10/25 GDT: Red Wings 1 at Blue Jackets 4

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Third line needs to stick together (the original one).

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

I don't even care to complain anymore, obviously Conks isn't getting any better tonight and the Wings are asleep at the wheel. They better wake up for thursday against San Jose, thank goodness Howards gonna be back.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

how many times has conklin thought he had the puck now wtf seriously

[P. Marlowe 748]

ok, when is Commodore gonna be ready? Who are the scratches tonight?

Commodore might be ready to save the team by Friday. The two game-breakers sitting tonight are Brunsström and Emmerton.

[gowings00 545]

Conklin has no clue where the puck is. Not seeing it at all.

Im afraid if the Wings play like this it doesn't matter who's in net, they will lose.

[redwashington2000 42]

Well after so much high words like "We should play better, we should do this and that" everything comes to the point the RW Team does not give a s*** about us. Both superstars Datsyk and ZeTELburger are not close even to be called superstars.

[Guest stinky fish taco]

zetterberg - how long does he get a free pass? he looks 90 years old out there. time to step your game the f*** up.

cleary - totally useless. i can't believe i actually read someone say that he has "played well" a few days ago.

stuart - dumb as dirt. a defensive defenseman (i.e., no offense) that doesn't play defense well? and he wants a raise?

hudler - wait, he's playing? totally invisible; you'd think franzen and filppula were out there alone

bertuzzi - take some more penalties, please. i know you need a break from that "one hand on the stick, skate behind the net, then give the puck away" move that you love so much.

datsyuk - something looks way off. probably more giveaways or bad plays in the first 7 games of this season than all of last year...but that's more a testament to his usually near-perfect game.

conklin - LOL. absolute garbage.

kindl - multiple bad giveaways today after some promising games.

PK - anyone not named eaves gonna block some shots? anyone? really love the multiple weak clearing attempts every PK. embarrassing.

off to battlefield 3. not wasting my time tonight with this disinterested team.

[edicius 3,269]

Conklin has just looked RATTLED out there. And for no good reason. He ain't gonna stop the puck if he can't manage to find it and scrambles and flails as a result.

[Electrophile 3,554]

It'd be real great if the team that won its first five games shows up for the last 20 minutes of this one.

Well after so much high words like "We should play better, we should do this and that" everything comes to the point the RW Team does not give a s*** about us. Both superstars Datsyk and ZeTELburger are not close even to be called superstars.

Come again?

[DRW Dominance 255]

lets hope for a good third but i highly doubt it considering what we've seen so far.

i guaranteed my buddy who is a columbus fan that columbus would win this game. you can just see these games coming.

conklin looks totally out of sorts. weird considering his shutout game. our number one line is more like a second at best line. also weird.

this team loves saying the right things and not acting on them at all. been like this for a couple of years now. too many games with a less than stellar effort.

at least we have one more period to shape up and steal this game.

[13dangledangle 960]

Not much to speak of so far, Conks looks just plain scared every shot is going to go in and Columbus knows it. I also agree it's time to put a time out on Z&D for a few shifts at least. Heres to an awesome third...LGW

You show those n00bs who's boss.

[robb himself 143]

yikes...I hope they pull it together in the 3rd...this game is still in reach...I just hope they go out there and grab it

[DRWfan 24]

You guys say whatever you want, and of course we can blame defense, offence, coaches, bad luck, bad weather, but until wings will get a GOOD goalie nothing will happen... Conklin is BS, Howard is close to it. WE HAVE NOT HAD A GOALIE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE NOW...

[P. Marlowe 748]

A big part of Datsyuk's and Zetterberg's dominance in the past was their ability to handle the puck while moving in high speed. They haven't been that fast this far. All the stickhandling goes to waste when they don't separate themselves from the opposing players.

[greenrebellion 415]

Top line is broken, mayday, mayday, mayday.

Yeah having a goalie with 37 wins, 2.26 GAA and .924 SV% in his rookie season is terrible.

[Sgt. Angry 23]

I honestly was not excited about the beginning of the NHL season. I expected more of the "same ol" from a team that hasn't changed that much, and that's pretty much what's happening. After having to endure the Tigers choking at crunch time, watching Austin Jackson routinely strike out on three pitches, etc., I'm certainly not ready for this kind of hockey.

[GongShow94 2]

Conklin is playing like s***. First goal his legs were more open then a hooker (sorry). Second goal he was out of position and didnt cover his post. Third goal he wasnt positioned in front of the shot letting the puck over his shoulder. Usually I can be a little easy on goalies probably cause I played defense and we are used to blaming ourselfs but all three of those goals could easily been stopped. For the rest of the team everyones scrabbling and trying to do to much if you watched the last game against columbus everyone was calm and let everything fall into place like they should be doing. Idk if everyone is nervous because conk is in net but they just need to play there game right now. HERE WE GO WINGS!!! LETS GET IT BACK THIS PERIOD!!!!

I agree f*** him lost the Caps game for the Wings solely

[P. Marlowe 748]

Top two lines now:

Holmer - Dats - Mule

Fil - Z - Cleary

Hudler is off the top six.

Team needs more Mursak.

Ridiculous that Huds gets a demotion when he's been our 4th best forward tonight (Helm, Eaves, Flip).

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Blown calls ahoy.
