gowings00 545 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 We don't watch hockey with the same eyes. Yup...Smith pinched even though Carter took off right in front of him. And then he didn't hustle to get back. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 We don't watch hockey with the same eyes. Dont watch it, then. Look at the stat sheet for who had the turnover. Because Smith was on the ice does NOT make it hos fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly? he didn't make the turnover, but he's supposed to play defence. He had plenty of a head start - all he had to do is stay between the player and the net. Instead, he got way out-skated and left behind. 2 gowings00 and DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonzarelli 73 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 This team needs to practice every single day. They should practice non stop on non game days. On game days, they need to practice in the morning. Very disorganized. You can see they are unsure of themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MotorCityMadness 388 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 Observations: 1) The PP scored a goal - GOOD 2) The PP gave up a goal - BAD 3) Smith was not to blame for the goal against - Yes he overplayed the side of the ice the puck was on and got beat, but when you have 4 players in a scrum and lose the puck battle, that's BAD 4) Its 1-1 despite playing a meh period - GOOD 5) Win the next 2 periods and win the game, simple as that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 I see how the Smith discussion came up, but let's keep it to a minimum, please. Feel free to start a thread discussing Smith specifically if you're so inclined, but let's try to concentrate on the game as a whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 This is a serious problem that will plague this team for the rest of the season unless they sit up and take notice. There is minimal compete level from everyone on the ice. It's appalling. If I were Blashill I would be going nuts right now. They're losing every battle along the boards, allowing themselves to get hemmed in the D zone. The PP is so perimeter and they're just ***** footing around the blue line trying to get a lane to open up, instead of being aggressive, going down load and driving the net (which is the reason Tatar got the first goal). The break outs still aren't good enough, its too rushed, they don't look structured at all, and are coughing it up continuously. This is soooo frustrating to watch, and I really wish KH would have the balls to pull the trigger on a big trade and shake things up. Because really, we have great goaltending, and a group of forwards that really really needs some tenacity that plays with the compete level of some of these Kings. They're faster, more organised, more determined, smarter, everything. The Wings will be lucky to even get a point tonight if they continue to play like that first period. Sorry for being negative, I love this team like the rest of us here. But I've been noticing these disturbing trends all season long, and it's driving me mad.
