12/26 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Predators 3

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Wow. We have an ALL STAR team of Powerplay forwards, a 6 on 4 for a minute and a half and a bunch of bobbled pucks and lackadaisical play.

[BlueMonk 102]

Zetterberg is playing like a shadow of his usual self, man. He couldn't make a single play getting the puck into the Nashville zone there. Even the mediocre Nashville defenders were stopping him no problem.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

another craptacular effort by the wings tonight.

Man I hate the Preds.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Not that I'm putting the loss on him or anything, but man, shocking game from Zetterberg.

[Guest Agalloch]

This team ******* SUCKS. Got thrown around all game and didn't do jack s*** on a 6 on 4 which should've been an EASY tie. What a ******* joke. If Zetterberg gets more than 6 million it'll be a ******* terrible contract.

[Guest Four]

Damn, Rafalski should have shot that.. What a loser.

[RWK23 0]

Oh, and Dan Ellis > God. He dominates everytime we play him.

[RedArmy 4]

and preds fans celebrate like they won a cup lol

[Datsyerberger 279]

Well, nevermind the lets go wings chant.. that last minute effort was stinky.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Well, that SUCKED. Rafalski, YOU BOMB IT WITH 10 GUYS IN FRONT OF THE NET.

Time for this team to get dirty, we've been doing it all season and getting wins, but when we get against the trap and the defence to offence teams like Nashville it wont work, and Nashville suck! Enough fancy shancy s***, get dirty. Shoot from anywhere with traffic in front. Please, tommorow night.

He and Hossa both.

[Guest E_S_A_D]

A game we deserved to lose.

Yes.

Wings are hard to watch this year at times. Very lifeless.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

I figured the Wings would come out flat. Considering they usually do and the fact that they flew in this morning to Nashville. Hopefully we will see a better effort tomorrow (and Lidstrom).

I feel like his whole line is trying to do too much individually.

Too many one on one moves and not enough passing plays.

Please be sarcasm, please be sarcasm, please be sarcasm....

ughm 3rd best record in the league, not to bad. I think you are overreacting...

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Except for a few brief moments, the Wings' top 2 lines (and of course the 4th line) were invinsible. That can't happen. Perhaps a bit too exhausted from all of the holiday fun.

[Rivalred 630]

Nashville played a good game tonight. Bad we came out on the short side.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Oh, and Dan Ellis > God. He dominates everytime we play him.

Dominates? He was barely tested tonight. Outside of stopping Datsyuk - which was a pretty weak shot by anyones standards - he didn't have much to do. In fact, if anything, he played pretty average and probably shouldnt have let that 2nd goal in.

The Wings offense was a joke tonight. Only guys who looked dangerous for more than a shift without getting immediately shut down were Cleary and Hudler.

[Doc Holiday 0]

Detroit didn't play as bad as they usually do when they lose.

They didn't f*** up as much in the defensive zone but our offense was pretty bad. Exact opposite of the problems in the beginning of the season.

I call bulls*** the 4th line was awesome! Checking, fighting, shooting, what more do want from the 4th line.

[Guest mindfly]

It will be fun to get dominated by the blackhawks in back-to-back games, especially in the winter classic game on national television.

Good. As long as other folks show up - which was not the case tonight - I'm fine With Hank ending the season below a PPG. No 8.5M for you, sir.

I thought he played well. Lots of perimeters shots, sure, but he still played alright. The second goal was a bad angle, but Sammy actually put a good stroke on it. I was mostly referring back to the first round last year anyway.

craptacular game by the wings. oh well, they can't win every night. all the things they did wrong, along with all the things they didn't do right tally up to craptacular. wake up boys.
