I just thought this was interesting.

  1. I said it yesterday, I’ll say it again: goaltending was the difference.

    Wings outplayed Tampa for that entire 2nd period and most of the 3rd.

    If Talbot/Lyon each stop one of the easy ones they let in, it’s a different game. Vasilevsky won that game for TB.

  2. Yeah and we’ve deserved a bunch of losses from some
    Of our wins too. Usually evens out in the end

  3. Yeah well make a goddamned save at the start of the game then.

    Can’t have that shit anymore. It cannot happen.

  4. I was pissed when I saw that TB had 2 more goals than Detroit with half of the shots. It was something like 5 goals on 16 shots. WTF

  5. Yeap, as long as the Bolts have Vasy in net, this is gonna happen from time to time. The Lightning aren’t the Red Wings killers they once were, and we outplay them more often than not, but sometimes Vasy is gonna stand on his head and keep them in the game.

    If the Wings start that game on time, they more than likely win, but they just got back from a tough road trip where they grinded four big wins in a row, so it’s hard to blame them for letting off the gas a bit.

  6. We’ve goalied teams and been goalied, yesterday was just a stinker that I kinda figured would be a schedule loss anyway. Time to start another 7 game win streak

  7. It was the exact same thing last time we met Tampa and lost 5-1. Vs them we have no goaltending while being goalies by vasy lmao

  8. Man, Lyon wasn’t ready for the start and that really fucked them. Also the momentum they had throughout the game was totally zapped by that missed high stick leading to a goal

  9. Vasi is a force of nature. When he’s on, he can steal games.

    Hoping Cossa can be that for the Wings.

  10. One things this model fails to measure is when teams are up on the score and laying back. I’m not saying that we didn’t play well, but we didn’t play this well.

  11. Even the best teams get goalied and Vasi while he may not be the Vasi of old, can still play at an elite level, especially when it us

  12. Bit of a stinky from our keeps but they’ve been great so not worried. Vasi is inhuman. Such an impressive goalie to watch in person

  13. Deserve to win is misleading since Tampa wasn’t really focusing on scoring for like half the game which obviously allows us to get way more shots and opportunities

    The real stat is expected goals for. I think Tampa had like 2.4 or something and ended up with 6

  14. As long as the locker room vibe is high, its a win in my books .

    Keep the momentum rolling and come back after the break roaring to go.

    Ottawa got slammed too. Thankfully

  15. And they lost. Really flat third period. Hated watching it. Got out schemed by Blashill tbh, he looked down Tampa’s zone on us
