gdt 12/29 GDT - Red Wings 2 at Bruins 5

[MotorCityMadness 388]

Oh well move on to the next game

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Wow. Sheer domination in every aspect. Slow forwards, weak goaltending and soft defense. The opposite of Boston.

Our soft eurotrash style doesn't match up well with this team. Better hope we don't face them in the playoffs.

Then again, we don't matchup well with Montreal either.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Why has Weiss not replaced Franzen on Sheahan's line yet? I don't think Franzen could play any worse than he has for the last 20+ games.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

45 shots allowed won't win you any games.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Wings give up 45 SOG.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I swear

If they ruin my NYE I'm punching each and every person affiliated with this team in the yambag

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

As every loss this one hurts. But they showed some effort and with a little bit more puck luck could have won this one. It's not that the Bruins dominated us entirely.

[joesuffP 1,746]

I don't know if its the defense roster as a whole or just how truly terrible Quincey, Lashoff and sometimes Smith are but that was some of the most embarrassing hockey I've watched this year. Ericsson and Kronwall-steady but not great, but ericsson is coming off one of the worst games I've ever seen him play, expected way more out of him.

Jesus, or just do what everyone else will... Drink.

For some reason, I always think of this song when I think of Franzen. He's our Syd Barrett.

[datterberg1340 626]

another game where we took an entire period off and didn't seem to think it would matter

it'd be nice to be the team that holds onto a 2 goal lead for a change

hope we put together a full 60 min. effort on Wed, hate it when we lose on New Year's eve

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Could have had sole possession of the Atlantic tonight with a win.

Agreed. Mule has 1 goal in the month of December. And of his 7 goals, 4 were on the PP.

He's on pace to score 18 goals this season.

Franzen barely has more life than Syd at this point.

Ericsson is out of his depth on the top pairing, he is at best suited for 3rd pairing/PK duties only

[GoWings! 179]

No Lucic or Bergeron and we still got tossed around like rag dolls. Avoid this team in the playoffs at all costs.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Can't win games when you don't play for an entire period. The Wings better end that bad habit real quick with a ton of road games and tough opponents coming up the next two months. They played well in spurts, but need more intensity for 60 minutes on a consistent basis.

The defense is just sorry, though. That's a problem that can't be fixed with effort or starting on time. Ouellet needs to be up permanently and Holland has to get creative and make a move for a top four d-man after failing to for years. The Wings aren't getting to the next level with this crop of d-men.

It was boys amongst men out there. I don't even want to know if Lucic and Bergeron were in the line up. That was terrible. Boy this team just doesn't look good right now.

Clown shoes on a drunk baby giraffe. That's all I've got.

Had Lucic and Bergeron been in the lineup, the Wings probably would've won. This is how it tends to work with the Wings.

On a team with a tremendous defensive corps maybe. But honestly I think he'd be fine in more of a 2nd pairing role.

The blueline is thin on talent so everyone not named Kronwall is playing a little over their heads.

That's a good one.

I don't think so. Wings just can't compete with these big physical teams. That's the bottom line. They haven't beaten an above .500 team in a month. That was against the Rangers.

I know right. Top 5 in PP and PK and 6 points up on Boston.

This team sucks.

One of my favourite things though is how we can always count on you to swing by and ring the Illogical Bell of Doom.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

That's a good one.

I know, I laughed typing it out too. I'm desperately clinging to hope that at some point, he will make a trade worth a damn.
