10/24 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Avalanche 3

[dat's sick 1,002]

bleh.. this team does find ways to lose. and ways not to score goals.

[Electrophile 3,554]

I'm now infinitely pissed that the rain in NY postponed Game 6 of the ALCS because I could have watched that rather than this.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

No one is saying the Wings will not make the playoff. But this team will not go any far. Gotta be lucky if the Wings pass the first round. I hope now some optimists finally reconsider how terrible this team is now.

Umm....

This team isn't making the playoffs

Yeah, I think this season might end early. I hate being negative, but who's going to score our goals? PP after PP and nothing to show for it. Terrible defence which produces turnovers every game and average goaltending. This could be a painful season.

Return of the Dead Wings

idk i thought our pk is the best thing going for us this season and thats sad

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Ahh yes, the masterful empty net tactic. Love it!!

[ShanahanMan 473]

Care to re-phrase?

This current team, the one we've been watching since the start of the season, isn't making the playoffs. Mark my words.

Empty net goal.

Wings lose.

Plenty of blame to go around, but Howard misplaying the angle and allowing a 25 foot wrister for the GWG was pretty brutal.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when your most consistent goal scorers are Draper and Maltby, not Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Jimmy, good job, lad. You cannot win with an offense which only bothers to find you one goal.

x2, he looked great I think.

[Yzerman191 37]

Unbelievable. They're handed a powerplay in the last three minutes and they play like that? Guys standing around, half-heartedly attempting to take it in the zone, letting them clear it over and over, etc.

It puzzles me how this team seems not to care about winning sometimes.

I'm tempted to agree. Abdelkader and a 2nd for Frolov.

[brett 1,029]

well howard played good..wasnt his fault..wings wake up!

[Stiffy 0]

This is hard to watch, but we must. It's our team. If some want to curse everything, I can understand. If some want to put their head in the sand, I can understand that too.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

You're shocked?

Only that I keep coming back to these threads and wading through the histrionics.

I should know better by now.

The good news is if the Wings don't lead the league this season, a fair amount of those folks will go away.

unless your goalie throws a shut out every single game, one goal will not win very many games. This one is not on Howard. Sorry.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Umm....

Yes it's very early but seriously, where are the goals coming from? Need goals to win, and we can't score any.

[Z and D for the C 712]

I don't think it's a problem with caring, I think it's a problem with ability.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Fuking typical. Gonna be a different season, hopefully they come back better on tuesday.

[Guest DetroitBoy313]

I said before this road trip started that I didn't think they were going to win one game.And I still stand by that.We're not the all mighty Wings anymore and we just gotta get used to it.

[Carman 387]

Not Howard's fault, he had an average game though. Team just isn't that good, I'm starting to get apathetic now. The Wing's don't have an offense at the moment, the defense is average, goaltending is average and can't steal a game... They are what they are, hopefully we can get some good young talent through some trades.

[jollymania 162]

f*** ANderson is a good goalie

[Stiffy 0]

Avs are the real deal. Not the best team for us to play to get back on our feet. There are quite a few more.

[brett 1,029]

i think they just need to start playing dirty and just goon that s*** in the back of the net doesnt have to be pretty

I wasn't talking to you.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

The only silver lining is Jimmy looked good tonight. A little out of position on that second one, but it was pretty much a seeing-eye goal.
