Have not seen them play in weeks. They keep this up and I will have to buy back the Center Ice package. Was following the Caps game online and saw that in the first period they were outshooting the Caps 14-1? Ended up 30-20 or so but still an L. Now that they probably screwed their draft position I can start rooting hard for them to back door a playoff spot! Would love an April/May Wings playoff/Tigers DH in Motown! Just like old times  My youngest daughter Abby(20...getting old:)has been asking me to take her and a friend up for a game. Wings up to 23rd in the CBS power rank...not that it matters but does show improvement. LGBLUE...BEAT ohio! LGRW!!! |

Another hard fought battle. We deserve better i think. So many chances missed. Some Strange decision by our beloved coach (is he losing his marbles ?) Why oh why should Abby still play with Larks and mo ?? When you look at the action of this line Abbys is never involved, it's Always a duo (even if at times tonight Mantha floated again) Abby should not be there. Period !
Put Vanek there !! I mean..i can understand after his injury that Blashill would play on the 4th just to get his legs back but now the tryout is over, we need him with a scoring line. Wonder why Vanek is frustrated and got into a scrum in the third, somethign we see rarely.
Green probably played his best game as a Wing…
Anyway..it is a point afterall...

Didn't see the game but saw the boxscore. Why is AA shooting 5th in the shootout? I know Nielsen and Vanek have a great history in the shootout and maybe Larkin gets the nod because he is our besat player and leader. But AA gets more breakaway chances than anybody and generally looks very good in them. Perhaps if he had shot before Nyquist we would have gotten an extra point out of tonight's game. Might be a little second guessing after the fact but I think AA should be one of our first shooters...not our 5th round guy.

Well Karma has a way of evening things out over the long run- and it's done just that over the last few games. Remember all those games that we DIDN'T DESERVE to win? Well we played good enough to win last night and tonight but only got a losers point. The last two games we've had like 5-6 breakaways and converted on zero. Is this the curse of Darren "stone hands" Helm being put on the entire team while he's out hurt? Larkin, Mantha, Rasmussen, and Bert jr were animals out there. Even Daley and Nielsen looked good. We got back into this game b playing hard- nosed hockey and took it to shootout. That's the good part of the story. Once again Howard was a wall out there. But what happened to our special teams? We miss Helm on the PK more than we thought we would. And the Power Play? I am thinking maybe Blashill stuck his nose into Blysma's business and monkey-wrenched a good thing.
Whether you are a Blashill lover or hater you have got to scratch your head over how he let's Abdelkader anywhere near the shoot out. If I were the coach, I would go through all of my forwards and a few defensemen (Green, Cholowski and Jensen) before I'd give the shootout puck to Abby. The guy has proven he has zero instincts for how to beat a goalie one-on-one. Yet there he was, in the spotlight. Shame on you Blashill what the heck were you thinking? Don''t try and justify your choice of Justin- you can't!

Well stated, Powayslugger, well stated.
The coach seems to find ways to monkey with what works and screw it up.

I never got this teams love for Abby. Sure scores dirty goals that bounce off him, rebounds around the net etc. he works hard and plays hard but he's a bottom 6 on any team in the league. Why he gets top 6 is beyond me. And to throw him out there in a SO twice just recently? I'd rather see Jimmy Howard have a try than Abby on a SO.
We played a strong game and have been competitive to better teams in the league.
I'm impressed by Larkin at center...he's winning draws and looking solid. He should wear the "C". I personally hate not not having a captain, its almost like a rudderless ship and not something an original 6 team should dick with.

I thought this was one of the most entertaining games of the season. The PP was pretty awful, other than that good quality hockey.
