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.

he's a career 1 for 4 in shootouts, and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot on most nights.

You have to at least give Fil some grief for that opportunity.

My grandmother could have made that shot.

Yes, I've said it was a s***ty miss, but it's not like it was a gimme. That was an incredibly hard angle for a lefty to make. If Fil is right handed he makes that shot easy.

:rolleyes:

Why don't you just say that Flip was trying to make a pass there?

Babcock deciding to go with Williams (wtf) as the 2nd shooter. How about giving Flip a chance to go 2nd?

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

career shootout % (prior to today):

datsyuk: 52.27

williams: 40.74

zetterberg: 30.56

bertuzzi: 30.43

filppula: 25.0 (1 for 4)

williams is the 2nd best shootout option on the wings, period. shootouts are one of the very few things jason williams does not totally suck at.

most LGW fans would probably still rather see zetterberg with another totally inept attempt in that #2 slot, though.

Here is an even harder angle for filppula to score on, but he makes it: (100% awesome play by him all around, actually)

It was a bad miss, but people need to lay off.

But then again I've never been too hard on players for missing shots.

anyone on the wings would have been blasted just as hard for missing that shot - with the possible exception of datsyuk, because datsyuk so vary rarely makes a mistake like that.

the reason you're taking offense if probably because filppulla's goal-scoring ability is so pathetic.

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.

Point taken. Id like to see a stat showing success against MAF. I think THAT should of been a point to choose who your shoot out line up is.

Seems like kronwall is OK

Detroit D Niklas Kronwal tweaked his knee late in a collision with Jordan Staal, but he said he's "good to go." - kausatoday @ twitter

And I'm sure I'd be defending him just as much. It's a hard shot to make, whether your crosby, Zetterberg, filppula or may.

No it's only hard if you are European. Crosby could of scored with his eyes closed.

Don't forget Staal, he missed almost exactly the same kind of shot except it was on his backhand.

Time for a famous Stevie Y lockeroom talk...boy do I miss him right now. Wings need to find some intestinal fortitude, buckle down and play as one. The bottom line today was lack of speed, and not being physical enough along the boards. They all played like deer in headlights; too cautious of making mistakes that has caused them previous games.

The cure at this point is health and confidence. We have the talent. We need to quit playing passive.

Bottom line is it's time to STEP IT UP. :!:

Wow...didn't realize the game had already ended. too many emotions all at once....I watched the 1st period here in Iraq and then came here. They are in the 1st intermission here. After watching the 1st 20 min I'm amazed they only scored 1 goal in reg.. Jimmy must have been out of his mind. I'll watch the rest tomorrow..gotta get some sleep.

hey..somebody look up most overtime losses in a season...we might get that one this year
