Can someone explain to me what the hell Kronwall was doing on that first Shark's goal?

i understand that him and howard got crossed up a little on where the puck was going to end up.

BUT

kronwall also stopped playing on a play during the stl game. WTF is he thinking.

if that goal never happened who knows how that game would've ended up.

And then Datsyuk doesn't pick up Pavelski, instead skating right past him.

What the hell is going on with this team???

They aren't sure if they want to tank or not.

Only logical explanation.

okay, so, 8 loses out of the last 12 games. This is becoming a bit concerning. While I hold on to who we have on this team, because I know they have done better, but if this trend does not change, it really may be time to have a shake up. I don't know what though. Nobody wants our utility/garbage players, and with Franzen's stupid contract, who is gonna take him? I seriously think this team is doomed this year, unless it's injuries and if that is the case, LTIR and let them heal. PLEASE! I do not want to see them miss the playoffs. If you have to shop some of our top 6,then so be it. I am a fan of this franchise, not any individual player. It's either Zetterberg and Datsyuk and hurt, or their line-mates are, or they stink...I don't know, but we are the Mother F&$*ING Red Wings and 4 wins in 12 games is NOT NOT NOT acceptable, no matter how you slice it! I am not jumping ship, but I DO have the right to be PISSED! MAKE SOME KIND OF CHANGES OR THE RUN WILL BE OVER!

Mike Illitch, hear or prayers, for the love of Hockeytown and it's dedicated followers, do something! It is now time to see if Ken Holland is indeed, the Maestro GM he is painted to be!

Kronner thought Howard was going to play the puck, so he went to accept the pass. However, Howard couldn't play the puck (trapezoid) so Kronner was out of position.

[uncle ovipositor]

Zetterberg for Nash and Carter.

[ben_usmc]

Very tired of Dan Cleary.....

[pazzloski]

Zetterberg for Nash and Carter.

I doubt Columbus would go for that.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

Hudler for Clarkson.

[Cloune]

team full of talentless average players or players who had the talent but didn't evolve it (i call them athlets, they can move but can't handle the puck). in comparsion to other teams ours is really below the average.f****** slackers.

Lol.

I don't even think the draft coming up is that good. I mean, isnt the top guy the jackass that belly flops on the breakaway, pushes the puck up with his hand and swipes his stick at it???

top players not producing.

Z and Dats arent putting pucks in the back of the net. the only players doing that are defense men.

pathetic performance after 19 mins of the game. I am very much losing my faith in zetterberg cleary and some what datsyuk. guys arent doing it like they did before.

zetterberg looks like an average player out there.

injuries have to be the issue with those two...could they have both become average over the off season? What are the odds? I believe it's injuries and I wish to all wishes that they'd go on LTIR, because I'd rather have them healthy and producing than stinking up the ice at 50%...it has to be injuries...it just has to be....

this team has a lot of issues right now too.

again stl and sj once they got rattled everything went to s***. 5 minute pp was terrible against stl--game over after that. the goal to tie the game at 1 against sj--game over after that.

both games we came out strong for 10 minutes, scored first but couldn't get that 2 goal lead.

we're too experienced to get flustered but it's happening.

teams are way too close now and if you make mistakes you lose. can't get away with just talent alone anymore.

we need a goal scorer and a bottom 6 with more size/grit.

get a goal scorer and you can move cleary to the bottom 6 where he belongs. hudler is useless. too small for bottom 6, can't create on his own and isn't good enough for top 6.

who knows what to do with bert though. 3rd line i guess? not sure. cause he'll never get traded.


not necessarily in this order but


Z, D, FLIP

FRANZEN, ?, ?

HELM, CLEARY, BERT

ABBY, MILLER, EAVES

but then what to do with homer, emmerton, brunnstrom, hudler?

man this lineup is seriously mediocre.
