To be a power forward you cannot be afraid the crease and actually check someone. Franzen avoids going within 10 feet of the net most of the game.

Wow! I hate going into the city but I may make a trip down just for one of those!!!!!!!

Lol I was just so mad that I stayed up to 2am to watch that debacle.

Well lets put it this way. I am a die hard Lions fan that even went to games when they were doomed to 0-16 and I live 10 hours away. I have watched every single Lions game since I had the ability to (I live outside the state) first at bars every weekend as the only Lions fan that would show his face in Bear country then . I follow teams to the end and have never gone away if they are bad...hell being bad in the Wings case for a couple years could turn out to be a good thing as they really need to restock the cupboard. I am very critical of the teams when they are not performing to the level they should and the Wings should be better than that 3rd period garbage we got to watch last night. That second goal tells it all in which both defensive-men are on one side of the ice and then both of them, Flip and Howard all over react and theres an empty net. That s*** should never ever happen. Also comparing this to 2003 is not exactly the same thing. That team was far better talent wise than this one and didn't have Pekke Rinne robbing them all series long.

I guess reality hurts? This team hasn't beat anyone in 3 months that is any good. If anyone magically expected to somehow come into the playoffs and flip the magical switch and win is on crack. Also if you are going to use the term bandwagon fan you should at least know the meaning of the word and apply it in the correct situation.

Lol @ anyone who has 'faith' in this team. Have you not watched this team since February? They haven't beat anyone and just let the Predators have home ice. They obviously don't really want it.

This team is boned. Holland resigned Bert which was a huge mistake as he has done nothing but that so called fight against Weber. Franzen is useless and for being this big time playoff guy has done squat in the last 2 playoffs. If Lids leaves this team becomes seriously mediocre and I doubt Holland will be able to get anyone like Suter or Parise as any FA would obviously see the ship is sinking. Making the playoffs is meaningless if you just squander you opportunities not only at the end of the regular season but then in the playoffs. This team needs kids that have passion like many other teams have. All these old guys they keep resigning will get them no where. When the Predators scored the first goal tonight I wanted to hang myself for recording this game and staying up late to watch the Wings fail to finish for 2 periods and then hand the Predators the game...again even though I know that is par for the course.

This tteam blows. Zero. Same chance they had when they started the series.

Shanahan is so wildly inconsistent its not even funny. Its now as if he is over correcting for his idiocy in the last week.

Well it was fun boys. Time to go play some volleyball.

Its rare in Philly lol. Philadelphia was ranked like 3rd ugliest city.

This game is totally out of hand.

Flyers easily have the deepest group of forwards. Too bad they don't have defense or a goalie.

Jagr clearly being interfered with and they still couldn't do anything about it.

Wow lol.

I think they will need to bring in the swat team to keep these guys apart at the end of the game lol.

Nice.

He was far better the second half of the season. First half was rough but he got good for awhile but the Flyers also played defense during that time... If the Flyers got Smith instead of Bryz they may be a cup contender.

ZERO defense.

Doesn't help that neither of these teams play defense.

Arg.
