[biggunsbob]

well it's fairly obvious what the summary of this game will be

red wing power play !!!!!!!

 

[UMRules06]

red wing power play !!!!!!!

yes and penalty kill all 3 Tampa goals were PP goals.

 

[Mawilli]

This team is going nowhere until they get a top pairing defenseman. Ericsson is trash aND kronwall is done.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yup verses a pp that is suppose to be bad. But 1 for 24 on the pp stinks and it's why I don't understand the Mantha move. Why bring him up at all if you don't plan on using him for the playoffs? I mean at least he likes to camp in front of the goal. We need more big guys.. Get him playoff experience and then send him back down to Gr.

 

[UMRules06]

Red Wings are just missing top end talent. Kucherov and Johnson are beating us by themselves. Hedman has been a beast this series too. Their stars are shining, and they don't even have Stamkos playing among others.

Our specialty teams just blow..
Our defense is bad.
This is the worst Red Wing passing since the 1980's.
We don't have a real goal scoring sniper .

If i'm not mistaken, I think the Wings actually had the puck 99% of the 3rd period until Tampa's powerplay with 4:42 left.

This

All the speed in the world and the motherfuckers cant pass. It's mind-boggling.

I dont know if anyone remembers the Duck series in '03(swept), but if you do, you'll remember we had the puck about 80% of the series and the Ducks had nary a shot on goal. When they did shoot, it went in about 80% of the time. That 3rd period tonight felt awfully familiar. Lol

Tatar
2014-15 ...82 games 29 goals 27 assists for 56 points.
2015-16....81 games 21 goals 24 assists for 44 points.

Nyquist
2014-15... 82 games 27 goals 27 assists for 54 points.
2915-16...82 games 17 goals 26 assists for 43 points.

And its just not them Hank had 66 points last season and only 50 this .
Pavel had 65 last season and only 49 this year.
Thank god Larkin showed up to help this season but those are big drop offs.

Seems to happen alot to the wings in the playoffs. To be fair tonight Tampa bay controlled the first half of this game. But why do we always run into the hottest goalie on the planet and the luckiest.

We need bigger guys on the pp in front of the goaile..

 

[lucke]

Must be nice to have a goalie with the skill of a high school player but is the biggest goalie in the league. That alone covers up for a lot of TB mistakes. That said, we still need to take advantage of opportunities.

No disruption whatsoever. Need someone who pisses everybody off and gets in their head.

Hey, arent we still paying Franzen?

How predictable is this series so far? Same old shit, Wings out in the first round. The PP sucks, Mantha should be with the team right now for that reason alone, Joakim Andersson is a shitty NHL hockey player. Mrazek should have been in net from the get-go, why they would play that choker Howard is baffling. Stupid personell decisions could very well be why they had no chance to win the series.

The question is is Holland handling as young players correctly I mean we can say that making the playoffs 25 years in a row is a great thing but realstically some of our younger players have been handled terribly Jurco, Pulkkinen. Maybe Mantha many others ? Yes Holland has been real good. But has he adapted and got betterThis defense is shot. His moves are pedestrian stop gap type moves.


Is Pulkkinen worth anything anymore ? Why not move him if your not going to play the younger players. Some of which won a AHL title two years ago
