kronwall cant handle the new responsibility 

He hasn't got new responsibility.  He was an A last year too.

kylef****** quincey again...

 

get this guy off the ice... thats 4 tonight.  right?

First star:  Jimmy Howard

Second and third stars: The left and right breasts of the chick behind Babcock.

 

I'm a straight chick and couldn't care less about boobs, but at least it's been something fun to talk about during this mess.

 

I always notice when the defense sucks, everyone gives sympathy credit to the goalie. Sure he had a ton of shots on him but on three breakaways, you'd hope he could stop one of them at least. I'm not blaming him for anything but he wasn't much of a step ahead of the rest of the team like everyone is trying to make him out to be. This team, all-around, has sucked tonight, including Howard. He's just starting where he left off as he was pretty damn bad in the playoffs last year as well.

Wtf was E doing there..get your stick in the lane instead of attempting to look like a goalie. wow

St Louis could put the 4th line out on the powerplay  and still score.

Hey who misses Lids? The penalty kill is just as good as last season!

Is Renney managing special teams?

Good thing i'm at work right now.  I'd have probably destroyed my new 60" plasma by now.

Watched a few highlights from other games. They are starkly different. I know we love hyperbole in bad games, but the Wings honestly look like a minor league team. Even the stars look like rookies. Holy crap.

[Hockeytown0001]

Wheee. 

[GoWings1905]

Does anyone blame Nick?

Honestly, the writing was on the wall the past few years and especially in the Nashville series. It's only one game, though I think it's pretty clear the Red Wings are in transition. Time for Holland to finally acknowledge that and inject the few talented young players in the system that are NHL ready or close to see what they have.

Hitchcock is running up the score.

 

Babcock nees to goon it up.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80]

This entire team has it's head up it's ass.  When you lack overall talent as well, it's a pathetic combination.

 

The NHL needs to institute a running clock when one team is up by 5 goals, just to get bulls*** games like this over.  If someone had a pair they'd be fighting right now but they don't - the Wings are WAYYY too soft to play in this league right now.

It's the 80's all over again.

 

The mid to late 80s were fun because they had heavyweights like Probert and Kocur, plus plenty of other guys who would drop the gloves and throw big hits.  Plus there was the young superstar Stevie Y. 

 

This team doesn't really have any of those components.  I'm not sure what its identity is really. 

[kherty]

Would be nice if Babcock would actually get a little pissed.  He never looks like he gives a s***...

[GMRwings1983]

Jackman is lucky the ref stepped in there.

 

Franzen would have dropped him.

[GoWings1905]

Somebody beat that POS Jackass down please.

I know what it's identity is - Tissue paper soft.

[turbowhistle86]

This is like watching a monkey rape a coconut....only less entertaining. On a side note, that's the most energy Franzen has exerted all night.

It's just one game, but its all the same habits from last year, only worse. Lazier, no hustle, no people in front of the net, no hitting, no pressure. No scoring. Only one game, this could be a playoff team, but its not a Cup winning team.
