Not that I wanted it this way, but I told ya so!

 

No way Wings win 3 in a row against TBL. 

 

It's been real. 

 

What can we get for Nyke?

Going back to Tampa it is going to be tough for the Red Wings, but you know they are going to come out and give 110%. Should be a great game on Thursday.

Our special teams are playing like they belong on the short bus. Tampa is not so much winning as we are losing.

I am telling ya, we should have dealt him tot he Rags for Yandle.

 

   I still do not think much of Tampa without Stamkos. I just think less of the Wings right now.

I dunno @yave1964. I think you may be giving TBL short shrift. Their PP were making passes that we haven't seen at all this season. All 3 goals.

 

Kucherov buried them, but I think the passes are what allowed him to. Yes it was against our PK unit starring Blashill's favorite boy, Andersson, but it was still impressive in its own right.

Ours is the weakest division in Hockey, Tampa may be the best of a sad crew. With Stamkos, they are as good as anyone. Without him, well they are good enough to beat us but that is not saying much.as bad as we were all year they were only 4 points better.
