The Twins! What a beauty!

[TheXym 2,606]

Datsyuk! There we go. The Todd had a nice chance before it as well.

[Wingnut in WA 86]

Seems like we're always the victim of bad situations, brain farts and breakdowns and never the benificiary.

The harder you work the more breaks seem to go your way. Like babs says hockey is a pretty fair game.

Hoping to see Mule get a goal tonight.

[canadian wings fan 305]

looking good offensively now boys

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Z to Dats again. great pass. great shot.

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Dats!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Keep the pressure on boys!

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Well as Mickey just said, it was a perfectly executed three on two. When a guy is driving hard to the net like that you've got to take him. If he'd have been floating a bit or hanging back then you can try and tie up two guys with positioning. But when he's coming hard like that you've got to slow him up, which Kindl did, and Wheeler made a hell of a pass to set up a hell of a shot for the third guy.

But my sole point to begin with was that not every goal scored against the wings is the result of a f*ck up by one of our guys. There doesn't always need to be a scapegoat. Sometimes the opposition just executes particularly well. They are professionals after all.

Agreed. They caught the Wings and executed it well.

Like I said, ideally Kindl could've played it differently but as I was typing it I also realize it's hard to be arguing that covering the guy driving right at the middle of the net is "wrong."

[DatsyukToZetterberg 128]

In the words of Mickey...Houdini's at it again!

[kipwinger 8,524]

What haroldsnepsts just said. I just watched the replay. Kronwall isn't taking the puck carrier he is blocking the passing lane to the front guy. And that leaves Kindl with the third guy.

And if he'd taken the third guy and Wheeler got the pass through to the guy driving the net, you'd be blaming Kindl for not taking that guy. Good pass, good shot, good play. Nobody to blame on that one.

[amato 3,210]

Well the good news is, we're doing great in their zone. Just need work on breakouts and can't give up odd man rushes.. not a bad game so far

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

I know you guys will probably get sick of me saying it, but the Wings need more guys driving hard to the net. So many rushes end up with the guys along the outside or pulling up short. Go to the net!

Agreed on that. It's pretty hard to defend a 3 on 2.

And if he'd taken the third guy and Wheeler got the pass through to the guy driving the net, you'd be blaming Kindl for not taking that guy. Good pass, good shot, good play. Nobody to blame on that one.

No, No don't worry, I'm not one of these users.

It really is pick your poison if the offensive team plays it right.

Kronner could have taken Little and essentially have made it a 2 on 1 where if they pass IS made to Ladd, Jimmy doesn't have to travel as far to make the save.

But like you said, it was just a really good hard pass that Little made no mistake on. Jimmy would have had to cheat to try to make the save.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

What happened to the shinpad assassin? Shoot the puck Sammy!

[TheXym 2,606]

The Jets scored a sweet goal, they deserve credit. Not really fair to blame anyone on it. Beautiful response to pick up the tying goal. Time to regroup during intermission and keep the pressure. Let's Go Wings!

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Pretty good period. Euro Twins are still consistently the only line that sustains offensive pressure. I wish Abby had better finishing skills because his energy is noticeable.

[wings87 1,290]

Would love to see us get the goalie to move a little before taking a shot.

Great pass by Z great goal by Pav.

[canadian wings fan 305]

It would be nice to see our dmen shoot a one timer on net every once in a while....it seems they always fan on it. Or Kindl blasts it 100mph but wide

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

The Wings will have great sucess if they skate a bit harder, and someone other then ZDB can score a goal. Based on the game so far I think it'll be Tatar or a defenseman.
