Read my post about him and Smith on the previous page.  

 

Some big loss.  

[WINGS & FLOW]

Datsyuk's shot never would've went in had the puck not first been blessed by the benevolent spirit of the Mule.

Yes sir

[Hockeytown0001]

Anyone know who is getting the nod in goal tomorrow?

Howard = average... in Bizarro World.

[evilmrt]

Won the game but lost a d-man:

 

 

Helene St. James‏@HeleneStJames

Kyle Quincey suffered injury to cheek when hit by puck. Out indefinitely. #RedWings

 

Is this real life??

[cusimano_brothers]

Is Jeff Petry available? He's a goal scorer.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

I wonder if Quincey will come back with a visor.

[RedWingsRox]

Sick OT goal ... 

[Nightfall]

Considering this team passes like a Kia on the Autobahn this year, I’d say our standards here are pretty low. Hence “great pass by Franzen”. 

 

This.  There are 5 people on the team that could deliver a pass like that and only 3-4 of them could actually catch the pass and put it in.  Franzen + Dats = Goal!

 

BTW, Dats played with Franzen today and finally broke out of his slumber.  Everyone here wanted to see Dats with someone besides Cleary and Abdelkader.  He was with Franzen for probably half of his shifts.

He frustrates me as much as everyone else, but if that had been Cleary or Abdelkader in Mule's spot on that play, the puck would have been dumped into the corner.

On Datsyuk's goal?

I only saw the highlights so maybe I missed something? But if you guys are talking about the pass at center ice that was something anyone on the team could've done.

Great move and shot by Dats though.

 

I think it was more the awareness to cut to the middle and wait until Pav created a passing lane.

 

THAT is something most guys on this team WOULDN'T do.

[Wings10]

Whoa Wings won this game   Maybe I should shut the tv off more after 2 periods.

[puckbags]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...effed if I can figure this team out.  The 1st 2 periods were us at our worst...playing on the outside..too fancy..then in the 3rd we got pucks to the middle of the ice and got some shots on net...and some luck..I like luck.  Dats is the best player on this team but in my opinion Jimmy is the MVP

[Vladifan]

I think Datsyuk is really missing Bert. I can imagine them two being the weird combination of friendship within the locker room. Bert being all stern but his joke side, pasha with his quiet but joke side. Bert mimic's his shootouts and tries to one up it. Playing on the same line, produced together, several celebration hugs  . The loveship between them is gone! Pasha misses his Bert!

I'd like to think you're right.

True. True.

It wasn't really intended so much as a slam on Mule, just wondered if I missed something else before the highlight. And that goal was 90% Datsyuk.

The biggest thing Mule brought to that play was patience with the puck, which goalscorers tend to have more of then most guys.

[Crymson]

Cleary - Andersson - Abdelkader wasn't half bad as a shutdown line.

 

That said, I wish that Tatar would replace Nyquist. Tatar is NHL-ready, Nyquist is not.

[heyfolks]

I enjoyed glancing through pages 10+.  Eff youuu. F***, malarky, is Mule overweight? Howard has horrible rebound control,  very creative Cleary with Pavel, and my favorite, this D passes like a Kia on the autobahn.

 

I think we all agree Pasha's legend is growing.  I enjoy every game he plays.

 

Howard was, again, sensational.

 

Fil - Mickey insists on it and I can't disagree, he hasn't missed a beat.  A contract year will do that.

 

Hank & Brunner - they are turning the puck over, not in the right spot, etc.  They need SOMETHING! < now THAT'S coaching!

 

Tootoo - Everyone can be bested, accept Anderson Silva.  Mike Brown is your weakness.  Skate on by.

 

OK, now far be it for me to stop the complaint fest on this group.  I still see them in the postseason, and I like the top 6 on D.... so I will bash them to shreds! 

 

Smith -This kid plays tryout hockey.  Give the puck up, make the pass, support, etc.  < He is the most frustrating guy on D for me to watch.  He has the tools, but he either has severe myopia or an ego that requires two helmets.

 

Kronner - you are getting beat, making bad passes and not hitting a SOUL.  Rather than focus on improving your skill set, crush someone.  The adreneline of fight or flight will take care of the rest, but good night Kindl has the best D hit of the season... KINDL!

 

Kindl - Let them drop into the sack kid.   Babcock can't literally whip you.  The guy skates through the neutral zone with fear, not of a crushing hit, but of a mistake.   Painful to watch.  Last night the guy did the same drop pass again and again and again and again, literally that many times.  Drop passes are one step above dump and chases on the PP.  You see the pass, but you don't make it.  MAKE IT .. or not, but efffing try.  < It just struck me, maybe Kindl's nickname should not be Kuba it should be TULL.   Why?  Whenever he is ourt there  he reminds of the lyrics, " skating away on the thin ice of a new day." 

 

Lash - you get beat on the outside like a returned runaway slave.  I would tell you to get faster, but that is like telling the Show Pony to get tougher.

 

Quincey - Kindl was given the ridiculous "almost made the roster at 18 label" which is bad enough because of the implied skill set but you sir, have a real issue.  The Wings gave up a #1 pick for you.  Forget the Wings history with #1's no one will recall McCollum, Wallin, Max, Yan etc.  NO sir, you cost the Wings eerrrr, hhhmmmm, welllllll,, the next Sheahan, Smith or Kindl!  Soft, out of position and no offense.

 

Ericsson - Babcock said you were Pronger w/o the nasty stuff.  You ain't. I recall all the hype about your slapshot.  Sure, if this were golf hockey and you were Happy Gilmore we would put it on a tee and give you all the time you like to shoot.  However, every team knows the forward can drop between the circles and still get to you before you shoot.  Try the nasty stuff.

Fractured cheek bone.

Edmonton sucks.

Edmonton sucks.

 

Uh, OK. What do you mean?
