After watching their 4-1 third period lead evaporate and turn into a 4-5 shootout loss to the Coyotes, the Red Wings returned home Tuesday and had their first practice since their long stretch of road games. The team focused on special teams for a majority of the practice.<\/p>\n

After having time to digest the loss, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock wasn\u2019t happy with how the team performed during crunch time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeartbreaking is when you do everything right and a better team still beats you,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen we lost to Phoenix, it wasn\u2019t heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also added that although his team is playing well, it\u2019s not at the peak of its performance. He explained how his team still needs work to match the efforts of the championship teams of the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody that\u2019s been around this team awhile knows what winning is like,\u201d he said. \u201cKnows what it tastes like, knows what it feels like, knows what it smells like. We want to get that feel, that smell, that taste back and we have an opportunity to do it. Let\u2019s do something with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babcock compared the loss to a \u201cminor speed bump\u201d in the Red Wings hopeful road to the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen things go wrong, it\u2019s a momentary doubt,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about how you respond to that doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Detroit, the \u201cspeed bump\u201d will remain for at least a few more days, as the Red Wings fell to the Kings of Los Angeles for the third time this season by a score of 2-1. They host the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
