Obviously their best streak of the year. These are the type of games it seems the Wings play well and manage at least a point...lets hope not as far as the points go. Kane has been unbelievable this season. Hope to see Larkin reach his level some day. Have found that playing Draft Kings has made it easier to root for the Wings to fail:)...which is badly needed these next few seasons. Two or three GREAT players are needed desperately. At least in the NHL like MLB all that get in the playoffs have a shot. In the soap opera NBA and the NFL only a few have a legitimate shot. And as long as Belicheat knows what plays are coming (obviously still spying somehow) that number is even lower. Enjoy the game today! LGWD!!!

Yeah, Larkin is rounding out into a solid performer but we still don't have a scoring threat of a Kane or Kucherov caliber. We really need a Zadina or someone to grow into that role. Mantha to me looks more and more like a flop relative to his early hype.

Mantha to me looks more and more like a flop relative to his early hype. Just read a Kahn article on Zadina from a couple days ago. Looks like he will get some games later this season but obviously not nine. Best thing about the article were the comments. Only read the first one from Johnny Cakes 44 that already declared 19 year old Zadina...."a bust"...Ahh a new age Doom & Gloomer!  |

Three in a row! The Wings are now 30th overall with only Ottawa at two points behind the Wings BUT Ottawa has a game in hand. The ONLY thing left to play for now is getting the 18.5 % chance to pick first. The Wings actually should have won today but thats the way the puck bounces. Oh well!

some notes..
Ward stole this one. he made countless key saves... Had we play a whole 60 minutes(terrible first period)we might have won this one.
Bernier couldnt make a key save tonight, that 4th goal was a killer, just after floater Mantha in an unacceptable way shot wide in a Glorious scoring chance with 3 minutes to play ...then floated back to our zone.
Creeping close to Bottom...

some notes.. Creeping close to Bottom... To me, maybe I'm a homer, but I think we have much better than bottom dweller talent. Wonder what Holland's thinking. Does he think the same thing? Then what needs to change? |

The Wings are bottom dwellers fellas. Even this sunshiner must admit that. They are a -30 in goal differential. Third worst. They have won 21 games in regulation. Tied for last. On the bright side they are 27th in goals scored? This team needs a few great players. We all know that. So SUCK IS THE MANTRA for now! Agree with 13....play well, develop and lose by one in regulation is what is best for the organization! LGDRAFT!!!

There are 26 games left to our season placement of the bottom 7-8... teams could change daily. There are just not too many points of separation the basement dwellers. Draft lottery placement could come down to 82nd game of the season.

Draft lottery placement could come down to 82nd game of the season. Things can and will change daily, true. That being said I hope the Kings get two points in Washington tonight! |

To me it's the friends I've made (you guys), the beer, and the draft. Roughly in that order. And, oh, the game our local team now sucks at....

When they do play well it brings some enjoyment. When they win it brings no joy at all. Makes me feel like they got further away from ever contending. This team NEEDS to lose in regulation as much as possible for the next few YEARS! The next time we go to a playoff game of significance you may need a walker! REALITY! LGDRAFT! |

I enjoy the game of hockey...played by anyone but the Detroit Red Wings at the moment. You can call me a doom and gloomer IDGAF about that, reality is what it is I suppose. As I mentioned we've been toast really since october sans one lucky winning streak to fake the fans into thinking they might be improving. The eye of the prize is the DRAFT and only the DRAFT. We already know KH does Jack Schitt at trade deadlines except standing still and into the summer. He makes no deals other that resigning players who we should let walk, over pays them in salary and duration. We might be able to move Nyquist and a slim to none chance on Howard. Knowing this and that we wont make any moves doesn't make for a very fun DRW life at the moment. Why should we expect anything different? I wanted Holland and Blashill gone 2 seasons ago. I'm anticipating doin nothing really other that the draft or letting some UFA's leave. Yay team  |
