Detroit # 1 Fan

Babs line earlier in the year about wanting to be the toughest team, but not being built that way and the way he applauded Bertuzzi for fighting Weber make me believe he'd be a hell of a coach if he had more compete and more physical presence. Babs isn't the problem, but Holland and Nill might be. This off-season will be the biggest since 06-07, Holland delivered that year by getting Rafalski and Drake. Lets see what he does this time around.

I really hope the Pens are toast tommorow. No Neal, Asham, Adams and an invisible star player as well as a captain flustered to all hell.

It's tough to admit, but they are the better team. This playoffs is different, I've never conceded defeat as a fan and admitted the Wings didn't have it. But in the 2nd half of the season, they were awful. I really believed that switch could be flipped, but that ship has sailed. Franzen needs to go, enough of his excuses for not showing any effort at all, the playoffs are here and he's done nothing. If Fil isn't nursing an injury, I'd think about moving him too. After a career year, a guy who's usually great in the playoffs is playing like he is? Hudler is making him look bad. We need to get bigger, and faster, and inject more skill and grit into the lineup, a better balance. Look around the league at the series right now, so much physical play, great goals, so much hate and intensity and speed. The Wings and Preds series had a bit of fire, but after Bert sparked the team in Game 2 they've been flat. Howard also needs to bounce back next year, he was looking like a Vezina winner in the 1st half and then injuries derailed him. Just a frustrating time as a fan right now.

Well, a 1st round ouster in 5 games should be enough for Kenny to make some changes. The compete level just isn't there from everyone, and Jimmy did not have a very good night. Not much else to say right now.

Someone pointed it out, but Fil has been so brutal in the series and already tonight. What's gotten into him? He's so timid when the pucks on his stick, and he refuses to drive the middle. Z's been a beast, but his line mates need to step it up

Pretty good period. Bounce here or there and we'd have a lead. Keep it up!

Man do I ever dislike Radulov. What a weird dude lol

CBC guy just called Howard, Osgood

Reputation call. Kill it off boys

Man Dano and Datsyuk are playing great! Gotta bury one!

Man is Quincey effective on the PP, wish we'd let him bomb it away with Homer in front.

Come on PP, get it done.

Big hit by White, atta boy!

Florida getting crushed.

We've been pretty good in Game 4's the past few years, and so has Franzen which is real important. We need to skate hard, play physical and score some goals. Get er done

Did I call you a bandwagoner? Nope, was just asking a question. Again, thicker skin pal. I'm the one who "fails"? Like I just said, I'm no name caller. I just wanted to understand your reasoning behind calling people out for being bandwagoners because of age when you say you learned the game in Canada and are a fan of an American team. Plus, I can see your not here for just talking hockey because I'm the only one talking rationally too you and your using your condescending words and phrases, and exclamation marks which really make you look correct. Well played, I'll move along now because I "failed" in just trying to have a conversation Them Preds fan, not hostile at all nope.

Fair points. I'm not a name caller, I just wanna know why you call the young posters bangwagon fans, yet you say you moved to Nashville after expansion. When you lived in Canada, learning and playing the game you must've had a favorite team, no?

Now your really making this fun. So your calling all the young people on here bandwagon fans, how old were you when you moved to Nashville? You learned and played hockey in Canada, so who was YOUR favorite team during that time? Couldn't have been the Preds, because you just said you've lived there since 98 when they became a hockey team. Gotta watch what you say pal, your not smarter then everyone like you think you are

What purpose exactly are you posting all this fun stuff on here for? Wow Kevin Klein went shelf on Howie and made a great move, cool. I remember back in 1997 a guy named McCarty who wasn't exactly a goal scorer putting a great move on the Flyers d-man and scoring. You don't see me posting on a Flyers board about it. Oh and I know you'll pull the "stop bringing up things that happened in the past" card, so lets live in the present. Your Preds have played well, I'll give ya that pal. But if Franzen's goal was a half a second quicker, that game could've been totally different. But wait, your gonna pull the "lets not talk hypotheticals here" card so... do you see where I'm going with this? Your always gonna have an excuse to try to make your argument "win" or "hold more water" then us "delusional, past living" Red Wings fans. Do me a favor, talk hockey like the rest of us, or give it a rest trying to convince Red Wings fans during the playoffs against your team, that you are correct in any of your assessments and arguments. Plus, I bet if it was Weber taking away the Preds ping pong table from the Wings I could go on the Preds forum and you'll be laughing it up. It's funny man, grow some thicker skin and chill

Man do I like Zenon Konopka, guys out there on the PP for Ottawa in a scoreless game winning draws and screening the goalie, what a beaut

It is sad, because I could see it too.

God bless ya Bert

One down, two to go. Asham has got to get at least a game for intent to injure, and Neal is having a double hearing today so I've gotta think he gets more then just a Weber wrist slap.

Alls right in the hockey world.. that isn't Red Wing related

Brown scores! Fitting, suck it Vancouver
