This Arizona team has yet to win a game in regular this season. No way we can afford to lose this one. No way we can afford to even look bad against them. If we do...well...euh..i will be mad !  |

They got an OT win last night....they are HOT, we better watch out, they're flying high  Looks like same line up as last game for us. We'll probably look bad, thinking they'll be tired because they played last night. We need to rack up wins and points against the weaker teams... |

Will Blashill get fired if we lose to Arizona at home?

Will Blashill get fired if we lose to Arizona at home? I got a feeling we are not even close from seeing that. It will take a terrible losing streak for that to happen. Unless KH feels pressure for his own job i don't think he remembers how to fire a coach... And if it happens i don't think i'd like to see Nelson in. I'd rather go to an outsider...maybe Tippett ? It's time to change the mentality of these players. Coaches that come from the Wings coach factory arent necessary what we need now. We need an electro choc !! |

Will Blashill get fired if we lose to Arizona at home? It will probably take a 5 wins in 30-40 game run before he'll get fired. He should have gotten canned after last season or mid season last year. Shit I'd fire him now for sticking with Daley - Ericsson pairing or even dress in Ericsson...he's been unbelievably bad Pierre, good point, we need an outsider but who is available? We missed out on Gallant and Hitchcock ...who's available? |

We missed out on Gallant and Hitchcock ...who's available? Michel Therrien ?? lol Kidding of course..but look at the Habs now, maybe Therrien wasn't a bad coach afterall. I seriously would consider Tipett, unless he'd ask for 5y/25m |

I like Tipett and think he's a fine coach. I liked him when he was here in Dallas.

Tipett works for me. A close friend of mine played with him for the U. North Dakota for 2 years when they won National Championships. Can you say great seats ? Oh - I think he's an excellent coach too.

when was the last time we dominate a period like this ??....and the Nyquist goal didnt touch anything...something is wrong with Mick's eyes..
its only 2 zip though...the Yotes were coming on late in the period.
And Howard almost gave up a freebie...boy he look like my 8 year old son on the play...

One shot game as Mickey said - where's the intensity now ? Better turn this around.

Wings hanging on to a 1 goal lead with 3 minutes left.
Off of Howard's stick and into the net. A bit unlucky for him as it was going high.
Looks like the Larkin-Mantha-AA line is working. Lots of scoring chances and the reason for the team being up 4-3 late in the game.
Edit- Helm gets an empty net goal
5-3 with 90 seconds left.
Good win for the team. Not perfect but good enough against the Yotes.

man are we a defensive nightmare ! After a good first period the rest was a comedy in our zone. And with about a minute to play up by one Green and Kroner, who were awful on defense, stayed on the ice after the third Yotes goal.
Tell me why ?? Blashill had a brain fart. He was Lucky we scored an empty netter.
We need to bring a kid from GR, someone by the name of Hicketts.
and bring Nelson too...he would not have left Green and Kroner on the ice late 6 on 4 and just up by one.
Z probably had his worst game of the season. Late in the game he was on the ice...desperately tring to score on an empty net, twice he did that but lost the puck ! If you think of the team first you don't do that, you keep the puck in deep and think defense.
Larks line was our best but for some reason i feel they still don't have Blashill respect. They should play more than around 15-16 minutes.
Overall it was not a fun game to Watch, well the last 40 minutes. We need to tighten that defense, too much room between the forward and the Ds.
