sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Dats has missed the net more this year than his entire career. At least tonight, Dats missing the net is a good point as well. I agree with the consensus, Howie lost this one for us tonight, but lest we not forget Dats had a couple great chances as well tonight where he just straight up missed the net.

Already dreaming of Mother Russia no doubt. Getting him back should be priority number one. Even ahead of firing Holland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 We're outshooting them 36-17... I really don't think that's the problem. I'm talking about their overall play in this shortened season. it is a consistent, STUPID, fixable problem They pass too much, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I just feel really bad for Dan Cleary. This could be his last chance to win another Cup, and his teammates and Howard let him down. Dan Cleary is the worst player on the Red Wings Edited April 18, 2013 by ben_usmc 1 8 Legged RedWing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Was it Jimmy Howard that failed to capitalize on all of those scoring chances? Did Jimmy Howard have a TERRIBLE line change on that PP that left no one behind the goal line except Jimmy, Steve Begin, and the trapezoid? Did Jimmy Howard throw the puck into his feet from Big E's stick? It is not Jimmy Howard's fault the Red Wings lack a legitimate scoring threat. Did Jimmy Howard forget to drink his coffee and look extremely slow and disinterested on both goals? You're in a playoff race. You have to be on your toes, never taking your eyes off the puck, thinking at 100 mph about the next play. Not waddling around behind the net like a baby penguin expecting something to happen.

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Dan Cleary is the worst player on the Red Wings He's getting up there in age, no doubt, but if the rest of our guys had the heart of Cleary, we'd be in first place right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say...it seemed very strange how he made NO EFFORT AT ALL to get back into the net on the last goal. I mean, WTF? Edit: To be clear, I'm a Howard supporter and I'm happy with his new contract. But not impressed on that play at all. Edited April 18, 2013 by Zetts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess...it seems to me like getting people crashing the net would be more important than throwing even more low quality chances at the net. I find them much too passive on offense (see: Filppula).

Edit: To be clear, I'm a Howard supporter and I'm pleased with his new contract. But not impressed on that play at all. Not only that, but the entire reason it looked like he lost track of the puck to begin with was because he was waiving his arms around about something down ice and wasn't even paying any attention to the puck whatsoever, which obviously led to him him whiffing on it and giving up that horrible goal.
