GDT 1/20 GDT: Blues 4 @ Red Wings 1

[dirtydangles 1,328]

Problem is - whenever Z is out even strength they know we are going to Z - its pretty obvious where their guys need to isolate

[Z and D for the C 712]

Worst 5 on 3 in the world.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Get it down low!

[dirtydangles 1,328]

f***

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Figures we can't even score on a 5 on 3...or 5 on 4

how many passes has nyquist had pop over his stick the last 5 games?

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Trade for John Erskine, to have a quarterback on the powerplay.

[TheXym 2,606]

They certainly killed that PP.

[Bryguy 103]

Since when did Samuelsson become the red wings shooting instructor, can anyone hit the corners anymore!?

Doesn't help when he misses the net on a great chance. He needs to step it up.

wow

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Why do they pimp National when we all know American/Lafayette is where it's at?

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Get it down low!

Yup, get a pass in the crease for a tap in. Yzerman to Shanahan style.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

I'm glad we let Tatar, Jurco and Sheahan get a chance on that PP... At least they shoot and drive the net.

What a waste. Our PP without the Alfie one timer is garbage. Not to even mention no Datsyuk.

[themcityblues 249]

Enough with thef****** obvious "do nothing but pass to Kronwall" strategy that we saw on the last 5-on-3 (which was probably the worst 5-on-3 I've ever seen in my life). They need to move the puck more and challenge the defensemen. The fact that this team cannot score on any 5-on-3's suggests to me that the offensive coordinator is telling the players the wrong thing. The talent was out on the ice, but the strategy ("Pass to Kronner everytime!") was retarded. Jesus do something creative.

Helm screwed that up badly.

[Dabura 12,207]

Remember when we had Datsyuk, Alfredsson and Ericsson? Those were the days.

[joesuffP 1,746]

That's a great 5 on 3 strategy let our two extra man be as far back from the net in their zone as possible. Point shots with no traffic and miss the net. Babcock is a genius

[RedWang 422]

Its obvious they are looking for Z and Z only on the PP, the blues know who to play heavy on and when to collapse. Too predictable. And no Tats at all during those PP's over Eaves? WRONG!

not really we werent much better then

I agree. I miss being the 4/5 seed.

Having to fight for a playoff spot sucks.

[rick zombo 3,739]

So. 5-3. I know. Let’s put Eaves out there!!!!! Nice job. Now it’s your turn Bert!!!!!! Good work.

f*** me. No Jurco, no Tatar.

[gowings00 545]

Don't lump Smith in with those 2...

It's not as if I think he won't be better(and is looking better) but having three defensemen that take bad penalties constantly and turn the puck over as much as they do are killing us.

[joesuffP 1,746]

This is why helm didn't want to play hockey
