from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
Yes, the Wings stormed back and made it a close, exciting game, and fans, generally, went home entertained.
But the underlying themes were all the areas the Wings broke down, the stockpiling of defensive issues, inefficient goaltending from Alex Nedeljkovic and Thomas Greiss (although the defense in front of them certainly didn't help), and a surprising lack of emotion in a big game atmosphere.
With three more games this week against three of the best teams in the NHL (Carolina at home Tuesday, then road games Friday and Saturday in Tampa and Florida, respectively), the Wings have to be way better.
“It’s great that we were able to finally start shooting the puck and pucks went in late, but at the end of the day it’s fool’s gold,” Blashill said. “That’s not good enough. Our guys know that, I hope our guys know that. What happened out there (Saturday) wasn’t good enough.”
more, basically a recap of the game last night...
