If we can't bounce back from a not so good week-end, it will probably means that this season is a repetition from last season, after a good start...we flunk !
Let's hope for the best. More soon.

You hit the nail on the head and I'm feeling the same that nothing may have changed from last season. Sloppy defensive play, turnovers ending up in the back of our net, bad line changes, getting scored on in the closing and opening minutes of periods/games and we're a .500 team and will end up with 82 points Also I think Howard got us some points we probably shouldn't have gotten..they're still my team and I'll continue to watch and support them. But I'm hoping we're wrong and can get back on track when DK and AA get in the mix. Lets start tonight with a win. The real test will be Thursday's game to see how we stack up against Tampa Bay

Red Wings lines at skate:
Nyquist-Zetterberg-Mantha; Tatar-Larkin-Abdelkader; Helm-Nielsen-Frk; Wilson-Glendening-Booth/Witkowski.
Red Wings D:
Ericsson-Daley Kronwall-Green Ouellet-Jensen DeKeyser skating also.
Howard should be in goal

I'd like to see Frk and Abdelkader swapped I think a Tatar, Larkin and Frk could do some damage.

The way they spanked the Pens and the way we usually play them tells me we don't stand a chance...and if we win that'll be the surprise of the season.

Helm-Nielsen-Frk just does not work. First of all, Helm works only as a 4th line player and second, Nielsen is not the type of center Frk needs.

AA has to pass a physical before he can play and will be with the team on the road trip.
This wasn’t the first period I was hoping for...didn’t look too good to me.

another of those non urgent type of performance. Late in the game the same 6 players played the last 3 minutes of the game. Mantha wasn't one of those (except the last 25 seconds and he look like he didnt care....to play for Blashill.
Mantha...as non visible he can sometimes be MUST be on the ice when we need a goal.
Bad coaching no desire to win at all cost, except when it was too late.
It doesn't look too good for the rest of this season...unless some drastic move is made.

You don’t win games in which you don’t score.
Howard looked pretty good other than their wrap aroung goal which never should happen.

Everything I see says this coach has lost this team. Team started out good, probably doing things their way. Then I'm sure the math teacher started preaching stuff the "team needed to work on. Then the team started rebelling. Why do you think AA held out so long? I think his message was he didn't want to play for this coach.

How many scoring chances we had in 60 minutes? Like 2?
