It's weird that Ras has room to take that wrap around to the net or come out in front, but he goes wide and throws a pass.

I'd like to see him just come out and take it to the dang net.

I dunno if Berggren is on this team next season.

So far, not a terrible road 2d period for the Wings...

So far...

Burgers needs to decide whether he wants to be a hockey player or not

 

[JoesuffP]

Like there that turnover should really be Berggrens. Where does he think the puck is going to go he’s flying the zone with no thought of receiving the pass. Turnover when it was an easy out and a chance up ice

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It was a clean hit.

Whereas Lindgren gave Larkin multiple high crosschecks.

I like Burgers and I want to love him. But.

Grand Rapids needs wins too.

NHL player, I would say. He could easily prosper in lesser leagues... and he has more than enough talent for this one if he can figure it out.

And he’ll dominate there he just needs the open ice and he’s not afforded it with this team

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Not having the normal Wings intermission broadcast makes these games even harder to watch.

 

[JoesuffP]

I keep watching and wondering why they’re so ineffective. It’s like the forwards are pissed at the defensmen because they’re sick of backchecking and not being rewarded. They seem to be over skating a step late to everything and working way too hard for their chances

It's just commercials and a Tigers feature anyway.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Hey Avs, I know you have a poor history of figuring out a guy gets what he deserves, but don't be mad at Raymond for that hit on Lindgren. Tell that chump not to repeatedly cross check our captain up high.

 

[13to40]

I dunno if Berggren is on this team next season.

He’s pretty useless so I hope not.

Isn’t good enough for top 6. Can’t play tough enough for bottom 6. He’s soft as charmin. Can make a killing in the KHL… or force a trade to a team like Chicago and play alongside Veleno.

that's what I meant. It's more entertaining listening to Ozzy Keats and Mick than watch endless commercials and a boring piece on the Tigers.

Totally with you there, except I think this is the "normal" intermission anymore

 

[Luceni]

This game needs some magic in the third period....

Really? Any idea why they don't have the usual guys?

A offensive d-man would be pretty neat.

Preferably Swedish and with a great shot.

 

[FMichael]

I guess maybe I should lower my already ridiculously low expectations?

Besides the last couple minutes, that did not look like a desperate team. Larkin and Raymond continue to be absolutely invisible. I understand good players won't get 2 points every game, but at least try to look noticeable. Larkin is just out for a skate again

Raymond is either injured or exhausted because he looks horrible, and has been bad for a while now

Must agree...And to think if these guys cannot handle the rigors of a 82 game reg season - there's no way they'll survive past the 1st round of the playoffs.

 

[theYman]

2nd period kinda sucked. Man how can a PK be this bad? Every team goes 1/1 or 1/2 easily against us.

 

[dalem177]

It was a clean hit.

Whereas Lindgren gave Larkin multiple high crosschecks.

I still say drop the gloves and drop the rest of the season. Start not accepting being bullied.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I wonder how Trevor Thompson feels about being a spokesperson for FanDuel instead of a broadcaster.
