Forget About Last Night

from Dana Wakiji of DetroitRedWings.com,

The Red Wings have no choice but to move on from Friday night's unbelievable 7-6 overtime defeat to the New York Islanders at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

With Tyler Bertuzzi in the dressing room after receiving a match penalty for slashing Cal Clutterbuck, the Islanders scored four times in a span of 3:37 during the five-minute power play.

The Wings managed to tie the game - on a goal that was reviewed for goaltender interference - with 29 seconds left but lost in overtime as Brock Nelson completed his hat trick.

"There's not one thing you can about it, except for learn," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. "You can't go get yesterday back in life. All you can do is learn from it and move forward. So we have to move forward. The lesson there, we got to make sure we're disciplined and we gotta be ultra committed like playoff hockey to blocking shots. And then we've got to do lots of things we did. We played fast, we were one top of them.

"We played great hockey for certainly 40 minutes if not 55 minutes, even though they pushed a little bit in the beginning of the third. We've got to do the same thing tomorrow. That's the hockey that makes us successful. I think our guys understand that. We gotta go tomorrow and play the same way."

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
