Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Oh well. Got a point and Howard actually did well in the shootout. I'll take it. Lol My thoughts exactly, I'll take that point. 2 kickazz and Wingnut1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brett 1,029 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Z had a chance to singlehandedly get 2 points. How did he blow that backhand. Still blows my mind that all that talent and can't score in a shootout. Richards can barely score in a game but can score in a shootout so stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 I've kinda always wanted Vrbata on Datsyuks wing. Am I the only person that thinks it would really pretty a lot. 1 Wingnut1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 So annoying man we are healthy and everything still can't beat these s*** teams, All I know is we almost never lost to buffalo when Babs was here. Blash needs to rip someone's head off because it seems like this team is trending down. Hate the damn Nucks. 3rd in the Atlantic. WOW all these dropped points and blown leads are going to bite us in the ass at the end of the year. I predict a first round loss to Boston AGAIN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barabbas16 499 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 They just looked like a really bad hockey team for the majority of this game. Just a bunch of really bad players.... and that's what Vancouver should have looked like. Didn't deserve the point they got in this one. So, are the Red Wings' shooters as bad as Howard is in the shootout? It seems like it should at least be a discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Yes they are. It seems like they don't even practice because they've sucked for two or three years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Blashills lines suck!!! How long is it going to take him to keep pav and hank together on a line?! The wings were so flat for too much of this game. Howard played okay but a crappy rebound and he gives up a 3rd goal right after we tie the game. And another loss for him. Play mrazek next game and change the lines. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 I was afraid this might happen ... easy pickin 2 pts usually turn out to be a disappointment. Outshot 27 to 10 in the first 2 periods ??!! Only positive, great tying goal by the Euro Twins. Relieved that we got one ... but once we tied it, with the fragile mental state of Canucks, we should have been able to win it in OT or shootout. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 I'm not blaming Howard, out shot 27-10 through 2 periods.... I'm blaming the coach. Blash really is starting to seem like players coach man, Stop with the Nyquist and Tatar on the third line crap they need to start playing with Z and D again. They aren't carrying s*** out there Blash just needs to understand these guys aren't at or even close to Dats and Zs level when they were younger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 How do you lose to the devils with no Zajac or Henrique, then to the Canucks with no H.Sedin? You either really suck, aren't preparing for games right or are being babied by the coach. I mean we lost in regulation at the Joe to ******* Bylsmas Buffalo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Just watched Z's tieing goal. What a shot! The puck didn't touch anything or anyone and went top shelf with maybe 6 inches of space. Then I watched his shootout try. He had Miller frozen on his knees with a wide open net but he shot it right at his pad. Scores a highlight goal to tie it, then screws up an easy finish in the shootout. Did'nt look like the same guy at all. Oh well, he got the team a point.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Zetterberg should watch his own past shootout moves and do it correctly lol. I think he was going for this: But ended up botching it with this: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=2015020481-782-h Anyways. I think they should go with Richards, Larkin, Nyquist as their shootout line up. Datsyuk is 25% on the shootout in the last 3 (?) years. That's really bad. And Zetterberg has always sucked at them. I'd rather put Jurco in as the 4th or 5th guy. Edited December 19, 2015 by kickazz 2 NerveDamage and chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Jurco is sketchy in the shootout. He needs more confidence for sure, but the dude seems so lackadaisical in shootouts. Posting all those youtube videos must've used up his hands before he got to the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 I don't like Datsyuk in the top 3. I'm not exactly sure who I'd replace him with, because it seems nobody knows how to score. Richards, Sheahan, Abdelkader Because why the f*** not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posting all those youtube videos must've used up his hands before he got to the NHL. I remember he did a sweet move against Chicago in 2014 but missed. He has the hands for it but problem is I think NHL goalies are just good enough to stop it. Hah found the video. check out Jurco's shot at 4:22. I feel like if he worked at it he could do something with it. I don't like Datsyuk in the top 3. I'm not exactly sure who I'd replace him with, because it seems nobody knows how to score. Richards, Sheahan, Abdelkader Because why the f*** not I'd try Larkin. He had a nice deke today.

jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Larkin made a real nice move, then just missed. And is definitely throw Abby out there before helm. Jurco has made some really nice plays, his first goal was a spin o rama. And his behind the back tip pass assists were sweet, but some things wrong with him. Either his confidence is so low that his best asset is worthless, or his back problems have seriously messed him up. I was pretty high on him too, it sucks to see.

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 This team goes through waves.. We were playing great but based on our rosters limitations it's not sustainable. Then we see this side which I like to call rock bottom. I've watched a lot of team play this year and when the wings are playing like this they are the very worst team in the league. I think it's our small guys trying to just let the game come to them and not busting their ass off every shift like they are capable of doing and are dominant when they do it. It's understandable, it's twice as hard for nyquist to force turnovers on a forecheck then it is someone with that's not a midget. Then theirs just the metal part of being late and too weak to every puck battle. This is a fragile team. Kronwall can be a great offensive top 4 that would be a huge part of every team but when he's bad he's embarrassing to watch because it's all mental fear, he makes plays you can't understand because he's completely rattled. I think confidence is a huge issue with this team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Nyquist could be one of the very best goal scorers in the league if he had Ghallagher's mentality just being fearless despite your size. I love nyquist but any unbiased person watching enough wings games would say this man is a huge Wimp... Him and Tatar don't have that fierce competitive spirit that dats and z had. Not because they don't want to but because it's too hard. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
