"Just let him go, he's on a roll!"

I agree, Franzen has been one of the more consistant wings throughout the playoffs. i was just suggesting that lilja was less at fault for the loss then everyone is making him out to be. Yes, an error was made in judgement by skating the puck directly in front of his own net when he was the last man back but again, they should not have been in that position.

In 2005, Lilja, and fellow Swedish hockey players Henrik Tallinder and Kristian Huselius were investigated on suspicion of sexual exploitation. In March of 2005, all three players were suspended from the Swedish national team for one year, with Huselius and Tallinder being released by Swedish club Linköping and Lilja being suspended by Swedish club Mora for the rest of the season. -either it was rape or someone forgot to pay their stripprs!

The wings ended their season when they failed to clear the puck out of the zone on sunday. Remember how quick prior opponents folded when the wings scored late in regulation? The red wings are officially on hospice.

I've been reading these post for awhile and have kept my mouth shut until now. For starters... who wrote that matthew schinder is a better defensman then sourey? I didn't even realize they had him marked as a "D" until this year. He maybe the worst defensively skilled d-man in the league. He does have a cannon from the point and he does have great offensive talents. Next point, to the individual that wrote that the wings still need to re-sign holmstrom. They already did, 3 years. I hope like hell the wings win tonight and take game 7. They match up extremely well against ottawa. It will be a shame to not watch the wings play for the cup. Even tho there are only a hand full of people watching!
