probably our 'best' loss of the year. breaks finally went against us and unlike our other 3 losses we kept with it and played fairly well. those west coast b2b can be tough so regroup and find a way to hopefully get 3 points in the next two games.
Wow am I glad that Todd is the coach. Accountability, and actual correct reads. If issues can be correctly identified, they can be fixed. Onto the next fellas.
This team has so many holes defensively and in goal. Nice start to the season but clearly won’t remain this way. I’d rather tank for McKenna this team clearly isn’t a contender with 2 washed goalies
There's no way that Seider goal was a kicking motion haha! And there's no way they can 100% say that puck was going in for the 4th Ducks "Goal". Wes McCauley is a joke of a ref. Gibson wasn't great tonight and tbh I would've switched the goalie rotation for these games. I don't care for sentimental crap in sports. Defence is way too weak and soft and they've gotten away with a lot this season. ASP needs time in GR tbh.
And hasn't since Finnie was absurdly put on top line in Kane's absence. And can literally only score w Kane out when the other 4 guys actively exclude Finnie from the play and play a 4 man game and score on their first chance right away. Any time the power play runs on, any time Finnie has to handle it or be a part of it, they can't score.
"i think it was the 2nd unit that got scored on last night, too"
No, Todd, in LA it was the FIRST UNIT that got scored on. Emmitt Finnie got directly scored on. It's amazing how this guy remembers things the way he wants to to justify his terrible decisions.
ASP looked so slow, got beat multiple times. Hopefully he can bounce back with a days rest. They also need to put JVR on pp1. Finnie cant match the skill yet.
That was bar none the worst officiated game I have ever seen. Should honestly be investigated for sports gambling. Truly stunning that seider goal was a no goal. Absolutely the worst call i have ever seen.
Yes, the refs did blow a number of calls, but the Wings probably lost bc you just gotta call the problem they have for what it is, and I think this is what it is: Mo Seider may be a defensive tactician on the ice, but until he has skills on how to be an offensive defenseman, which he IS NOT, the Wings are burning their chances on the power play. You all may think it's too early in his career, but I think Sandin-Pelikka needs to run the power play as much as possible, and probably have either Edvinnson or Johansson out there when a power play is under way. Doesn't anybody see how goofy Seider likes trying to run the power play with the first line? Seider is right about coming up with a different plan, and that would be to place him the majority of time on PK, and maybe have him as a backup or last resort on the power play. Wings are trying to turn Seider into some power play specialist, which HE IS NOT. Sandin-Pelikka has so much more finesse and should run the majority of the power play, and Seider should be on PK the majority of the time, and those 2 can work on doing what they can to improve their weaknesses on the ice: Seider needs lots of practice improving his power play skills, and Sandin-Pelikka needs to spend additional practice time improving his defensive play. Seider looke like a good trying to run a power play and looks way too predictable and timid at the blue line. I had hoped that McClellan would have noticed that by now, but it doesn't look like he has. They can't turn Seider into Nick Lidstrom. It ain't gonna happen, at least not in the short term. Nick Lidstrom was a tall man, like Seider, but was an offensive defenseman like Sandin-Pelikka. Wings need to get with the program, or as Seider said, change "the plan," or the outcome of future games will continue to be like this one. The Wings' power play, the majority of the time, should include the following on their first line until further notice: Sandin-Pelikka, Edvinnson or Johansson, Larkin, Raymond or Finnie, DeBrincat. They should at least try it out that way and see how it goes. Mo Seider is an eye sore out there when he's trying to run the power play.
Its clear that we have to play top end hockey because the NHL doesnt like us very much. (Draft, calls, market teams that need to win) So the boys need to see the playing field is not fare. Lace them up and go get it.
So basic. Detroit over man's the puck in the O zone. Nobody on weak side. Puck comes right back out and now we have 3 forwards constantly caught late on the back check. Quinville is constant 2-1-2.

Regroup for Sunday boys, had your chances even if you were playing poorly
probably our 'best' loss of the year. breaks finally went against us and unlike our other 3 losses we kept with it and played fairly well. those west coast b2b can be tough so regroup and find a way to hopefully get 3 points in the next two games.
Refs blew numerous calls and turned the game into an utter mess. Seider clearly hinted at the frustration it caused.

Chaotic game, our structure and passing is horrible. We need Kane back so bad.
Ras and Van Reimsdyk need to be replaced.
Helena: Do you think you suck? Because lately, according to me, you have sucked.
Asp looked awful tonight. The shorty he gets outskated badly and then he runs into compher on the mctavish goal
I still think Larkin should have gotten a penalty shot. I don't normally get mad at refs but tonight was…. interesting
I'd love to know how much money those refs bet on Anaheim tonight.
"power play didn't get us what it needed to"
And hasn't since Finnie was absurdly put on top line in Kane's absence.

So… why is he on the unit?
"i think it was the 2nd unit that got scored on last night, too"

This guy doesn’t believe in passing the puck . He gets it and shoot 2:13
Mo and Raymo are getting better at talking to the press. Go get the Sharks on Sunday,
Defensely does Sieder ever hit anyone
ASP looked so slow, got beat multiple times. Hopefully he can bounce back with a days rest.
They also need to put JVR on pp1. Finnie cant match the skill yet.
Unacceptable! That goal should’ve been allowed! Stupid refs are a joke!
That was bar none the worst officiated game I have ever seen. Should honestly be investigated for sports gambling. Truly stunning that seider goal was a no goal. Absolutely the worst call i have ever seen.
The cancelled Seider goal and the allowed goal when the net was off were the league's paybacks for LA the night before.
Really sloppy game, Seider misses the net too often, maybe it's time to take him off the powerplay

Seider for captain
You’re allowed to redirect the puck to your stick and blade touched it before it went in. Complete BS.

Yea, game was a mess.
