It was apparent that Green was not quite himself Tuesday in Washington in the second game of a back-to-back.
Green played just 15:46 against the Capitals, a season low.
Green and fellow veteran defenseman Jonathan Ericsson did not practice with the team at Belfor Training Center Thursday.
So if both cannot play be ready to greet good ol Lashoff !!

Mike Green is out 3-5 weeks. Filip Hronek recalled. I think we're a better team when Jonathan Ericsson doesn't dress. Tonight could be ugly or great. Both teams are BAAAD, nearly identical records and both under .500 in the last 10. Tonight is a game I honestly don't care one way or the other if we win or not. if Ottawa wins they pass is in the standings and push us closer to potential lottery chance  I just want to see younger players learn, develop, gain NHL experience and confidence. If we win hockey games so be it if not? No biggie, we'll be better in the future. because of it. |

Well the game tonight shows that while the Wings have some talent, they do have a long ways to go.
Lost 4-2 to Ottawa and the Wings couldn't muster enough chances overall. The team seems to be a bit out of gas. Perhaps that tough period going against Colorado, Boston, Washington, T-bay and Toronto took a lot out of them.
Injuries also hurt as they are without Green, Dekeyser and Mantha but other teams have injuries as well. The Wings can't afford any as the depth is not there.
Best news of the night, the announcers mentioned that the Wings have a ton of cap space and a great facility and a recent history of winning and that could attract some key players down the road.

this was a total disgrace.
That first period was bad as you cant imagine. The third goal given up by Howard was embarrassing, not surprising as Howard look like he was not totally there all night, a goalie you can't trust on just about any shot.
Actually only Larkin really cares, plays hard. The rest ?...look at AA and you get your answer. Floating and floating again.
Well with this new longterm injury to Green i think its time to give up on this team and trade whatever assets we can trade. Don't wait to trade Howard cause he might play more games like the one tonight...and if he does no one will want him, but that's would be normal.
Sad display, the Sens can't win on the road but that was before they faced the Wings...

I don't think we were ready and we really fell asleep for a good bit, I don't know why Larkin elected to go to the bench to get a stick instead of covering the man..lead to a 2 on 1 and Goal 1.
Goal 2 I didn't like. an NHL netminder has to stop shots when he can see the shooter.
I did like the hockey god karma goal for Larkin...dude falls down like a beginner skater yet Larks goes for 2 for tripping...BOOM..scores straight out of the box on a nice read by Nielsen.
The GWG goal was all on Howard, Kronwall and somewhat on Jensen. A harmless shot thrown at the net that Howard lets trickle through all while Kronwall stands around letting the man tap in the puck just sitting there.
Has anyone seen AA lately? He is missing in action pretty much the last few games. Hopefully he shows up tonight in NYI.

A good goalie in net and the Wings win last night. Same old same old BS! Bernier gets a shot to redeem himself tonight. Have no clue what will happen. One would think the Wings get thumped again. Sooooo they probably win. |

Howard did not hear Dick "from the stands" but I did hear Dick from the seat next to me. Howard this, Howard that, over and over. LOL Met Dick's wife and daughter at the game last night and a fun time was had by all, er, most of us. Dick I got a happy birthday wish today from guess who - Ron Krueger. Hope he is doing well. |

You left before the game was over. AFTER the final horn I yelled ..."NICE JOB HOWARD"....he heard me...the whole section heard me. Not proud of it. Actually wish I had kept my mouth shut. Oh well. Glad to hear Ron is still above the dirt...Was good seeing you....Briley was sick all the way home too. Caught some bug. We had to pull over to hurl:(. She gave it the ole college effort. Even ordered a Sprite with her beer:). HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris! Hope you have many more! Would love to go to that game in Montreal BUT will wait until the team improves. Don't want to see another game like last night in person. Hey Pierre! Lets shoot for 2021! Guessing the team will be better by then? LGRW!!! |
