3/19 GDT : Capitals 5 at Red Wings 3

[wings_fanatic 677]

Babcock should have pulled the goalie when it was 4 on 4 for a minute to give us a 5 on 4 advantage... Overall I dont see this team winning games until Nick is back on Saturday. Kronners couldn't keep the puck alive tonight if his life depended on it and didnt hit the net on that beauty setup by pasha at the end there... we really need nick and i cannot wait for him

One positive note from the game, the PP was on fire, compared to what it usually is.

[RedWingsRox 614]

well, at least Vancouver is losing to Minny going into the 3rd. Can someone call me when the real Red Wings come back from pre-season form.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

Look on the bright side, Holland Hit the Juck ******* Pott!

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Terrible.

yes, but unfortunately so was the opposition's

The message is clear for Holland, this team will need help this summer.

He should have gotten that message the last two summers.

It's too bad we let Yzerman go when he did. This offseason would have been a good time to push Holland out the door. But I guess Stevie couldn't wait that long.

I wonder if giving penalties to us has become a strategy for teams when they are under pressure considering they more often than not result in short handed goals (or in the case a drawn penalty).

[Guest The Production Line]

yes, but unfortunately so was the opposition's

I didn't say anything about the PK. The devil's in the details.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Softer than butter, with as much heart as the grinch who stole christmas.

Or something like that...

[Jeff6851 168]

DAMN YOU!!!!

Turn on game, goes to 3-0, turn it off, 3-1, come back, 4-1, leave again, 4-3, come back, 5-3

[CrimsonFlame 424]

I don't know what upsets me more right now. The fact that the Wings start off like s***, or the comeback tease they do at the end.

[brett 1,029]

3rd place in the central is looking more likely everyday

already there

[datterberg1340 626]

maybe the Wings are just confused as to what time of year it is, with all the AHLers around maybe they think it's the pre-season and that's why they don't seem to care?

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I'd rather play Dallas in the first round then Nashville, Vancouver or St. Louis.

That's what this team should play for the rest of the regular season.

[Crashnburnluder 385]

Praying this is the calm before the storm...(us sucking until we just tear s*** up)

if any team was overdue to stop sucking...

Another 20 minute effort. f*** sakes - its not an olympic year, pump these injured guys full of steroids and growth hormones and get our D-pairings back. Nice goal by Quincey and nice setup by Smith but both of these guys have made some total boner moves these last few games ... in Vancouver theres the "Mason Raymond drinking game" (take a shot everytime Raymond falls down) - I think this could be applied to Quincey as well, the guy loses his footing every goddammed shift. Cleary looked like well ... Cleary in the third period. Where is that urgency all the time? Yeah hes hurt - but I think hes by nature a lazy guy. Theres a reason he washed out in Chicago despite being a highly touted prospect - he played his heart out for a few years here establishing his spot but I want to see that sandpaper greasy game more often. Im getting tired of these come from behind just enough to "save face" wins weve been getting lately.

9 games to go ... if we win 6 of them thats a 104 point season. Certainly not where I thought we'd stand when there was 20-25 games remaining but itll do. (deep breath). Time to go hit the gym and blown off some steam. f*** sakes

Pretty pathetic when a guy in his 40s is the best f***in player on your team, just f***in pathetic. What the hell will this team look like when Lidstrom retires? No leadership at all, just a bunch of aimless dipwads....

[LeftWinger 4,953]

Well, don't look now but Chicago is only 4 points behind Detroit. From first overall before the Deadline, none of the needs addressed even tweaked, then falling to 6th seed by the end of the season... I think someone mentioned something about that happening and got laughed and negged to death...

I don't see anyone finding this hysterical anymore. This is reality. Injuries are part of the game, but you rely on players picking up the slack and nobody has done anything! I am sure Holland kept his players because he felt they would continue playing hard and roll into the playoffs. They are now going to limp into the playoffs in 6th spot more than likely. I am very scared to what may happen then...I would HATE to get eliminated by the Predators. The only thing that would bring a silver lining is if Holland plucked Suter away from them in July...but we all know what will happen in July...

[Octopus's Garden 147]

I'd rather play Dallas in the first round then Nashville, Vancouver or St. Louis.

That's what this team should play for the rest of the regular season.

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that's what they were playing for already. This is worse than Suck for Luck in the NFL.

[VM1138 1,921]

There's really no excuse or explanation that justifies what they're doing lately. I've never seen them play this terrible this close to playoffs. The only exception would be in 2002, but they were so far ahead they had nothing to play for. What the hell is wrong with these guys?

[Winged Wheel 45]

Like I said..........get rid of Holland. Once the season ticket holders start complaining and cancelling.........he'll be gone and hopefully take Babcock with 'em. One of worst inspirational motivators in professional sports.

[LeftWinger 4,953]

already there

Yes, with 4th on the horizon...yuck!

St. Louis

Nashville

Chicago

Detroit

Columbus

How horrible does that look?

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

I cant believe one post from some hammered foreigner that cant type is now emblazoned on so many sigs lol. f***in classic.

BTW I think Im now in the denial stage as Im not that upset about another horrific loss.
