Holy sweet s***. Buffalo deserved ZERO points that game. ZERO!!!!!!

Instead they get two.

I love how Goose has ONE move but it usually works

If by usually you mean that was the first time he's scored a Shootout goal in the nhl, sure

[hankzet40 233]

Yep hate the skillz comp. Almost always an automatic L.

[Aznknight 139]

Lol we cant beat garbage teams

[VM1138 1,921]

Liked how Zetterberg made us all think 'Not another slapper' but then actually tried something new,haha.

Crappy loss. Gotta be nearly perfect just to keep pace with the handful of teams ahead of us. They all never seem to lose.

[e_prime 1,936]

Well, in my predictions for the month of November this is not how I figured the outcome for this one.

Really should have been able to take the Sabres to task and we let them hang around. Despite any positives from the game. This one was a stinker.

[kipwinger 8,524]

Did Tomas Tatar break both his arms prior to the shootout?

[Echolalia 2,961]

How does Zetterberg get the nod over Tatar (or anyone) in the shootout...

Anyway, the Wings got exactly what they deserved. Half-ass a game for 50 minutes and there's no reason you should walk away with two points.

so is howard the worst shootout goalie in the NHL?

[brett 1,029]

Z in the shootout does not work what the f***

thats terrible one of the worst teams in the league playing on a back to back and you get a PP in OT and cant finish it?!? WOW

[Euro_Twins 4,476]

It's ok L.A. lost to Carolina, so it could be worse I guess.

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

They really need to think about using a different goalie just for the shootout, Howard is horrible at them. Did the wings seriously just lose to buffalo when they were on the second night of a back to back?!

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Pretty disappointing to not show up against the Sabres. At least we got a loser point, hopefully we go back to playing the way we have so far this year against OTT. Also, Franzen is lazy and he sucks.

[VM1138 1,921]

It amazes me that Howard is so bad in shootouts but pretty good on breakawaus.

I'm very nervous about November. Quite a few mediocre to bottom feeding opponents.

A couple seasons ago he was among the best goalies in the shootout. Now he's forgotten what to do.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Beat the Kings and lose to the Sabres.

Top line was fantastic, fourth line awful and the other two were decent, but need to start scoring goals consistently.

Disappointing loss given the Sabres played last night and the Wings controlled most of the game. Hate to give away points against bad teams.

Didn't say I meant specifically in the shootouts, he does it on breakaways a lot too mr smartass.

[SimonSin 192]

Unreal. It's amazing how some games go. It's never a good thing when you let teams hang around, especially bad ones. I'm not surprised one bit, I knew this game was going to go this way. Still a terrible loss, already 3 OT/SO losses this year.

[TheXym 2,606]

Frustrating to have the goal called off then lose in the shootout. They need to bury their chances and not let teams hang around.

Well then.

Wait a minute, thought Howard was good at this Shoot-out stuff...Damn Sam

The worst part is it barely looks like he's trying. He's nowhere near saving most penalty shots.

[redwing92 1]

Howard was awful in that shootout.

At least we got a point out of that so it's not as bad as it could have been but it's still a very bad loss.
