Sigh...I don't know what to say anymore...Branco STINKS...Behling was playing well into the defence started to poop and gave up bad scoring chances leading to goals...Our PK was terrible, and we took A LOT of stupid penalties..
The team has lost confidence..The coaches are terrible and should be let go (should've been let go after we lost 5 of 7--Now lost 8 of 11 since the SCHLAKING by Markham at the College Showcase during Christmas)..
Only bright marks of tonight was #91 on Hamilton...Vella and Crawford didn't play?..
GOD HELP US IN HAMILTON!..Doubt even he can help us now..

I remember when the Wings acquired Branco and thought he would be the "saviour" goaltender they needed. I couldn't believe it, the Tigers played against him twice, ran him out in one game after scoring 7 goals on him in less than 2 periods. I made the comment that he was not that good and was criticised by a couple of Red Wing supporters, so what do you think now.
As we have always said many times, without top goaltending, you "ain't" going anywhere. If the Wings meet Newmarket in the 1st round Jason Guy & Company will send them to the showers early.
I think Hamilton, besides needing a new coach and management, might look into hiring a competent scout for next season.

Another tough night for the Wings..a shaky first period followed by a decent second and then a final frame meltdown.
There were only 38 seconds on the clock as Paul Rodrigues scored for the visitors on a two-on-one break. It was the first of two for number seventeen and he now has 33 on the season. It took the Wings but a short time to answer back as Nathan Pageau sped down the wing and Anthony Ruberto keyed on a Fred Edwards rebound in front to tie the score. Number 26 for Ruberto. Two minutes later Paul Chiasson scored his first of two for the J.C's. He is now up to thirty. Before the middle of the period captain Jard Docking scored his first of..you guessed it..two markers as he pushed in a soft backhand shot on the powerplay. 28 for him. Carlos Amestoy then sped through the Wings' defence and scored on a nifty backhand for Toronto's fourth. This goal spelled the end for Dillon Branco although only the third seemed stoppable. Enter Rob Behling. Toronto quickly acquired a two-man advantage but the Wings managed to hold safe. The home team would then get their offence going on their own powerplay as Joey Diamond scored with a close-in slapper. Number 38 for him. 4-2 Toronto after one.
Hamilton played much better in the second frame and Josh Dadic was the triggerman nine minutes in to reduce the deficit to one and they would tie the game with just over four minutes remaining in the period as Pageau cannoned one off the post and Zach Hyman, following up, won a tough battle in front before beating Edwards. The turning point came with the final seconds clikcking down on the clock and Skylar Quinn whipped over a cross-ice pass which Docking converted right on the doorstep with a one-timer. 5-4 J.C's with two in the books.
The third period scoreboard was dominated by Toronto who scored three without reply while the Wings failed to finish off chances and took selfish penalties. Docking rang one off the goalpost early before Rodrigues got the visitors sixth with a neat redirect of an Aaron Atwell shot on the powerplay. Hamilton then had a two-man advantage for almost a full two minutes but Diamond could not seem to get the puck unglued from his stick. His game contribution would end shortly thereafter as he was assessed two ten minute misconducts. Jeremy Goodwin then found himself tangled up with a linesman setting Cody Smith in free to put the J.C' s three ahead. It was a shorthanded goal. Less than a minute later Mike Ball was banished for checking from behind, team not first again, and then Docking found himself ejected for a head-check. Things degenerated as Ruberto took a misconduct and Chiasson fionished off the scoring in the last minute to send the Wings' fans home shaking thier heads again.
Hamilton dressed seven defencmen..the usual six plus Chris Williams who was used on penalty killing and powerplay situations and did not look out of place. Captain Josh Vella and Bruce Crawford did not suit up for the home team, although Vella's name was on the gamesheet. A bright spot for the Wings was Pageau picking up three assists to bring his point total to 95.
Whether it is the coaching staff or the players the Wings have precious little time, three games in fact, to instill some sense of 'team' here. They look now as if they will finish fourth and would play Newmarket in the first round as it now stands.

Well it's getting hard to watch as the Wings are on the road to nowhere.Few players come to play every night and those who do seem to get the why should I try blues by the third period. Luke Watson was benched in the second and third period as Galati likes to have someone in his doghouse every game with Watson being his favourite lately. No wonder this team has a who cares attitude. The glaring lack of defense and Branco who has been very shaky since his return from injury and a group of forwards that want to make 100 passes hoping their pretty goal makes the highlight reel ( sorry we have minimal coverage at best)leaves even the most devoted fans relalizing this will be a short playoff run if things don't turn around quickly.

LONNIE FREEMAN is a joke, word filtering down through the league has Lonnie orchastrating many disasterous trades, going behind Turnbulls back, causing a riff in the organization, Same old Lonnie (P.M wannabee ) makes all the promises in the world to players and can't deliver, Stu has paid out lots of $ and traded away quality players and got crap back, all at the urging of Lonnie.
Too many Chiefs not enough Indians people......
Stu, rid yourself of the big problem, get some quality people in place.

A great attempt at lighting a second fire to draw attention away from the first, everyone around knows who calls the shots in the Hammer, it is so obvious as to where this is coming from, no biggy a little success and now experts on the game. Good luck today at home against the Lift Lock Stars.

First of all do you not understand I am not Horse or NancyB. You are so......... wrong. Anyway, daffed88, you seem to know Ricky why don't you give him a call and ask him if he would like to help out Hamilton. No doubt they could use it. I have other people to support at this time, sure I care how Bruce is doing, but at this time, is not a priority, that's for sure!!

Proline/Harold/Nancy. Will you please shut up? Can you please for once just stop talking about me? Just for a while, please stop obsessing this is ridiculous. I don't ever talk to Rick Bince, I haven't talked to him since the talk I had in Tim Hortons with him about me being released to play in the QMJHL back in october of 06/07 the saturday after a friday game in burlington. My math would say that is about 28 months ago, I do not talk to Rick Bince though I respect him as a man, and I certainly do not associate myself with people like Nancy Bince.
Not a mystery you are her, crazy, delusional, obsessive...all qualities of Nancy.
Stop.

There was something else that could have lead to the fall from grace by the Red Wings.

Proline/HorseshoeHarold I see your not posting to much other to let us know you have other committments and more pressing issue's humm but I see you answered Tony's thread and said you were in Campbelford for Jr B games, must have lots of time on hand? Wow anyone prior mention Bruce you were there .. barking biting and bitching as you said Rick speaks to Bruce alot..well 28 months have past since last conversation. And the real thing has arrived and your speechless Wait proline you had some great conversations with yourself,youself and Horseharold I think Austin fell for it(he's gone quite too but he has good hockey connections,Charger connections and he kept thinking it was some dad in Woodbridge.. hey buddy you might owe that family an apology)Austin look at my comments always stated SHE when I spoke to Proline...Thank you Bruce for shutting up poor horselineharoldshoepronancybince...and new names soon to follow be careful.

Not to worry Proline, helpshere, let them believe what they want. Does this daffed88 really think Nancy Field not (Bince) is Proline. Well Austin65 is not very far off. By the way, my understanding is that Proline is vacationing and is far from thinking about what daffed88 has to say.

What the **** does this have to do with you? I am not discussing you. I am speaking for someone who has been slandered on this forum, made out to be someone they are not. I think whoever knows proline should have him contact Tony Thayward regarding being slandered, I don't believe it is part of the forum guidlines. Or maybe I will take this upon myself and speak to Mr. Thayward myself. So you give it up.
