    Welcome Back Mule!

    On top of that, the 3rd line at the time with Abdelkader, Miller, and Helm was one of, if not our best line. They were really grinding the opposition defense, providing a lot of garbage and chaos in front of the crease, and even putting the puck in the net at a decent clip (considering its essentially a Grind Line). Ironically, we demoted Franzen to the 3rd line and instead of lighting a fire under him and while providing the checking line with a useful big body, he continued to suck tremendous ass and effectively cooled down that line until Helm's injury. Pretty sad when the most accountability he's seen is being demoted 4 games or so, and still playing so badly that Babcock just gave up on the experiment and put him back on the first line. Its been two seasons straight now in which Babcock disrupts the chemistry throughout his lineup just trying to get Johan Franzen to play like he's capable of. Line 2 has chemistry? Put him there! Line 3 has chemistry? Put him there! Line 1 is starting to come around and score consistently? Great, its fixed; put him there! *sigh*

    This is a popular misconception. Joe Sakic beat the Wings in 96, 99, and 2000 and while I didn't like him, it was different. I didn't like him because he beat the Wings, but I respected him and the way he played the game. He let his skill do his talking. He didn't take cheapshots at people when things didn't go his way. The truth is, Wings fans (well at least me anyways), started to dislike Crosby after Game 4 in the 2008 Finals. That was the game of the famous 5-3 kill where Zetterberg stopped Crosby right on the doorstep and killed off the penalty. After the game was over, the Wings are skating back to the locker room and Crosby skates over and gets in Z's face. WTF? He's supposed to be a leader and face of the league and he's trash talking to a guy that just beat him because he's a sore loser. Since then I've opened my eyes and seen him do A LOT of shady things (slew footing, slashing every single time he loses a face off, elbows, sucker punches from behind, etc). Regardless of the outcome of the 2009 Finals, I would still hate his guts today.

    Seems like the rest of the league is finally seeing that Wings and Caps fans were on to something here...

    I didnt see the game I just saw the score...but by the look of a lot of the posts here you would think we lost 6-1 or something. All I can say is we are going to play in who we are going to play this post season and not one team out of the choices is "better" then the other. We just must have faith, like I very much do, that our boys will pull together and rock the s*** out of whomever they face...but agian I havnt seen tonites game yet...LGW

    You know what would be hilarious? If both Chicago and Detroit tried to lose the game on Saturday in order to be 6th. It would be like playing hot potato with the 5th seed

    Milbury slams Blysma and Crosby

    Wonder if Milbury might have opened the floodgates. Torts is joining in after tonight's game where Orpik decided to try and take out Stepan with a dirty knee-on-knee hit. Torts on the Penguins: Torts on the Orpik hit: Go Torts. Go Rangers.

    Yep. They look alot like last years team again. Can't score first, and you won't win in the playoffs trying to come from behind every game.

    Yes, waist of time and space. What a waist that must be.

    LOL the offseason? Pretty sure playoffs haven't started yet. Whole new beast. Never know what happens. I recall several times where the Wings play bad down the last stretch of the regular season and ended up going really far in the playoffs. It's hockey. Anything is possible.

    Orpik has previous wrt knee-on-knees as well. Franzen in the pre-season, Helm in game 6 in 2008.

    Well, it sucks we lost. But can't hate the effort, Nyquist/Emmerton/Murzak line look pretty good too. All you can ask sometimes is for an effort

    Yeah, season is over. The playoffs are overrated anyways. Not even going to bother watching, because this team won't win a game. I get more excited about the offseason anyways. Who will the Wings sign? Thrilling stuff. Can't understand why people get excited over teams that finish in a 4-5 seed. Those teams don't have a chance. Maybe next year the wings can finish with 108 points instead of 100... Then I can finally get excited about the playoffs. Maybe. Only if Hudler/Franzen/Bert are traded over the off season. /sarcasm

    No legs in the third at all. Tough to get real upset at that, but such a missed opportunity to cement finishing 4th. Saturday's game is absolutely huge now.

    They should've just knocked the net off from behind it. Apparently that's legal.

    Crowd needs to get loud so Franzen will think this is a playoff game.

    I lol'd. Love it! I must confess that I fell asleep last night, mid-game, and missed all goals and the shootout. I shall have a nap a few hours beforehand tonight, so as to be primed for viewing this evening Jersey is being nicely laundered also as I speak, so I can get this smelly vintage one off! Lets Go Wings
