This game is a must win. We must beat Montreal.

Wings are 6 points behind with 6 games left. With 5 of the last six on the road.

Nashville out shot Montreal 35-17 or thereabouts tonight had a bunch of power plays and the Montreal goalie wasn’t even that good and they still lost 2-1 Sunday night. Probably does us in.

Rangers have 32 regulation wins over Montreal and Detroit’s 28, and islanders 27. I doubt any of these teams catches the rangers for that tiebreaker.

 

[biggunsbob]

Up 1-0 after one and Detroit is out shooting Montreal 24-5 at the 17:54 mark of the second period.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings kind of getting out played last few minutes.

 

[biggunsbob]

What a dumb penalty by us….So stupid.
Back to back power plays for Montreal.
Such a lazy clearing pass by us.
Delay of game.
Wings killed back to back power plays.

 

[biggunsbob]

It’s amazing how many puck battles we seem to lose, and face offs.
Please stop icing the puck.

 

[biggunsbob]

Montreal just committed two penalties. I think neither were called. Such a dirty team. Clear high stick to the face was missed and someone slashed at our guys ankles. Ridiculous misses.

 

[biggunsbob]

Typical lazy zone play where our guys get out worked and they score to make it 1-1 . Three guys on one and he scores. Out shooting this shit team 30-11 and it’s tied. Embarrassing defensive coverage.

We had a Wide open net and he misses….

 

[biggunsbob]

Finally a Detroit Power play. My god Steve find some damn goal scorers. Wings fail again on power play.

Out freaking shooting them 32-11 Game is tied 1-1 . Embarrassing team Steve has put together.

 

[biggunsbob]

Raymond great scoring chance and cant bury it.. He was in all alone full steam.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings so getting out worked in the third.

 

[biggunsbob]

That could be it. Defense lapse again cost the wings. Failed to cover.
Trail 2-1. Only 9 left..

wings get a power play with 8 ish left.

 

[biggunsbob]

We lose so many face offs. Back to back face off losses. Just an embarrassing power play by first unit. 2nd just a tad better.
Another embarrassing power play.

Wings are so getting out played in the 3rd.

 

[biggunsbob]

It really must be nice to have a goalie that stands on his head and steals games. Montreal goalie did the same thing in Nashville.
our goalie has made some great saves. Just not as many as the other goalies sometimes.

 

[biggunsbob]

2:44 left wings pull goalie.Can we win a damn face off.
Wings need a miracle now. 1:18 left.
Larkin wins face off and we can’t get a shot on goal and they hit the goal from defensive zone. We never do that. 3-1
Another empty netter makes it 4-1

Out shot them by 15. Third period was bad though.

 

[biggunsbob]

So when are the kids going to save us Steve ?

9 years running and no playoffs. 1% chance now.

 

[gotime909]

Another year of no playoffs. Stevie Y or Stevie Why?
