Z Winged Dangler

Yzerman took 1.2 his last year...just sayin'. The long time serving member of the team should also care about where the team is headed after he hangs em' up and if he wants to go out on top, he needs to take a severe discount and make it so Holland can sign some actual talent ala Parise, not resign that slow piece of s*** Hudler.

Nyquist and Smith's first career goals. Other than that, the win streak was a high on a low season with a bad road losing record and no Wings player being a point per game or higher.

same reason Nyquist wasn't given a fair chance on a good line....he's not old enough to get ice time on the Wings. Fresh young legs are guided by experience and the Wings showed yet again that all the experience in the world won't win puck races and battles if you don't have enough young legs. Can't wait to see Smith up full time on the 2nd or maybe even 1st line and same for Nyquist.

Babcock needs to go to. He's got a gem in Nyquist and barely plays him. he constantly makes chances and plays with plugs. Brendan Smith's offensive and grittiness could have made a big difference in a series where the Wings D has been pathetic.

nice whiff mule....this is painful.

they haven't given us a single goal like that. not like the 3 timbits following 1 guy on the 2nd preds goal last game...junk.

now's the time to shuffle the lines to Dats/Z/Nyquist....not with 5 left in the game. i actually hate Babcock.

way to answer back after a brutal giveaway goal...f***!

not having a 1st round pick in the draft is making me more sad every day. Quincey has been very sub par since coming back.

agreed. gus is easily one of the best players on this team already. and he has YOUNG LEGS!

Babcock didn't get the memo apparently...he's a top 6 guy and he's about 6x the speed of Hudler.

agreed. unfortunately, babcock doesn't believe in rookies. they have far too much energy and jump in their step. here's my lines... Dats - Z - Nyquist (as you said) Mule - Flip - Cleary (actually been playing good....coming from a glass half empty toward Cleary guy) Miller - Abdelkader - Bertuzzi Homer - Emmerton - Hudler (got a LUCKY goal last game. has been by far the worst and most ineffective Wings player. Goals: 1 Giveaways: too high to count)

i think babcock needs to step up and do some coaching. huds got a lucky deflection goal last game, but was a piece of giveaway garbage the rest of the games. he's slow and terrible on the forecheck and can't steal the puck from a timbit, thus he loses EVERY puck battle. Nyquist needs to move to the top 6. if babcock keeps going down to 2 1/2 lines every 3rd period, Dats and Z are gonna be useless cause they can't play that much in a period at a super high level. wings will lose this series next game if babcock doesn't use his real assets like Nyquist and i think it's time to bring up Smith. the wings offense has been way too predictable and haven't gotten any good chances in the middle of the ice for 2 entire games now. last game was the worst and most boring hockey game i have ever watched. shades of the '03 ducks/devils cup final.

I never thought there would be a day that us Wings fans would be making fun of Shanny.....I'm not mad, i'm just disappointed with him.

This may help the Predators ineffective PP

they're d-bags. Z is the s*** and played like a beast tonight. great job 2-ways tonight and destroying the 5 on 3 PK

2 lucky bounces in game 1 have your preds lucky they're not down 2-0

emmerton got a goal too and actually looked really good tonight. showed he actually had speed tonight. very impressed.

now we just need the Kings to round out a great night of hockey.

welcome back home ice advantage. P.S. f*** YOU PREDS!!!!!!!

there he goes again...hustle and dive to poke it out Huds!!!

why is Hudler always a step behind?

agreed. late in the game too you gotta support better. especially when those guys have been giving the puck away all game.

me too now that Pronger is done.

the player push to back check was started by the wings. Lids and Dats do it all the time. these announcers have ZERO knowledge about jack s***.
