Need Ariz/Ott to get point/s tonight. Wings have a shot at the three spot if those two play well. Both have been warm of late. Cant see the Wings catching Buff/Vanc.

Was in total agreement that goal should have been called back until I saw the last replay. Bertuzzi got bumped. What did you guys see?

but i love the way Schev smacked the Caps player down after a scrum in front of the net...
Bert is to me close to be worthless right now but at least he can do the same thing, smack a guy down, Something we are not use to see in D.

Bert IS worthless. Must have hooked up with the same stripper for Holland that got Abby his "A,"

Wings did their job last night. Too bad Ariz/Ott both failed to get any points.

This loss officially eliminated us from the playoffs But we all know we were done in early November. 65 points thru 74 games, 26th place of 31 teams. 8 more games to go with a couple of tough opponents w/ Toronto and Pittsburgh then a series of games head to head against teams wanting to tank for draft positions, Montreal, Buffalo, Ottawa and possibly NY Islander who I doubt can reach the wild card. I'd be fine running the table of doom and drop the last 8 to top off the pathetic season with a 9 game losing streak. If I hear Jeff Blashill say we're trying to win games and prepare just like we did in game 1 I'll puke. The stubborn genius never thought that maybe if he made some changes and tried new things we would suck as bad as we do...but nooooooooooooooo...lets keep doing what didn't work last season and what didnt work for 1/2 the season prior. |

for the sake of this team it's important to have Something positive going on during this stretch of 9 games. Mentally for the kids to finish with 9 loses COULD be devastating going into next season.
I'm puzzle with the need to tank and the need to keep the minds of our Young players as "positive and confident " as possible.
Something positive must happens before the end of this memorable season.

The positive is the season will be over hahaha. We knew we've been done for a while and passed up a good opportunity to teach through experience by using the kids in different key situations, if they make mistakes they'll learn from it and be better next season.
I just want the coach gone and dropping 9 will assist in the cause. Kids would be excited to play for a new coach, one who hasn't blown 2.5 seasons.
If we play well and lose I fine with it...likes last night 1-0 game. As long as we're competing and putting forth an effort it shouldn't negatively affect the youth.
