What Could Have Been

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

About 10 minutes. That's how far away the Red Wings were from one of their best back-to-back victories in recent memory.

Instead, in that span, the Toronto Maple Leafs left the Wings stunned.

A five-goal barrage carried the Leafs to a 7-4 victory Saturday and left the Wings frustrated and disappointed.

“We just let them have their way,” said Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who had two goals. “We just sat back, they came at us in waves, and you can’t do that for 20 minutes in this league. They’re too good a team offensively and we have to make them defend. We did that the first two periods and were successful. In the third, we let them play on the attack too much.”

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.
