be nice if they show up for this one since it's Friday night and I don't have any homework.

I think this is where Tyler Bertuzzi's selfishness is starting to really hurt the team.   The only guy left in the NHL.    Next time he blows out a knee or separates his shoulder is he going to Joe Rogan to get it fixed?

Meh, Bertuzzi is one of dozens who have tested positive this season, he’s not that special in that regard.

I wish I had saved Shinma’s March 26-McCarty-Lemieux remember thread. 

[lordstanley]

Different team on road than at home. Already 3-0 Avs midway through 1st.

Of course Darren Helm would score on a breakaway against the Wings...

[lordstanley]

I didn’t know Helm was still in the league

Who missed the breakaway that would have tied an “09 SCF game in Pittsburgh late? Was it Helm or Maltby?

[1984Echoes]

Not looking so hot tonight either...

Was it this one?

 

[slothfacekilla]

The Wings look awful and disinterested

It probably was, although for some reason I thought it was Game 6 (too?)

[slothfacekilla]

Namestnikov scores his career 100th goal to make it 3-1 before intermission!  Nice pass by Suter, Wings needed something.  Saucer pass that even bounced a bit and Namestnikov settled it and buried it.

I feel like my brain refuses to remember specifics about this series

[lordstanley]

6 goals allowed on consecutive nights. 

[slothfacekilla]

I have tuned out then back in about four times at this point.  The game is a bit intriguing because the Avalanche are a fun team, but it is also rough to watch the Wings make some of these plays.

Also I thought Osgood was wrong on his Zadina criticism on the one goal, but I also don't know what kind of faceoff sets the Wings run.  Erne was lined up on the inside on the circle so I would figure he's supposed to stay in front of the net to defend and Zadina, who was lined up on the outside to the slot, was supposed to go to the point guy... but I am probably way off.  Either way Zadina, Erne, and Hronek looked like crap on that play it was quite sad.

[lordstanley]

Zadina could have had a hat trick tonight. 

[buddha]

i swear to god zadina couldnt score in a whorehouse with a $100 bill tied to his face.

[lordstanley]

Wings have tried their best the first 10 minutes of the 3rd to get back in this. Still 6-3 though.

when we talk about making the playoffs, this will be what happens.  a four or five game series where we get obliterated.

Should they make the playoffs they should be a better team with Vrana and Bertuzzi  ( and maybe Berggren) than what we see right now. So maybe a 4 or 5 game series where they lose close twice.

Doesn't matter if that's what happens.

Learning curve.

I'm waiting to see that.

Also, does Edvinsson make the team next year? Or at least 50/50 between Detroit & Grand Rapids?

Niederbach, Soderblom soon thereafter?

The rebuild keeps getting more and more interesting as we move along...
