GDT ECQF Game 3 GDT : Tampa Bay Lightning at Red Wings, 7:00 EST

[Number19 159]

Can we forfeit all future power plays?

[lomekian 201]

I don't think there can be any doubt that whoever is coaching the PP needs to be relieved of their position...jesus...

[Y19 2,488]

Whenever Fillypoola is on the powerplay, we need to let him shoot. Overload the PK so that he's forced to shoot the puck.

I miss Budd Lynch.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

Zetterberg does that every single PP.. and it NEVER works

Which is why he shouldn't be on it. He is the captain of turnovers.

[Fonzarelli 73]

If there are trades after the season, I'd keep Nyquist but get rid of Tatar. Man he is completely out it.

[KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 426]

Our pp is ridiculous

[datterberg1340 626]

man this period is taking forever!

can't they speed the clock up, just a little?

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Jeeez Helm you should have shot that.

[chaps80 1,591]

God d the Wings PP sucks. The score should be lik 5-0. Keep playing, you haven't won yet!

[R-Dizzle 119]

How do you not take a shot there??

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Our shooters are idiots. They wait too long to shoot. No wonder we make goalies look great and make shot blockers look like Hakeem Olajuwon out there.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

SHOOT THE PUCKING f***!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

We need to simplify the powerplay. Put two players on the point. Do lots of one-timers. Put a man in front to screen the goalie. Stop trying to make the fancy play. Don't wait until the goalie and shot blockers are set before shooting.

We use to do that when Homer and Lids were still on the team.

[Fonzarelli 73]

Helm had to shoot there. Another wings' weakness.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

We use to do that when Homer and Lids were still on the team.

It's not about talent as much as common sense. The powerplay is a man advantage. You shoot the puck and you'll have an advantage in front of the goalie in numbers whenever there's a scramble for the loose puck.

We're always trying to make a fancy play, yet we never one-time the puck from the slot. Very odd strategy.

Here's a crazy idea.. Put AA on the power play. But why change things up when it's going so well?

[Jasper84 333]

These guys need to be just a little bit more greedy and take the shot. Nothing bad can come of you taking a shot on the opposition's goaltender. So what if you hit the goaltender, there is a chance for a dirty goal off a rebound. Just shoot.

Well we had common sense back then too.

[Fonzarelli 73]

Why are there never any wings where the rebounds are?

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

Why are there never any wings where the rebounds are?

We have a lot of guys who play well without the puck defensively. However, we don't have a lot of guys that play well without the puck offensively.

[Jasper84 333]

Why are there never any wings where the rebounds are?

They aren't used to rebounds, since nobody shoots.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Yay Marchy's back!

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Oh Dats. Nice try. Bishop standing on his head again

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I had to giggle but it's sad at the same time.

They can't make LGW happy. When they throw it at the net, people complain they're not setting up their shots. When they try to set up their shots, we complain they're not one-timing it. I think it's a combination of the two and making better judgment calls about when to point and shoot and when to cycle the puck.

A big problem I see is passing. Detroit mentality seems to be they still have the same crisp tape-to-tape passing they had 5 years ago.
