Rivalred 630 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Wings play solid hockey for minutes at a time and then play like a house team. Mind boggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 And yet our offense is playing so damn well. Yet no goals and a lot of turnovers. I'm not sure I can really fathom what's happening here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 I feel bad for this guy - "Tomorrow I will be attending my first ever Red Wings game! I am extremely excited and I have been looking forward to this day for months. Never did I expect it was going to be such a good game when I looked at the schedule at the beginning of the year." -DyingAlive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 The defense is just playing really, really bad. I don't know where it comes from. It's all the same guys that were playing lights out hockey six months ago. But they gotta figure something out. This won't cut it forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Well, I can take one positive from this...it's looking like my weekend pick for this game is correct. Did you pick it before or after the game started, because otherwise..... Edited November 30, 2008 by Rivalred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 No use straightening out the defense tonight, I agree with someone who posted above me. Now it's time to go all offense and obliterate them and figure out the defense later (i.e. change the system). Yup. That sounds about it. Ozzie only got 16 shots last night. Hes not too tired. Give him the opportunity to prove himself and maybe we can win this thing 5-4 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I really don't see this team turning a 0-3 game around right now.. even when we dominate puck possession, we barely get any quality chances. It's just grinding in the corners and half-hearted shoting attempts with 7 players in the shooting lane. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think it's going to happen.

thedatsyukian 7 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 We may not be giving up a ton of chances, but we are giving up the BIG chances. It's just lapses in judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all the same guys that were playing lights out hockey six months ago. But they gotta figure something out. This won't cut it forever. That's what's so hard to figure out. These guys aren't old, except for Raffy and Lids, but they didn't age that much in 6 months. They're highly skilled and disciplined. No changes to defense from last year and yet no one is playing well. Illogical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Agreed. This game vs. Boston and the game last month against San Jose are examples of what happen when we play a legitimately good all-around team. Something is seriously wrong with this team and it's been said that all will work itself out for the last 20 games. That doesn't appear to be the case. Wings look slower than Boston. Not sure it is actual skating speed or just hard work by Boston but Wings are often late to the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Good God, can we please get a second chance on these shots? One shot, then turnover isn't going to win you games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Apparently no one on the point can keep the puck in at the blue line anymore, sans Lidstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
