Seider and Edvinsson both made great passes to set up goals.  Shame our forwards limit their opportunities to do that more frequently

They should sign or draft better ones.

Yes, Edvinsson was down below the face off dot when he threaded that needle to Kane. With his size it doesn’t seem like he should be so nimble but he is. 

Can we please get ASP on a training program and bulk him up to grown man weight? Maybe we might be on the way to having a good defensive core.

I'm so annoyed that the Wings waited until they were basically eliminated to play like last night lol.  Go figure.

Almost as annoyed as having the 12th best record in the league and missing the playoffs but they can only blame themselves for blowing multiple games they should have won, in regulation mostly too.  I had to take a little Red Wings break earlier this week I was so frustrated.

lol, true, I actually got ticked off on the 5-2 goal. That - and scoring 3 after falling behind 4-0 to Philly and scoring 3 after falling behind 4-1 to Minnesota - makes them look like headcases.

Jealous of Habs fans. Hard to believe that just 3 weeks ago today I was making a 9 hour drive from Sarnia to Montreal with the Wings and Habs tied in the standings. It was the morning after I had been at LCA watching the Wings beat the Habs on a late winner. Now Montreal is 13 pts ahead of the Wings and in a 3-way battle for 1st in the Atlantic.
