Firehawk 305 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 What about Tatar and Nyquist? Do you want either of those turds back? They're in their mid 20's and have stunk three playoffs in a row. Whats sad is u just named all the new aspiring talent lol. Hopefully larkin and AA grow from this. I still like Mrazek over howard. Growing pains. Remember ozzie went through it with san jose in 1994? I dont rmember the year lol I dont want tatar or nyquist back. They stopped developing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 It reminded me of game 7 vs san jose and ozzie early in his career. I hoe the same result occurs and mrazek gets stronger from it. Man, I remember that well. That's the moment that led to Vernon being traded for to solidify things and mentor Osgood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTU_Huskies963 398 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 Blashill was so worried the young guys would cost him the series, the vets did.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) They should be. They can't blame age as an excuse. They're just not high quality players. One of them needs to be traded off season. Edited April 22, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 I'm not blaming Mrazek for the loss (entirely), but I'm definitely giving him a chunk of blame for the goal. The other chunk is for Kronwall. Ya maybe a small chunk but I can't complain about the way the team defended tonight they barely gave up any chances and had so many grade A ones but again suck hard on the finish. Things won't change until this roster changes abs finds a couple pure goal scorers. Don't care if they are not two way players we need to score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 Blashill was so worried the young guys would cost him the series, the vets did. Coaching not to lose is not the right mentality in the playoffs. The kids played fine, but they never had a chance to make or break this series. I know Blashill is smarter than me when it comes to this stuff, but man, I like our chances if it's our kids against theirs. I guess we wait until next season when that's all we have.

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 One of them needs to be traded off season. One of them needs to be executed in front of the other guy. Kind of like Blofeld used to do in Bond movies to scare his minions. Maybe that would send the survivor a message. 2 derblaueClaus and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper84 333 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 Crap lines. No real adjustments. Failure to get Mrazek going at the end of the season, who clearly once again proved to be the vastly superior playoff goalie. Ericsson. Mediocrity reigns in far too many areas of this team these days, and it's nothing short of sad. I really, really, really hope Datsyuk finishes out his contract and gives it one more year, but it's based on a surely stupid hope that someone in management will finally do something to get this team going in the right direction again, and the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. Either way though, if this proves to be it for Datsyuk, it's going to really sting... I hope so too, but watching the hand shake line (maybe I'm over thinking it), sure seemed like someone who was leaving the league... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing post. And mantha got zero playoff experience. Imagine if just one or two more pp goals get scored with Mantha in the lineup, how much that changes the series....

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 LOL. No, it couldn't. The games were close, but the two teams aren't. They're a lot better than us. They didn't really look like it. Only games they outscored the Wings by more than one was the first two. Once the Wings actually got some goaltending, it was pretty close. The missed PPs and breakaways and golden chances were the killer. 1 roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Namingway 146 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 Man, like I said in the GDT, I don't feel as disappointed in the loss as I did in the past few years. Maybe it's because the Wings barely made it in when everyone expected them to miss the playoffs. If anything, I feel worse about how this is likely the way Datsyuk will end his career as a Red Wing. Well, I guess Lidstrom and Yzerman didn't really have the best ends to their legendary careers either. In any case, I'll always cherish the memories of Pavel Datsyuk dazzling us with his magic. I'm sure I'll be showing my future children and grandchildren ancient highlight clips from YouTube of the Magic Man. Thanks for all the fun, Pavel. It was a hell of a show. 1 gcom007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 22, 2016 Here's the thing: A stupid mental error caused us to give up a chance that ended up going in. Meanwhile, we couldn't find the back of the net. That's how we lost, and that's also our entire season in a nutshell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
