I'm in LA for a birthday party so the game starts at 10:00 local time. Now I know better what Shawn goes through in Texas. Anyone for a beer? Ha ha.
Smells like burnt garlic outside. Does garlic grow naturally in California?

Well at least I’m only an hour earlier than Eastern Time..noon start for me.
That was a good period for us...couple seconds of soft coverage and we’re down by 1.

Thanks Howard! Woods pleasantly ripped him:) Used to want Howard gone. Now I want him to stay and continue to be one of the worst starting goalies in NHL history ? Amusing now as the thought of playoffs was gone before the season. The Wings NEED to lose as many games as possible if you want them ever to contend again. Not only this year but for the next half decade or so. Venting over!

BUT few were run out there as much as him after being deemed...average at best.

I liked the sarcastic cheers when Jimmy stopped a shot.
Mrazek starts the 3rd and gives up one...5-1...this game was over 1/2 thru the second period.

Domination in the first 30 mins but fragile domination when you have goalies like we do. And then AGAIN you look at the opponent's goalie and you understand why we don't win much.
And then we gave up...
Nothing more to say really.
oh yes...one thing. What's the point to recall Lil Bert if you don't play him ? He logged more minutes late in the game cause we were out of it but not early.

Nothing makes a lot of sense Pierre. Keep giving Z 20+ minutes a night and he hasn’t scored a goal in 20 some odd games. I love Hank but he needs 12-15 minutes a game or retire.
The top minutes should go to Larkin, Mantha and AA and they should be on the same line. Frk, Bertuzzi and Neilsen would have worked too. In the first on the power play we had the puck in the offensive zone for basically the entire 2:00 when the kids were out there, generated some real good looks. What Blashill do the next power play? Goes with Z, Abby, Nyquist and Tats...not a shot on goal.
We have $9,000,000 tied up in netminders who can’t stop a beachball. It may be time to call up whoever we have in GR to see if they can stop a puck when we need it.

We outplayed one of the best teams in the league by a wide margin through 35 minutes. Shots 19-8, scoring chances probably 10-4, score 0:4. How this is even possible, so frustrating. And I hated “cheers” for Howard, this is not the way to root for your team and the players.

Been out of town visiting relatives and didn't see any of the game. Sounds like it was a real stinker. Howard couldn't stop a "beach ball" and the math teacher still making his curious decisions and line combos. Resulting in another blow out. Z still gonna take us to the promised land? Probably not.

What Blashill do the next power play? Goes with Z, Abby, Nyquist and Tats...not a shot on goal. . I saw exactly the same thing...and i laugh at it...or cry ! what can we do but to think that this coach is afraid of the vets and the last thing he wants is to have them against him
