Let's not focus on a win at all cost. It's over we are not going to make the playoffs, let's enjoy their intensity and the fun of watching our 3 kids. Positives lies ahead...maybe next season.
Hopefully Coreau is in goal..but i doubt !
more to come...

Bertuzzi in NOT a top 3. Abdelkader is NOT a top 6. The Dick with Ears is an idiot
#RedWings in morning skate:
Bertuzzi-Zetterberg-Nyquist
Abdelkader-Larkin-Mantha
Athanasiou-Nielsen-Helm
Witkowski-Glendening-Booth (Frk working in)
Ericsson-Daley
DeKeyser-Jensen
Kronwall-Green
Howard starts again....prediction: Losing streak reaches 3, Howard gives up at lest 3

Looks like balanced scoring is the attempt with that lineup. Whatever.
Devin Dubnyk playing? I hope so. I feel like the first great hockey story of the lockout era was Tim Thomas returning to the NHL and winning a championship. Now I think it’s Dubnyk. I know he posted solid numbers in Edmonton for a bad team for awhile but he’s one of the best goalies since arriving in Minnesota (which makes me think Sean Burke could be the number one goalie coach).

Good intensity, DWE seems to have his team fired up. Go Abby. #3 seems to be contributing to the attack, usually responsibly. Howard looking solid. Been sick with the flu bug the last week, hope I can make it to the end.

We look dangerous at times - mostly in our defensive end ....

You have to admire the determination of this team, we play hard and for a team that is out of the playoffs race it's astonishing.
But we can't score...countless chances and then on the other side 2 bad goals by Howard and one by E into his own net.
The third goal was a back breaker, typical of Howard's career really. Look good at time but will let you down on key moments.
Today Z could not follow the parade. Are we going to play the kids now is our beloved Math teacher behind the bench will still "prepare" this team like we still have a chance ??
Like i said the intensity is incredible but détails are Killing this team, and bad attention to détails and bad execution is the dutie of the man behind the bench...
...this is our weak spot really..
And Daley to slowly change when our goalie is out for an extra player was soo dumb, it gave the Wild an easy goal.

Imagine if you could just erase Jensen and Ericsson for actual top four quality puck movers. Guys who can make plays instead of just flinging the puck somewhere and hoping a forward gets it. You score so many more goals right now if Ken Holland didn’t wait so long to start actually working on the defense.
Why was Booth not put on waivers?
The red wings have legitimately been out of playoff contention since November. But, if you’re wondering why you’re losing so many 1 goal games, just look at the minutes. Once again, Jeff Blashill is not putting his best players on the ice with the game on the line. If you’re trying to win, why are your top scorers not on the ice? Abdelkader got almost 20 min today. Athanasiou just 14 min and Larkin 17. Your leading scorers aren’t on the ice when you need to score and once again you lose. This has been a pattern with Blashill for his entire Detroit tenure and it should have spelled his doom awhile ago

I still expect this team to win- but the truth is they're NQGE (not quite good enough). They seem to be trying to always make the flashy play or the perfect pass but in reality they are lacking solid fundamental hockey. Whenever they can keep it simple and hustle they do fairly good. But it's the fancy ass shit they try and pull that bites them in the butt every time. That goal by Parise- anyone who has ever played goaltender knows you don't give up the short side post. You hug that metal like it's your honey. Howard didn't do that--- boom--- easy goal. This team doesn't have enough talent to forget the basics every night and expect to win.
