I blame Filppula for being completely invisible for this game.

If this is the last period of Wings hockey I get to watch this year, it has been a hell of a ride and the Wings future looks very bright. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS TO END YET. ONE GOAL.

Funny that Filppula's last shift as a Wing might be something only less comical than Kopecky's last shift with the Wings.

Drop Cleary, Sammy, Bertuzzi, go after a top 6 forward, keep Nyquist, Tatar, and Anderson up. The Defense is young, but is adapting well. Also bury Monster, he blows.

I vehemently disagree. This is a young, banged up Wings team playing WAY above their heads.

No this isn't me expecting a last game Wednesday. I have been lucky enough to cheer for a team where every year was a competetive year. I arrived in Vancouver in 94 just after the riots and was very interested in this game called hockey. My cousin was watching the Canucks play the Wings and he was being all gooey about how this Canucks team was just one win away from winning the 'cup'. What 'cup'? The 'Stanley Cup'! The cup that caused the riots, he says. In the Philippines, we last took a stand and marched the streets, peacefully, for our rights. What is this cup that can cause a riot? The wings won that day and my cousin was angry. I said to myself: 'I'm gonna cheer for those guys'. I don't want a team that caused riots!. I go to school and I play hockey for the first time. I passed the puck to my goalie and i scored on my own net. My whole team was dejected but they said 'it's ok, we'll score back'. Although I scored another goal on my own net I remembered what it was like to play the game. I watched highlights on tsn and followed the wings religiously. NHL 91 was my very first video game. NHL 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 all followed. I put my faith in the wings. I prayed for them. I cried for them and I trusted in them. Every success they had, I felt, was also my success. I had something to believe in. 96 was a major year for me and all wings fans because this was the Yzerman goal. I remember me sitting down in front of the TV then jumping uncontrollably. It was 'our year'. Finally after losing last year. Then we face the avs and draper gets hit. We lose the series. I was still in grade school and had been bullied so I just went home, waited for wings highlights and got my taste of success. Then March arrives and mccarty pummels lemieux, scores the winning goal and exacts the full revenge. I felt a sense of euphoria knowing that there's always a next time. We win the cup despite being underdogs to the flyers. I watch vlad's crash video. I was dejected. Next year we play our hearts out after losing a key player and sweep washington. I see Stevie put the cup on vlad's lap and wheel him around while the whole team was behind him. I cried. I get teary eyed even now. They did something more than for themselves. I applied that in my life. Mediocre years came but I still got to watch hall of fame players wear a wings jersey. Fedorov, larionov, coffey, ciccarelli, vernon, shanny, hull, robitaille, murphy, clark, cujo. Then 02. Hasek takes us to the finals and during the year I watched Zata and Datsyuk play alongside Hull...i knew they'd be superstars. 08 and 09 come and last year. I reflect back and realized that I've been very lucky. I watched hall of famers, loved the game and applied everything the wings did, to my life. I go through hard times and know there will be a next time. I go through good times and enjoy it cuz there might never be that chance again. I never regretted anything. Last year was when the last of my childhood heroes left. Lids and homer. I loved them both. Then I look back at this team that they built. They're young and inexperienced still. But, like I did, believed. In a year that 29 teams would have used to tank and get first pick, we go to second round and take the best team to 7. I never once doubted. I prepared for the worst and always expected the best. It has been a joy to watch the new era carry that torch. In retrospect, we should have been all playing golf after the season. But this team made it possible for more palpatations and for wings fans everywhere to still believe. Let's go red wings *clap* *clap**clapclapclap*!

Hopefully Helm will be healthy and ready to go next season.

Filppula - Goodbye Frangelina - Goodbye (see ya in Vancouver) Cleary - Goodbye Bertuzzi - Goodbye Samuelsson - Goodbye This team is a dire need of TWO top 6 scorers....and someone to give Kronwall a blanket party to wake his ass up! Hello! You are the #1 guy here, PLAY LIKE IT! on a side note, so glad I don't have to stop complaining about "The Choice"

CBC showed the replay, with sound, no commentary. The ref clearly blows the whistle back at center ice before the pass is even made to the goal scorer. Argue the ref's decision to make the call all people way... but listen to the replay, he clearly blows the play dead. It is what it is.

Biggest kill of the season.

despite all this mess we ae only down 1 1f w can tie we l take momentum and do to them what they did to us 6last 1

20 minutes left for Crawford's SHUTOUT. What a clutch goalie to earn a game 7 SHUTOUT

Oh. My. God. Just go play outside or something. It's 2 minutes into the second period, one goal is scored and you're calling it a day. Why do you bother?

Shaw has a face you want to slap.

hey im still going to be on here during the off season and I still love this team no matter what proud of the effort

All in all, one of the funnest playoffs weVe had in awhile. The Kings and Hawks will be a fun series. We out hit the Hawks, think of what the Kings will do to them

I fail to see how being disappointed about losing a series in which we were up 3-1 is whining or entitlement. Maybe we weren't supposed to make playoffs, but once we're up by that much, we were supposed to win. I'm not angry or calling for anyone's head, I'm just deflated. This shouldn't have happened, upstart or not.

I'm proud my wings made it this far. We have a lot of good young guys and things are looking up for us. Good job guys!!!!

Go to bed then. God a'mighty.
