I dunno... Sammy's still on the point during the PP. Hudler isn't being given more minutes, despite his improved play. Filppula keeps getting minutes and time on the PP, despite being ice cold. Lilja, the shot-blocking genius, gets scratched in favor of Lebda, the second coming of Dandenault. I know, I know, if I were qualified to make the decisions, I'd be making the money behind an NHL bench. But still, you really have to question some of Babcock's decisions, so I wouldn't put it past him to make the mistake of starting Dom on Friday.

Bruce MacLeod:

Please tell me you didn't hear that in the postgame or something.

Heya Matt. I don't envy your position tonight, that's for sure. This place is a powder keg. I'd gather you're probably just as disgusted with the team as we are right now, though.

Hopefully we can get the Cujo effect going with Ozzie in Games 5 and 6. Of course, if Babcock doesn't give Ozzie the nod for the next two games (provided he doesn't @#$% the bed in Game 5), I'll be right there with Wings_Dynasty kicking my faith in Babcock to the curb.

Well, the D-Mac jersey gets retired for the post-season after only one game. The only current roster player jerseys I have left are an Osgood (which doesn't fit me anymore), a Hasek (which probably isn't good luck to wear at this point) and a Lidstrom. So it looks like next game is Lids. If we lose Game 5, I'll have to break out the Stevie Y or Shanny.

Nope, Dom was in net until Nashville's 3rd goal.

I'll say it again...Osgood NEEDS to start Game 5. His play was absolutely fantastic tonight.

Oh yeah, NOW Babcock calls the timeout.

This one's done.

Ozzie to the bench.

Giveaway by Sammy behind the net.

Osgood for Game 5. There can't be any doubt.

Nashville calls a timeout.

Filppula fans on the shot.

WHERE THE HELL IS THE TRIPPING PENALTY?!?!

I just wish we were chasing the pucks that we're dumping into the zone a little better. It's not helping things when Nashville consistently gets to the puck first and chips it right out.

Ozzie's playing like a man possessed.

Where the hell's the cross-checking call there? Homer got thrown to the ice by multiple cross-checks. Kronner knocks Dumont's lid off.

"Lebda has not played a great deal in this game..." Then why the hell did we dress him in favor of Lilja? Ugh.

Sammy with a great opportunity, just couldn't get the puck to settle on his stick quickly enough.

And I swear, Osgood's keeping us in this with saves like he made before Dats' goal. Now I'm just hoping that Nashville doesn't score a quickie....

DATSYUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4rd period beginning.
