brunstrum is terrible. guy can't skate a lick, gets rocked and falls all over the place. remind you of anyone?

[DRW Dominance]

kinda funny tonight too.

sj didn't really do anything to achieve 5 goals.

i think they played well for a good 10 minutes and that was enough.

"Zetterberg isn't even half the player he used to be."
"Datsyuk is simply a clown."
"Franzen is the softest 'power forward' in the league."
"Who or what is a Filppula?"

Franzen and Filppula have been our best forwards, but they can't be leaned on every game to score every game. If Datsyuk and Zetterberg don't start scoring at a PPG pace like they should be (or holy s***, a least a point every OTHER game for Zetterberg), then this team won't make the playoffs. As good as both Franzen and Filppula are, they can't carry the team.

Another bad game for the Wings, and the start of another losing streak. Here's hoping we can turn it around next game.

Have a good one guys.

Garbage.

Why did we re-sign Conklin again?

An anorexic woman could do better than him right now in net.

*mumble mumble swear profanity* sharks.

Good night, you all. I wish you pleasant dreams of a Shark-free league.

Wouldn't the last game technically be the start of the losing streak?

Holland needs to wake up tomorrow morning and actually go to work. He can't coast on his ass anymore and not make moves.

Pick up the phone and fix this team Kenny.

Agreed, but it can't/won't happen. The NHL is too competitive now, especially this early in the season. No one is going to move anything of value at a time when most teams feels they could make a run at the playoffs. Beyond that, what the hell do the Red Wings have to offer? They have practically no assets to offer in exchange.

Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with the mediocrity for the duration of this season. Obviously need major changes in many areas going forward.

Who's LGWs whipping boy tonight?

It should be Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Lidstrom.

[Z and D for the C]

On the bright side, Smith looked great. He'd better play the rest of the season, bar injury.

Lidstrom.

I don't care what anyone says, Lidstrom's defensive play is slipping big. I'm not sure he's the best defensive defenseman on this team right now, let alone the league.

Did Datsyuk get any ice time near the end of the game? I didn't notice him at all down the stretch.

Smith single-handedly cost us a goal from a bad giveaway. I wouldn't say he looked great.

I'm fueled with fire to write a coherent response

cleary!!! stanley cup baby.

But that comment made my day haha

Maybe that's why Sharks didn't score any goals near the end of the game...

That's because Franzen and Filppula can't do it. Neither has an ounce of consistency.

Agreed about Datsyuk and Zetterberg though. This team is toast without those two and I'm less convinced every game either one is going to turn it around for good.

[RusDRW]

is the answer still in the locker room Kenny?

[Z and D for the C]

I should have added a qualifier. For his first NHL game, Smith looked great.

Who's better?
