GDT 1/19: Red Wings 0 at St. Louis Blues 6

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

These aren't your older brother's Red Wings, that's for sure.

Too many scrubs in the lineup.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

This is a clinic.

Red and white not doing the schooling either.

[brandon27 111]

Another pathetic powerplay... yikes.

Wheres the energy?!?!

[gcom007 1,465]

it also bothers me that White wears #18, I keep thinking, "Why are they playing Maltby on defense?"

Posted the same thing a page or two back. Really bizarre still. I wish they'd semi-retire certain guys numbers like Draper, Maltby, Holmstrom, Osgood, McCarty even. Some of these guys that won many Cups and were very important parts of this team for a long time. Why not give their numbers a year or two at least? Not a big deal obviously, but it'd be a nice gesture.

Franzen can't physically match anyone in the league......</p></blockquote>

Hey, he does have a vicious mouthguard pull according to Patrick Kane.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Franzen is finishing checks atleast he can't help that he's slow. Cleary is completely useless to this team

[Jasper84 333]

Here comes out PK, hopefully this won't be as bad as everything else thats been out there so far.

[Carman 387]

Franzen can't physically match anyone in the league......

Maybe Gerbe, maybe.

Ugh this powerplay was terrible, Filpulla at least had the right idea in getting the puck to the net.

And there's the penalty, nice job Mursak. Dumb penalty to take in the neutral zone.

[brett 1,029]

is this the feeling the islanders fans feel every game?

[brandon27 111]

onto the PK here... pretty sure by the looks of things so far, we're about to be down 2...

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

No Lidstrom and no Holmstrom = no powerplay.

It'll take a while to replace that combination.

[gcom007 1,465]

Absolutely agreed. Can't depend on Howard alone.

And Howard's never been the best at managing rebounds. There's going to be no room for that this year with this defense.

[freshy 181]

We need to get it going. Don't they understand this season is a sprint to the finish?

A sprint to the finish I say.

This season is going to be a sprint to the finish..........

[gcom007 1,465]

And I'm not surprised at all...

[pvilleguru 65]

Well this period has been spectacular.

[brandon27 111]

Told ya's... PK means. goal opposition with this team tonight...

Down 2-0.

yikes...

Can we go back to the lockout?

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

And the sack of s*** scores against us.

I wish Bertuzzi would paralyze this guy.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Wow this team is pretty pathetic tonight.

[Carman 387]

Howard hung out to dry, we need someone to step up.

[edicius 3,269]

No chance for Jimmy. He did everything he could. Defense and special teams are garbage.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

Good god is this bad

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Somehow I knew they would score.....

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Wow this team is pretty pathetic tonight.

They're tired from all the hockey we've played lately.

[Danielsm 244]

Well, this has been lovely. To make it worse, Elliott isn't even in net so I get NOTHING from this game so far.
