GDT 2/11 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Penguins 4

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Most of the comments here are embarassing. I wish a lot of people would either play hockey at a somewhat high/competitive level, or shut up a bit.

What has everyone here been crying for forever?

"Let the kids play"

"Get rid of Franzen"

"Bench Cleary"

Etc, etc.

Guess what? All of those are happening and still no one is happy. Hockey has ups and downs, you are not going to win every game and sometimes you're going to get smoked. It's a curve, especially with teams like Detroit who have players who are still learning what it takes. You don't figure out the NHL in a couple games, in a stretch of games or sometimes even in a season. It takes time. They're learning.

You think Pittsburgh is in a different class than Detroit(someone said this)? They have more talent, arguably, but they don't have leadership, heart, compete level and usually no work ethic. Have you watched all the games PIT has collapsed in? Have you taken a look at their record against their division?

I get that this is an internet forum and the point is to discuss hockey and the game at hand, but it doesn't HAVE to be a hyperbole tabloid styled bitchfest. It could be real discussion with thought, not ripping your favorite team to shreds because they didn't "punch Cindy in the face!"

I for one would be happier if they punched Crosby in the face once or twice.

Nailed it. It's the same on every fan forum though.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Of course they have to call one on us.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

Horrible play all around by Ericsson.

[LeftWinger 4,936]

so, you can't stick check anyone anymore? So NOT a penalty...

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

Wtf send Sutter to the box

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

That should have been a high stick on Z but of course we can't have another penalty against s***tsburgh.

[cnot19 191]

Ericssons stick hit him

That was Ericssons stick.

Amen.

During our win streak these boards were DEAD, we started losing to Tampa and the board was as active as its been in a while. Tonight were getting dominated, and the site is abuzz with talks of how bad we are.

Its depressing as hell.

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Wonder if Jimmy gets the 3rd period nod or if they let him rest one more and keep going with Mraz.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

Oof. This game is making me have flashbacks to last year's playoff series vs. Boston. Getting physically outplayed, rookies look like crap, defense crap, etc.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Ooops my bad lol

Ha. No worries.

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

So stick check someone...penalty. Throw a player to the ice after he shot the puck in an EMPTY net...no penalty

Time to bring Cleary to provide leadership

Might not be a bad idea

...this is no time to panic.

So you think these boards are more fun when nobody posts and everybody who does talks about how great we are?

No. What’s fun is watching you and Leftwinger dutch rudder one another over how much this team sucks.

Some middle ground would be nice. You know, actual level-headed hockey discussion instead of this doom-porn. Jesus christ.

Jerkwater, USA. More like Knee-jerkwater USA wha?

If you wanna twist what I'm saying into that, then be my guest.

[joesuffP 1,746]

When re defense plays like this we don't have a chance. Forwards have been careless but the defense is consistently getting skated into the ground with no pushback

[Dynheart 42]

Well then, it's decided. Let's make the site more exciting! The Red Wings are decent, and aren't even in the same league as TBL, Pens, Habs, etc etc...after 1 game. Howard sucks. Babcock needs to go. Holland needs to go. Blow. It. Up.

What bothers me the most is that Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and the rest of the leadership group don’t look like they give many s***z about this game. Who knows, maybe they don’t?

And Tatar is invisible.

TANK IT!!

At least when we s*** the bed, it's collective

My pulse is racing. Tell me more.
