I had no doubt that was gonna go in. Holy shit!

 

[RobBase]

I'm sitting on a couch in my garage, smoking a bowl and listening to this game on the radio right now. Chillin.

How'd....that....NOT go in? Holy smokes!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Because it DID go in. Here comes the intent to blow shit again.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

2-1 NY.

Now maybe Detroit will wake up.

Getting thoroughly outplayed

 

[detroit_schlegs]

One of the primary rules kids are taught from when they are very young is to never pass the puck from your end to the front of the goal when you have pressure coming up the middle. Never!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

We never beat the Islanders when they sucked.

I had hope we'd beat them once they became good.

Getting thoroughly outplayed

One of the reasons we are being pinned in our end is that the wings are playing too much inside the dots. They need to get their asses on the boards outside the dot so that the man with with the puck has an outlet to relieve the pressure. Geez man, get your ass over there would you?

They aren't "good" yet; they only think they are.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Islander's PK is dead last in the NHL....spend some freaking time in THEIR end and draw a few power plays, dammit.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Here we go. Finally another power play.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

FUCK Franzen...there was his goal. Good defensive play.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

One thing that Smith and Kindl are notorious for is to shoot into the body of the opposing player who is coming out to apply pressure. Has anyone suggested to them to move toward the middle in order to get the puck past them?

 

[detroit_schlegs]

FUCK Franzen...there was his goal. Good defensive play.

I have yet to understand why Mike has him out there on the primary PP group. He is too freakin' slow, and his creativity has turned stale.

 

[detroit_schlegs]

They have 25 SOG to our 13. Apparently someone set up the cot in our end.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Redmond said it perfectly.

Everything is a struggle for the Red Wings right now.

Of course, when you continue to do stupid shit like Smith, Kindl, and Franzen do far too often, you are going to be struggling big time.

SOG:

NYI 28
DET 13

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Wings hit the goalpost again.
