    ECQF - Game 4 - Bruins 3 at Red Wings 2 (F/OT)

    How come a great team like Boston has room on the roster for a goon like Thornton, playing 7 minutes a night? Meanwhile, our crappy 4th line apparently can't afford to waste roster space on a guy like that? Or so they say.

    Kronwall just matched his point total of a season ago in the playoffs.

    Good period. Just need to work on our aim. Too many misses on net on great scoring chances.

    Very energetic period so far. Still making too many dumb defensive mistakes and lapses. But I suppose that will happen with our defensive lineup.

    Least Favorite Wings Players

    I don't blame any of the players as much as I blame Holland and Babcock. Responsibility should start at the top and it's the main reason why our defense sucks, or we don't have enough grit, scoring wingers, etc. Those two have been carrying a mediocre squad around for a few years now.

    So if Carey Price was our goalie, we'd have won two games by a score of 1-0, and lost the other game by a score of 1-0.

    The people blaming Howard are also blaming everyone else. If you go back through this thread (I don't recommend it) you'll see that.

    Wings won the Cup in spite of Osgood in 1998, not because of him. Watch the recaps of those entire 1998 playoffs, and you'll see him give up so many mindblowingly bad goals. Quick was the exact opposite in 2012 (of course the goalie position changed since 1998). Eventually, Ozzie was moved after some subpar performances against Colorado in the playoffs, and that 2001 disaster against LA. If Quick sucks several seasons in a row in the postseason, he may get the same treatment.

    Tootoo would at least fire up the crowd and not be afraid to drop the gloves against a player any size. Babcock and Holland don't like players like that. I still don't know why they signed Tootoo. I also don't know why they obtained Legwand and have put him on a line with jobbers. Maybe they're punishing former Nashville players.

    Fans are less likely to blame a goalie who's a few seasons removed from taking the franchise where it's never been before. Howard is playing in Hockeytown and can't get past the 2nd round. Of course our fans are going to react more harshly than LA fans towards Quick. A player has to prove himself before he can get some kind of immunity from a fanbase.

    Quick won the Conn Smythe a few years ago in one of the best goaltending performances ever. Howard can't get past the 2nd round.

    Here's what I say to Alfredsson wanting a Cup.

    Sergei Fedorov was seen leaving the arena in disgust and shaking his head at Holland.

    Franzen had a point in game 1. You forgot Babcock.

    Any chance Brock Lesnar can suit up for us next game?

    Bergeron can shoot from 100 feet away better than our vanilla midgets can from point blank.

    Can Alfredsson shoot the puck at Lucic's head like he did Niedermayer in the Finals?

    They'd put up a better fight. At least Gadzic wouldn't let that big goof Chara laugh at his whole team like that.

    I wonder if anyone has told Ilitch, sitting in his pressbox at Tiger Stadium, (or wherever they play now) what this sorry team is up to tonight?

    Especially when they can't score even strength either. Not a good combo.

    Or chant "We Want Sammy!" just to troll Kenny.

    If Weiss were healthy, Legwand wouldn't be in Detroit. Those two aren't much different at this point. Datsyuk isn't healthy because he's frequently not healthy. His age is also a problem. When was the last time this team was healthy throughout the season? Can't be a coincidence.

    Remember how in "Slapshot", before the final game, the other team dressed a bunch of goons from various leagues, and totally caught the Chiefs off guard? That's what we should do for game 4.
