You gotta love how cool he was defending the 2 on 1. It's like he knew that was gonna happen when he's playing with Holl.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but Drew Doughty talked about firing slapshots into guys knowing they may be blocked. But after getting stung with a few guys tend to back off and are less eager to do it so you start getting them thru more often.

They need to make sure the blocked shot doesn't get behind them but I wouldn't be mad if the Wings ripped more shots at the feet of defenders
We are longing for the days of Big Ericsson eh?
 
I don't get why we called Wallinder up to not play him. Same with Cossa awhile back.
So, Christmas movies. On Xmas Eve, I usually roll with the Ustinov, Ray, Bogart "We're No Angels", followed by Bill Murray's "Scrooged". "B*tch hit me with a toaster!"

I gotta run and get more Coke.

I just put Eyes Wide Shut on repeat.

Tank has time with the puck but blindly chips up the boards and doesn't get it out of the zone.

I have to wonder why you don't try and possess the puck there. Unless the coach wants you to just chip it out??
We are disjointed in all three zones. I went down with the ship on Blashill to point out I thought the team worked and the systems were in place but the talent was inept. It feels like these guys have quit on LaLonde and are trying to point out how stupid some of the concepts being preached are. Sorry but you have seen it in a few pressers too, there are problems in this dressing room.
 
Really the most predictable 1st period. Uninspired, no grit, no urgency, stick to their same plan that hasn't worked all season. The strategy, the execution, the effort, everything is just off.

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule ?

How are we suppose to watch 48 more of these.

There's definitely a total lack of any chemistry. This is not a super talented team but you do have Larkin, Raymond, Kane, Debrincat, Ed, Seider.

There should be moments of them having it together but they're so so rare.
 
Johansson on pace for a steady 12 minutes of ice time tonight

Just trade the kid and stop destroying his confidence
 
So, can someone explain Tank to me? I recognized the name when the trade happened and I figured he was a dude. How can he be so useless on O and D?
Shoulders are shot though he still unloads the odd heavy shot. Was good in a depth role in Florida and this isn’t Florida. Was surprised Larkin and Raymond couldn’t jump start him more.
