Shots didn't tell the story tonight. Not a great effort. It'd be great if Mike would bench one of the veterans to try and get the guys playing, but we all know that'd never happen. It's very "Leaf Fan" of me to think one or two injured players coming back will fix us, but I'm holding onto hope Helm will re-balance the lineup and hopefully get us out of this funk.

Well, I am going to need a lot of alcohol for these two upcoming ridiculous NOON starts back to back this weekend. Wings have not won in Phillie since 1997. All I can take away from that is, maybe it's our turn to win? I have to try and find something to take with me to these games. NBC on top of it. I am concerned.

So they have'nt won in Philly since the '97 cup? Crazy.

Infuriating how some teams are absolute ass against the rest of the league, but not against Detroit.

Probably cause we don't do well against teams that press hard and use their size to rough the wings up. Other teams can brush it off a lot easier

I'm shocked a Mrazek fan boy hates Howard. The Red Wings did not play well tonight -- I don't know where that is coming from. They won with Mrazek because they scored a ton of goals during his starts. Mrazek doesn't stop any of the three goals tonight either, so it's really a moot point. Unless he can magically make this defense competent in their own zone, changing goalies isn't going to affect much.

What is wrong with the Wings fans at the Joe? You should not be singing along about how your car is in the front yard and you're sleeping with your clothes on at the end of that game. You should be booing the home team that you paid money to watch play hockey, but instead they decided to half-ass it and mail in the game against a bottom feeder team.

This is completely theoretical and feel free to tell me I'm wrong but it seems to me the boys score more with Mrazek and Gus in net because they feel more confident and aren't as afraid to mix it up and try new plays. Yeah they score on Mrazek but he steals games for us. I'm not a Howard hater by any means but numbers and stats don't lie.

Mrazek has a great Glove he would've allowed one of those goals tonight, and even so the boys probably would've had 50 shots, but Jimmy is no rookie and this isn't the first game he wore his ass on his face this season look man I love the wings and I agree we don't have the best D but I think it's on par with Montreal Jimmy Howard is getting paid like an elite goalie yet he's mediocre in the shootout and always blows our leads quick, all I'm saying is he needs to step up his game or we need to unload that contract I wouldn't be as mad if he was making 4 mil

Sure, numbers and stats don't lie. Have you heard of save % or goals against average.?

Here's a theory... maybe they score more when Mrazek is in because they know he will let in more. That's a load of garbage, but so is your theory.

In fact I have, both of which don't mean jack s*** when it comes down to "W" or "L". Those are the only stats I care about.

Oh yeah, and your theory is sound...

I don't expect Howard to win the Vezina, however what I have a problem with is a goaltender making Vezina money and playing like ass night in and night out.

Mrazek's a first class puck moving goalie, and Howard's all three of the stooges when he plays the puck. That's an unbiased reason why the offense "could" be better with Petr in net.

Idc about the vezina I care about winning we have a team that's capable of getting past the first round but hey lets just go with the guy that loses with good numbers over the guy that wins with bad numbers, also I bet if I go back Jimmy has had a reasonable amount of bad games and plus Mrazek had the pressure on him for being rushed as the starter and he was starting every game I believe when Howie and Gus went down
