11/20 GDT: Panthers 2 at Red Wings 1 (OT)

[Yellowknife Redwing 57]

An all too familar refrain: the Wings let a s***ty team hang around and they get burned

[MotorCityMadness 388]

wow f*** off...might be looking at a double digit deficit in points by the middle of next week if this s*** continues

[skyphoenix 153]

Way to lose to ******* Florida, guys. That overtime goal should have been an easy save.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

what a load of s***

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

Panthers were outshot 40-20. piss poor! no excuse for not getting at least 3 goals in this one. unbelievable!!

[ShanahanMan 473]

I guess its just the Hockey gods paying us back for the Vancouver game. That was a game we really didn't deserve to win.

[aflac9262 211]

I blame this loss on the Call Sam studios.

[ShanahanMan 473]

I'm hoping for a Howard start. Osgood has not been too stellar in these OT games....

[Guest zackmorris]

The better team just lost to the luckiest team in the NHL tonight.

Pathetic. Florida had no business even being in this. Let them have it, they'll probably throw a parade and raise a banner.

[thedisappearer 291]

Man, this place get pathetic after a loss.

[55fan 5,133]

All those chances and only a point.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

They needed to bury some of those first period chances. Very frustrating when the team can't seem to finish some nights.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Helm had eight shots.

[Doc Holiday 0]

I'm hoping for a Howard start. Osgood has not been too stellar in these OT games....

Maybe Detroit should score more than one goal. Against Florida. Against Florida's backup netminder.

[Sgt. Angry 23]

I know this is silly, but I'd really like to kick the s#$@ out of Mickey York for running his mouth at the end of the second about the Wings perfect record when leading the Panthers after leading after 40 min. Why do Detroit announcers feel like they have to pull this kind of crap. Too many Wings shooters waiting that extra split second tonight allowing the opponent to deflect an otherwise good shot.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Let's see, that's two crappy losses to crappy teams......I wonder if the "Still Think We Suck" thread is going to get any action?

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

now all of a sudden we look like we can't score ourselves out of a paper bag!

[hokike 1]

you have to score. Pretty simple. That was the case in dallas game too...do they ever learn?

It's not "trap neutral zone era" where team played for 2-1 wins...

Lidstrom/Rafalski on the ice for both goals against. That doesn't happen often. But Rafalski is playing the worst hockey imaginable.

And I know we had 9 and 7 goal games recently, but it's so apparant that we don't have much scoring depth. The Helm line was great but none of them have anything close to a scoring touch. Bertuzzi is lost out there, he looks like he forgot how to score. Holmstrom had a hot start but has cooled off and since that line doesn't get much offensive pressure he is not very effective. Zetterberg is awesome, but he can't have a hat-trick every night. I'm looking for Leino to step his game up another notch, even though he's been pretty good since he was moved up to that line.

Panthers had no business winning this game. But the Wings had no business only scoring 1 goal on all those chances.

[FinRedWing 172]

Was mindfly at the game?

I'm hoping for a Howard start. Osgood has not been too stellar in these OT games....

Am I reading that right? Howard over Osgood? Wings just need to find the back of the net more consistently, maybe scoring 2 or 3 goals would win us a few games.

Lame. Datsyuk's line is worthless with Bertuzzi out there negating offensive pressure by taking bad shots and holding onto the puck too long.

Honestly, I'd love Bertuzzi to get out of his slump but he can't do so at the expense of Datsyuk's production. It's like Babcock says about your best players being your best players.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Rafalski also assisted on Detroit's lone goal.

Holmstrom is more of a hinderance than Bertuzzi. Holmstrom did nothing tonight, absolutely nothing.

Amen. Unfortunately Detroit doesn't have much choice than to play Bert with Dats, with three top 9 forwards injured.
