YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 I'll give you the last one, but what of the others. Detroit was amazing last year because they possessed the puck to a point that the other team would be frustrated by the time they got it. And if they did get it, rarely was it in front of the net, it was at the blue line and along the boards. Very very rarely did Detroit lose a game when they were able to play their game. This year they don't seem to be able to possess the puck even with NO pressure on them. And I don't know about "perfect" to compete, clearly they are in this game. However to win games consistently in the playoffs (and I mean win not merely compete), they will need to be sharper. As far as the competition, that competition is going to be more talented than the Blues and likely just as hungry. If Detroit plays this sort of game against half the teams they'll face in the playoffs, they'll be lucky to come back from being down 2-0 to begin with.

syntax 359 Report post Posted April 3, 2009 Flip also just made a HORRIBLE decision to hold onto the puck rather than go right to the net. PRETTY PASSES TO THE OUTSIDE AND KEEPING IT THERE WILL NOT SCORE GOALS. Agreed. I don't understand why we keep doing it when 90% of our opponents are blocking 90% of these outside shots.
