I wish they'd have a timer for 4-on-4 play.

Ooooooooooooh close. Damn, another Detroit penalty. Hiller is starting to look spooked though.

lol, TSN's intermission commentary is sponsored by Arby's. A SIGN?

I'm still a little worried about our scoring depth being pretty much limited to Mule, but f***, grind out this game, go back home, and try and sort something out then.

FRANZEN YOU BEAST

My god, are we actually putting sustained pressure on their zone for once?

Finally, line shuffling and a power play

If that last-minute waived goal isn't lighting a fire under their asses, what the hell will?

Yay in the sense that between it and CBC blackout or game overlap issues during the playoffs are nonexistant for me. Also it's a bit innacurate, I bounce back and forth between Vancouver and Calgary. I'd rather be in Van though.

yay for TSN

Hm, on further thought I'm leaning towards the Lidstrom jersey. the Zatta/WC jerseys didn't do any good on games 2-3

If they don't play like they care tonight, the playoffs are over for us. That said, should I break out the red Zetterberg jersey, the white Lidstrom jersey, or the blank WC jersey?

Just figures it has to be the Wings AND the Bruins playing sloppy as hell. My dad's a Bruins' fan so they're kinda my Eastern team.

Ugh, the Bruins and Wings have looked like carbon copies of one another this round.

Oh yeah great, we're outshooting them. Too bad those shots are being made with ZERO pressure so that for the overwhelming majority of the time Hiller's life is being made easy. To me that one power play where Sammy floated around to the right of Hiller and wasted some half-decent possession by lightly tossing the puck into his chest summed up the last few games, they're completely and utterly lost out there. They're acting as though simply throwing pucks at the net regardless of where they are is going to get the job done, and it's the reason we've only scored one goal in something like two entire games worth of play.

They've been playing like they don't care the last three games, why should I waste effort caring for them?

Somehow I can't envision Aaron Downey floating around on the 4th line being the one and only deciding factor why the Wings are playing like ass. Give it up.

You neglect the very real possibility that if the Wings played like they cared for more than ten minutes at a time we probably wouldn't be down 2-1 in the series in the first place. I never this season would have predicted a situation where it's everyone BUT Osgood who need a kick on the ass. As infuriated I was with the denied goal, the Wings shouldn't have allowed it to be a game-breaking decision in the first place The way they're playing right now, they don't DESERVE to win the series, let alone the Cup. I'd be ******* embarrassed for the league if their caliber of play was sufficient to go all the way. So f*** it, if being dealt a triple overtime loss didn't light a fire in them nothing is going to. Right now all I'm holding out for is that with Hossa undoubtedly moving on we integrate some of our younger guys into more permanent positions on the roster next season and hopefully get a bit more on-ice enthusiasm going.

I dunno. Beyond maybe 10-20 minutes a game the Wings play as though the don't care if they win or lose, why should I anymore? Just end this s*** and hope a team, ANY team but the Ducks goes all the way. I'm so sick of seeing the Wings get embarassed by Anaheim.

Sigh, sammy takes a shot to Hiller's chest...

God dammit, why can't the Wings play like this in the FIRST half of games too?

To be fair, I'm sure the Ducks are thrilled that Rafalski is injured. You are right though, I even felt bad for Avery when he had some kind of serious health problem last playoffs.

It does. Blood is darker the more oxygenated it is.

FINALLY See Wings? CRASH THE NET = GOALS

Incorrect. Your remark was on the amount of time that is spent talking about crosby. Even if this thread was 100 pages long, it would still pale in comparison to the amount of Wings-related material discussed here. The statement was erroneous all across the board.
