2/11 GDT: Sharks 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

[titanium2 867]

Why does Babcock insist on Bertuzzi at all the wrong moments?? Bert in front of Zetts AND Mule on the shootout, not to mention flip, helm, cleary?? WTFFFFFFFFFFF that s*** pisses me off so much

Babcock likes to be Babcock.

He's still one of the best coaches in the league but sometimes he just looks like an ignorant jackass.

Red Wings are having a bad mid life crisis.

[Z and D for the C 712]

this team has no idea how to win. 2 wins in the last 10 games. they're a ******* joke. datsyuk is invisible. he turned from maybe the best player in the world to 2nd tier over-*******-night. how is that even possible? i'm so frustrated with this ******* team!!!

And Zetterberg looks even worse.

[stuck in socal 56]

It is time to panic. Those who aren't are blind.

[syntax 359]

Time to push it IMO.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

Where is the "easy" button when you need it?

I'm so sick of pressing that damn panic button.

One of his absolute worst qualities is how he seems to have no feel for who's hot and who's not in any given game.

Like tonight, Bert was cold as hell, invisible really. And he has been for a while. Meanwhile, Mule was everywhere, had a great goal and was close to having more.

Yet Bert gets to go before Franzen. I don't care that he's rusty, shootouts are so much about confidence and just being hungry to score.

Datsyuk-Franzen-Williams-Zetterberg-Filppula-Bertuzzi

Something like that the SO order should be imo.

Btw, to the people putting this loss on Zetterberg and Datsyuk: I thought the both looked great tonight. Certainly outplayed Marley-Heatley-Thornton. Datsyuk had a couple of bad giveaways which is out of character and he missed a great opportunity but he also drew a couple of penalties and was involved in a lot offensively. Z looked like he had more jump than he's had in a while and did some really good things that sadly often lead nowhere but he tried atleast.

Don't break it, though. It's on loan.

Its called BIG FAT OVERPAID CONTRACTS= SOFT PLAY AND LESS INTENSITY!! is it a coinsidence that the Wings suck after all their big players have big fat long term contracts now??????

[MCleveland89 122]

Really.

84.2 Overtime – Regular-season – Extra Attacker - A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation play, except if the goalkeeper has been removed at the call of a delayed penalty against the other team.

I just looked it up in my rule book too and the man speaks the truth. I read the entire book a couple months ago and don't remember that. What a weird rule.

[stuck in socal 56]

WE all knew we were due for a rough season of fanhood. WE are being tested now, but I like to think that the Wings will be on top again.

Just not this year.

[SiLkK19 67]

Fcuk the sharks and their bandwagon fans.

[BlueMonk 102]

Really?

I learned something tonight. I guess since no one has ever done it, that's why I had no clue about the rule.

Yeah, it's a strange rule. I think it may have actually come up before. I want to say I was watching highlights of the final game of some team's season where they needed 2 points to make the playoffs and tried it because 1 point would have done them no good. I could be imagining things, but I seem to remember hearing about it for the first time that way.

That will be us. Watch.

We have about a thousand bandwagon wings fans on these forums.

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

That will be us. Watch.

and we'll blow it, in the shootout.

I'm surprised you were able to ****** that from Bettman's cold hands.

He normally hands that to Ray Shero on game days.

[bdavis 28]

50+ shots, 2 goals. PP sucks ass. Shootout chances suck ass. Come on... How can a team with pretty much the same offensive core as last year, not score at least 3 goals on 50 shots??? This is starting to get annoying. They NEVER score when they need to. PP in OT? Pissed away. Sorry all I'm just annoyed. There is no excuse for this team. This is pretty much the same team that made it to the SCF last year, and won the Cup before. Don't give me that bulls*** about them winning all the time and it's their time to lose. Or, "oh they're just getting over injuries, and chemistry is off"... Even saying that they are tired from all of the games they've played is a joke. THEY HAD 50 ******* SHOTS! You'd think that they would at least be in 5th place with all the talent on the team. Just sick of the excuses. They just don't look like they have the heart to win anymore.

Word!

Well, they DID tie it up.

[gcom007 1,465]

When was the last time we actually won a game? I honestly don't remember.

I'm sorry, but you're dead wrong.

Sharks?

I distracted him with a picture of Crosby in a speedo.

Back in the day. When movies were 50 cents.
