GMRwings1983

Isn't Keith supposed to return now?

The way we limped into the playoffs says plenty enough. Not many people see us winning the series and even less see us advancing beyond that.

Unless these guys make a comeback.

Our defense doesn't have an identity. They're not good offensively or defensively. They don't move the puck well. Even if we traded Kronwall for Suter tomorrow, we'd still have 5 other defenseman who are suspect at times.

I didn't hear Filppula's name mentioned last night. Surprised he's still on the team after the season he had.

You never had to attend college in Missouri surrounded by those dweebs. They hate the Red Wings more than they like their own team.

I remember a thread earlier this year where I suggested trading him for Thornton (Joe, not Shawn), and people said they wouldn't. I wonder how many still feel the same way after Thornton scored 82 points in 82 games? Zetterberg, talent wise, is where Yzerman was in his last few years. Difference is, Yzerman wasn't on the top line and we had Datsyuk and Zetterberg as young stars carrying the load. This team has no young stars so we keep Zetterberg on the top line role when he clearly shouldn't be there. It's sad to watch the decline of a player and the decline of an organization that doesn't have a future lined up.

We should have won last year. We blew the series with numerous chances to finish them off.

Change isn't something Babcock or Blashill like. Stubbornness is only excusable when you win.

If they do it by merit, Zetterberg and Nyquist should not be on the top 6. They're both useless right now.

Yep. And like I said, our two goals came from fluke chances.

There's our number 1 winger getting into a fight while we need a tying goal. Freaking moron. Play this knucklehead on the 4th line where he belongs.

Why is Glenfiddich even on the ice? Just because he can win a faceoff?

In 2008.

Put Helm and Andersson on the ice here. Z as center.

LOL at Zetterberg's bad angle shot attempts. He's not even trying anymore.

This period is a microcosm of the last few playoffs. No offense. No defense.

Abdelkader's stupidity is annoying. He hurts this team too much.

Dan Cleary is probably screaming at his television screen right now. If your boy didn't s*** his pants in March, we wouldn't be in this position.

We've had lots of good chances. Just can't bury them. The two goals we scores were on harmless shots.

Jimmy Howard is doing his best Patrick Lalime impersonation now.

Kucherov has abused him all game. Need to play Helm on the 5th line (in the press box)

So much for challenging it. This team isn't clutch. Kucherov again.

Maybe he should go to the KHL instead of Datsyuk.
