commentary...

the game last night was the worst game that i have seen,in years... i have seen the Red Wings get crushed in games in the past(example:pounded by Columbus Blue Jackets,8-0,and then within days by Nashville Predators,8-2,in 2008,i believe),but to be steamrolled by the St. Louis Blues,6-0,opening night,was almost a new low,because they had no willpower to fight,and they had the fewest shots,through two periods(7),since they played a game,against Calgary(6),in 1989,almost 24 years ago... fans should be upset,and to use a lack of training camp,or preseason games,as an excuse,is horse manure... when goaltender Jimmy Howard was the bright spot,in that game,and he got hung out to dry,for five of the six goals,and was pulled early,in the third period,you know that the Red Wings were roadkill,and they played like they simply did not care,at all... to have three breakaways/breakdowns,on defense,for easy goals;be one for five on penalty kill,and then have a shorthanded goal scored on the Red Wings,on top of that,the Red Wings looked like the worst team in the NHL,WITHOUT A DOUBT,makes the Red Wings' fans think,"why did they come back off vacation,to look like roadkill"... luckily,for the Red Wings,it is only game one,of a forty eight game sprint,but unfortunately,they NEVER got started,last night,and the simple fact that they have to realize that they can not use the lamest excuse of a short training camp,and if they start to do that,they are a team without a rudder,and deserve to be pounded on again and again,because there were teams who allowed more goals last night(Vancouver Canucks:7),but the Red Wings did not score a goal,and did not even get a sniff,and the Blues got the easiest two points that they will ever get,against the Red Wings,and unfortunately,for the Red Wings,they play them three more times,in the next twelve games,so they better stop being wallflowers,and WAKE UP,period...
