3/21 GDT: Penguins 5 at Red Wings 4 (SO)

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

This "eutrotrash" brand of hockey has gone on too long. The laziness of this team is infuriating.

The Pens have had injuries all year, but they play a tight checking, defensive and gritty style of hockey, and have good goalies to boot.

The Wings are just a fancy pants team which is afraid to work hard and is awful defensively and in net.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pittsburgh goes farther in the playoffs than us, despite not having Crosby and Malkin. They just play harder and play a style more suited for playoff success.

This sums up my thoughts of this team. I'm expecting a first round exit.

Gotta love worthless posts like that.

worthless like a box of chocolates.

I like chocolate. Makes me fat though.

Detroit out in the 1st round. this game is just a glimpse of what will happen to them in the 1st round no matter who they play.

[commadore183 103]

One more period left in the game and it's only a 3 goal deficit. Shouldn't be too hard for the Wings to get at least a point out of it.

4-1 PIT over DET after 2 periods.

Or it could be they realize they weren't helping Jimmy at all.

Maybe Nick can rally the troops? Guess we'll find out in the 3rd.

Wow, our goalie situation looks great going into the playoffs.

Then again, Osgood is coming back soon.

You joined 2 hours ago and this is your first post? How did you get to the computer in the first place? Did you parents not put up the baby gate after you went to bed?

I'm wondering if Abby has a conky? I really hope not

If Ozzie didn't take so long in coming back, he would have secured a starting position in the playoffs.

Babcock has not been afraid to bench Hasek or Ozzie in his time here. I have no doubts that he would have benched Howard as well, who is a much less accomplished goalie than those two.

Now, I'm not so sure. Ozzie doesn't have any time to get back to playing shape, in order to start the playoffs.

Good freaking luck winning this game lol

[Yak19 303]

Wings need to try and get Lindback in the offseason, that's a goalie of the future.

[Yzermania 156]

I probably don't know what I'm talking about here, I'm just tossing it out there because I haven't seen this mentioned before, but does anyone think our failure in net has anything to do with goalie coaching? Since I've been watching hockey, I haven't seen much success in net by our goalies.

No, we just don't spend much money on our goalies, so they are never going to be amazing. We had Hasek, that was our big deal of a goalie but age caught up with him unfortunately. When you are paying a goalie a couple million, you aren't going to get a Luongo, Brodeur or anything of that nature.

exactly......at least in the past the eurobrand of hockey the wings play had some heart and grit mixed in. they dont have that or are unwilling to play that way. showing heart and playing hard will take them a long way in the playoffs. but they just dont or refuse to play that way.

If someone walked by Jimmy Howard and said "Hey Jimmy, you're mediocre", he would without question have to say thank you.

Actually, he'll fit in well around here.

Welcome son!
