It's almost like it's a good idea

It's time to get desperate, no "spreading the offense" because it's not helping. Put Z, Dats and Nyquist on the first line and then make the rest whatever you want.

Both of these goalies suck

That and we'll be back next year

People love to to say anyone that doesn't think their team is perfect all the time is a bandwagoner and then when they lose they say at least they stuck by them the entire team. Though it's not like any of us are going to miss Friday's game, even if we don't want to watch

Tell me how you call yourself a fan. Do you have any optimism at the beginning of the season? Are you only happy if your team is loaded with superstars? You called this team a failure when they lost in Game 7 in 2009 because that was the one time you got to see them live. Well boo hoo how about all the real fans that would love to take a trip to the Joe to see their team? You say you won't go to the Joe unless they have a legit chance at winning the Cup. I live in St Louis and I would pay a lot of money to just go see a regular season game in Detroit. You aren't a fan, you just want to be associated with a winner so you get upset when the team doesn't go 82-0 and sweep the playoffs

Franzen and Bertuzzi should not be playing with Datsyuk.Franzen shows very little effort now that he’s set for life. Bert, while heshows effort, is too slow for Datsyuk and for a second line player, Franzenbeing on the same line doesn’t help. Datsyuk is more of a playmaker than ascorer so he needs a guy that can score that can also make plays, enter ZachParise. Parise needs to be signed this year. Franzen can be traded forprospects or as a salary dump for all I care. Hudler should not play on the power play; he is slow andallows too many breakaways from playing on the point. His shot is never usedbut when it is he relies on deflections. I wouldn’t mind him leaving but if hestays he should not be played on the first line. Sadly, the Wings look like they’re destined for a fewhorrible years if they don’t change. We can’t stick with aged veterans whilethe division gets younger and stronger. One of the toughest things needs to bedone and we need to let Holmstrom and Lidstrom walk. They’ll stay a part of theorganization (Lids will probably become a scout in Sweden). This will clear upsalary to sign new guys (such as Parise) and make the team younger. Again, it’shard as these guys are some of the best (Lidstrom is the greatest d-man of alltime to me) but it’s their time. MakeZetterberg captain and give Parise his A. This team needs some size. We can’t keep losing puck battleson the boards or keep getting knocked away when entering the zone. We don’tneed goons but we need guys that won’t take s*** from the other team. Sign Ryan Suter to take Lidstrom’s place. He’s young andincredibly talented. There’s no way Nashville will be able to keep him withRinne’s salary doubling, re-signing Weber and keeping their team from fallingapart to free agency. New approaches to the game are needed. Hoping for adeflection or a little bounce to go in isn’t going to work anymore. Neither istrying to use the backboards, everyone is on to our trick. The lower lines needto crash the net. The top six need are the only guys that I trust to try towork a fancy goal and even then I’d like to see more hardwork than trying tobeat the goalie with fancy moves. Get rid of Kindl. There’s no need for him, he didn’t play inthe playoffs because he isn’t good. Smith is ready and needs to play now, hell,even Janik is better than Kindl.

Well, we already are down 3-1 and we lost in 2010 in Game 5 while down 3-1

Trade Franzen for Stevie

Basically this

He's UFA anyway

How about the defensive and offensive coordinators that they brought that had no NHL experience?

They'll be the only team left I don't hate if we don't pull off a miracle

I want Parise sooooo bad

f*** everything

Game and series there

Get the rebound!!

Embarrassing pp

Please score

HOWARD WHAT THE f***

Yeah!!!

We MUST score here

And of course

No goal!!
