TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Don't you all think it's about time to give up on this whole notion that certain players will simply get magically better in the play-offs? Holland has to make some moves. Trade away Kopetsky, Flipulla would be a good start. Kronwall looks brutal. Flipulla and Kronwall to Toronto for Kaberle!! Get it done Kenny! Conklin looked OK today though. Not great though. Leino and Abby should stay in the line up. Move the complete dead weight in Flipulla and Kopetsky. Two very, very completely and utterly useless players. Edited January 31, 2009 by TheOwl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 That was embarrasing. We have too many frickin primadonnas that wont shoot the puck, until they learn to SHOOT WHEN YOUR DOWN BY 2 GOALS ON AN EXTENDED 5 ON 3, we wont win the Cup, it wont happen. So, who's on Monday? I know it's Phoenix on Weds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commadore183 103 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Capitols win it 4-2. Wings are now in a five-game losing streak. Wings defense was just pathetic out there at times during the game, and it cost them, as well as not converting on the 6-3 PP/extra attacker situation at the end there.

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Depleted lineup, let's not get excited folks! esteef Theres still a ton of offensive talent on that lineup. Two of the top offensive Dmen in the game, and 3 25+ goal scorers, plus Hudler, and still nothings coming? Without Hank and Homer, we have a better forward lineup than half the teams in this league. Thats not a vaild excuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 You know your in a slump when you lose to Jose Theodore, LOL pathetic. Anyone still want to blame Osgood, ya stfu. This team is sad right now. Wow. Way to bring up something that wasn't even mentioned in the thread. You can go take Osgood and make your own team. I still wants Conks in net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 At least we have St Louis coming up. That's the real test of whether or not we are in a slump. If we can't beat them, it's a slump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adtthosa 5 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Some defensive breakdowns cost us this one. Can't blame Conklin, he played well although he'd probably like the third goal back. Abdelkader (Man, it's gonna take me awhile to get that name down) and Leino looked really good tonight. It was nice to see someone in the lineup who actually threw some hits. I can't wait till some of these young guys are playing regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savaking72 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 6 on 3, and they can't even score. How many power plays did we have, and only score once. This team has some real issues they need to settle. Conklin was awesome, but how come we can't find the back of the net. I hope Babcock has some answers before the next game, or we'll go down 6 games in a row. Was really impressed with Leino though.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 The Blues. How ironic. That's good news, and haha Downs should be in against St Louis, make it a little fun, and maybe we get a win Monday, not like St Louis is very impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 I missed the whole game. Yay! Sounds like they missed Hank and Homer today. And it's a shame Leino's first goal was in a loss, but he'll take it, anyway. On to the Blues. Surely we can beat them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 So disappointed right now. It really looks like they just don't care. Zero intensity. And its seriously been this way since game 1 versus Toronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Ozzy sucks, it's a forgone conclusion. One stat that really spoke to me was blocked shots in the first 2 periods, something like 3 Detroit, 18 Washington. The Wings rarely block a shot, and bringing in some younger guys who can take those shots, would be a good idea. BLOCK MORE SHOTS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Kronwall looks brutal. Flipulla and Kronwall to Toronto for Kaberle!! Get it done Kenny! That would make great sense to help out or defensive problems...trade for quite possibly one of the worst defensive denfencemen on the face of the earth !!

Zetterberg_is_god 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Depleted lineup, let's not get excited folks! esteef Depleted lineup or not, that was just painful to watch....The worst teams in the league could register a damn shot on a 6 on 3. I do however realize that Homer could have come in handy there, but with all the talent we have on the team we should still be able to win a few without Z and Homer. Besides our callups looked GREAT!
