All in all another good period.

Yeah, but he doesn't have that smugness in his face.

Gus is out because of Flu.

And Getzlaf.

Marchand has one of those faces that makes you want to grab your stick, jump through the TV and pummel him.

Great first offensively, still need to cut down on the giveaways defensively.

Flu? Are you kidding me.

It would be awesome to have him this series.

Almost!

When Marchand heard Bert was playing first thing he did was crap his pants.

So was he.

Not hilarious, but good for a chuckle.

He's got a big beard, sorta looks like a Swedish gnome. Not sure what the official scouting report says, but he's small (not sure if he can compete in the NHL).

I'll change it, but I'm inferring he'll play.

Z almost officially cleared, will play. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2014/04/report_henrik_zetterberg_to_be.html With limited minutes, Babs needs to use him strategically. On the PP full time, and pick your spots; during the game. We will win this game.

I'll be excited if he actually plays, until then it's all talk.

He's a master stickhandler on and off the ice.

Mods should change the title before some fans have heart attacks.

Did he pull it out of a hat? - Because, you know ... Magic.

Sit Kindl- play Ouellet. That will be my motto throughout the playoffs.

Nothing about the coaching makes any sense. The Wings keep running the same play over and over, and are shocked its not successful. From line selection to playing time, to running actual plays; the coaching staff is really dropping the ball here. The staff deserves plenty of blame, but the main reason we look so bad out there is because the effort is lacking. We've got half the team just standing around digging in their noses, while the other half- I genuinely don't know what the other half is doing. We're losing every 50/50 puck, because we're playing soft. Way too many fly by's on the forecheck, and way to many give-a-ways on the backcheck.

No one player cost us the game, it was a total team effort; including the coaching staff(Babcock isn't helping with his ridiculous line choices.). The urgency just isn't there, for whatever reason. The Wings have played scared for 2 straight games, and not scared of the "big bad bruins", but of losing. Hopefully this third period is carried over to game 4 and we tie it up at 2.

That's not true, I'm sure Franzen has finished a few hamburgers in his time.

I'm going to try to be positive, if we can take this third period and carry it over to game 4, I think we still have a chance.

We looked good, who the f*** pulls a goalie with 3 min left?
