Guest mjtm77 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 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 this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commadore183 103 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 GoWings1905 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SiLkK19 67 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 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!

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted February 25, 2011 How do you over commit on a goal where the player is literally all alone in front of the net? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
