derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) We could have, if we could have converted on those 7 powerplays. They could play three additional full periods against San Marinos (jep, thats actually a country) national Team with a man advantage tonight and wouldn't score. There just are those nights, can't do much about it. At least we got one for BoS sensible Bunghole.

arag 308 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Did not see the game entirely , but it looks like a embarrassing performance by the Wings. Way too many turnovers. The score could have been worse. Edited November 17, 2014 by arag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barabbas16 499 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 It's always nice and fitting to follow the best performance of the year with the worst. No useful takeaways from the game for Detroit... other than everyone don't ever play like that again. When scoring 3 or more goals: 6 - 0 - 2 When scoring less than 3 goals: 2 - 4 - 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) People acting like Montreal are the superior team. They’re on a hot streak. One thing I’ll miss if Babcock leaves. His ability to simplify during post game interviews. “We didn’t do much good tonight" Right now, I’d love to play the Habs first round. They don’t scare me at all. Tonight, Detroit played like hot garbage. For example, Montreal didn’t shut Datsyuk down. Pavel just didn’t bring it. Not tonight.

When scoring 3 or more goals: 6 - 0 - 2 When scoring less than 3 goals: 2 - 4 - 3 If I remember right this has been the case for awhile. The 48 game season had a crazy good record for us when scoring three goals or more. Offense has been the issue and will continue to be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When scoring 3 or more goals: 6 - 0 - 2 When scoring less than 3 goals: 2 - 4 -I Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t the same be said for most teams? If you score 3+ you’re probably playing pretty good and you’ll probably win more often than not. If you’re scoring 2 or less, you’re probably not playing as well and you’ll probably lose more often than not. It’s like saying, “when I don’t sleep well, 80% of the time, I’m tired the next day”.

Sure that's true. But don't we have a coach that specifically encourages a low scoring strategy? If you know that it's statistically a less successful way to win games, maybe you shouldn't do everything you can to encourage that result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you know that it's statistically a less successful way to win games, maybe you shouldn't do everything you can to encourage that result. Ya that's kind of the point I think. I guess another defense minded team like the kings could be a comparison? And everyone says the pens are offensive minded. So how do their stats look when scoring three goals or more.

Ram 240 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 This game was a stinker. Hopefully pumps the boys up for the road trip, especially against some opponents the Wings should definitely beat if they're on. LGW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I've said it last season and I'll say it again..the Habs are carried by an elite goalie known as Price. I highly doubt they'll make it far come real season time. Other than Prust - their by far most likable player - they're soft, small and not a hardworking group at all.

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 This makes me more upset considering the point gap should be less had it not been for the potentially two points the NHL stole from Detroit in Montreal last month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
