This isn't even a playoff team without Datsyuk.

Yeah we're missing a few more guys than just Datsyuk, but way to over simplify.

Cleary needs to go on IR and we should play Nyquist in his place for the rest of the year. At least Nyquist is playing with some heart

There is a value to not being exhausted at work tomorrow. Going to give the Wings a little more time though.

Agreed. I'll give them two periods to decide whether or not I'm bailing for bed. I mean, unless the score gets out of hand before that point.

This team is PATHETIC without Pasha! Like seriously they look LOST! I understand they are missing a few pieces but they need to have a better effort than this. Also for the Wings to have this bad of a PP whichever coach is running the PP needs to NOT RUN IT asap because this is unacceptable. I cannot wait until Pasha is back.

[hudler sucks]

This is just sad. There's no excuse to be that bad on the powerplay and give up shorties on top of it.

mr holmstrom is useless PP and EV. Cant even remember last time he made a difference

Yea I'm currently studying fitness and nutrition for a side business. Another LA goal and I can study a bit more before bed.

His skill is missed no doubt. However, I think what he brings most to the team is leadership and work ethic. The combination of Pasha and Lids being out is what is killer. That lack of leadership along with the skill, is what is missed the most.

Guys, it's only the first period.

Tell me about it. He's a liablity at ES and drags down the effectiveness of the 4th line, and he makes no difference whatsoever on the PP.

He's got to go.

[gowings00]

aaaand that's why he's a rookie folks!

*Read with dripping sarcasm

Oh no, you couldn't be more wrong. The Red Wings keep their players down in the minor league system until way after they are ready to play for the club. Haven't you heard?

For the record, I'm so tired of hearing this one.

Have they tried the dump and chase approach with Helm on the PP yet? Teams are just stacking the blueline against us, and none of our skilled guys can go get the puck when they're forced to dump it in.

Ya he really needs to go. He surely does not help anything. Both him and Clearly need to hit the road and get some hungry guys in here.

[puckbags]

Injuries or not we make ourselves so easy to play against Usually when you lose some skill in the lineup you grind a bit more but we are trying to be even more fancy. Shoot thef****** puck!

[CrimsonFlame]

Am I the only person who sees the Refs miss an obvious penalty against the Kings, and then think to myself "Thank God we don't have to go on the power play again"

In other news, NHL.com still gives Nick no respect: https://twitter.com/#!/FSDwakiji/status/179766233590272001/photo/1

I don't get it. He's had his knee drained like tree times in the last month and has been getting regular cortisone injections. There is no justification or keeping stu in over nyquist once healthy. Which does he have, a ntc or nmc?

[Yak19]

forgettable first period

No, but they have tried the "dump and don't chase" approach.
