i definelty know what team i want the wings to face in the 1st round of the playoffs. luongo is the only goalie the wings can manage to score more than 3 goals against.
good to see that pavel has woken up from his slumber the past 2 games. even zetterberg has looked like he has more jump.
kronwall has reverted back to his early season form the last few games. he was awful last night as was lashoff. How the hell do you let up a 2 on 1 six seconds into the game?
i didn't think it was possible, but vancouver's powerplay looked as bad as the wings powerplay has been all season. looked like they had 5 cleary's on the ice who didn't have a clue of what to do with the puck.
all in all a good road trip for the wings with 4 of 6 points earned.
- thought we deserved a better fate through 40 minutes.
- amazing save off of Burrows early, bad bounce off of a shoe the other way.
- Burrows coulda had 3 or 4 in the first period. was really buzzing.
- Kelly Hrudy fellating Datsyuk all evening grew a little tiring.
- very disappointing 3rd. Detroit was the team that played and traveled last night. looked the other way around.
- powerplay, wherefore art thou. seriously, what the fuck. a bounce off of someone's ass, anything.
- at least the bad bounces are getting out of the way early. I mean, that's got to balance out at some point.
tough stretch coming up, with 6 games in 9 nights - including a 2 sets of b2b games. will either be a chance to work through as a team, or just crumble. Wish I were more optimistic.
