So your saying he didn't look rattled??? Not blaming him just stating the obvious when the team is leaving out to dry. Boys need to drive the net and stop coasting into the Nashville zone.

Dom looks rattled, he's too far in the net, and flailing around now. And somebody please check people off the damn puck. They are playing the game like its regular season.

Boys need to move their feet more, gotta stop standing around waiting for someone to take them off the puck. Also need to get Sammy of the powerplay.

Organized chants like those would be great. Unfortunately it seems at least in America you never get a full dedicated hockey fan base in the stands. This is why crowd participation as you see in Europe probably never happen here as many of the seats are season ticket holders, either corporate or people that buy them just for something to do once in awhile. Then there are the dealers scalpers who have season tickets who sell to the guy with lots of money to waste who is looking for something to do one night. Its no big secret why there are always empty seats at the Joe. Last game I went to there were 4 guys sitting behind me, came in late, talked the whole game which they didn't watch and left half way throught the 3rd. Its especially bad in Grand Rapids when a playoff crowd of 3000 can sound louder than 10000 fair weather fans during the year.

The last home game he played hurt and still leveled at least 2 or 3 guys flat to the ice.

Corey's out?? :rotflmao:

Nice guy, my 10 year old daughter wanted to go desperately last night to Darrens last home game here so I got seats next to the tunnel. She was happy she got his poster and after their pregame practice I was happy as Darren signed my RW McCarty jersey when he came off the ice. He was trying to sign anything people hung over the rail, most of which were the posters. Great game even though Darren looked to be in pain most of the game from his sore ribs.

Yep they have the white with red/blue typically for home, blue for away and these are the special wings color jerseys they wear quite often now.

Heres a funny pic I took of McCarty on Friday. Never thought I would see this.

Yes, its Jonathan's 2nd year with GR, 7 goals, 17 assists, +4. Kindl is 3 goals, 10 assists, -23. Great guy, very tall, slim. Doesn't look for a fight but will throw down when he has too. Look forward to seeing him play for the Wings, but hope he's back to GR next month for the club dinner.

Did I hear them right and call Downey "Eric" ???

Goals like that happen when you let them stand behind your net and don't press. Saw that goal coming a mile away. That and Chelios is slow.

This just makes me feel ill, he was having a good year and has been one reliable constant this year. I knew they jinked him when they talked about his goals for the year the other night. I fear this may hurt us big if others can't step up.

Didn't people say the same thing when Neidermeyer came back ?

I love how the playoff bound physical Blues were the ones laying on the ice in pain tonight.

I saw this ending coming all week, always dangerous playing a team that has nothing to lose. Especially after all the goals they scored last night. The ref's didn't help, its almost like they wanted the wings to lose. Unbelievable amount of clutching and grabing non calls.

Give the Mule & Cleary a shot.

Well better step up and get it done in OT, or we lose in the shootout.

I hope I didn't jinx it when I set the dvd recorder for 2 1/2 hrs

Dom asked why he was penalized and the ref said " because its 5-0 Dom, don't worry about it"

Anyone know what it is?

That might be it... what I remember hearing was a "KaKaUm" sound and it must be the "KaKaLean" sub woofed out at the Joe.

There's something else played before the Russian music unless its all the same thing??

For some reason Lidstrom seems to be a little off lately....
