2/25 GDT : Avalanche 4 at Red Wings 3

[foster016 2]

Anybody else feel like Detroit has given up more odd man rushes this season than they have for the past 3 seasons combined?

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

And Abby just got rocked per usual. lol.

[sputman 1,268]

a fight!

neat!

There goes our punching bag Abby.

Boxing lessons my ass.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Abby! At least he is showing some emotion.

This game shows the lack of scoring this team has. Without Pavs they have NO offense. They look lost! We need to trade for a guy like Grabaski who can add a lot to this team... skill, loves to shoot, good at passing and TRIES EVERY SHIFT! Personally I would not mind if Franzen gets benched next game.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Abby was at the end of a long shift.

[Krystal 41]

Even my cable box knows we're s***ting the bed tonight - it turned the game off on it's own!

Lord.. I warned my husband that when they got back tonight I'd either be hyped up from a win, or drowning my sorrows in booze if we got throttled. The liquor cabinet is lookin' pretty good right about now.

[kipwinger 8,521]

Abby just got dusted again. Ya, we don't need any gritty bottom liners..

Yeah because that would somehow cure our offensive and injury issues. Just like fighting gives your guys a boost eh?

Frankly, I would ask for his money back on those.

Sad effort all around. Good thing we got Quincy instead of Downie, who is clearly useless. I would love to rant about it, but clearly the apologists are already out, so screw it. Plenty of time to talk it over after another 1st/2nd round exit.

Poor guy. It's sad that he feels he should do this to himself because there's no one else on our team that is willing to fight.

I don't understand why Bert doesn't fight anymore.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Hey, if you guys want a team to win games and fights...........well, then go be a Boston fan.

[jroc86 90]

Well, after tonight the Wings will be 0-3-1 without Datsyuk ... 0-4-1 if you add the game Lidstrom sat out. 1 of a possible 10 points because of the absence of a superstar. I think this really illustrates 2 things. 1) How superb Pavel is and how his presence elevates the play of those around him. 2) How granola the rest of the team is despite the name value of a handful of guys.

Colorado is playing like a possesed team - Quinceys unprofessional remarks about the organization and the state of their room surely have stoked them (Downie has 3 points already).

Regardless - losing 1 goal affairs top Vancouver and Chicago while down your franchise player is understandable. This is horsesh*t tonight - but thats the way a season goes. If they lay an egg against Columbus then Im going to be severely rattled.

Abby was at the end of a shift. Ken just said it. And I wouldn't put it past Wilson to know that.

This game shows the lack of scoring this team has. Without Pavs they have NO offense.

Agreed on this, and I don't understand it. They have the talent to put something together in Datsyuk's absence, yet they certainly are not doing it. Frustrating.

Not worth wasting the booze on a loss...just bang one out when your husband gets home. At least you won't wake up w/a headache.

HUDS!!

I'd prefer to see wins, but I appreciate the effort. Similarly, Dorsett loses most fights he is in, but I like him on the Wings.

[Tim.D 176]

Won't be enough though.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Huds really isn't playing well, but at least he's getting the puck in the net.

[redwingfan19 293]

just finish the game strong boys

[Jericho613 74]

We need a big move. We aren't getting very far in the playoffs with this roster. What would happen if Pavs got hurt in the playoffs. Franzen and Hudler as our saviors? I shudder thinking about that.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Huds!

[datterberg1340 626]

wow finally got a break, but too little too late I'm afraid

[Guest irishock]

This would've been a game....

[crispychris 45]

If it was up to me I would make #93 watch the next few games from the press box and talk some s*** about his mom and wife. Maybe that would make him mad enough to start playing hockey.
