Depending on what our other UFA do we might see him again next year.

Congratulations Forsberg on a wonderful career. Too bad your body couldn't take no more. Happy trails!!

He was aiming for the head. Claude was up against the boards on his ass and McCarty tried to knee him right in the face.

McCarty kneed the s*** out of Claude while he was down, if that is not trying to hurt a player I don't know what is.

Ericsson has had his share of mistakes as well this year. At the beginning of the season his was atrocious and he has his derp moments still.

Hell even without Cooke he shouldn't open up his pie hole. Unless he thinks the Pens should be fined (which they should be) for letting their players leave the bench.

Going into the playoffs I think we might need another depth d guy. Knock on wood that no other defensmen goes down but I wouldn't want Kindl to step in if something happens. So because most noticed that the play of certain players has gone to hell in a hand basket we cannot call them out because it would make us less of a Wings fan? Our "senseless accusations" as you put are right on the money. Kindl's play is going backwards and he is not improving, once we get healthy he won't be playing much and rightfully so.

It's about time the bottom two lines started to throw their weight around. Kindl needs to sit the rest of the game.

I didn't expect that from Milbury. Also I thought it was pretty lame that they didn't show the replays of the events that occurred during that game.

We are getting dominated on the physical play IMO. Hell it's so bad that Hudler has thrown the best check on the Wings side.

That doesn't mean Datsyuk and Cleary will go unnoticed. They have put up points throughout the year while not playing with Hudler. Those two will continue to do their thing while Hudler will slow down, if he does again.

I jizzed my pants watching this game... so beautiful I wanted to cry. MOAR I SAY.... MOAR!!!!!

That's false actually. Only about 2 games did Lidstrom play way more than usually. Minutes played for each D pair are the same since Stuart got injured,

Yep, s*** needed to be said and he said it his way.

Skip to 3:36 I hope someone said it like that honestly.

I didn't know he was still playing hockey. I remember him getting a lot of hype but I guess it hasn't worked out so far.

Bert is one person that I can think of right away. I think we overextended his role and what he can bring day in and day out. He is not a bad depth guy 2nd liner on good days 3rd liner most days but we over worked him. A game up in the rafters will do him some good IMO. E and Raf come to my mind as well (really all of our dmen). E had a stretch where he got going but now his level of play is going back to where it was at the start of the season. Raf I just wanna slap sometimes. Lidstrom has started to slow down and looked average a few games. I think it was the last Nashville game where he let someone go wide on him and get to the net which resulted in a goal. Hudler is still doing his season long yo yo act. Good one game hardly noticeable the next. Something I think that is really funny was Kronwall's intermission interview today. He said guys need to look themselves in the mirror and play harder. That's nice and all speaking it but you have to practice what you preach. For these guys to know what the issues are but actually not trying to improve says a lot.

Damn I missed the post game. I always expect Babs to say the same s***, would of been interesting to see him this time.

Yep

Howard needs to think the defense for cleaning up a lot of the rebounds he let happen. Some plays he didn't even have the puck and had no idea where it was.

For all the s*** he has done I cannot think of a player that "accidentally" hurt him besides the fight.

According to the rules yes it is fair. I honestly don't have anything against the way the system is now. Get over it.

Oh for f*** sake people get over the Nabokov thing.

Didn't the Wings miss a lot of open nets as well and hit the posts a lot? Heartless, sloppy, and dumb plays are the reason the Wings are not scoring.

Pfft my OG post was gooder the way it was.
