I want this to be the team waking up, but it just might be two bad teams.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just fucking pathetic.

We should have 5 goals already and our defense let's I guy skate in uncontested and now it's a 1 goal game .

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings are just playing freaking awful right now. Should be blowing this team out but we just can't score ..too many blown chances to score.

 

[biggunsbob]

The wings defense needs to rebuilt. It is just really bad.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings pp.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lousy period by the wings. .wife wants tv for a bit so I sure hope we hold on.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just get the Damn empty netter please. Nothing is easy for this team.

 

[biggunsbob]

We always seem to ice it at bad times too,

Of course I want the streak to continue but this team is going nowhere in the playoffs. Only possible saving grace if they do make it is that the Caps have a history of almost never getting out of the first round.

These one-goal games are nail biters and they shouldn't be. Wings are not playing tough along the boards in their zone, losing battles and keeping bad teams in the game. And they are not burying their chances. Hate to say it, but Hank looked terrible. Hope he gets a goal soon and gets his confidence back.

The main problem right now is that it's too late to lose. Detroit isn't going to swing down 10 spots in the standings over the next few games. The most likely scenario even if they miss is that they will be the LAST team to miss the playoffs. They would have a 3% chance of actually jumping up in the draft. This is compounded further by the fact that there isn't a truly elite defenseman (the team's greatest need) at the top of the draft anyway.

At a very basic level, this team is not in position to blow up. Too many of our players are too young and too important to the future. Selling off Hank, or Kronwall, or Howard doesn't appreciably improve or diminish the team. Blowing up the defense doesn't help because we cant get much worse, and nobody we would want to move has much value.

I want to keep the streak alive because the alternative doesn't make us any better down the line.

It is vert frustrating that we are so stuck... What happened to Smith? Is he hurt or just the really in the far out behind the barn Dog house ?
