Not really much to say about this game. If the Red Wings are going to go on break early, so am I. Jiri Hudler's your Player of the Game because he actually did something.
The only thing I'm going to say is this: This game had absolutely nothing to do with Nicklas Lidstrom not playing. He played against the Islanders, didn't he? He played against the Blue Jackets, right? Tonight's first period was not about what life will be like once Lidstrom does retire. It was about a tired team that has played a very tough schedule and was looking forward to getting to their break even though every other team was already relaxing.
Whatever. We all saw that shit. So instead of me breaking it down, just go crazy in the comments. Should we be worried that once Lidstrom retires they'll give up at least 6 goals a game, or was this a one-off after a tough win on Monday?

Bah
What a shit show of a game. For anyone that thinks this is what life after Lidstrom (Lindstom) looks like, you are truly an idiot.
In the end, a team can’t look amazing every night. In 2008, the Red Wings lost a couple ugly games. 6-3 to Anaheim and 5-2 to Chicago.
Not saying that the Red Wings will win the Cup this year, but this is just a bump in a very long 82 game road.

You wanna tell me that to mah face?!
Definitely the first option
Welcome to the horrible, horrible post-apocalyptic 6-goals-a-game life that it will be to a Red Wings fan when TPH retires.
Rec'd for "Whatever."
Cheers to everyone who watched till the bitter end!
We’ll be just fine.

Watched.
Didn’t post.
I turn into an insufferable bitch when I have the power to anonymously vent my emotions.
So, I refrain from posting until the game is over. Hilarity nonetheless.

I watched
Well, until Kindl scored that beauty.
But, refer to my comment above. This game is just a scrape.

Clearly, this is what life will be like after Lidstrom is gone
Turnovers, mistakes, bad bounces, penalties and no teamwork. Lidstrom is obviously is what makes this team go. Right now, Ken Holland should be calling Nashville to see how many #1 picks with Datsyuk and/or Zetterberg it would take to pluck Weber from the hockey black hole of Nashville.
If that doesn’t happen, it’s a matter of one or two years after he’s gone before we don’t make the playoffs. I’m gonna start following the Blues, I hear their blog is amazing.

Really?
This is the idiot I was referring to in my post above.

God, I know.
I saw the commercial for it during the game and thought, “there’s my spoonful of sugar to help this go down.”

It's called a laugher for a reason.
If the team that took the ice didn’t care enough to earn their paychecks, why should we? Well, except for JJ who has to analyze every penalty and scoring play. What a sucker that guy is. Either way, I turned it off when it was 2-0 and Kindl took his penalty. The phrase “they weren’t moving their feet” is as close to accurate as possible. There was 0 effort from every skater.
A trash opponent in a non-conference game on the road on the edge of the all-star break, the goal of the game was to not get injured. If you can bungle your way to victory then good for you.
Pierre McGuire is a blithering dimwit.
I (fortunately) couldn't watch the game as I was in class
But is it AS bad as the score suggests? I nearly dropped my phone when I checked the score and saw 0-4 through the first period.
it was worse.

Was it typical "Let's not play during the first period?"
Or did they just look tired?
Tired and strangely out of sorts.
The Habs’ forecheck made us skate like fools.
Kronwall, Kindl, and Ericsson were the most flagrant offenders (I honestly think Kindl played the worst of the three).
Compared to the Habs, we looked like we had no idea what we were doing. Disorganized clearing and passing made for really idiotic turnovers.
And their energy just overtook our apparently tired team.

Was there any bright spots in the game?
Or did the entire team play like Shitbox?
none.
there were no survivors.

These things happen...
…and I will always love the Wings. But…what the holy hell. I imagine after the game Babs just went into the locker room, looked at everyone, spit on the floor and left.
And I watched it with my Habs fan friend…she couldn’t even shit talk it. She was embarassed for us. Oy.
POTG: Lidstrom’s flu virus.
Relentlessly preaching the word of TPH and converting the heathens in the NHL wasteland that is Oregon.
Your image of Babcock
I hope that’s exactly what he did. A lot of games, they win in spite of themselves. They need to start winning games because they played well for sixty minutes and occasionally (rarely) losing games in spite of themselves. It seems to me that they almost never lose games with a hard fought effort. Just doesn’t happen.
Living in Chicago is great... apart from the Blackhawks fans.
In the post game interview, Babcock said “I’m going out for a drink”. That about sums it up.

I personally
went out for several and just kind of laughed this one off! No point getting pissed about a game like this. My Blood Pressure medicine is NOT strong enough for that! lmao
At the end of the day...
Its only two points that we didn’t get.
But damn it would have been nice to have the score reversed.

wow glad I missed this mess of a game
oh well had to lose some time…get rested up guys and lets get ready for that push for the 1 seed and the cup!
LETS GO RED WINGS!
2011 what a disappointment
Troy Tulowitzki: "When people think of the Rockies, I want them to think of a winning organization."
Obviously TPH's "sickness" was a crack in the shielding around his fuel rods/reactor...
The quick blast of gamma rays was enough to weaken the team for tonights game.
Hazmat will have them up and running in a jiffy, though we may now be atnwar with Canada for the nuclear incident.
Goalies are enforcers too.

No, no, it's far worse...
A common flu bug infected TPH. This must mean that it had to have evolved into a super-flu the likes of which the CDC doesn’t even have a level for. Be afraid. Seriously, the entire team had to have been infected already; how else can…that…be explained?

Well, at least now you have a taste of what it's felt like to be a Hawks fan for the last week or so.
:P
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.
Nothing is true. All is permitted.
SBNation will only let me choose one favorite team.
it's never a good taste.
:(

I have only missed and recorded/taped 2 games this entire year...
The second one was tonite.. anyone want to guess what the first was?? That’s right, the crapshoot that was our 7-1 loss to Washington… I need to just forget the DVR from now on.
ugh…

Missing Lidstrom WAS the problem
But this won’t be what it’s like without him. The problem was the patched together defensive combinations. Kindl was the one most obviously not up to speed, but none of the D-men looked comfortable.
I'm sick of everyone saying "it isn't Nick's fault we lost"
It totally was. The Captain decided to skip a meaningless game right before the AS break and the rest of the team followed suit. In order for the team to win, he has to play like he wants to cause when he does the rest of the team follows. The reverse is the same. The scariest thing is that when he retires, the rest of the team will too. Then we’re really in trouble
You sound like a manure salesman with a mouthful of samples.
Serious trouble
How will we have enough room in the rafters to retire everyone’s number?
Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
It's my personal belief that Hudler should not have to take crap for his past crap anymore.
He’s proven on the ice that he’s willing to make plays for the team, when no one else is willing to, and he’s done it night after night.
Wow, 7 goals allowed, and Commodore manages
to keep his +- at 0 for the night, meaning he’s only had one – game all year (against Columbus)
I like to Dangle Dangle.

Just sayin
Yes, I am worried about the Wings after Lidstrom. No, last night had nothing to do with him not playing. I’m sure he would have helped but the Wings just played awful. I’m pretty sure there were only two players that had a positive +/- last night and it was a +1. The rest of the team was either even or negative. A few of them were -3s. I don’t understand how this team can play so good against the best teams and then lose to some of the worst teams. Its very frustrating. That was hard to watch.
It seems
that all Detroit teams do this! Very aggrivating! Detroit teams seem to play down to the compitition. For this game Im going with Detroit wanted to give Montreal a shot for a play off run so they took the night off and dressed some lucky fans up in their gear!!
I am convinced
That the team took this opportunity to show TPH just how much they need him in a behind-the-scenes effort to convince him to sign a 5 year extension before the season ends.
Going through the prediction contest
(Update scoring this weekend).
Henrik Zetterberg has been the WIngs’ POTG as many times this season as Justin Abdelkader.

My Rant is not against Lidstrum
Liddy has children in school kids bring home the flu we know that.My rant is not against The Wings.Every team takes a day off from the toughest grind in sports.My rant is against the Spineless gutless # 2 pencil pushers who wont stand up and admit their Bigoted sports casters and Writers in Montreal are a black mark against Hockey and Hockey Fans.That being said Dont try to blow smoke up the asses of some of the best fans in Hockey. Here in Detroit if we( god forbid) Need a coach we dont care if he,s Green and bumps his ass when he hops or if he speaks in tongues. If he leads to the cup he will wear the Wheel and be loved.. Show some spine..you ass hats
Is it possible..
That every player playing against the Wings know they are being looked at as a possible trade and bring there best game? All In the hope of joining the best org. in hockeydom. me thinks so..
