[PGT] Red Wings 3 @ Flames 2

Yep. It's unfortunate, but Diaz & Engelland suck too much. At least split them up from each other.

Right but this is a constant because our 3rd pairing is a liability.

Looking at overall Dman ice time in the NHL, Brodie ranks 6th in the league, Gio 7th, Wideman 20th and Russell 28th.

Thats crazy when you consider there are 30 teams in the league, yet our second pairing is getting more minutes than many teams first pairings.

That is like that AHL goalie that pushed the net off on a two on 0 breakaway. Penalty shot?
