Postgame: Wings-Kings Blah Blah Blah

I’m just gonna start with this.

This game alone is bad enough. This game as a response to the pathetic game against Arizona, though…

After their most uninspiring effort of the season the Wings respond with their fewest shots in the season (including a first period with only a pair of them and only eight through two).  What are you supposed to take away from that?

Mickey Redmond was rightfully upset about the officiating after a blatant hold on Riley Sheahan led to the Kings’ third goal.  What was telling to me is that the Wings seemed absolutely silent about it.

Come on.  You’re playing a stretch of piss-poor hockey, can you please at least act like you care about that kind of stuff?  It’s offensive.

I’ve said before that I didn’t expect this to be a good season.  This is not a good team, though there have been parts that are better than I thought would be.  I’m okay dropping a 4-1 decision and not being able to get shots through…  But act like you care while you do it.  It’s one thing to not be good enough.  It’s another to not be engaged enough.
