gdt 12/28 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Panthers 3

[frankgrimes 1,836]

No Butt Pats for you.

Jay Bowmeester and Alex Pietrangelo god I wish we could have such a pairing they are unreal.

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

of course, Kyle Quincey on the ice for a goal against...

But hardly his fault this time. Which is why +/- ratings are pretty much useless......

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Why pass that Dats take it to the net jezus

[joesuffP 1,746]

We apparently have the best coach in the NHL but we are known as a team that blows leads and can't handle pressure. We have a somewhat decent special team after 3 years of being complete garbage. Why is he regarded as a great coach I don't get it

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I leave the room to get some damn salsa so of course I came back to a tied game

[LeftWinger 5,153]

Why even bring that up?

Your man 'Diesel' got scored on before and he was actually in the play.

Ya well, before the game Quincey was a -13 (team worst) and Danny D was a +5. I bring it up becasue Quincey is a blow hole. He is by far our WORST defenseman.

Because of his accomplishments from 2003-2010, culminating in a Gold Medal.

Since then.......................not so much.

Because we keep making the playoffs despite having some of the worst defensemen in the NHL.

[joesuffP 1,746]

I'm really sick of Babcock

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

It wasn't the salsa then, because I was fetching some milk when they scored.

A coach can only do so much with a pretty average roster.

Do you do anything but complain?

[MotorCityMadness 388]

Why are Kindl and Quincey out in the last minute?

[Gusto 45]

Of course he is. But he's also our UNLUCKIEST defenseman. If there was any justice in +/-, Jurco would take everyone else's minus except maybe Kronwall, who looked like he was skating with lead boots.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Being an easy team to play against every year is bad coaching. Having a team identity being soft, timid and scared is bad coaching

[Aznknight 139]

I'm not surprised at the score

[joesuffP 1,746]

I believe this roster is capable of being tops in the conference. Play to your strengths and dress the right guys. Babcock keeps putting guys in a position to fail

[TheXym 2,606]

The Wings are due to win a third period. Come out focused and driven, kick the Panthers in the yambags.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

It wasn't the salsa then, because I was fetching some milk when they scored.

Maybe it was the infamous deadly milk/salsa combo that created a wormhole in the universe into which our lead was jettisoned...

[TheXym 2,606]

Another thought, how much have the 24/7 cameras been a distraction to the guys? Plus, the myriad injuries as well.

That, or... ancient aliens.

Maybe all of the LGW scotch drinkers need to pour themselves a dram of single malt for the third?

Both coaches already said that the cameras are a distraction and that's why they've bee banned once things started to get ugly, but the fac t of the matter is that this edition has been streaky as hell since the beginning of the season.

I hope Kenny is finally using financial muscle and offersheets some guys that could help this team in the offseason.

Can't wait until we have a healthy roster so everyone can stop blaming this pathetic play on injuries.

Maybe it being an Olympic year as well is also a factor, since the Wings have so many potential Olympians? Not saying they are mailing it in, but maybe they are "conserving a bit" for the longer haul than usual?

[sjr2012 439]

i figured it would be 4-2 but still don't know which way I think we need to just come out pissed off in the 3rd

I DON'T HAVE ANY

But I do have some Atwater Dirty Blonde that's pretty tasty
