gdt 2/6 GDT: Red Wings 3 at Panthers 1

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I bet your bunghole doesn't feel too good after that one.

Nice play by Upshall knocking it down though. Gotta watch the clock and get back in time to defend that.

My bunghole is in need of some effing Prep H after that bulls*** goal.

How do you not go down to make a save that's ball hockey goaltending

[Ekmanc 586]

Did Howard even try to save that one?

[dat's sick 1,002]

Kind of a terrible play on the blueline by Dekeyser. I like the kid but he's not ready to be on the PP imo.

We looked alright in the period overall. A bit low on energy, but we could have scored a few if everyone didn't have stonehands around the net and Thomas didn't think every game against us is a Game 7.

Pav looked good, should have had 2 assists already. He isn't skating very hard but whether that's a sign he's hurting or just not quite having his legs is anyone's guess.

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

lol 10-1 SOG and Jimmy can't save the 2nd shot.

Its a breakaway. Who cares if it was only 1 of 2 shots its a breakaway. Your reaching to try and blame Howard for something. Helms miss was a far bigger blunder.

I hate the florida feed damn it anyone have the det pm me

Honestly, the FS-D one probably isn't worlds better, Wings bias or not. I've come to accept that it's basically Mickey Redmond saying the same things he says every night and laughing a lot.

I hate when Howie gives up a break away cus he gets harpooned here on the boards.

[roboturner 562]

Howie boasting a solid 50% Save Percentage. Couldn't make a bailout save for his life.

[Dabura 12,207]

I think the bottom line is that Dale Tallon knows how to put together a good anti-Wings team, and he's doing it again with the Florida Panthers.

Yea I prefer to avoid the wings broadcast, I actually like the florida feed, its considered one of the best around while the wings one is always ranked towards the bottom.

Ever notice how we are never on the other end of this type of "misfortune"?

[joesuffP 1,746]

Howard didn't move. The shot was along the ice and he didn't go down. Terrible goaltending and once again a goalie known for giving up untimely goals. He really knows how to deflate his team

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

By whom?

Florida broadcasting judges obviously

Wings-Kings, Kronwall winner. That alone earned us about five years of bad luck.

[JasonNewEra 84]

All I gotta say right now.

[joesuffP 1,746]

If Howard had attempted a save on a breakaway I'd be like oh well bad luck but he stood still like somebody unplugged his controller

Dunno about that. Most of those "rankings" are based off fan votes who just hate on the Wings do to there success. Ken Daniels is considered one of the best play by play guys in the game.

He shouldn't be on the pp.

There's been talk that smith isn't on the pp just to keep his value down for when they resign him.

And he's a rookie.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Smith is signed for another year. You're telling me they won't put him on the pp now cause in a gear and a half they may have to give him slightly more money? That's just silly, how would that help us?

I seriously doubt they would hold someone back when they are desperate for wins. Plus, it's not like Smith is adding value to a future contract with his play.

You might be onto something.

[Dabura 12,207]

One thing I really don't understand about this team is why we can't ever have a complete team game. If we're outshooting the opposition 10-1 and pressuring like mad in the o-zone, we're gonna let in a softy. If we're getting outshot 1-10 and none of our skaters have come to play, our goalie's playing the game of his life. Good offense, bad defense. Good defense, bad offense.

Howard is currently ranked 32 in wins for goalies (with 11) and 40th! for save percentage (.913). Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres (yes those terrible, terrible sabers) is ranked 25th in wins (with 14!) and 20th in save percentage (.923)

Its just not good enough

And he must be getting money under the table for all of these late period goals. I've never seen so many goals scored with under a minute left than I have since Howard took over.

Ha I'm not saying i necessarily think its true or not, I just said i seen it being talked about.

But he was on the ice with deke, so it nullifies any point anyway.
