SpikeDDS Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Yeah usually fans complain that the opposing team plus the zebras beat their team. This time, it was the Blackhawks and the SARS-CoV-2 virus that beat us! The virus rendered our play over the weekend to near-2020 levels. It’s amazing how eerily similar the shortcomings were to last season: defense, only the Larkin line scores, get down early and try to play catch-up hockey, become unwatchable by the third period, if not the second. We just don’t look the same, and it’s gonna be close to 3 weeks before these guys are back from COVID protocol. COVID SUCKS BALLS!!

Losing 2 of your top six forwards among the five players who are out for a team that needs all hands on deck is too much. Rumor is the Wings may be the next club to shut it down for two weeks as we faced Carolina, they ended up with six players out with Covid and had to shut down and now, literally one day after we finished two games in Chicago their star winger Debrincat and young defenseman Boqvist both went into Covid protocal this morning with rumor of more Hawks to come. We apparently are travelling from town to town leaving two points and the pandemic in our wake for the other team. Oh well. At least the power play got going yesterday.

The two redeeming parts of that game were the PP and the continued resurgence of Tyler Bertuzzi. He started slow his first couple of games but has upped his game. He's creating trouble in front of the net again. Larkin is creating enough to set up opportunities and Bert's in the right spots to deflect and disrupt. Truthfully, from a competition standpoint, it would be better for the Wings to shut it down even at this point. You can see a huge difference in their ability to compete. This weekend looked NOTHING like the previous four games. They should shut it down for their own long-term good, even though I know they want to play. I want to watch them too. But if the games are gonna be like this weekend's were, and all they are going to do is pass on COVID to other teams, why are we playing? COVID sucks!
