not even our goalie

Key phrase.

[brennan17]

FIFY

Richards had all day and the whole ice to make it happen. Look at all that space he had.

I'm just bugging kinda. Horrible play by defense but he didn't even shoot it lol. He glided it in.

[Z and D for the C]

Holy s***, Cleary even does a completely s***ty job of clearing the puck from the neutral zone. What is he trying to do, be the blernsball-playing-Lela of the NHL? Oh, but it's his knee, that was it.

Pretty solid period and conks looked good... Just one mental goof lol

[The Production Line]

At least we're not down by 3.

Couple of bonehead (rookie) plays in the defense zone, and everyone else is trying to be to pretty with the puck in the defensive zone. That being said, we had some good outlet plays too, and we look OK at center ice and pretty decent in the offensive zone.

SPECIAL TEAMS SUCK ASS.

Well, that seems like a fast 20 minutes...I suppose we're lucky it's only 1-1 (I hate being negative!)

That wasn't just a mental goof... that was a complete lapse

[dirtydangles]

overall i really like the way we are taking away the time of NY. Dats has looked a little slow on the back check at times.... nyquist really looks comfortable out there. fil looks like he's trying to do too much after he missed on the break - chillax.

I cant wait for Nick to be back... the team is playing better tonight but it seems like there are times where they "rush" to get the puck and and in doing so make a bad turnover... that does not happen with Nick. Other than the 4 or so giveaways I thought the Wings had a good period.

As for the PK, Kronners simply has to be better than that... he is too good of a dman to let Richards by so easily. having said that, why the hell was Stuart up so high?? Frickin Pasha was back more than him... really it was Stuart being so high that led to the goal... PK has to be better than that... agaain Nick will fix that.

They got out of the first tied and they broke the seal with Lundqvist. I'll take that compared to just about every recent game. Plus, Z drew first blood, so the Zetterbeard is in effect. Conklin has looked OK. Not great, but not as bad as his last stint up in Detroit.

Keep focused, keep pressure, and open it up in the second. Let's Go Wings! Let's Go Wings! Let's Go Wings!

kronwall has been disappointing since taking the top spot

oh ya, for sure. Replace Janik with Lidstrom and we look good even without helm and franzen.

[GoWings1905]

I see Cleary has replaced Ericsson as the board whipping boy. Usually by the same people that have bashed Cleary for years, but are extra vocal now.

Anyways, not a bad period overall. Nyquist looks really comfortable out there. Too many sloppy turnovers they need to cut down on, but at least they are in the game. I wasn't too sure that would be the case.

[foster016]

Dan Clearly has to go... I'm sorry but everyone is skating laps around him. He just doesn't have it anymore, healthy knee or not.

[jeff48109]

league leading 12th too many men penalty???

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

Agreed.

But everything can't be perfect especially now with our team. So be it.

We need another good period.

Oh great we lead the league in too many men on the ice penalities.

...wait until Ericsson returns.

[Firehawk]

I just think the team is "off" and has been for awhile, and it's because of too many young new players on the team. That has put the entire team out of sync. I think with all the starters, cleary would look better, Kronwall would look better, Stuart would look better, hell, maybe even Hudler would look better (although I doubt it, he looks like a boy amongst men).

It may be a blessing to end up 6th, and play the dallas/phoenix teams. I think it's pathetic that if you are in that division challenging for the 3rd seed, it's possible you could end up 3rd, or 9th LOL. Give me a break.

[GoWings1905]

...wait until Ericsson returns.

Haha, very true. It won't take long. Although, I will say I hope E gets back soon. He takes a lot of heat, but he's actually pretty responsible defensively and that's something the Red Wings are sorely lacking lately. Quincey hasn't been as solid in that regard as I anticipated.
