GDT: Game 9 | Calgary Flames @ Detroit Red Wings | 7:30 PM EST | FS-D (HD)

[WingedWheel1987]

This team is definitely a contender.

 

[aar000n]

well i guess the Wings lose this one no pp for us but cal after cal for the flamers.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

You mean Kindl, who is...

#nevergoingtobeagoodNHLdefenseman?

FUnny thing is, if Kindl was playing over Lashoff or Quincey, you'd be supportive of Kindl.

 

[theYman]

Hudler with a hatrick and Kipper shutting us out. Might as well...aye boys?

 

[detredWINgs]

Team looks like it's mailing it in tonight.

Mailing it in? No. This is just our team. This is all our defense is capable of.

 

[dtones520]

Not in detroit.

Not anywhere Kindl is horrible.

 

[DRWCountryClub]

Positive about being down two this early.

Datsyuk might go into beast mode. Let's hope.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Mailing it in? No. This is just our team. This is all our defense is capable of.

I was trying to stay positive.

 

[CloneHakanPlease*]

Look away from my TV, look back and see Quincey going to the box.

AND THEY SCORE.......................

Team looks like it's mailing it in tonight.

Or maybe we just are no longet a top team? All these anti panic threads have given people such unrealistic expectations. The 2008-9 wings would have a tough time with all these injuries, let alone the borderline playoffteam we are now

 

[theYman]

Can we all finally admit alot of Howard's success is due to playing behind Lidstrom?

 

[Frk It]

Hfboards

where one game tells you everything about a team

and one play tells you everything about a player

wait.... that doesn't make sense does it?

His playoff sv% is under 90. He is a mediocre goalie, always been.

 

[Frk It]

Can we all finally admit alot of Howard's success is due to playing behind Lidstrom?

Because of 10 games where he hasn't got to sit 1 yet, and behind a terrible defense?

I'm going to go with NO.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

This is painful to watch.

 

[SoupNazi]

Can I buy a goal, please?

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Kipprusoff back to old form.... Coincidentally against the Wings...

 

[Laser Rayzor]

[WingedWheel1987]

I don't even know why Gator shoots. He is never going to score.

 

[Sameheda]

Apparently it's Datsyuk vs. the Flames.

Playing behind Lidstrom? How about playing behind Lidstrom along with Stuart along with White along with...You get the point.

This isn't about Lidstrom. This about having a competent defense. Goaltenders, outside of the superstars, look like **** in front of bottom 5 defenses. That is absolutely what we are.

 

[theYman]

Main problem is, we have the system but don't have the personnel to support it anymore, so basically we're ****ed.

He's not the guy that's going to steal you games. He'll hold you in the game, but it eventually caves in if the team doesn't get it going. He's good, not great. #TeamMrazek

I'm going to go with NO.

Well this year 10 games is like 20 dude. Not sure you've noticed but it's a short season.

Agreed. And I don't think Babcock is going to be able to adapt.

He's out there dude. Also don't forget Raffi.
