Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Filppula looked great this entire game. Might have had a couple goals if we played a lesser goalie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 That was easily the best game Ericsson's played in the last month. 1 shot, 2 missed shots, 3 hits (tied with Helm for team lead), 0 give-aways, -1 (Lids, Rafalski and Meech were all -1 too and Stuart was a -2). Plus he had a fight and a huge hit. He made a great play at the end of the 2nd when he got that pass to Val at the side of the net. How about Filppula? 7 shots tonight.

AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Kinda off topic, but Glencross put up a hat trick for the Flames tonight. WHERE IS OUR CURTIS GLENCROSS? The last Wings hat trick was what? 3 years ago or something? It seems if a first liner doesnt score, then no one does on this team. NO secondary scoring.

Guest lilja4mvp Report post Posted February 4, 2010 filppula really looked great when datsyuk fed him that pass in the slot, wide open, and he launched the thing into orbit. not even close. what a total idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Every single time this season that the Wings have been able to gain ground in the standings and put some room between them and the competition, they lose. At some point they're going to have to get some killer instinct and get a win in this kind of game, or they'll end up missing the playoffs by a point or something awful like that. Ugggg... that would be so brutal. If we miss the playoffs I hope it's by enough to get the Wings a lottery pick. Lottery pick or playoffs. Choose your fate Ken Holland.

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 I wasn't around to be the "only guy who thinks Flip is a weak offensive player" (-Z and D for the C) so I guess no one had anything to say about tonight. This is why I have no problem trading Flip for a guy with even just a little bit of a scoring touch. Something that one could liken to a "descent shot" would be nice as well... We need offense. Not defense and missed chances. It hurts way too much night after night these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Choose your fate Ken Holland. Or you know what, maybe they'll keep hanging around that 8th spot all year and make the playoffs by a point, what do I know. I'd much rather they get some separation from the pack for my own mental health going forward, even if they do sneak in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Your the troll here. Filppula isn't a goal scorer, he's not going to buy his every chance. Deal with it. He excels at every single other aspect in the game. But hiller had some really good saves on filppula tonight, there is no doubt about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) I'm actually just happy that he's shooting. Yes. So he had one missed shot that wouldn't have gone in anyway. Apart from that one split second, he had a great game. He was all over the ice today and was impossible not to notice when he was on the ice. And he set up just as many chances as he missed. The opinion of douchebags who only post to ***** at wings players they don't like at the moment doesn't matter.

Yellowknife Redwing 57 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 I don't know why everyone is so upset. The Wings played pretty well tonight and were the victim of a couple bad bounces and a hot goalie. Replay this game 10 times and the Wings probably win it 8 times playing exactly the way they did tonight. Kudos to Hiller for a great game, but there is no reason to curse the team. It was a solid effort that came up short. It happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When is it okay to admit, hey, we suck at scoring, too? This is the same thing that is said after every loss. We're not the Lions, morale victories don't count!
