1/12 GDT: Red Wings 0 at Islanders 6

[Guest scottj]

osgood in

[russianswede919293 95]

And Ozzie here is your chance...come back and win this game and you get a chance to roll with it

[commadore183 103]

Howard's done. Ozzie's coming. Hope this sparks something from the ******* team.

[VM1138 1,921]

Beat the Sharks on the road, proceed to get ass kicked by Isles. OK then.

This is pretty standard this season.

The bad thing about pulling Howard is that having Ozzie in isn't going to help. Ozzie can't score goals (well, he can but it shouldn't be counted on. )

[CenterIce 83]

The Wings don't like to be rushed. Isles are fore-checking them tough. Ozzie in, now.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

hahaha, and everyone here is convinced injuries are our problem.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Our problem are those has-been's wearing numbers 13 and 40, who are averaging less than a point per game this season. The homers on this site need to call these players out instead of babying them all the time.

Also, Babcock has done a poor job motivating this team game to game. He may look like a fierce and angry coach, but these players seem to be oblivious to him this season.

Osgood's delay getting on the ice is embarassing. This team is an inconsistent joke right now.

[stormboy 47]

don't feel great about ozzie coming in right now...although this came can't be going much worse, so, whatev.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

We're getting embarassed by the Islanders.. great save by Cleary there, at least someone can do it.

[datterberg1340 626]

damn this is a terrible waste of a chance to jump LA, and I know the Isles have been hot lately, but we don't even look like we're trying out there; hope we see an improved effort on Thu b/c if we can't beat the Canes either, then we've got a lot more serious of a problem than all the injuries this year

[jollymania 162]

cmon stuart...

[RedWingsRox 614]

I don't even want to watch so don't post any link to livestream.

J Howard probably dropped 5 spots with tonight's stats.

[ShanahanMan 473]

2 mins in and Ozzie already looks like s***

[hankzet40 233]

This is pretty standard this season.

Yep. I was just talking with my friend about the complete lack of logic with this team.

How do you go from being great to bad in 1 year? Sure the homers are bias, but so are trolls like you.

[VM1138 1,921]

If only we played really good teams for the rest of the seasno, maybe then we'd have a chance to catch up and make playoffs. Who wants to bet if the Wings lose tonight all the teams in the hunt around us win?

[Rick Zombos Ghost 82]

best passing ever

[ShanahanMan 473]

I can guarantee you guys that we'll still be having these kind of games once Franzen, Kronwall and Williams return.

Troll?

This coming from a guy who's been here for 2 months.

I said what I felt like saying and what I believe to be true. Don't like it. Too bad.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Give me an answer then. How do the great Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk go from "top 10 nhl players" to barely having 30 points this season? Lidstrom and Rafalski couldnt scoreto save there life this year, and the Wings have looked energized in a max of 5-6 games this year.

It's not trolling, it's the truth.

[cupforwings 138]

agreed. That guy is a bipolar pessimist... its pretty sad actually

i mean, calling zetterberg and datsyuk has beens is ridiculous and sad. sure glad I don't have to watch games with him/her

We'll continue to have these games as long as Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Rafalski and Lidstrom continue to suck offensively.

And it's been a while now since Bertuzzi netted a goal. He looks invisible tonight, which is hard considering his size.

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

Didn't the Piles beat us last year 2-0??

[russianswede919293 95]

2 mins in and Ozzie already looks like s***

I disagree. He looks a little out of position, but hasn't seen game action in 10 games. He has made a nice save already though.

[Dave 324]

They need to split these lines. Move Dats to D, meech to forward, Howard to roving defense...I dunno...something.
