Dead Wings 2.0
Andreas Athanasiou making his NHL debut
Go wings!
Go wings!
another period where the wings get dominated. maybe the late goal will wake their asses up
it's been that way for most of the season. very very concerningThey reminded me of my sons old peewee team. They couldn't connect on their passes and were turnover machines. ugh.
the wings have been extremely boring to watch so hopefully he can entertain us with some of his datsyukian dekesAt least Datsyuk will be back next week, hopefully.
the lack of physicality is an issue on the forecheck. the other teams defensman have no fear whatsoever when the wings come in on the forecheck and allows them to take their time moving the puck outAs I've said before, and sounding like a broken record, "if you're not going to be physical against teams that are very quick, like Dallas is, and not do so with authority, then they will be free-wheeling in all 3 zones the entire game". So, far that has certainly been the case. You cannot let them be carrying the play like they have been, especially in the neutral zone and in your own end. You must lay some heavy hits on them, partly in order to keep their total focus partly off of their play, and, instead, have them be partly thinking about the next blow they're about to take; otherwise, they are going to continue to skate circle around you.
