ECQF Game 7 GDT : at Lightning 2, Red Wings 0 (Tampa wins series, 4-3)

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Until this roster is full of guys that would choke someone over a game of checkers this is the same s*** we can expect year in and year out.

Soft euros, non-skilled skill players and 9 of the 12 forwards are 4th liners ANYWHERE else in the league but Buffalo or Arizona....the future of this team needs to start next year. HOlland needs to be fired. Babcock needs to go as this team needs a new voice. DAts and Z's roles need to be diminished with their diminishing skill sets. SAme with Kronner.

Feel free to find another team

Well, this is s***ty. At least we've found our goalie of the future. Mrazek is gonna be a star. Babs will move on to greener pastures (greener as in $$$), Blashill will do a great job replacing him. Holland needs to get us a couple of d-men and we'll be in a good position to compete next year. Oh yeah, and GET RID OF ANDERSSON :D

IF you don't think they played well over their heads (and talent level) to even get here you're part of the problem, not the solution. Enjoy your status quo.

I agree they did. That's my point.

I'm only still watching because I love this team and these guys.

Look at Z shaking hands with all these dirty motherf***ers who didn't get suspended for their illegal hits with a smile because he's the best godd*** captain in the league.

Look at Jimmy standing by the door to personally deliver a manly back pat to each player.

Look at Petr hugging his rival playoff virgin goalie and smiling and not taking off his skate to stab a *****.

Red Wings forever. f*** the DOPS. PS96 out

Remember, even though the team has 2 world class players in Datsyuk and Zetterberg, for some reason we're supposed to just be happy that the team made the playoffs

does anyone else agree that Kindl played well? We didn't really miss Kronner and K played just like he should've. Trade E and Q and Smith. Acquire a top guy and keep Kindl in.

I actually like Kindl. He has the ability to be a better offensive, puck mover than everyone aside from Kronwall. He's just so inconsistent

I think you seriously need to consider moving either Z or Datsyuk. You need some young, skilled, hungry guys. That's what wins in the playoffs now, not slow, aging guys. Nothing against either of them, love them both, they still have skill, but they just cant compete against these younger, faster, tougher teams. Our whole roster cant, that's painfully obvious watching this series, and the last few years. You've got to do something to re-build this roster. Because when they both leave on their own terms... we're going to be left in the same position when Lidstrom left... with Holland looking around the room going, uh... now what? The pieces aren't there to replace either of them on the roster now, or in the system. Sure, you can suggest Mantha, Larkin maybe.. but they're a ways away, and very unproven. You've got to do something

Can we please get some damn offense on this team? WTF

It felt like it was impossible to score a goal all series...like we have to only get scrappy goals. Datsyuk was probably playing injured, he's injured this time EVERY year now. Zetterberg, same thing. He's falling off a bit. We need more offense on this team. The defense looks like it's gonna grow and blossom in another year or two.

Tatar, you're not Datsyuk dude, quit trying to skate all over the arena and through 3 defenders.Man, this series was here for the wings to take.

Ps...Pulks with 5 goals in 3 AHL playoff games. We've got to utilise him better when he comes up next year. Nice to see little bert get one in his playoff debut too. Not on topic, but hey, we could all do with cheering up!

Let's see what he's like under Blashill next year. He was never getting out of Babs doghouse, but if you shelter his minutes and use him extensively on the PP he can be an asset for sure.

If you stare at the stats then everyone jumps on Nyqvist but he was a hell of a lot better than Tatar. He's always in on the puck and getting zone time. Tatar has no forecheck to his game and kills all offence if he's actually handling the puck and he also saved his worst game for game 7. He still dourest know how to play playoff hockey. Gus was good, sometimes it doesn't translate on the stat sheet, much like most of our forwards

Maybe we are all looking for someone to blame? It might not matter and it might not be right, but i was not impressed with tatar's handling of the puck and absolute oblivious offensive zone nature.

Z is no longer a world class player...Glenny and Sheahan were more dangerous than he was. He should retire.

Look at the quality of those 31 shots. The good chances we did have, we missed wide and weren't even credited as SOG.

It all comes back to not having any real talent that can score. Guys like Abby and Helm aren't top 6 players. Either Nyquist or Tatar need to go, because they do have talent but can't score in big moments.

Lets give them a little longer before we right them off. For 3 or 4 years Dats was almost as bad in the playoffs, and he became one of the best in the world. Hell I vaguely remember the trade Stevie Y conversations.

Unless of course we can get a good deal for quality at D!

As for Abby and Helm..I think the former has proved himself a 2nd line talent. Helmer should be on the 3rd line, and with a fit Franzen and Cole, that's exactly where he would be.

Babcock is done. This team needs a shake up. He doesn't seem to have it anymore. Wings will promote the Griffins coach to get these guys to play as well for him as they did for the Griffins. Time to trade some peeps and get some D. This offseason, if nothing big happens, nothing big will happen and they will continue with barely making the playoffs and losing handily.
