Hedman and downie not on ice for warm ups

Hedman has a bruised foot (likely a bone-bruise), and Downie a bruised orbital bone. Both are listed as day-to-day.

I get the Fox Sports Red Wings channel. Hooray. The commentary is going to be all about who’s injured of the Wings – with a little of the game thrown in now and then, I’m sure.

They still don’t know anything. Called Ohlund a great skater, they said Hedman is apparently a heck of a player, etc. It’s as if they’ve never seen a game that didn’t involve the Wings.

After one, the Wing lead 1-0. The Lightning start the second on the power play, tho.

Tampa Bay has the edge in shots, 10-9; Stamkos has four shots in that one period. Faceoffs are atrocious, tho, with the Lightning only winning 38% overall; Lecavalier is 2-5 (29%). Jones has three hits, Halpern & Krajicek each have a turnover, three different players have one steal each, and Walker has two blocked shots.

Well, the good news is that it’s still 1-0 Detroit after two.

The Lightning are still out-shooting the Wings, now 20-17; Stamkos has has five shots & Foster has three. Faceoffs have gotten much better, with the team winning 52%; Lecavalier worked himself up to 50% while Konopka has won three and lost two for 60%. Krajicek has two turnovers, five different players have one steal each, Malone has four hits, and Walker still has two blocked shots.

I think my recap may happen tomorrow…depends on how tired I am after watching Star Trek tonight

Since the game is over barring a comeback

I’ll recommend Theo Fleury’s autobiography. Definitely a good read.

The Wings have a PP?

They did. Bolts killed it off. Totally missed who the penalty was on though.

Two minutes for not enough stubble? I don’t think you can pin that one on him. Stamkos or Killer maybe; but not Malone.

Oh good. The Wings goalie got his first career shutout, and Babcock his 400th win as a coach. Hooray. Or something.

Okay, so I have a question for the class. Do you think that the Lightning’s playoff chances would die if they replaced Tocchet in the next couple of weeks?

Not necessarily. But who said they got any playoff chance now?

Something has gotta give....

This team has fallen into the same rut as they were in last year. Can’t blame it on the coaching change (the coaching staff, maybe) but the same mistakes are being made as last season.

That's and absolute trutyh

No one is producing and the Players are bieng blamed – not the system they are playing in.

So which is the problem? The players or the system? Or is it just the wrong system for the players we have? Then what does it become? a player problem for failing to adjust or a coaching problem for failing to adjust the system?

by TB_hockey_fan on Dec 17, 2009 10:07 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It's coaching

Tocchet wants gritty players and wants to change his players to fit the system. The players aren’t adapting and the entir eteam is suffering. Even those who ARE playing well (by Rick’s regard) aren’t doing ANYTHING major to help the team win. Who is scoring goals of the Wright/Chewie/Downie/Konopka group?

You either commence a fire sale at the deadline...

….to bring in players that fit Tocchet’s “system” of grit-over-anything-else, or you change coaching and try to better utilize the strengths of the team.

Shutting this down

Lightning are shut out — again — 3-0. Mike Babcock gets his 400th win and the Lightning free fall continues.
