puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 they look great... Jimmy Howard is his usual stellar self despite the Storm Trooper helmet. We know this might not last, but they are bringing what serves as their A game here today. oh look ANOTHER PP for the Avs. Let's continue to press our luck here, shall we, Wings??? 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when a 3:00 start time was a death sentence for the Wings. The times they are a-changin'? Maybe? 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 End of 1st. Wings lead 1-0. This is the Wings team we'd all hoped we'd be watching every night this season. 2 ely s and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy brought his Hasek mojo today.. thankfully. Now, if the Wings understand that one goal is probably not enough, this could end better than one would expect, statistically. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helps the team, helps him feel better about himself, and maybe pushes forced retirement off for another year. Everyone wins. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He deserves to retire a Red Wing. He has stuck with them through highs and lows, and deserves to go out on his own terms. 2 Dabura and ely s reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ely s 458 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 great game so far, I really hope we survive the first 3 minutes of the second period and can keep up our first period play. Jimmy is heating up as well, only 5 goals allowed on the last 90 shots 2 puckloo39 and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 Avs tie it up. Kadri's a punk, but credit where it's due: he's a really good, really underrated player. 4 minutes ago, puckbags said: Maybe day games are the answer. Was the breakfast buffet that good this morning?

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Every team not named the Red Wings seems to have a powerhouse waterbug defenseman who skates like McDavid and scores seemingly at will (like McDavid).

He looks around trying to find an answer and next thing he knows it's 5-1 and its over. That sequence that happened just now, where the Wings were applying some o-zone pressure and Bertuzzi tried to force a long pass back to the point, which led to the Avs breaking out with purpose and ultimately getting a couple of quality scoring chances...at the risk of hugely oversimplifying things, I want to say that that sequence kind of sums up our meltdown pathology. Basically, we seem all too willing to back off from an attacking mentality and go through the motions of low-percentage playmaking. When the going gets tough, you dig your heels in and push back in kind. Put pucks on net. Don't force adventures that very likely wouldn't work out even if you execute them perfectly. 2 puckbags and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
