No kidding. You can't just brush off that loss. It pretty much eliminated any chance the Wings had of making the preseason playoffs this year.

Preseason, whatever. But I will say that defensive play did look similar and the PP had last years give up a bad shorty look. So hopefully we will see in the later games this new "team defense".

I want to say that the organization having 6 games in 6 days has something to do with the lackluster effort. All the more reason helping the Pens out with split squad yesterday makes no sense. Pens should of been forced to split squad on Sunday.
But I also hate handing out cheap excuses like that one.

I watched two games last night that were just as relevant to what the Wings will do this season .One was the Lions-Seahawks game, the other was a replay of a 1971 game between the Canadiens and Bruins, Frank Mahovlich's first home game for Montreal after being acquired for Mickey, Charron, Collins, probably the best trade of the entire Dead Wings' era. Frank was great (two assists) but Pete Mahovlich was the best player on the ice along with Serge Savard and of course Bobby Orr. Sanderson had a good game, Lemaire and Cournoyer were flying around. Only two players wearing helmets, lots of big sideburns. Goalies looked like stick men from a child's drawing, amazing they stopped anything. From those two games I deduced Detroit will be in the hunt again this season for a WC berth.

What do you mean? I don't really care about the result. I'm trying to get an eye on the systems they have been preaching.
wasn't able to watch, but based on what I've read here.. Daniel-son isn't really doing much either way?

So long as fans are consistent with their praise/criticism it's fine..., ie do not talk up a guys strong performance one game but then excuse a weak performance the very next day...
It's preseason but it's still hockey...be better

It’s kind of unfortunate when a person labels someone else a “troll” whenever they say something they disagree with.

Ok.... maybe you can explain why you think Compher/Veleno/Motte/Edvinsson/Lyon aren't making the team?

Ed I think was the only major difference maker who wasn’t on the ice yesterday. Compher and Veleno would not have made a difference.

I'm usually a pretty critical guy I feel, but I just don't care. I didn't care before it started, and not now after/while it's happening(preseason).
No one's injured right? Just stay healthy and get the season started.
I think the only possible thing Preseason was going to do was possibly have prospects like Johansson/Kasper make the team if they just showed out and see if Watson/Chaisson fit in with the crowd enough to sign and waive to the AHL team.
Other than that, stay healthy, get the skating/conditioning down. Stay healthy.

Honestly I could care less about any preseason result.
It's about getting their game legs back, not getting injured, getting a look at the young guys, and trying some things out.
It's not that surprising to me that they'd get outworked by a bunch of AHL guys trying to make an impression versus half a roster that has nothing to play for other than getting in a skate at game speed.

See, you admit that this was not as good as our planned NHL roster. Then you give an opinion that even though it was not our NHL roster, it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.
Do you see how that it is different than:
and how saying inflammatory things you know aren't true could be considered trolling?
And if we want to talk opinions instead of stating false facts: Danielson, Mazur, Kasper, and Cossa... guys almost surely not on the NHL roster combined for -6 and a .800 save percentage. I think that made a difference

So you’re basically saying none of our so-called future star 1st rounders deserve to be on the roster? Interesting take. Not sure if that’s better.

Hey can you remind me which games MacKinnon and Makar have played so far this preseason? Just curious.

It's one of the least active because the team has sucked that long. The new bandwagon fans are gonna find different venues anyways, this is an old school social media format. The so called trolls are the only ones even keeping this forum alive, at least for the time being.
Sarcasm aside, Fester is really slow at making adjustments.

I'm saying judging systems based on a single preseason game is extremely difficult even if you're a wizard-level hockey mind. Even great defensive teams can look extremely sloppy and leaky in preseason.
