Red Wings: No Line is Safe Right Now

Finally… the Wings showed some life tonight. This really was a must-win game. It’s amazing what happens when you actually get bodies in front of the other team’s goalie and take away his vision. Wings need to do that on a nightly basis… which they don’t. Good to see Bernard-Docker back out there. He is a big impromvement over Hamonic, who should just stay on the bench. You know you’re having a good night when Rasmussen actually scores (which is rare). The PK still looks timid and weak to me. They’re still collapsing back and letting the other team do what they want with the puck… they need to be much more aggressive !! It has gotten better overall though… unlike last year which was a complete dumpster fire for the PK. Would really like to see Danielson get that first goal or at least get some assists in his next game.

Yes, indeed, consistency is the main thing with this team ; talent is there but with so many games, you can understand why players can be tired (bodies and/or heads) but that’s how you go to playoffs, furthermore if your division is so so so so (did I say “so” ?) difficult !
At least, once you are in, that means you really deserve it and can do something interesting, and discover unusual heroes.
But as it is often said, one game after the other, we are so far away from that today !
