where are all those goals they were scoring over seas?  Shot on goal, never a bad thing, Wings!

[derblaueClaus]

And shots. Outshot 8-1 so far. 

Absolutely agreed. Can't depend on Howard alone.

Uh, you think Franzen can physically match Backes there Mick? 

 

Only in height and weight.  Not really in anything to do with physical play. 

[Electrophile]

Nice defense. 

 

With no Lidstrom anymore, expect a lot of this to happen.  Hopefully it won't cripple us, though.

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

[edicius]

Our PP is going to be ranked 30th by season's end, yeesh.

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

 

Too many scrubs in the lineup.  

[GoWings1905]

This is a clinic.

Red and white not doing the schooling either.

[brandon27]

Another pathetic powerplay...  yikes.

 

Wheres the energy?!?!

[gcom007]

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.

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

[joesuffP]

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

[Jasper84]

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

[Carman]

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]

is this the feeling the islanders fans feel every game?

[brandon27]

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

[GMRwings1983]

No Lidstrom and no Holmstrom   =   no powerplay.  

 

 

It'll take a while to replace that combination.  

[gcom007]

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]

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..........
