themcityblues 249 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 We take the lamest shots on the pp. we pass it around - realize we haven't shot then take some useless shot from the point that gets blocked. We need an end game on the pp. At least some sort of goal - like trying to get it low or moving the goalie laterally. right now we are just treading water. Exactly. Is it dumb players, dumb coaches or both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 The worst thing is that I think we'd be just as bad if we did this. Weiss and Ouelett are +WAR players in comparison to Kindl and Nesty. It doesn't matter how you slice it, they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aflac9262 211 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 F Howard haters He's been decent tonight, but nothing to really boast about. He's being outplayed by a backup. You do know he's already allowed 3 goals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 This game is a giant coaching error. Baffling. Helm defines our top 6 with a grinder missing an open net and gets put out to start the power play on the very next shift. We have a guy who doesn't have a career NHL point that averages more PP minutes then our young offensive defensemen. A power play that is completely broken yet the lineup is set in stone. The only comfort in losing like this is that Babs only makes a change after an embarrassing loss 1 themcityblues reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 So Pitts PP is what our PP is suppose to look like? Looks like the same style but when they move the puck they start to move in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings87 1,290 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 He is not getting outplayed. Pitt has had A LOT of scoring chances. We well....don't.... The amazing thing about Howard is that he stopped some crazy good chances by Pittsburgh and allowed 2 relatively soft goals. That's why as a goalie he can be frustrating. He's a good goalie but has a tendency to allow some weird goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 Honestly, I don't want to do this anymore with Babcock. He is just so frustrating and doesn't make any smart lineup choices. I'm not excited to make Babcock the highest paid coach in the NHL that busts my nuggets every night when he puts helm and abby in the top 6 and juggles the d pairs every night. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Learn that babs. 1 themcityblues reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingFanInLA 9 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 This team is a tough watch tonight. None of the forwards look all that good, and the lines simply aren't meshing, with the exception of the 4th line. I really can't see how Wiess sucks so bad that he can't crack this lineup. The offense is fricking terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingfan13 44 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 WTH...I just started the game and my DVR only recorded 19min. I hit the guide for the channel it was one me the Wings broadcast is not there anymore.
