GDT ECQF Game 2 GDT : Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:00 EST

[Wings10 300]

Howie looks lost, hard time tracking the puck but I am certainly not blaming him. First few minutes we showed up then took a nap....besides Larkin, he looks angry.

Howard can't steal a game like Mrazek can..Still have no idea why he is starting.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Well, that was horrible. In between periods, please, improve your mood wit this Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoon

[matt198913 932]

Complete domination until the zebras got involved. This is where Blashill needs to show some damn passion. Lose your freakin mind and buy a few calls later. Don't just sit there and stew.

[Superman54 91]

Abs has probably been our best player this series, he's actually doing something.

[wings_fanatic 677]

I have zero faith in Howard. Thank god for posts and for hank and Danny D saving a goal otherwise Howard let 5 or 6 pucks past him that period. Every time they shoot I'm scared and I'm sure the team has no confidence in him either.

But man split up that awful 3rd line already!!!

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

There isn't one team in the playoffs that would have an untalented oaf like Abdels***ter playing on its top line. We need to get some real players and demote this stupid scrub to the lower lines where he belongs.

He doesn't know the line between aggressive and stupid. He continues to cross it and hurt the team. Done far more harm than good already tonight.

I cannot believe Ericsson is on the top D unit. Guy has been terrible

My mood is better now. Thanks.

JR saying we even got away with a few in the 1st haha no homer for the blots at all yes the blots

And he doesn't score. How is he useful? We may as well bring Gino Odjick in to grab Tampa's players and start pounding away randomly.

He's playing worse than Krupp against Vancouver in 2002.

Easily his worst season so far

[Superman54 91]

Because why? I forgot how much nyquist, tatar, zetterberg, Richards, Larkin have been scoring lately.. AA has looked soft and Abs stirs the pot and maybe brings some emotion to his fellow teammates, something a few of them need I think.

Cough cough Lucic.. Abby is doing his job he isn't the problem with this team

Bolts got away with 3 hooks in our zone, the one on Quincey led to a scoring chance. Terrible officiating. No need for chincy garbage call the real penalties

Because the last month of the season her couldn't stop a beach ball. Why do people think that was magically going to change come playoffs. Howard is/was the best option coming in.

Justin Abdelkader, everyone. Will still play 20 minutes tonight even though his stupidity cost the team a goal. AA would sit for two weeks if he took that penalty.

A GM actually gave Abdelkader seven years. Just think about that.

Our GM is a joke that should have been thrown out the door in favor of Yzerman or Nill.

Cough cough Lucic.. Abby is doing his job he isn't the problem with this team

His job as a first line isn't to take 4 minor penalties and score zero goals. If that's his job, he needs to play on the 4th line and make less money.

Danny Derriere!

[Firehawk 305]

I thought the wings looked good 5 on 5 and were fighting back. Looked worse because of all the ridiculous penalties. My god have they just destroyed hockey.

Every goalie has a bad stretch...Plus he had an injury.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

There are plenty of problems. Abby is one of them. He takes dumb penalties and plays 20 minutes per game.

Also, Joakim "the PK expert" Andersson didn't kill a second of penalties in the first period where the Wings were short-handed three times.

Mantha and Jurco are definitely less valuable, though.

Jurco would contribute nothing but Mantha should indeed be playing.

[frankgrimes 1,836]

With Stamkos and Stralman out all the Wings had to do is focus on shutting down the triplets line and they can't even do that. I'm starting wo wonder how this series would look with of them in the lineup.

It should be known by now that Kucherov almost has a Tarasenkolike release on his onetimer so someone has to get into the lane and block the damn shot

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

True but when that streak of injury comes right before the playoffs you can't start them. You don't play a guy trying to work out his game in the playoffs. It's common sense people. Howard win games down the stretch where Mrazek couldn't. Kid was pulled in 4 games since mid Feb. That's not who you start in the playoffs.

Wonder what would happen if Tampa didn't have the Michelin Man in net.
