[ChelisChick 174]

Was that a power play goal? *rubs eyes* Seriously???

[syntax 359]

Barely short of the all time PP drought. How about we win a ******* game now?

Great term for a Quincey goal. Well done. Now they need to kick the Caps in the yambag and get a few more.

You guys are over-reacting! Hope cow... I understand the anger with the fact that we are winless in 4, but every team goes through slumps and while in our slump it has largely been because of injuries. In funks, mental errors are made, pucks dont bounce your way, and every that can go wrong does. Puck bounces on Smith leading to goal, Hank hitting the crossbar on the powerplay... I typically find that in funks there is usually 1 game where the team in the slump gets destroyed in every aspect and NOTHING goes their way all game. It is typically after a game like this that the teams turn things around. By the end of the season, the Wings will be rolling and no one will be whining about this, calling Kenny the worst GM in the league, and so on. INstead of debunking everyone (other than Cleary cuz i hate him) how about we SUPPORT their turnaround to success... lets have faith!

I hear ya and agree for the most part but injuries aside there are some alarming issues that should have and could have been addressed.

1. PP is just awful. They look totally lost and you can't really blame this one on injuries. We've been bad at this for a while.

2. PK has been even MORE awful. This has nothing to do with injuries. Period!

3. The team has been SO inconsistent. this is the worst "slump" by far but this entire year has been the most roller coaster year I've seen. In the past, if the wings REALLY needed a win they could buckle down and climb their way out but this team has been different.

4. No moves at the deadline despite really needing a Big Forward.

...not giving up but there are some monumental obstacles to overcome in the next 10 games. Can it happen..sure! I hope so.

Datsyuk with the change up shot, didn't work. He's some creative though

It's not over reacting, they have been like 3 and 15, that's ******* pathetic. Especially for not doing s*** at the trade deadline. So basically only have rainbows and sun shine and never be upset. It's ok guys you don't have to give a f*** about winning or trying, nobody in the arena has paid any money to see you, nobody invests their time to watch you play a sport. Thanks for pointing out that they will turn it around, I thought they were going to lose every single game forever.... People are pissed because they have played like s***, people who are being paid good money to play a sport are cashing checks without trying to earn s***, and they don't deserve critism?

Edit: agreed Cleary is terrible

I was starting to think quincey was a bad move

[ben_usmc 253]

Dats can do anything he wants out there because he is the F'n man!

[The Greek 323]

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Good times are coming...

[Jeff6851 168]

So I decided to work out instead and I come back and we've scored. If the Caps score again I'm leaving because it'll be obvious I'm a jinx

[datterberg1340 626]

"not diggin' the 1 to 3", well said Wings lady

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Agreed 100%. Since we don't fight much, thank goodness for Datsyuk because he is probably the most entertaining player in hockey.
