1/31 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Penguins 2 (SO)

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Those were nice shootout moves by Crosby and Malkin. If that was Datsyuk and Z who did that you'd be all over them and not saying anything about the goaltender.

Howard got us a point. He did not "blow it" in the SO, it was simply a case of the ice ruining Pavel's attempt and Babcock deciding to go with Williams (wtf) as the 2nd shooter. How about giving Flip a chance to go 2nd? Datsyuk, Flip, Bert sounds like a good SO lineup to me. Maybe Zetterberg inserted 2nd or 3rd depending on what kind of game he's had.

Sooner or later we have to start winning games, many of them and in a row, but right now a point is okay.

Sucks about Kronwall though, I have a feeling his season could be over.

How about not. He's not exactly adept at hitting an open net, let's not throw him in there "with a goalie" and hope for the best.

Flip is like a lap dance. You get very excited, but in the end, it's just a tease.

Guest Howard He Do It?!

Jimmy got beat by Malkin and Crosby, both of whom showed nice moves and are studs in the SO, and you are going to blame him? That's laughable.

I keep waiting for the wings to turn their play around. They really need to get some sort of winning streak going and soon.

Anyone blaming howard for this shootout lose is dilusion. He is the reason they got a point.

howard and lids should start ***** slapping ppl. theyre the only ones who show up to play every game

Datsyuk played well, too. Zetterberg was okay, but he needs to stop doing the behind the net move that 99% of the time results in losing the puck.

And Flip, regardless of how many points he's put up, has been a huge disappointment this season. If he has the puck you can bank that he's going to lose it. That wide open net miss was just icing on the cake of his crappiness this season. But he's always been more promise than delivery, which is why so many people sided with Hudler in the Hudler vs. Flip debate. Filpulla will not be a life-long Wing.

Well, we got a point we barely deserved after getting out-played and out-skated for the first 50 minutes. I was going to add out-battled, but there were no battles because the pens always had a man open as we chased them round the ice. We just looked so slow.

As for the shootout - we just generally suck, but Williams ahead of Bert? I fear it will be our OT/shootout record that will cause us to miss the playoffs by a point or 2.

Is there logic behind Williams as #2 shooter? cause I didn't see it.

anywhere you can look up career shootout %? because jason williams is probably 2nd on the wings behind datsyuk (out of those that have taken a decent # of chances).

what are the better options? z? flip? both suck at shootouts. bertuzzi? was probably slated to go 3rd.

wings just suck at shootouts, which is only a big deal this season because they suck at everything else, too.

Just wait till Howard becomes a regular cog in the Detroit Red Wings.

You'll be seeing much more of that bologna.

At this point I think he is. He's already played more games than half his damn teammates with all our injuries. Kronwall going for that meaningless hit really pisses me off.

Well I mean like a seasoned veteran.

Once he gets a few playoff games everyone will "see" how much he sucks and how overrated he is because of the system in front of him. I mean he is the goaltender. If he isn't stopping every shot he must be doing something wrong.

Also for those stating that Crosby is a ******: The guy got shoved by Stuart in the chest and into the net, and actually picked up his stick and handed it to him after the whistle blew. I guess he must be a real tool to try something like that, right?

He scored in what I think is his only SO attempt this year.

Flip is one of the few players that have actually improved this season compared to previous years, and many nights he's one of our better players.

Jeebus Christ, SOME members of the Wings fan club need to simmer down now. Yes, they are injured. Yes, they're not winning shooouts. Yes they were outshot and YES, they're not as good as they have been. If ANY franchise in sports deserves a little slack it's the Detroit Red Wings. Like Maximus in Gladiator asking "Are you not entertained?" Have you not been entertained over the last 15 years? Would you RATHER be a fan of the Maple Loafs? The Panthers? Good lord some of you henny pennys need to understand that into every life a little rain must fall. They're still a good team that when healthy is the instant dark horse should they make the playoffs. If they don't I wish them a restful and healthy summer. They've given ME anyway so much joy over these last 15 years I'd be more than willing to give this franchise ANY needed mulligan. And even if they don't make the playoffs we have indeed found our next netminder going forward. That's huge.

As for the smug Pens fans, you've been living right with the support of the NHL offices, on that there can be no debate. Here's the thing Pens fans, Chicago is the new Pittsburgh in the eyes of the NHL. You got your breaks, games on back-to-back nights in last year's Final, 7 men on the ice without being called along with other very questionable calls, but Chicago is a huge fan base, they are the new media darling, kinda like the Penguins were 3 years ago. Soon enough you'll find all that has been for you these last handful of years is going to be going to the Hawks. Once Mr. Gary sets his sights on getting a team big ink the Pens will be tossed out like so much recycling at the Bettman household.

You are kidding me, right?

Howard was a big reason Detroit was even in this game. Probably the only reason.

Fil needs to look up the definition of "net."

Defense needs to tighten up.

Offense needs to do something.

Howard deserves a vacation when this season is over if this is how the rest of it is going to play out.

Fil is so bad he can't even find net in the dictionary.
