1/22 GDT: Blackhawks 4 at Red Wings 1

[26point2 203]

Have to clean up these give aways and turnovers...both in our zone and in the neutral zone. Puck seems to act real weird when it touches a Wings stick. Just doesn't look right.

I still can't believe how bad our defense has become since McCrimmon got hired.

AMAZING DEFENSE

kronwall turnover

kronwall leaves front of net leaves hawk wide open

goal tending not the issue. defense is the issue. wings only have 1 defense men out. this is not the forwards fault or the rookies fault, purely the defense men fault.

breakout passes suck

coverage suck

yea its easy to blame the d at first glance, but if they dont have an outlet pass is easy to commit turnovers. Really the whole team is to blame.

Agreed. It's not possible that the rest of the coaching staff and management hasn't noticed this.

All-Star game can't come fast enough. Hopefully they rest up in the next couple days and are ready to go on Wednesday. Anyone else wish Rafalski was UFA after this year and not next? I'm not saying he is THE problem, but that cap space would be handy to fix this D corps.

Z was wide open kronwall blew the pass

[CrimsonFlame 424]

What is defense?

[Hossa4Life 4]

Z was wide open kronwall blew the pass

i dont have dvr so i cant go back and look but i just really meant in general. But our d coverage has been TERRIBLE

[Guest Daphith]

On the plus side, Rafalski was 0 +/- with one assist. Good enough for my fantasy after what had happened.

Who put the plexiglass in front of the net?

[atodaso 279]

god, this game just won't end

[26point2 203]

PK...again

[brandon27 111]

Another wings penalty. Shocker there. Pretty shaddy looking call to me.

Well that's a brutal call. Good thing it doesn't mean anything.

[I Red Wings I 40]

They must have Nabokov on the mind

[Hossa4Life 4]

thats roughing? when did they take hitting out of the game?

[hooon 1,089]

Reffing is atrocious.

[CrimsonFlame 424]

Allstar break please come sooner

[26point2 203]

Holy crap...a penalty called against the Hawks!!!

A little too late.

[brandon27 111]

WOW!! A penalty on the Hawks!! You gotta be kidding me!!

[55fan 5,133]

Let's do something with this.

[26point2 203]

Just won't go into the net...not today anyway.

[brandon27 111]

Damn, can't buy a goal today!

[brett 1,029]
