For the Wings' sake, hoping Compher isn't the only one with diarrhea tonightGo to the bathroom for 2 minutes while it's 1-0, come back and we're winning 2-1. I know where I'll be the rest of the night.

Say hi to Comphy for me!Go to the bathroom for 2 minutes while it's 1-0, come back and we're winning 2-1. I know where I'll be the rest of the night.
Do you just live to troll? They were playing shit, it might have gotten ugly. And still can. They’re doubling us in shots and Talbot has bailed us out.
Both things can be true. DBC made a fantastic play showing really great offensive awareness. We’re still overall playing like ass.
you and JT Compher alike!Go to the bathroom for 2 minutes while it's 1-0, come back and we're winning 2-1. I know where I'll be the rest of the night.
By the eye test, NJ had the puck practically the entire first 18 minutes. Created a bunch of good chances that were lucky they only converted on once.if u r judging the game by the shot total fine.
but by the eye test game was even.

Scoring chances were 6 to 4 in NJ favor. There were periods of perimeter play out of them. We are going to allow teams to do that with as big as our D is and how they clog lanes.By the eye test, NJ had the puck practically the entire first 18 minutes.

If you think this game has been even, I'm worried about your eyesight
And in the first 18 minutes, that would've been 6-2 or 6-1 I'm guessing.Scoring chances were 6 to 4 in their favor. There were periods of perimeter play out of them. We are going to allow teams to do that with as big as our D is and how they clog lanes.

I walked directly into these. Well done gents.you and JT Compher alike!
sure NJD had a bit more possession but they did F all with it. a few extra floaters to the net.By the eye test, NJ had the puck practically the entire first 18 minutes. Created a bunch of good chances that were lucky they only converted on once.

I don't think New Jersey was super threatening with a lot of that is sort of the point. I still would rather possess the puck more than we have thus far.And in the first 18 minutes, that would've been 6-2 or 6-1 I'm guessing.
Dude I’m so tired of getting outplayed yet score wise making it look close so people don’t think there’s anything wrong. Even though we are winning we cannot continue to play like this, it is not good play and not sustainable.
Not unlikely at all actually, our 5v5 play metrics last year were abysmal. We have that as a huge sample size and it keeps happening this year again. I think it’s a lot likelier we keep getting out played like this against good teams than not.yes I agree -- it's very unlikely that the Wings opponents will continue to outshoot us by a 3:1 ratio. That shit is unsustainable.
That's why I'm blissfully unconcerned about our current stats and thankful to bank a few points despite our bad luck and mediocre play. When we revert to the mean we're going to tear shit up SON
oh by the by -- drink of the evening, a really strong rum old fashioned -- this thing is half Foursquare at about 61% ABV and the rest is whatever else I found handy.
I think the Tal-Bot looks pretty good so far.I don't think New Jersey was super threatening with a lot of that is sort of the point. I still would rather possess the puck more than we have thus far.
i would say NJD has possession but DRW did a good job defeneding. In my books that is not "playing like shyt" or "being dominated"Sometimes I just don’t know what you guys are seeing. I don’t know if it’s Homer glasses or what but they dominated possession and puck control for the majority of the period. You can’t just say “well the danger chances are similar” it does not work that way. On average the team who has more possession will majority of time finish the game with more good chances. Hence why this style of play is not sustainable. We played the exact same way last year, just with better shooting luck. Lalondes systems do not work.
That's fair. I just think you'd have to be pretty biased to think that was an even period, which was what the poster I quoted was saying.I don't think New Jersey was super threatening with a lot of that is sort of the point. I still would rather possess the puck more than we have thus far.

I guess I’m a downer around these parts but I see myself as more of a realist. The team overall kinda sucks and I don’t like the personnel decisions in terms of FA signings and player deployment so I make those thoughts known. But I really love the drafting and think guys like Ed, ASP and Buch are gonna be stars.stay strong, little trooper, if the Devils keep getting 18 shots a period they'll catch up
(now I will say, among the Debbie Downers, you might be the least bad -- you're not just a one-note incessant drum beat of doom like some. The season is young and we've come out of the gates slowly offensively, and yet...we have 6 points in as many games. Count your blessings, not your problems.)
