Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Detroit Red Wings: Making Anaheim fans rage since 2009. How did Howard have a rough game? Howard had some good saves and was completely hung out to dry by his defense, but when the D finally got their heads out of their asses he lets in a brutal go-ahead goal. He also seemed to be way too out of position in the third period. Didn't end up costing him but there were a few scary points in the game. He didn't have a "horrible" game, but it wasn't that great, either. Either way we got the two points.

Guest mindfly Report post Posted October 24, 2010 They must do something about the third line.. were they combined -6 tonight? and -3 or 4 since before... just give it up babcock it won't work Can't wait until rafalski returns so they can fix the d-pairings... i've lost some love for janik and kindl isn't ready yet, especially not PP-time. How did Howard have a rough game? By getting out of position, swimming too much and that 4th goal by Selanne was really bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 Great game. Especially for Hank and Dats. Holy moly. Homer too. Cleary must love the last couple minutes of a game because he actually gets to play with Dats and Z instead of being stuck with Hudler and Modano. He did a lot of hard work in those final minutes keeping the puck deep and in the Wings' possession. They could put together a lowlight real of Modano's half-assed puck pursuit. He plays like he's a first line sniper and not a third line center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reilly 24 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) They must do something about the third line.. And do what? You can't mess with the top two lines. I'd rather just have them try and get through it and play better than breaking up the bottom pairing lines. The only other option I'd suggest would be to bench Modano and Hudler when Abdelkder and Draper come back. Edited October 24, 2010 by Reilly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 The only thing surprising about this win is that it wasn't sealed until there were < 20 seconds left in the game. The Wings deserved to win 13-3. The Selanne goal wasn't the best for Jimmy to let in, but Jimmy was good enough and the Wings beat a goalie who was outstanding despite allowing 5 goals. Terrific game by Zetterberg. Datsyuk is just ridiculous. Ridiculous. Every time he has the puck, something good happens. The most exhilarating player I've ever watched, and I'm pretty old.

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 You notice who Pavel deked out on that last play? Lilja. I thought the Wings played pretty well. Howard played a good game, not excellent, but not poor. Winning 5 of their 7 games really shows what this team is made of. I feel that this team is going to get better as time goes on. I expect to see the chemistry form in the 3rd line and the defense will get better when Rafalski comes back. All around good game, and now they can rest up until next week Thursday.

Guest Howard He Do It?! Report post Posted October 24, 2010 By getting out of position, swimming too much and that 4th goal by Selanne was really bad... The 4th goal is not the softy that you are trying to make it out to be and none of the other 3 goals had anything to do with Howard. So again, how did he have a pretty rough game? If anything it was average to good and got the Wings two points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put abdelkader on the third line for starters... don't know what to do with modano, 5mins a night in a 4th line and double shift someone the other minutes as a 4th line center...

commadore183 103 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 Because all 4 of them were his fault. Did we not just watch the same game? It's the same way with Ozzie, many just look at the numbers instead of the actual game at hand. Defense was pretty bad at times, the only goal I'll nail Howie with would be the 4th goal between the legs, but otherwise someone on the D defecated the bedsheets. Not an excellent game from him, but he made many of the stops that he needed to keep the Wings in the game, despite the unintentional sabotage from the defense.
