

[Mors 201]

Explain to me again what business Kopecky has playing on this team, much less on the first line? I swear if Hossa wasn't living in this guy's house he'd be on a bus back to the AHL.

[CrossoverThrash 0]

we didnt need to win this one, and who cares Franzen with the goal of the year so far

[hankzet40 233]

Pretty dismal effort tonight with Mule's beauty and some of Conklin's work being the only obvious highlights.

[RedArmy 4]

detroit's only 3rd regulation loss so far this season. can't win them all. I hope they have enough energy for Friday's game...

[SDavis35 140]

Let's all get a good night's rest and walk away. Hab fans will be annoying me all year just like the Leaf fans *sigh*

Right.

In order for the Wings to be as successful as they were last season, they need Nick Lidstrom to be Nick Lidstrom. The defense has just been too shaky so far for him to be anything but on the top of his game. I'm certainly willing to give him a few off nights, but a quarter of the way into the season, he's been an average defenseman. I think Brad Stuart has been far better.

[ShanahanMan 473]

What??!? We have an amazing backup goaltender, Hossa is leading every category, Franzen is still on his streak......what are you talking about?

he made one mistake form what i could see tonight, but it was off of a horrible pinch by Rafalski.

WINGS couldnt play tonight cause all they could think about was FOOD.. lol gg wings happy TG people see you friday...

Okay, we'll take Lidstrom off your hands for Nycholat and a 4th round pick.

QFMFT,it's simple as that.
