gdt 3/6 GDT : Flames 5 at Red Wings 2

[sleepwalker 512]

After the nice start, to then completely piss away the game and give up 5 ******* unanswered goals??? Are you ******* serious?

Absolutely ******* pathetic.

I'm disgusted right now.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I'm gonna go burn some incense to spiritually cleanse myself after that abomination of a game.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Embarrassing loss tonight. No excuses for it. Need to play a full 60 one of these nights, waste of a game in hand on Tampa.

This team is weird in that regard. They have blown way too many leads lately. They seem to do better coming back from a slow start, which is another bad habit, but at least it gets them focused. Eventually they are going to have to compete for closer to 60 minutes if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs.

How do you get 4 blocked shots. Defense was completely awful. Kronwall the worst player on the ice from puck drop

Kronwall is just our Phaneuf

[chaps80 1,591]

That's what separates him from the top goalies in the league. Consistency.

Yep. Some games you can see he has the potential to be an elite goalie in this league, then a stinker like this right after. Sure is frustrating to watch. Not much can be done though I guess. He's our #1 heading into the playoffs.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Howard needs to face a lot of shots. He's just like Osgood was. If he's not busy he's not good

[rick zombo 3,739]

Wings dominated from puck drop until the bouncy rubber man kicked out a massive rebound and got caught 12 feet out of his net. Lundqvist and Price don’t do that. Gave Calgary life.

I can see that. Gets too complacent, then when the shots come, hes scrambling.

That was the turning point for sure. I dunno what the hell he was doing that far out. Then no one could get in front of the shot to bail him out, even though there were two guys right there.

Yeah, certainly not a lot of positive things to say about anyone in a Wings jersey after that point, but Howard had an especially poor game.

[Aznknight 139]

lol. I had a feeling we were due.

Oh well. Onto the next

[RedWingsRox 614]

Disappointed ... didn't watch game, just looked at boxscore. Looked like we put in an effort in 2nd period but they came up with 2 goals ??!!

Oh well, only positive is that I prefer to see Calgary in top 8 than LA.

I'm going to file this loss under the, you can't win them all moniker.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Pretty much deserved to lose against the rags and we deserved to win this one. But geez was Kronwall terrible

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Big E should be in

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 3m3 minutes ago

Ericsson said he's ready to play tonight. Hurt shoulder on Wednesday, sat out practice as precaution.

The Wheel Deal ‏@Bill_Roose 2m2 minutes ago Detroit, MI

#RedWings Jonathan Ericsson said he'll play tonight, but added it's up to the coaching staff to put him in tonight.

Would have been better if he didn't play.

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Our top paring really had an offnight and Howard didn't look sharp either. It happens, forget this one and bring on Boston.

[gcom007 1,465]

I had a feeling they'd lose this game after beating the Preds and the Rangers. Was hoping to be wrong when we went up early, but alas...

[trule23 119]

another 2 goal lead down the drain, that gets pretty frustrating

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

Well, I was at this game. Between Howard and Ericcson I was terrified anytime it was in our zone more than 3 seconds.

[joesuffP 1,746]

4 blocked shots in an entire game is a pitiful job in our zone by forwards and defense.

[puckloo39 5,686]

A team loss, this one was. Howie wasn't sharp -- as he was with the Rangers where he was a huge part of why they won, and didn't deserve to, particularly. Sunday will be better, betcha. Go, Wings!!

[Andy Pred 48 337]

Howie too hot and cold to be a genuine #1 for me.

Goodness, how many photos of this event are there? Is there a video too? Some sketches, a narration by James Earl Jones?

Morgan Freeman, actually. Trust me, you DON'T want to see the underwater cam they used...

Edit: And WHY does it look like he has no armpit hair?! Everything about this picture makes me want to pour acid on my face

Let us all give thanks that we do not play the Flames again this season, so this image can fade from our memories.
