gdt 12/7 GDT: Panthers 2 at Red Wings 1

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

They pressure the D with an agressive forecheck which creates problems for us getting the puck through the neutral zone. This is nothing new to us, I just wonder why it happens against crappy teams like the Panthers and not Boston for example.

[DatsyukToZetterberg 128]

Don't worry Babs, you've got the ready-made injury excuse for this one.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Tatar and Franzen the only forwards that look to pose any sort of threat offensively

[Ekmanc 586]

This is starting to get embarrassing.

[Gusto 45]

This team is aggressively terrible too often to do anything worthwhile this season.

What do you get out of posting essentially the exact same thing on every page of the GDT?

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Worst period of the season by far, Babs needs to get these idiots going in the intermission. We should be down by quite a few at this point.

[SensViking 20]

Is Alfie playing???

[gowings00 545]

Never seen a more "dominated" period. Lucky to be tied.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Well, periods don't get any worse then that. Gotta wake up and actually start to try if they want to get any points tonight. Gus has been great again tonight.

[DatsyukToZetterberg 128]

I'm still hung up on the fact that Dan Cleary is the only Red Wing in the goal column against the Florida Panthers.

We've seen a lot of them this year, this team just completely sleepwalked through another period.

[pucktividi 472]

Fortunately,Gustavsson is sharp.Otherwise would be 5-1 to Florida

[canadian wings fan 305]

we've got this have faith you clowns

15-8-7 is a terrible worthless record we have also.

[SimonSin 192]

This is ******* embarrassing. We look like the Devils from last night. This is ridiculous.

[WingsAlways 486]

Don't worry Babs, you've got the ready-made injury excuse for this one.

A more viable excuse would be "Well crap teams need wins too, it's our job to provide them"...

I'm not saying we suck, I'm saying that those who do have a good time playing us.

Since we've called up Nyquist and Tatar Ive seen the true potential from this team so I'm not as worried as last year.

[wings87 1,290]

While we haven't exactly sucked 15-8-7 is nothing to be proud of either.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Nyquist hasn't looked phenomenal lately but luckily Tatar has. Grind this out and get the win and then Datsyuk will come back

[GoWings! 179]

I think, in a game like this, the coach needs to start showing emotion. This is a massive letdown so far. Monster is really the only one looking sharp. Pretty sad.

Babcock really should put them together with Franzen. While it would hurt the other lines, especially the one that gets stuck with Bertuzzi, I think it would help us a ton offensively. Tatar and Nyquist's chemistry is crazy and they're both tenacious forecheckers.

Down our best offensive players, 4th in the east, 4 points behind first place in the East, 2 if we win tonight. What is the line of expectations here, anything less than first place is unacceptable regardless if Pav and Zett are down? I'm pretty damn proud of where this team sits considering the struggles of Howard and the injuries we've faced this season.

On top of it.. the game is tied. People are acting like we are losing 5-1 right now.

[RedWingsRox 614]

OK, so this isn't turning out as easy as I thought it'd be. Our offence better wake up in the 3rd.

[canadian wings fan 305]

fly me to the danger zonnne

weooo 3rd lets go wings time to rape the panthers
