Massive hyperbole for the win I suppose. Not sure what the Wings have done in the last half of the season to earn such magnificent defense and praise but I guess that's just me. Nightfall: I did before you and Crymson went on with your regular "attack of the posters" crusade. You guys are just too busy jumping up in defense of any player or part of this team that is criticized with sarcasm and exagerrated statements that you didn't notice it. Detroit cup winning teams of the past might have sleptwalk towards the end of the season. But this team hasn't shown (except in the first 20 or so games against weaker competition and an easier schedule) that they have the same talent, drive, and overall consistency to perform like they did in the post season. That is why people are so pessimistic.

The happy pumpkin pie crew are out in full force tonight, give it a rest boys. Wings didnt play that bad all things considered though, Cam Ward wants to make the playoffs, that's the story of tonights game.

So as always, anyone calling you out for how often you give up when the Wings aren't dominant and for how often you levy nonsensical criticism, and anyone who disagrees with you on said criticisms, is a complete moron and an utter homer, and you are the ultimate fan. Got it. Howard never spends any time in the offensive zone. I dunno why.

lol. At least one person had to say it. It's trendy, after all, and it's so easy to say without actually thinking.

Well, s***. That's it. The Wings will never make 3rd seed now. The division is lost. The team is awful. Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game.

Sometimes it seems like any Wings loss is blamed on not caring or no effort or whatever. I've been very pleased with their effort tonight. They've skated well, thrown some hits, generated lots of scoring chances. No puck luck would be my main complaint, but I don't know which guy on the team I can blame for that. A team can play well and still lose. It happens all the time, and it's happening tonight, by my reckoning.

Pretty sure I "gave up" once this season, but I guess you can make stuff up all you want. Nice try though. Actually I find it funny you consider me the new Mindfly considering I've been one of the more positive posters about the team. Carry on, though. Don't want to ruin your twisted perception of my opinion of the team.

How about 2007-08 then when they dropped 10 of 11 straight games. Point is that crap happens in the regular season. The playoffs are a different animal. You should know that by now. The Wings may not go all the way this year, but I forsee a conference finals appearance this year.

Must have taken all our goals with him.

The other team has more motivation, and the Wings will not play like a team possessed just to make brett happy. If it were that simple, no goalie would ever pitch a shutout. Ever. I guess it's just easier for you to make massive generalizations that point to the team sucking. You're talking as if they just don't care. Bear in mind that sometimes one team just wins and the other loses.

Damn nice goal by Skinner. He deserves the Calder.

******* sickening.

Correct. I have every confidence that this team will excel in the playoffs. I don't care a single bit about the possibility of disappointment. Apparently the latter is not true of you.

I guess i'm the only one who wants Chicago in the playoffs. Watching them make Vancouver crap their pants in the first round would be well worth it.

I find it funny that people actually think this team is gonna turn a switch on for the post season. ****, ****...

yeah who cares, I personally could care less where we are at in the standings as long as we are in.

Flip hasn't done anything with Mo... really nobody has done anything with Mo. Flip needs to wake up and start playing like he means it along with Mule. Scratching Hudler was dumb IMO as he was trying at least while Bert is allowed to not give a damn and be in the lineup.

unless its broken anything, he will be playing in a week round one game one. man's an animal.

That wasn't the puck. It was Zetterberg's head.

It's not your fault.

Hoping Mursak can be this year's 08/09 Helm. Hopefully we won't need any callups, but I do love Mursak's speed.

F -- Ovechkin. Imagine telling him he has no pressure on him and just go play. Imagine THAT result. D -- Weber. For reasons already discussed G -- Luongo. He's so big you'll always be able to see him on the bench as he backs up the Great Jimmeh Howard

If I heard wings fans doing that Looooooooooou retardation every game I would go on a killing spree.

Great choice. Not so sure about Emery though.

Buttman is an arse. First Canadian city that looks like they need a stadium, he threatens some sort of move. Meanwhile Buttman never suggests huting teams in US cities like Atlanta, & Phoenix to move. Shut the **** up!!
