So I was watching the NBC thread and t some point they said something to the effect the Wings "only have 10 road wins." Sounded like a lot. Well, we only have 10 wins total - ouch. And now 73 goal overall minus as a team.
At the beginning I thought we actually played with some structure. Good PP, good D zone break outs. But Chi chipped away. And we had a few bad breaks. That non-call on the trip/interference at the end was killer. I also didn't see the non-whistle when Daley was hurt but Lorene was downstairs screaming about it.

Funny I watched the first period, started channel surfing and forgot to tune back in. I figured with 4 goal Jimmy we’d need to score 5 or better. I remembered while in the shower this morning. Just checked and we lost 4-2 and I just laughed....all you can do.
I saw a YouTube clip of The Joe abandoned...sad sight and comparable to the current state of our team....sad!
I also watched 44 minutes of Pavel Datsyuk highlights....dude was awesome and I miss seeing #13 being a Red Wing.

I go in semi regularly to watch Pavel highlights too and it always gives me great pleasure. My 3 favourite hockey players of all time are Gordie, Stevie Y and Pavel. In no particular order but Pavel had a unique skill set that's never been duplicated in the history of the game IMO. I sometimes wonder how many points he could have put up if he just wanted to be a point machine and forget about the other aspects of the game like some of the big scorers tend to do.

10 wins. Three occured in the first four games of the season. Remember how that felt? Then . . . all this. When’s the TDL?

Z is quickly Learning how to play without the puck, his defensive positioning is improving shift by shift, his intensity is better then most except Helm.
He needs to buckle up some extra pounds for next season and he will probably reach 20 goals next season. Right now he is one of the only player who plays his game regardless of the State of the Wings. Some get discouraged, like Larks, but Z plays his game and does it well.
For the rest well..another lost, at least at times there was hope of a good result...but they don't believe they can win so why should we ? When your best overall defense is Hronek, a defense who, on a good team, should be on the second pairing, and when Nemeth is your best shut down D ..we are in trouble !
Now pull the trigger SY, trade ANY of our goalie (except Larsson) to CBJ who needs a goalie right now.. Do it for any kind of return..

I noticed Z is getting better every game and not looking like a deer in the headlights, he's looking like he belongs in the NHL  . This is why I want the kids to play, I don't care if they are too green yet...if the have the skills play them over vets who are not in our future. There would be zero pressure on them as we're not going anywhere and mistakes won't matter other than a good learning experience for the youth who IS in the future plans. |
