    ECQF Game 2 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Tampa Bay Lightning 5

    Must win for Tampa. Hopefully the pressure melts their faces. Mrazek takes another step towards the Conn Smythe

    WCQF : (7) Winnipeg Jets vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

    Now you just sound like grimes talking about the Bruins
  3. Except for Bishop's bed pooping, I can't see Tampa playing any better than they did tonight. Detroit on the other hand. Plenty of room for improvement. Need more out of Nyquist, Tatar, and Sheahan, although it must have been tough for them with all the penalties. If Mrazek can stay dialled in, this series could be a nightmare for the Bolts.

    WCQF : (7) Winnipeg Jets vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

    Almost 40 hits after one period.

    Another weak call

    I feel like a few more Wings fans would automatically upgrade the intelligence of this Lightning home crowd.

    Two derps for Marchenko so far.

    Jesus. 24 pages already. Nice. All hands on deck.

    ECQF : (7) Sénateurs d'Ottawa vs. (2) Les Canadiens de Montréal

    Unless Ottawa roll over.

    Not a single sports writer is picking the Wings in this series. I like it.

    Brendan Smith

    Well Marchenko hasn't really done anything dumb yet. So until he does, he's my guy. If Smith can take his job back at some point, then good for him too. I personally have no agenda here, I just want the guys to play that give this team the best chance of winning. For me, saying "He screwed up" seems a lot easier than issuing a laundry list of excuses.

    Dumbest Wing since Aaron Ward.

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    I could see a forward getting hot like that long before I could see the D being physical and mistake free.

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    Exactly right. Personally I'm hoping more for a "2010 Halak" type scenario. That Montreal team was not overly tight or physical. At least not like Anaheim in 03, Calgary in 04 or Edmonton in 06 were. Halak beat Pittsburgh and Washington almost by himself.

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    Both goalies have issues, but IMO the tiebreaker is Mrazek's ability to handle the puck.

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    I know you love Petr and all, but with the other Mrazek thread plus the "what will our lines be vs tb" thread, this seems a little self-serving or something. Just my 2 cents.........

    Red Wings' playoff lines and priorities

    Must mean Abdlekader's not playing.

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    Ferraro in = Abdlekader out.

    ECQF : (7) Sénateurs d'Ottawa vs. (2) Les Canadiens de Montréal

    I expect Montreal to win at least one round. After that, their lack of offense will be their downfall. Part of me would love to see Price run out of gas because they were so concerned with that stupid wins record. Should have rested him more down the stretch.

    The Future

    Blashill and the Griffins management, in general, deserve a ton of credit as well.

  22. Zetterberg. Leads team in points. 2014-15. Is healthy for almost a full season. 77 games played. When asked by reporters last night to respond to 'genius-best-coach-ever' coach's comments about "not thinking the team was a playoff team" back on July 5th said, with a grin, "you should have asked me because I thought we were a playoff team back in July" Yep. Complete fail. What a loser.
