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

[Jasper84 333]

Mrazek needs to be in. Sure, he had a bad stretch, but he's generally really good in big games and last year he played amazing vs this very team. Howard is just not good enough. Howard would only be able to survive the playoffs if he had a D like we used to in the late 90's.

Wings don't have any killer instinct... at all

Look at their alleged captain and alternate captains. Zero passion

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Mrazek, Smith, and Mantha must be in game 3. There is no excuses. If not fire Holland and take Blashill with him.

Who's going to do the firing? The Tiger lovin' Ilitch family?

[chaps80 1,591]

Howard was absolute trash on that goal. Absolutely pathetic. I couldn't make him look that bad in the video game.

That should be the end of the Howard experiment. Mrazek needs to start Game 3.

Did a wing just shoot that on Howard?

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Johnson looks like a piece of s***

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

They don't play Mantha and AA because of defensive weakneses, yet they play guys like Ericsson and Kronwall who stink in their own zone.

But if Mantha and AA are scoring who cares. If Kronwall and Ericsson would do their jobs we'd be winning.

Ericsson and Kronwall out there together even.

How many times does E have to be exposed before he's scratched please tell me? And sure would be nice if Nyquist and Tatar were playing tonight.... Oh wait

Lol everyone blames Howard when he did his job taking the shooter. The other 4 Wings standing around letting one TB payer tap it in get a free pass. This place is unbearable sometimes. Hate to break it to all the Howard haters but Mrazek would have looked even more foolish on that play with how aggressive he would have played it.

Bench everyone but the two youngsters and give the Griffins a chance to send a message to wings on how to play the game.

LOL. I'm tired of hearing about the Griffins. They've given us scrubs like Smith, Jurco, Pulkinnen and others. More than half of those Griffins were overhyped on this forum for years.

This goalie gives it right back at all costs in the 3rd period no matter what. Just go with Mrazek for now. We went 7 last year with him. Put him in next game at the Joe.

X2 on firing Blashill,need some new blood and coaching ideas/system in Detroit along with some much needed grit and toughness.

Pretty sure Howard is not going to be the one to stand on his head and steal a series

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

So remember how Andersson was brought up to boost the PK? The Wings have had 6 penalties and he hasn't seen a second of shorthanded time.

Illitch doesn't accept failure.

He didn't just take the shooter. He overplayed the shooter and got caught out of position. He's not supposed to leave the entire net open and hope the defense ties up every man crashing the net. Even if they do tie up, a puck could bounce off of the numerous skates in the crease and go in. Howard blew that.

And yet they would probably play harder than the wings!

[Wings10 300]

Can you bench Goose and Tatar for the rest of the game.

[matt198913 932]

Don't forget to take faceoffs... 0 total joke especially how well their PP was performing with Mantha.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Illitch doesn't accept failure.

Bull. He's accepted failure and mediocrity for years. Otherwise, Holland would have been fired years ago.

[Yak19 303]

Yeah disappointed in Howard. D is horrible too but to bite that hard is not playoff mode.

[Number19 159]

Headman is sneaky dirty. His stick has been awfully low gravity tonight. Too bad there's no Probert to crush his face in.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Eight minutes left...time to start playing now, Wings!!!

[matt198913 932]

Ask Dave Dombrowski if he accepts failure
