DRW Dominance

lol at Detroit's poise and theirf****** stupidity.

 

how many times until they learn to just get the puck out??  stop cycling it backwards.  enough already.

team is completely bipolar so I wont be surprised if they win 6-0 or lose 6-0.

Growing pains of a young d corp. it was bound to happen.... Just sucks that it's happening a lot worse then some may have thought

agreed.  smith i'm sure will have a very bright future....he is still a baby in terms of defenceman and age

I'm stunned and tired.

 

just win and I will forgive and expect howard to come back strong

 

I guess this is a good learning experience for the young guys???

 

can't take your foot off the gas at all

 Too many passengers right now. 

I don't think they're passengers.

 

they're flat out just not good enough.

I agree to the post above as well. 

 

about the skill thing.  I find our bottom six thinking too much that they are top six.  there is not enough of a grinding aspect to their game.  they're too soft right now thinking they can out skill when they cannot.

 

get back to your game bottom six....hit, grind, dump and chase.

 

this team lacks an identity.

staying out of the box.  5 on 5 play we can dominate anybody.

i'd say that's it.   all bad things stem from killing 8 penalties a game.

like everyone else is saying.  try playing when the puck drops.

it's hard because we all know this team will own anyone if they want to.

problem is, do they want to?

While he didn't score to potential, he was a great playmaker.  He won a LOT of battles along the boards.  I was happy with his playoff performance overall.

i know what you're saying because trust me, i love the way he plays.

but his money isn't earned by winning board battles.

he didn't play well for pitt or us in the playoffs, but played very well for chicago.

oh well, franzen just won't cut it.  this team requires a pure goal scorer.

why? They both had 21 points the last 2 playoff's and Hossa is a much bigger threat than Franzen, faster, stronger and quicker shot. The last two and a half season's is just proof who the Wings should have kept.

i love the way hossa plays as well but i can never forget the way he played for us in the playoffs.

if he was even decent in those playoffs we could have waltzed our way to the cup.

not saying that a non existent franzen is any better though.

lids is gettin burned.  better position up.

4th line is getting killed as well.

all in all not a bad period though.

I didn't really want to start a thread about this but it is very true.

This team for the regular season anyway needs to learn how to get some of their losses in OT.

We are one of a few teams who get little to no points by losing in OT and it could honestly cost us this division.

We could be right up there with CHI if we had accomplished this amazing feat.

this is what separates pav from every other player i've ever seen.

he's so unpredictable.

you never know going into a corner whether he's going for the puck first, gonna let you take it then strip you, throw the shoulder, allow you to hit him first.

he is a true game changer and sneaky as hell.

this was a really tough loss to swallow.  shoulda had this one.

i thought stuart and kronwall were brutal.

as fantastic as howard has been all season he cost us this game with his poor decisions behind the net.

3rd goal held on too long...penalty

4th goal instead of just passing to kronwall he fires it up high on the glass...goal


once the nashville announcers started rhyming off our stats about 3 goals for and leading going into the third i knew we were done.

just can't say s*** like that.

ur down by 3f****** goals and that's the play you make hudler?

shoot thef****** puck ya idiot!
