Beelzebub... or Mammon. take your pick

4 straight power plays for the Penguins? ... It is only going to get worse you know..... We just need Franzen back on the ice to take McCarty's place.

How do the goalies match up? IMO Osgood has the advantage, due in part to the defense that plays in front of him.

Who will get the start in net... Osgood or Hasek? We all saw how much better the team played when we put Osgood in for Hasek... maybe if we start Hasek in for game 7(if necessary) it would light a fire under the Red Wings to get the job done and end this series.

I still think Hasek has one more game left in him 2 win.... after all he is the one of the top 3 goalies of all time!

Franzen is looking like he is going to miss the rest of the playoffs.... it is a damn shame

Franzen for Conn Smythe GO MULE!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain. I live in Florence, Alabama.

We have the best team in the NHL when we don't have injuries, but we do have INJURIES and we needed to fix them with new players which Holland did not do as promised. That being said I agree with you guys that we needed to add a scorer like a Satan or a Hossa. I have lost faith in Holland and I hope that the door hits him in the ass when he steps down/or gets fired as GM for another 1st round playoff exit. The farthest I see this current team making it this year is the 2nd round thats it. Holland needs to step down as GM. THIS TEAM has had it's best shot to win the cup in years, and it would of helped to get a top 6 forward onto this team but Holland lied to the fans again. As much as it hates me to say this, we will not be a REAL playoff team come April. We are soft, we get pushed around. The time to add a elite forward was now and we didn't do it so now we will pay the price for it. If Holland thinks McCarty is some sort of Hockey God and Stuart is the 2nd coming of Scott Stevens then kudos to him, but the real REALITY of the situation is very gloomy and grim. It is a sad day to be a Wings fan today. Thanks Kenny Holland, thanks a lot buddy. I actually feel sorry for the fans in the Detroit area who have to pay out the butt to see the Wings lose another 1st round playoff series.

Yes, I admit I am a jackass.

I have a feeling that Rafalski is going to come up huge today! Wings win!!!

In the words of Dick Cheney: "Go f*** yourself, Gary Bettman."

Could not agree more!

Yes. I hope he refs at least half, if not all of the red wings games.

Wings in 5. One game will go to double overtime and Abdelkader will score his first NHL goal?

Hell yeah!!! We need him now to replace Kopecky. He has a big body and from what I have seen he likes to use it and throw his weight around.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting a little concerned about Holmstrom's injuries? I just hope he is healthy come playoff time, cause we will really need him to help out if we are going to compete for a Cup. How inured is he? When will he return? Will Franzen replace him on the PP?

I agree with you Deke, Nashville fans are one of a kind. Very ignorant and simple minded; ignorant in the way they chant for blood and injury, and simple minded as in they only chant YOU SUCK! or RED WINGS SUCK!! Wow so original... I think it is pretty funny to listen to them sitting around saying stuff like What happened? What is Icing? Why did we not get a power play when our player dived down and didn't sell it good enough? It got ridiculous... Also when they score a goal they sing "I LIKE IT, I LOVE IT, I WANT SOME MORE OF IT!!!" And don't get me started about Tootoo whistles... lol Needless to say I was ragging and making fun of them all night in section 222. I hate country music, so every time Detroit scored I was yelling YEAH BABY!!!! THIS IS DETROIT ROCK CITY!!! I thought Hasek and Mason were gonna fight for a minute at the end of the 2nd period!!! Mason threw the puck down ice during a scrum at his net and Hasek just stood there near the blue line and didn't even move his stick but stopped the puck with it and stared down Mason.... I was like no DOM!!!! Don't hurt your hip again!! Then Downey and Drake both confronted Tootoo but of course Tootoo backed down from a REAL FIGHT/Challenge. 2 minutes left in the game Preds fans started leaving and I was yelling"Where you gusy going? Stay and watch it, your team might score a goal!" Then i was like "Good Game guys! Good game!" So when we were leaving the game, me in my White Wings jersey chanting and yelling all the way out the door phrases like "Red Wings SUCK!!!!" over and over and I started singing "I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!" hahaha Doing my little moonwalk dance and my robot dance lol Once Chris Chelios scored a goal I knew that this game was our to win, it was DESTINY!!!!! Is it me or is Pavel Datsyuk starting to think and see the game alot more clearly, like a young "Igor Larionov"? This kid amazes me every game. Franzen impressed me alot last night crashing towards the net, strong smart play. Lidstrom was Lidstrom.

Can't wait to see what kind of encore Zetterberg can bring tonight to the music city! Anyways, I will be wearing my Road white Yzerman jersey with my new red wings hat; my seating section will be 222 Row: J ; seats 6-11 Will be looking forward to see how Hasek will hold out tonight.

Cool. Well I will be down on the glass for warmups behind the visitors bench

Why is no one even talking about Nashville? they could be the 8th seed we face come April...

I will be there in Nashville. I just hope I don't hear the words..."I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.."

If he can't play in the regular season then why does he deserve a playoff spot when he becomes fully healthy? McCarty needs to move it or lose it.

I don't know really, was just under the influence of alcohol when i posted it so i thought that it might actually be true...it most likely isn't but if it is I feel like someone owes me some bubblegum!!!!
