Red Wings fall to Chicago 5-1

Red Wings fall to Chicago 5-1

TODAY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. EVEN THE THE YOUNG GUY RATLEDGE HAD A REALLY GOOD GAME. >> I THOUGHT, ALL. >> RIGHT GUYS, WE HAVE TO MOVE ON FROM OUR MUSICAL INTERLUDE, THE RED WINGS BACK ON THE ICE AFTER DROPPING FRIDAY NIGHT’S GAME TO THE RANGERS. AFTER ALL THE POSITIVES WE SAW ON THE ROAD, DETROIT IS SUDDENLY HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO IGNITE A POWER PLAY THAT’S GONE 1 IN 15 WITH A MAN ADVANTAGE OVER THE LAST FOUR GAMES. AND THOSE DIFFICULTIES CONTINUED AGAINST THE BLACKHAWKS. START WITH DETROIT ON THE PENALTY KILL, LOOKING TO SLOW CHICAGO’S POWER PLAY WHILE DYLAN LARKIN COOLS HIS HEELS IN THE PENALTY BOX. THAT’S CONNOR BEDARD, AND HE FIRES IT PAST JOHN GIBSON FOR THE GOAL. BLACKHAWKS UP ONE. NOTHING BUT DETROIT WOULD GET THAT GOAL BACK LATER IN THE PERIOD. LUCAS RAYMOND SHOOTS PUCK, GOES THROUGH ARVID SODERBLOM LEGS, AND DYLAN LARKIN GETS ENOUGH ON IT FOR THE GOAL, HIS NINTH TYING THE GAME AT ONE MOVE TO THE SECOND. CHICAGO UP TWO ONE, AND THIS WAS A BAD DAY FOR DETROIT’S POWER PLAY. THE WINGS WITH FOUR MINUTES ON THE MAN ADVANTAGE TO END THE SECOND PERIOD. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF CHANCES TO SCORE BUT COULDN’T CAPITALIZE DETROIT ZERO FOR FIVE WITH THE MAN ADVANTAGE IN THE PENALTY KILL WASN’T ANY BETTER. THIRD PERIOD CONNOR BEDARD FINDS TYLER BERTUZZI IN FRONT OF THE NET. HE GOES FIVE-HOLE AND SCORES CHICAGO THREE FOR THREE WITH A MAN ADVANTAGE. AND THAT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO TAKE DETROIT FIVE ONE. THE FINAL JENNIFER HAMMOND HAS MORE FROM ICE LEVEL. >> SUNDAY’S LOSS WAS ALL ABOUT SPECIAL TEAMS, AS THE RED WINGS GAVE UP. >> THREE POWER PLAY GOALS TO THE BLACKHAWKS AND THEN WENT ZERO FOR FIVE WITH THE MAN ADVANTAGE, A DISTURBING TREND THAT’S SEEN THEM GO ONE FOR 20 OVER THE LAST FIVE GAMES. >> SPECIAL TEAMS. BATTLE. IT WAS SO DOWNHILL FOR US, IT WASN’T EVEN CLOSE. YOU KNOW THE POWER PLAY. WE DIDN’T GET IN AND GET ESTABLISHED. WE HAD A TOUGH TIME ENTERING THE ZONE. WE HAD TEN MINUTES ON THE POWER PLAY. THEY HAD A MINUTE 19. THEY SCORED IN THREE OF THEIR THREE SHOTS. WE GOT OVER 11. THAT’S THE GAME. >> DYLAN LARKIN SCORED THE LONE GOAL FOR THE WINGS, HIS FIRST IN THE LAST SIX GAMES. AND AFTERWARDS THE CAPTAIN FELL ON THE SWORD, SAYING, ENDING THE STREAK OF FOUR LOSSES IN THE LAST FIVE STARTS WITH HIM. >> THE LAST TWO AT HOME HERE WE’VE HAD CHANCES. I THOUGHT TONIGHT WE DIDN’T GIVE UP MUCH. WE JUST LOST THE SPECIAL TEAMS BATTLE AND WE HAVE LOOK AFTER LOOK. I HAVE BACK TO BACK DOORS AND TWO NIGHTS AND I ZERO GOALS TO SHOW FOR THAT. THAT’S THAT’S THAT’S ON ME. PEOPLE LOOK TO ME TO TO SCORE AND I THINK. I WOULD, I WOULD POINT THE FINGER AT MYSELF AND I’VE GOT TO PUT THE PUCK IN THE BACK OF THOSE KEY SITUATIONS AND OFF OF GOOD PLAYS AS WELL. >> YOU KNOW, THAT’S NOBLE. THAT DYLAN IS IS LEADING THAT WAY. BUT YOU COULD ALIGNED A BUNCH OF PLAYERS UP TONIGHT AND ASKED HIM THE SAME QUESTION. SO YEAH, HE WEARS THE HE’S GOT AN ANSWER FOR THE GROUP. BUT THERE’S A NUMBER OF THEM YOU COULD HAVE, YOU COULD HAVE TALKED TO. >> AND WITH THREE DAYS BEFORE THEIR NEXT GAME ON THURSDAY, MCLELLAN SAID THAT THEY WILL DIG DEEP AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO IMPROVE SPECIAL TEAMS BEFORE THEY HOST THE DUCKS AT LITTLE CAESARS ARENA. JENNIFER HAMMOND, FOX TWO SPORTS. >> THANKS A LOT, HAMMER. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE RED WINGS WITH PAT AND TONY. AND GUYS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RED WINGS CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME KINDS OF ISSUES CROP UP. AND AGAIN IT’S THE POWER PLAY AND THE PENALTY KILL. TONY, TALK. >> TO ME. >> WELL IT’S WEIRD. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THEIR POWER PLAY HAS BEEN GREAT AND THEIR PENALTY KILLING HAS BEEN BAD. THE POWER PLAY IS SO BAD, AS JENNIFER POINTED OUT, IT’S RIDICULOUS. AND THEY HAVE HAD OPPORTUNITIES. I MEAN, PAT, THEY SCORED SEVEN GOALS IN THEIR LAST FIVE GAMES. THAT’S PRETTY THAT’S PATHETIC. >> THAT’S NOT GOOD. >> WELL, THERE’S A NUMBER OF THINGS. THE POWER PLAY WAS A PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. IT HASN’T BEEN ALL YEAR BUT IT HAS BEEN DURING THIS STRETCH. THE PENALTY KILL ZERO FOR THREE TODAY ZERO FOR THREE. THEY HAD TO GIVE UP A POWER PLAY GOAL TO THE RANGERS. NOW THE RANGERS AND THE BLACKHAWKS ARE IN THE TOP THREE IN THE LEAGUE IN POWER PLAY PERCENTAGE. AND THE WINGS, THEY HAVE HAD THE TOP SIX SEVEN TEAM IN PENALTY KILL TODAY. IT DIDN’T SHOW THROUGH. THE OTHER THING TOO IS YOUR GOALIE CAN’T SAVE 75% OF THE SHOTS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON’T I’M NOT A GOALTENDING EXPERT, OKAY? I’VE ONLY PLAYED BEER LEAGUE HOCKEY. ALL RIGHT. SO I’M NOT COMING UP HERE. >> TRYING TO BEAT YOU. HAVEN’T DONE THE SPLITS. >> I’M NOT ONE OF THESE GUYS WHO PLAY BEER LEAGUE HOCKEY AND IS CALLING UP THE RADIO STATION AND SAYING, I COULD SCORE ON, YOU KNOW. >> YEAH. >> GIBSON OR SOMETHING. I’M NOT DOING THAT. BUT I’M TELLING YOU, IF CONNOR BEDARD IS ONE OF THE GREAT SNIPERS YOU’LL EVER SEE, IF YOU’RE ON YOUR KNEES, HE’S ON THE POWER PLAY AND IN THE CIRCLE, AND THERE’S A HOLE THIS BIG. CONNOR BEDARD IS GOING TO SHOOT THAT THROUGH THAT HOLE. AND ALSO YOU’VE GOT TO FINISH YOU KNOW THEY MADE THAT GOALIE LOOK GREAT WITH THESE TWO SAVES BECAUSE THEY BREAK AROUND HIM. THERE’S A BIG THING AND THEY SHOOT IT BACK INTO HIM. YOU’RE NOT GOING FIVE HOLE THERE. SO THERE WAS ALL THIS. THE PENALTY KILL THE POWER PLAY BLOWING SCORING CHANCES. THE GOALTENDER LIKE YOU KNOW BIG HOLE HERE. YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT PLAY THAT WAY AND EXPECT TO WIN. AND GOOD FOR JEFF BLASHILL. AND TYLER BERTUZZI. >> IS THERE A REVENGE GAME TODAY. >> THEY WERE THE KILLER BEES. >> THAT WAS YOU’RE RIGHT. YOU KNOW WHAT. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BIG HOLES AND GUYS NOT BEING ABLE TO SCORE PATRICK KANE AGAINST THE RANGERS THE OTHER NIGHT, IT WAS A HUGE HOLE COMING ACROSS THE CREASE. AND HE MISSED THAT ONE LIKE THERE. SO YOU. >> GOTTA FINISH. >> YOU DEFINITELY HAVE. >> TO FINISH ONE TODAY TOO THAT THEY SHOWED I MEAN AND LARKIN ON THAT ONE. YOU GOT YOU GOT TO DO THAT AND THE POWER PLAY I MEAN TO GET AN EARLY PENALTY LIKE LARKIN DID. AND THEN BERTUZZI SCORE OR BEDARD SCORES WITHIN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE GAME. I MEAN HE CAN’T SCORE GOALS. IT’S TOUGH. >> HERE’S THE QUESTION. WHAT IS MCLELLAN’S REMEDY FOR THIS. HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT IT. BUT ARE WE GOING TO MAYBE DOES HE HAVE SOMETHING UP HIS SLEEVE THAT WE WILL SEE TANGIBLE RESULTS FROM? BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT WE NEED. >> YOU SHOULD CALL HIS OWN PLAYS AND GET RID OF JOHN MORTON. NO. [LAUGHTER] >> IT’S A TALENT ISSUE. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THEY HAVE A LOT OF PASSENGERS ON THAT TEAM. THEY REALLY DO. THEY GOT, YOU KNOW, LARKIN DEBRINCAT, RAYMOND EDMUNDSON. YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF THEIR PLAYERS ARE GOOD. SEIDER DEFINITELY. BUT THEY GOT A LOT OF PASSENGERS ON THAT TEAM. AND IN A GAME LIKE THIS, THEY KIND OF GET LOST. YOU DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT THEM TODAY. >> HOW WOULD. >> YOU EVEN ON THE ICE TODAY. HOW WOULD THEY TOUCH THE PUCK TODAY? THEY’RE GETTING 5 MILLION PLUS A YEAR, THAT TYPE OF THING. >> HOW WOULD YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM IN THE BEER LEAGUE, PAT? >> WELL, IN THE BEER LEAGUE. >> I. >> DON’T KNOW. [LAUGHTER] >> HE’D STEAL THEIR BEER. >> I DO LIKE I ALWAYS DID. I’M TAPPING MY STICK IN FRONT OF THE NET AND SAYING, I’M OPEN. >> WHAT ABOUT MARCO CASPER? I MEAN, WE’VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, THINGS FROM, RIGHT? WE’VE SEEN THINGS AT A HIGH LEVEL FROM HIM, BUT NOW WE’RE SEEING IT MAYBE AT. >> THE BOTTOM. HE’S NOT PLAYING AS WELL AS HE’S CAPABLE OF PLAYING. >> HE WENT THROUGH A STRETCH WHERE HE WAS LOOKING LIKE HE DID LAST YEAR, AND THEN HE WENT AWAY AGAIN. >> WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR HIM, STONEY. >> FOR ME SCORED 25 GOALS. I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE A SUCCESSFUL SECOND YEAR FOR HIM. RIGHT. OR. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST BE MORE OF A THREAT. HE’S BEEN HE LOOKS LIKE HE’S LOST IN SPACE. YOU KNOW, IT’S KIND OF WEIRD WATCHING HIM BECAUSE HE USUALLY IS VERY ENGAGED. >> IT SEEMS THAT WAY FOR A LOT OF GUYS THOUGH. LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF. I MEAN, SOME NIGHTS IT’S ON FOR SOME GUYS, MOST NIGHTS IT’S OFF. >> LATELY I CAN’T STAND IT WHEN YOU SIT THERE AND LOOK AT 40 MINUTE 42ND SHIFTS AND WATCH GUYS GO OUT THERE, THEY REALLY DON’T DO ANYTHING AND SKATE BACK ONTO THE BENCH, OKAY? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AND YOU CAN SAY WHETHER IT’S POSITION, RESPONSIBILITY. >> WASTED OPPORTUNITY. >> YOU KNOW, THEY’RE JUST NOT OUT THERE ENGAGED THE WAY THEY NEED TO BE. AND WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TO PUT THE BISCUIT IN THE BASKET YOU GOT TO DO IT. >> YEAH. >> YOU GOT TO DO IT, STONEY. YOU GOT TO DO IT OKAY. >> NO DOUBT GUYS. ALL RIGHT. TIME TO SIGNAL FOR A TIMEOUT. WHEN WE COME BACK, WE’LL DIVE
