Howard injured? No way. same guys every year. Slappies just don't want to come out of the narrow hallway...

is Francine playing or does he still have a boo boo?

Gretzky.

Babcock will turn the Leafs around...next year. Do you think he'll take Cleary with him for some veteran leadership?

twas only a matter of time before Johan went out with an injury...didnt think it would be this soon. appreciate his goals tonight. Kids are awesome. But u cannot believe someone earlier compared Q to Lidstrom.... Q isn't good enough to lick Nicks sweaty crack. Now if you want to say he is playing "solid" again, fine. But Lidstrom? Please...

fixed. Call him the Mule because he is an ass. He sucks. Twice he f***ed up that powerplay. What a waste of money and roster space.

******* Franzen is horrible! Anyone who thinks he is an important part of this team is seriously drinking the Zima...

hope the schedulers find it in their hearts to make Tampa be the last team to play there so Steve won't find it a conflict of interest in showing up for the last ever game in HIS house. Better yet, why don't we just go ahead and promote (for lack of a better word) Holland and bring Steve home as our GM... I was there as a 9 year old for the first ever game, sadly I can almost guarantee I will not make it for the last....oh what memories though!

ya, just like the city developed the old Tiger Stadium land... They'll knock it down and it will remain a vacant lot for years.

the only thing I would seriously tank is most of our D and a couple of fwds. If we want a retool, lets do it. Whoever we cannot trade, waive. Gone: Franzen, Cleary, Ericsson, Quincey, Kindl and Howard. Weiss as well since he seems like he can't get a break. I know, there are NTC's, but this is just my retool. Replace them with kids and I bet the streak still remains intact. Those guys bring nothing to this team that our kids won't bring...except they will bring less enthusiasm than the kids.

I won't miss Babcock.

they're our top line...bar none. Until Pav gets back and Abby and Francine are not on it.

I called that when he signed here. I said it won't be long until Danny is our top defender. Kronner is a better player when he isn't called on to be the #1. E is hot garbage. Smith is what he is and Q and K...well...

Z may still be our #1 center, but no way Abby and Franzen are #1 wingers. So basically Sheahans line is #1...Helm is useless.

you guys are complaining about Z alot...whats up? He couldn't be experiencing back problems could he?

don't know how much longer people will be sold by E. I've been calling him a farce for a while now. I still maintain this team wouldn't miss a beat if he were gone. Q, K and E...three guys who wouldn't be missed.

wait, what? Franzen had two ok games and now he is missing? No way.

Thank you Kenny.

no tv available, doesn't sound too good in here...more bad E play? Howard? Z not 100%?

think they would take Q and Weiss for Petry? Nobody wants Kindl...he could be utilized in and out with Lashoff.

Go Wings, Go! no Cleary! Yes!

is it that our forwards missed point blank or that their goalie made the big saves when called upon? That's what goalies are supposed to do. That's what Jimmy is supposed to do now and then. But I somehow cannot imagine that Glenny and Andy's point blank shots were anything near as perfect as Getz's...he is 109 times the player they are, other than poking it off his stick, jimmy didn't have a chance on the 3rd goal. I still don't like him though.

I don't usually defend Big E, but to me it looked like he did all he could do by taking away the pass for the easy slam dunk from Kesler. What I am not sure if I saw or not is if Jimmy tried to poke check the puck off Getzlaf's stick. E had the pass and had to allowed the goalie to take the shooter (like a two on one.) Francine had his man all the way to the net. Getz was close enough, I believe that Jimmy could have poked at the puck and knocked it free. Other than that, it was a perfect shot from a great player who gets paid to score those perfect goals. I would have been more upset if it was a 4th line grinder that burned Jimmy, but its hard to stop Getzlaf in a situation like that, just as it would be hard to stop Pav or Hank in that same situation. When you get paid $7m+ you have to score goals like that, it had to be perfectly placed and it was...most other players either put it right into Jimmy or sail it over the net. Again, if E runs at Getz, then Kesler has a slam dunk...E did what he could have, IMO.

didn't watch but the last 5-6 mins...how'd the guys look? The Z line looked good from what I did see, even Francine. From the sounds of it on here, Howard blew...go figure.

what are you willing to bet Q or K are like, "damn glad that wasn't me! I got enough heat on my back!"
