@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian You're right, it is pointless. If you're offsides, it doesnt matter if it's a foot, or a skate blade, offsides is offsides.
English
Why does the inside end of the Blue line serve as the barrier for offsides when keeping the puck in the zone, but the outside end serves as the barrier for offsides on the break-in? It makes a negative amount of sense.
Like every. other. NHL. Rule.

@jdunn31673 @The_Mexinadian Not the same thing. I really don't have time for pointless arguments dude. If you disagree, that's fine. I'm good with that. Let's love on.
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian So, should we review goals? Or is close enough okay there as well?
English
@DDirezze @burchie_kid Yep. Ever heard of late bloomers? What if we tossed our kids out because they didn't achieve something within 3 yrs? Sometimes it takes some time for someone to realize their own potential & start living up to it.
English
@MTRWGA @burchie_kid If you’ve been saying this for 3 yrs then obviously there is NOT MORE in a lot of guys! 1 ,2,3,4 games yes! Maybe even a bad season but 3 years? 😂😂😂😂😂

Todd McLellan: “That was a disappointing response after a big win for us in Buffalo. I think there’s more in a lot of guys. I think some guys came to compete — but not think at all. The stuff we did was training camp material, and here we are at Game 73.”

Red Wings: 86 points in 73 games, minus-3 goal differential Flyers: 84 points in 72 games, minus-4 goal differential The Wings have outplayed their reality for most of the season. It’s catching up to them at a hauntingly familiar time.

@jdunn31673 @The_Mexinadian It's his position on the ice that impacts the decision making and position his opponents choose to take as a result of where he is.
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian He's not in the play? He doesnt score, or assist on the goal, so how does him being offsides affect the play? Is it just distance?
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian The thing is the RW called up Postava over Cossa, so play him. He should have got the start just to test him. Let’s see, play a tired Gibson B2B or a fresh kid with energy. Seems like a wasted chance.
English
I would also like to take this time to say that there was no reason to play Gibby tonight.
If Talbot's healthy enough to back up, then he's healthy enough to start. If he's not, then he shouldn't be on the bench.
English
@jdunn31673 @The_Mexinadian No that's very different, bc that does affect the play. There's no way something that drastic doesn't. You have no valid point there.
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian So why have it at all? Hey, if a dude is 15 feet offsides....but he's just chilling in the corner, and doesnt effect the play, why does it matter, right? That's a ridiculous premise.
English
@jdunn31673 @The_Mexinadian But why does it matter? Did the offsides by an inch cause the defending team to not have the ability to defend fairly? Nope. It's a stupid technicality & nothing more.
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian This is only a thing because the Wings have been victimized by it so many times. Flat out, if its offsides, I wanna know. I dont want an OT, or a playoff game decided on a missed offsides call.
English
@jdunn31673 @The_Mexinadian If it's so close that the linesmen don't even see it happen, clearly that's not the case. Them crossing the line a fraction of a second before the puck matters why??
English
@MTRWGA @The_Mexinadian They had to go to review twice yesterday. I'm not sure if you are aware, hockey moves pretty fast. Both plays were offside by a mile, the challenges worked.
English
@The_Mexinadian But I'm not happy about it. I am angry. It's like , if the team truly sucked, it's be easier to just accept losses like this 1. But they're better than this, so that's why it's maddening.

If the Wings are dying, I'm dying with them.

This is the life I chose.

I'm leaning towards overworked.
Devin L.@HockeyWithDevin
Are we entirely sure that John Gibson isn't being overworked?
English
@The_Mexinadian Honestly, the biggest reason I dread the idea of missing the playoffs is listening to all the fire Yzerman bs again.
English
Incredible how many people are saying "Fuck this team," but still decided to watch every night.
Either your anger is fake, or you're a fairweather fan.
English
@JohnMclopsid @DetroitRedWings @familyheatingmi They like giving us hope and then pissing all over it
English
@MTRWGA @DetroitRedWings @familyheatingmi That’s true. I meant more so for us fans. I don’t want to be strung along anymore. I’d rather just have them forfeit the rest of the season. But their performance today and effort at least display they don’t want to get in the dance so I respect their honestly of dgaf.
English
@FieldP0dan5k @RyanHanaWWP Oh they won't come out in the 3rd and do any of that. They may show up and get a little spark, but it's going to be a repeat of Ottawa from the other night at best. Still a loss.
English
@RyanHanaWWP I’ve been pretty reasonable all season with some of the losses. My wife might disagree, but damn. This game is infuriating. If they don’t come out in the 3rd put them through the wall, then it’s over for the season. Someone needs to shut Tippett down. Rob his house, steal his car
English
Red Wings down 3-0 through 2 periods with next to nothing to show for in terms of signs of life.
Can be annoyed at the offside review but it was offside clear as day (linesman should've had that one). Detroit looks completely outmatched by a hungrier team once again. #LGRW
English
@schuelma @RyanHanaWWP Right? I was actually bummed when I was reminded we were home tonight.
English
@RyanHanaWWP When they miss the playoffs, getting 2 wins in the last 10 home games will be the reason why. Just pathetic
