I think we are seeing a lot of what we have seen this season... the other team's goalie making great saves to keep his team in the game while ours is not. Every time Howard lets in a goal ppl say "oh but he had no chance" well it is the job of a goalie to make saves to keep his team in it... Leighton is doing that very well right now... impo when ozzie comes back Babs should get him going and if ozzie can get into ggear he is our best bet to win

All fighting would do right now would give the knuckle-draggers a reason to cheer, it won't help the Wings at all. f*** this fighting s***, it's not going to give us any goal or any extra points. Drive to the net, grab those rebounds and for f***'s sake DROP MCCRIMMON!

Toughness doesn't win games or Cups, defense and skill does. Period.

Howard over-commited on every goal tonight. It's ridiculous. And this is coming from a Howard fan. He's really getting on my nerves lately though. Another 3+ goal game for Howard. It's getting ridiculous.

They really need to go out and get a real backup goalie at the deadline. Not only is he struggling, but he's being overworked as well, which could be part of why he doesn't seem to be there mentally all the time. I dunno.

I'm not saying go out and get a bunch of goons. All I want is these guys to show some passion and maybe step up for our goalie. That's not too much to ask for since we have some guys who if push come to shove can handle themselves quite well like Bert, Abby, Ericsson, even Cleary, the dude who stood up to pronger once!

Just show your teammates that you've got their back once in a while.

Yeah but there's two questions with that:

1. Who in the heck is available

2. Who can they afford? It's a prorated salary, but they don't have much money.

Would have been nice to get nabokov.

man, f*** this s***. im tired of this bulls*** play at home. It seems as though they are just waiting for fil and mo to come back. The only good thing that comes from this atrocious performance is that Babs won't have any reason to not mix the lines up for fil and mos return.

Kronner has been terrible tonight, and Rafalski keeps taking low percentage shots all over the place on the pp, then they clear.

SHOOT THE PUCK DATSYUK!

Guest Howard He Do It?!

How do you over commit on a goal where the player is literally all alone in front of the net?

Well you know it's a bad night when, like most goalies seem to do, Lehtonen plays lights out and then the one puck that does go by him gets called back on the Holmstrom rule.

The Wings always seem to have a win with the team you have mentality when it comes to the trade deadline.. which is a great mentality to have.. but I think even if thats the mentality you go with you can't make it public.. maybe float around the idea that you're looking for some improvements.. make some of these players actually play for their jobs.. The Wings just look too comfortable losing.

He thought he was shot at and it was a pass, wasn't even a hard pass. Over-reaction by Howard. That's why it appeared so badly.

If everyone on the Wings played as hard as Helm does every night, what do you think our record would be? <_<

Well, my power is out after hail, high winds, and rain just blew through. Has the 3rd started yet?

Yup. Your not missing much other then watching skating Yambags running around wearing red shirts.
