Bulls***. I can count the number of bad games he's had this season on one hand. Goaltending is not this team's problem by any stretch of the imagination.

Agreed. I don't think anyone has a problem with the league making money. More revenue, the cap goes up, that benefits the Wings. But from a fan's perspective, it's about maintaining integrity while also making money. Like putting advertisements on the players jerseys. That would make the league a ton more money. Is it going to change in any way how hockey in the NHL is played? Absolutely not. But I still hope they never do such a thing because even though the game is exactly the same, it cheapens it. The Winter Classic had integrity and by it's exclusivity of once a year it was a special event. The amount of promotion, build up to the game, everything keyed in this one outdoor game. Adding 5 other games certainly isn't the end of the world, but it took an incredibly unique event and basically turned it into 6 hockey games that are played outside.

We like our team

Anytime a Wings player has a chance from a high scoring area like Mule just did and they pass the puck, Babcock should bench them the rest of the game. Maybe then they'd get the message to shoot the damn puck! You are not the Russian 5. When you get in a high percentage area, let er rip.

When is a Wing going to respond?

I don't think he's a disappointment. He's a guy that creates energy and is capable of 30 points. Which I'm sure he could do if he played. Looks like a dumb contract for the little amount of ice time he's getting

Jimmy's allowed to have a s***ty game. Some of our players have had a s***ty entire (half) season. Blaming Jimmy? Really? This board...sometimes I feel like I'm being trolled hard. I'm just gonna...go over here...

I am super mad. Much like many of you on here. I mean, I am probably madder then I should be about a hockey game. But comments like these are sad and embarrassing. This team does not deserve to get booed off ice. They have made the playoffs for 20 straight years and have given all of us, including you, something to cheer about more then any other franchise in the NHL. This team works harder on a nightly basis then many teams from the past red wings team. This will happen with young kids in the lineup. We dominated tonight and 2 stupid mistakes lost us this game. it sucks.

Howard had a Sh** night. But he is a good goalie & he has been there almost EVERY game he has played this year. He absolutely contributed to this loss, but we are on the edge of the post season for soooooooo many reasons that have nothing to do with him. We have way too many 4 liners, throughout this line up; And that... is the GM's responsibility to address. as it was last year & the year before.

Kipper stole the game and Jimmy needs to never come out of his net again.

I am done with them for the night. They are scary bad to the point of embarrassment. But I have one piece of advice before I go: SHOOT THE F#*%KING PUCK.

f*** you all, Dan Cleary started that whole debacle with another TERRIBLE giveaway on the PP, followed by ANOTHER TERRIBLE ENTIRE TEAM CHANGE.

At least you got your money Howard.

GET DAN ******* CLEARY OFF THIS TEAM f*** f*** f***

That goal sums up our season.

I know I'm a pessimist, but this team is not playing with the urgency required. Looks like they're just skating around out there. Up the ante!

WHY THE #!*#! do you go get Tootoo if you are never going to play him when the guy is needed?

FORECHECK FORECHECK FORECHECK This is how Calgary played us last time too. They routinely have 3 guys high on the forecheck and we can't break it. Even when we do, we lack enough team speed to really make them pay.

Crosby will win the Hart even though Ovechkin deserves it most

Keep him at center. It forces him to be involved instead of floating waiting for a perfect pass. esteef

If we end up in 9th spot, I want Babcock to make the team watch this game's video in its entirety before letting them go for the season.

SHOOT THE ******* PUCK!!!!!!

eeesh, Brendan needs to take his own advice and keep it simple during his interviews. Never thought I'd long for the days when Yzerman would say absolutely nothing at all during his intermission chats.

lmao TSN pushing the Datsyuk vs Hudler player match up "clash of the titans"

This is what happens when Franzen cares... Or, my personal favorite version...
