See and that's why bringing him back would be a huge mistake, let him sign a one day contract with Ottawa and retire there.

Wow that presser seemed like he almost cried a few times, this guy won't be without a job for long. Also I would be willing to bet a lot of money on Poile being the next in line. I mean he hasn't given Trotz the horses to create a bit of offense so what did he expect ? If Carlyle gets fired I could see Nashville hiring him.

13 goals in two games against the Kings is certainly a statement but the Sharks haven't won yet they need to take one in LA if they do that, they advance.

Chara would have won that's not even a question. Sometimes confidence is good but overconfidence never is. Bruins will continue to go hard to the net, so the Wings need to fix the PP and especially their transition game, because it will be the key in this series. And as always I'm expecting a good effort ands ee where it goes realism is not doom and gloom it's jsut accepting that the other team is better. This is the almost same defense which shutdown Malkin and Crosby

Please don't change my quote you can change it after the quote but not before, because: it's out of context I didn't write what you just quoted. Sure game 1 + 2 are on Lindback but game 3 had 2 serious bad calls: the goal and the knee against Stamkos.

I think the Blues want to even the score Bluesstyle = winning the battle and once the thing is in the back someone will knock out Keith, Toews or Kane guaranteed and whoever it is will be a hero.

Just found a video and it was Keith who said that stuff, enjoy your stay Keith Reaves or Jackman might be looking "close" at you I so can't wait till some Blues players is absolutely destroying their stars. Will Bickell have the guts to fight Reaves ? And if so who stands a chance against Sobotka or Jackman Don Cherry also called out Keith and thankfully so the guy acted like a ***** against Tarasenko why not do it against some other Blues player you know...Reaves aso?

Exactly and that's one of the most difficult things playing against Boston, their D and goaltending is soo good and when your powerplay sucks, they don't fear taking penalties because the team can easily handle it. I applaud Smith for trying to go with Chara but in the end it would have been stupid and we can't afford to lose him our defense is already weak without him my oh my.. Chara may not be a fighter but the guy is so strong and his reach is almost unreal (his dad has been a pro wrestler). It will be interesting how the Wings are going to bounce back from this, if they lose their cool again the outcome will be the same.

As long as someone doesn't officciate him out of the game the NHL won't improve. as for the game Prust should get a suspension, I like the guy but let's see him doing that against Calgary when McGrattan is on the ice...that was bulls*** and huge kudos to Stamkos the guy always comes back broken nose, kneeing nothing can stop him what a great player. The disallowed is ******* unreal, guess the NHL wants at least one Canadien team to advance.

The thing is the Wings should not and can not engage into the physical stuff, the Bruins and everyone else knows it. So what are they trying to do run our guys over and hope for a reaction not rocket science but effective. One thing to keep in mind other teams will have problems against this team too they are the best team in the east for a reason, so no shame in losing against them.

Wow Kings need to start shaking up their defensive play in a hurry

well he sees the ice on a different level and can make things happen others can't even dream about. Even if the Bruins are winning the next 3 this Wings team showed some promise for the future just don't bring back some over the hill veterans next year.

Thats the game

Having the series tied against such a good team is a good thing. I didn't expect the Wings to win but for sure to put up a fight can't ask for more. Boston is by far the best team in the East again

boy would I love such a line exactly how you build a fourth line

Should be a very good goal

special teams need to be better if the Wings want to get back

At least this will be a very good learning experience for the young players, when you are up against such a good team you are going to learn a lot from it. And I also think Kenny will learn how to put together a feared 4 line :-)

playoffs aren't about class they are a war :-)

because we have so many tough guys for that and playing right into the Bruins style is the false thing to do

Chara was ready so was Smith then the refs came in and I think for the better, Smith would have lost.

LOL Smith trying to fight Chara... anyway settle down now and regroup at least now guys will understand why a guy like McGrattan is needed for next year

guys guys settle down they look nervous and intimidated just settle down and cool your nerves

SETTLE down otherwise the bear is going to get his flesh
