Push Back!

For what it's worth, most Wings fans are trying to figure out what's going on. Flashes of brilliance, followed by total darkness. There is plenty of blame to go around, but lately, one or two mistakes seems to lead to a total collapse.
Up until a few games ago this team was always in it until the final buzzer had sounded. Being down by a goal, or even two goals, the team would claw their way back and make a game of it. Win or lose.
Now it seems, whenever an opponent plays hard on the puck and aggressively forechecks, the Wings just wilt, shrink, disappear. With the exception of just a few players, the Wings are soft, and easy to push around.
This is unacceptable and needs to change.The only thing fans are asking for is some real push back, an honest effort, and of course, entertaining hockey.

This team will have to really poop the bed to lose this one.

Hola Katie. TBH, that’s kinda what I expected this season. This Wings team isn’t all that better yet. That will come. L.G.R.W.

Evenin’ Bitches !
Fewest goals for, most goals against are the Coyotes. No way the Wings can win this.
Thanks for the LB set up Kate, and lots of red and white in the stands tonight again.

Wow what a move by Larkin!
They had heard he had covid and didn’t want to get near him.
Good battle by Raymond to knock the puck away from 3 ‘yotes.

Kate what was that nickname we used to have for Gostisbehere?

Lucas does not appear overwhelmed in the least in the NHL environs.

Maybe we should call him ‘Cool Hand Lucas’.

One of the greatest suggestions in the history of A2Y. I’m sure IwoCPO would adapt that into the A2Y dictionary.

About Abel to Yzerman
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.

Looks like same lineup as Thursday, Ned starts.
