GDT 4/7 GDT : Carolina Hurricanes 2 at Red Wings 3

[canadian wings fan 305]

Would it kill Howard to come up with a huge save?

[LeftWinger 4,951]

that second goal was crap! I thought it was a penalty to spray the goalie with snow? The first guy who shot it sprayed jimmy in the face with snow, then the rebound went in...wtf?!?

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I honestly don't know what has happened to this team, there is no facet of there game that is good. They don't score, they don't defend, goaltending is shacky. They donte even make plays anymore so boring and uninspired

You're absolutely correct. That description you just typed is the description of a poorly coached team that needs some major changes, starting with the coaching and management.

Go Tigers!!!

[GoWings! 179]

3rd period is make or break. The last chance to see what this team is made of. The Joe should see their absolute best. I expect Babcock to get this team going because I think this is the season right here. A home loss to a team that's 10 games under .500 and a backup goalie. Lowest of the low if we don't get it done.

If we can't beat this horrible team playing 2nd in a back to back knowing we clinch with a win, I just don't know. Even if we did squeak in I'm not sure I will waste my time watching them embarrass themselves rolling over whoever they would play.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

This could be the last home period of the season.

[canadian wings fan 305]

f*** guys losing to the Hurricanes with a chance to clinch a playoff spot. I just don't even understand anymore

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

"No easy match-ups in the playoffs." Except of course for the lucky bastards who play the Wings in the first round...(assuming they make it that is.)

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Did anyone see Ottawa's goal? Ridiculous..

[Crashnburnluder 385]

It's amazing how many rebounds we give up and can't grab a guy haha, we are playing the worst hockey I have seen the wings play since I've been a fan.

[TimeBinder 28]

They have proven they should not be in the playoffs - why get in and just be patsy? If I were MTL I be jumping up an down - gonna break some scoring records in the playoffs!! What happened?????

I mean I love Babcock but I think his voice has been lost. This team should honestly be playing run and gun hockey imo, we have speed and skill but we play so basic and kinda safe that we never win games convincingly. Another thing is I love that Babcock is always positive, but at some point you need get pissed at your team and hold them accountable.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Pretty incredible. Gut check time.

[dicksmack 33]

Babcock=overrated. ooooohhh put Pav and Z together with a checker! that'll save us.

You can make your saves as huge as you want, if your team doesn't clear the rebounds they are futile.

Ozzie was stating the obvious : This team doesn't respond well when things don't go their way. I wonder why that is ? They all should have the experience to overcome this, Hank and Dats already won a cup and the young guns won the Calder. You don't archive this if you don't know how to react right after you get scored on.

They were great at coming back when down, up until this slump.

As was mentioned on tv, all the defenders are facing the end boards instead of focusing to the front of the net. Babcock must not want them to miss the puck going in.

[Nyquistfan14 489]

This team is just so fragile, and I honestly think it's to late to save them. I see them missing the playoffs

[LeftWinger 4,951]

you know my opinion of Howard, but its hard to make a save with a face full of snow and water...

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Man, watching the Jets play is quite a contrast from Detroit. They play so hard.

[GoWings! 179]

This is a real awful way for things to go after such a promising first 75% of the season. Please don't let it go down this way, boys. Wake up and get clutch.

Good point, that makes it even more puzzling.

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

I was terribly unimpressed with Ferraro in his debut last season, and he looks equally unimpressive tonight.

[Fonzarelli 73]

They trul do not deserve to be in the playoffs. I would much rather see Ottawa in. They at least skate, shoot, check and score.
