from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
"Just trying to process it all," said captain Dylan Larkin after the hard-fought loss. "A lot of emotions. Frustrated. We just didn't put the puck in the net. Very frustrated.
"We had chances. A lot of chances, a lot of shots. We had chances they gave us, too. We just didn't execute and that's twice Lindgren has had our number and we just didn't score."...
Both goals against were the result of Wings' turnovers that contributed to the deficit, and ultimately, the loss.
"It was turnovers that led to getting them those chances and scoring," coach Derek Lalonde said. "It just didn't go our way. I liked our game. This one stings because we played a pretty good game and we just got away from our puck play at the end of the second period. We couldn't have been any better for the first 35 minutes.
"We had some turnovers and that's their MO, they get saves by an outstanding goaltender and they take advantage of opportunities if you give it to them."Unfortunately in the second we gave them some opportunities."

So frustrating. I thought they played a real good game minus a couple of turnovers. It appeared obvious to me that the goal was to get a lot of pucks on net. Unfortunately, they forgot to get much traffic in front. Their goalie swallowed up everything headed his way.
I still don't get how the refs could miss that penalty against Copp. It's not like it was away from the puck. I know I say it right away from home and obviously thousands of fans in attendance noticed it too.
They aren't done just yet but they'll need to beat Pittsburgh, win out or get some help.
