2/6 GDT: Red Wings 3 at Kings 4

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Final Score

Red Wings: 3

Kings: 4

Regulation

Can't wait for Franzen to get back. Maybe his work ethic would spark something in the team. I want the Wings to make the playoffs, if only so that Howard can get some playoff experience.

Extremely disappointed in the Wings. If they can't score worth s***, then they can't defend worth s***. Stuart and Howard with two of the more noteable f***ups in the game with their giveaway/s*** puck handling, respectively. Also can't score worth s*** on the powerplay, which used to be their most dangerous part of their game.

Ugh.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, I just had to do that. One of those "if I don't laugh I cry" moments.

Dominate 2 of 3 periods, blow a 3 goal lead and lose another 3 players to boot.

The only thing that can save us now is the Olympic break. 2 weeks to rest and refocus for most of our team - Assuming Datsyuk doesn't break his leg and Lidstrom doesn't get a puck in the face. And assumption is the mother of all cock-ups, as we like to say at work.

This might be the lowest moment in a season filled of low moments. It's the first time that I legitimately believe this team may fail to make the playoffs.

You cannot blow three-goal leads. You just can't. There are teams that want it much more than the Wings do right now, and that's really hard to see. Losing three forwards to injury is unfortunate and more bad luck, but the roster that was left is good enough to win games like this. There isn't much more you can say.

It's unbelievable, really. This feels like total s***.

Not going to lie, this is the first game in which the thought legitimately crossed my mind, and I've been very, very, very positive throughout this rough season. But when your healthy team is playing this s***ty, you've either gotta make some moves to try and balance out the chemistry issues or you're probably f***ed. I still think we'll find a way into the playoffs, but there's no way in hell we'll go far playing even a bit better than we have lately.

Losing the 3 goal lead was pathetic, but we still deserved to win (with 15 skaters). Why couldn't atleast one of those 2 posts go in?

We really miss Holmstrom on the PP. We really miss some consistency on the defense. Stuart and Ericsson were beyond awful today. Every time they were out there it felt as though they were lucky if they made it off the ice without allowing a goal.

That 2nd Kings goal was not good by Howard. Terrible timing to make the biggest mistake of your NHL career. Not going to blame the loss on him though.

Some positives: Hank and Pavel looked great. Lidstrom and Rafalski were +3 and played fantastic. Only 3 players got injured. Okay, that last one was a joke, I couldn't come up with any more positives.

God forbid Ken Holland get off his ass and do something to make this team better. "Stay the course," and "We won't be active" should punch his ticket out of town.

And before you flame me because he's the "best GM in hockey," I say he's the luckiest.

The Wings consistently have low picks turn out to be gems----from Europe. That's Hakan Andersson's job, not Ken Holland. I am so sick of his lazy attitude, and yeah I'm venting, but come on. This team is barely a playoff contender. Why are we staying the course?

Knowing how paranoid Canadians are about their team, they must be wondering whether Babcock should be the guy coaching this team right now.

Didn't you read the sign at the entrance? Please don't bait the canucks!!!

Well, I wonder what excuses we're going to hear now?

I was sort of thinking this is by design. How else are we going to get awesome draft picks. Come on, do you really believe this team would blow a 3 goal lead on purpose?

Toronto blew a 3 goal lead yesterday against New Jersey.

We are playing like Toronto ... that's how pathetic this is.

Send Ericssonn down already. Bring that Tollefsen up ... he couldn't be any worst.

No they didn't. They let in 3 goals in 3 min but never had a 3 goal lead.

I've been saying this for a while. I think the shelf life of a coach is about 3 - 4 years until players basically stop listening.

Don't we have something like 9 new players this year alone?

I don't buy it.

i can see were your coming from but throwing a 3 goal lead is a joke

It's disappointing for sure, but Kings have just been playing outstanding hockey for the last couple weeks. They had one bad period, and injuries/luck killed us.

What do you expect him to do with all the injuries? Honestly...

Babcock: it's not like I really expect him to flip out and be honest, but for the love...

This isn't just a random "off game" anymore.

This is bigger than Franzen. Franzen will help, but this team has much bigger issues. lasdkf;klsdfja
