GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 This is without a doubt the worst hockey I've seen Zetterberg play Hes been s*** pretty much since the start of March. Its like he finally hit the old man wall where your game goes to s***. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barabbas16 499 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 The game is over. They are fortunate to come out of Tampa 1-1. I would still like to see them mess up Bishop's current shutout he has going, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Mrazek isn't ready to be the starter yet. Everyone gushes about how he's the next coming of hasek when he has a good game. Our goalies are both inconsistent and our defense is abysmal Jesus he absolutely stole the last game and had no chance on these goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowings00 545 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 There's nothing I've seen in the first two games to give me any confidence we can win three of next five. The sky isn't falling, im simply saying I don't see anything to make me think we can even get lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Why is anybody surprised? We haven't scored goals in the playoffs since 2009. Did people think we were going to start dominating possession all of a sudden? We're doing what we've done for 5 years. In the playoffs all the teams are good, and there are fewer penalties. If you can't control the puck at even strength, you're not going to do too well in the NHL playoffs. Babcock wants to win games the way Team Canada won games. Too bad the Red Wings aren't Team Canada. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Jesus he absolutely stole the last game and had no chance on these goals I agree he had no chance today but I would like to see him pulled in the 3rd just to save his confidence for the next games. They pile on a couple more int he 3rd could be bad for Petr going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tr!PoD#19 524 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Tampa is the best home ice team for a reason.. to expect to steal both games is crazy. We got what we wanted, now they need to play better at home 1 rick zombo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greek 323 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 I never understood the decision to stick with the same lineup. This is pretty much the same game, just with different puck luck. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our goalies are both inconsistent and our defense is abysmal Redwings scored 0 goals ... 2nd goal was a fluke and the 4th was a breakaway ...

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 You are serious? 11 goals in two seasons at 4.5 a year and people rip on Franzen? I'm just telling you how many goals he had. Someone said he had 3 in the last year. Which is demonstrably false. It is a FACT that he's scored 9 goals in the last year. Any other discussion is a discussion I wasn't having.

Don't think we should be getting killed and I hate the bs of winning a game just thanks to mrazek but since we won I won't change the lineup logic Would of brought pulkkinen ... Leading ahl scorer and he's gonna need playoff experience at some point regardless Whatever 1-1 bring on game 3 ... Series is far from over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 before the series started i would have taken a split in Tampa, which is what we have, if Petr hadnt been on his game thursday this would have been a non contest series.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Too bad. The shot totals look better, yet we're playing worse. Not on Mrazek, he's still battling. Time to change up the lines, Z and D just doesn't work anymore. Hasn't since Homer left. We could really use Abby too..... day to day...... HMMMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wing Across The Pond 196 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) This is without a doubt the worst hockey I've seen Zetterberg play Sad to see. I was saying he may be a new Drapes... not quite got it anymore so you limit his minutes, but still boss faceoff guy. Welp... That's the game boys and girls. I guess at least we are going into Detroit tied 1-1, and not down 2. Yeah positives to take definitely. 1-1 is better than 0-2, and hopefully we'll have more fire at the Joe. Someone said it yesterday... Cleary would hit. But then it's weighing up the benefit of him hitting against the downside of him being Danny Cleary Edited April 18, 2015 by Wing Across The Pond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
