need 3 points these next 2 games…i’ll be happy with that

Bertuzzi was very honest in the post game interview, was really upset with himself. Said that his penalty was “just stupid” on his part and it shouldn’t have happened. Gotta give him credit for honesty, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that he took it and basically cost them the game.

To lose when you carry the play of almost the entire game is just painful. Especially when we needed these points, and came away with zero.

Boudreau after the game:

“We’re resilient,” Boudreau said. “We also need to know that we need to play much better if we want to win the whole thing. I thought that was the best team we played all year and I’m shocked that they’re in ninth place right now.”

On the first Capitals goal, the Capitals kept trying their up-ice passes and they kept getting away with it. The Red Wings have tried that a lot this season; it almost never works for them.

Osgood should have prevented the second Capitals goal.

I did not see the third Capitals goal.

Some people will blame Osgood for the loss and say he sucks, but the Red Wings played a very different game in front of Osgood than they have at all this season in front of Howard (and I know that was not because Leino was in the lineup). Bruce Boudreau said of Theodore, “Without him, it could have very well been 6-0 after the first period.” If the Red Wings played how they have been playing in front of Howard, allowing at least 30 shots and getting outshot each game, the score could have very well been 6-0 in favor of Washington after the first period.

Patrick Eaves was the only -2 player.

Does Leino expect to get lots of ice time with only one shot on goal? Abdelkader played less than half as much and he had the same number of shots.

Leino on the PP is mind-boggling.

I was at the game last night…lots of wings fans…but many of them are Caps season ticket holders and cheer for the Caps all year…how does that work? Those are some confused Michigan to D.C transplants.

As watching it, I noticed mostly they were under control and putting a lot of pressure unto Theodore. With a revved up amount of shots onto the opponents goalie things were going fine. They forced ‘luckily’ a small amount of shots towards Ozzie. I wasn’t absolutely thrilled by him in goal, but he was under control (that impressed me). A fair amount of goals a game that is expected for a team like the Detroit Red Wings is three. Yeah three. I wanna see it next game. LETS GO WINGS.

Asked if the loss is tougher to take because the team is desperate for points, Osgood said, "I got him (Babcock) a lot of points. I got him to the (Stanley Cup) finals twice.’’ -Mlive.com

Seriously, WTF? Yes, Osgood, it was all you and didn’t have anything to do with the rest of the team. You have absolutely CARRIED us, without you we would have been shit outta luck. Seriously wish Osgood would be waived again like when the Islanders picked him up.

Alot of ozzie trashin going on… remember in 08 when he was the hero. Of course he is going to be upset.. hes a competitor, which is probably why he is a professional athlete. The wings are fine.. alot of hockey left. Last year at this time no one would have even thought the pens would come close to the playoffs, And they WON it in case you forgot. Just remember that ken holland is in the driver’s seat… so chill out ppl.
