    Is the Real Brendan Smith Finally Starting the Show Up?

    It was always about taking a chill pill for Smith. When he slows the game down, skates with the puck instead of making ill advised passes, he's golden. He still makes mistakes, but this is his first 82 game season. He's shown alot of growth, I think going forward he should be paired with Kronwall full time. Ericsson can do just fine with DeKeyser. The 3rd pair needs to be revamped in the offseason.

    ECQF - Game 4 - Bruins 3 at Red Wings 2 (F/OT)

    They have no where to hide because Babs keeps playing them so much. I get it, he likes Glendening and he competes real hard. I liked Aaron Downey and he competed his ass off but I wouldn't have him playing against the Bruins top line. Glen is getting smoked in the circle and Babs keeps playing him. Bruins score a goal? Following shift Kindl/Lashoff, it's crazy. He's a great coach, but he does some f***ed up s*** sometimes.

    I'd take Brandon Dubinsky 100 times out of 100 over Franzen. We need more guys like that.

    Fair points, it was a better matchup then Boston though. At least against Pittsburgh our kids wouldn't be playing scared, the physicality of the Bruins is a factor in how guys like Nyquist and Sheahan are playing.

    I have. CBJ play with serious energy and heart, but lack high end skill. And STILL they have a tie series with the Pens. Because they're exploiting Fleury. Rask is a monster in the net, he's the difference beyond all else. Even if we outplayed the Bruins in a game, we aren't getting more then 3 past him at any time.

    So, how bad does that egg we laid against Carolina look now??? We'd be up 3-1 against the Pens. Ah, hindsight hurts.

    Exactly like the Nashville series, split on the road, s*** the bed at home. Now granted this effort was the best of the series, and Z was a warrior out there, but he had no help. Nyquist is scared to death out there, Franzen is floating, Babs has Legwand wasting away with Glendening and Miller. Nothing going our way, the kind of bounce Boston gets in OT is when the hockey gods tell ya it's not your year.

    That's the series. Too bad, Gus was great tonight gave us a chance to win. Hopefully going out in 5 to Boston is means to get Franzen off the team. Guy is a cancer.

    Loving our start. Desperate as hell, and realizing Gus is in the cage.

    This game is gonna be heart attack city, at least we have an excuse if things don't go our way...

    Gus scares the f*** out of me with how he plays in the net, the only good thing is we tend to score more goals when he's in..

    ECQF - Game 4 - Bruins 3 at Red Wings 2 (F/OT)

    I actually don't mind Bertuzzi being back in, he isn't fleet of foot but the Wings haven't exactly been using their superior speed the last 2 games... I think it's borderline retarded that Mike is sticking Legwand on the 4th line. We gave up a highly thought of prospect and a 2nd round pick for this guy and you're sticking him with Miller and Glendening????????

    ECQF - Game 4 - Bruins 3 at Red Wings 2 (F/OT)

    If nothing else, he's a huge boost mentally for the guys in the room. The most clutch playoff performer since the 04 lockout, the Captain. Hopefully Babs runs: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Abdelkader Nyquist-Legwand-Franzen Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco Miller-Helm-Glendening

    According to Ken Campbell of the hockey news, Z is back in tonight. The Wings beat guys should have confirmation of that shortly. Huge news if true. Even limited minutes of Z can make a difference against Boston.

    Least Favorite Wings Players

    This thread should be good. But it's gotta be Franzen, 6'3 223 and plays like Hudler 95% of the time, without the hustle. He could dominate games, but floats and is just generally lazy.

    Can't get much worse then that. Shake the lines up Mike, and hope to start on time on Thursday.

    Quincey almost lost us the game there.

    Better period, still horrible. 8 periods, 2 goals. Change it all, but no, Babs is smarter then us all.

    Hopefully not soon, but then again, anyones better then Andersson.

    ADQF | Game 3 | Boston 3 @ Detroit 0, BOS leads series 2-1

    Outside of game 1, we have been all perimeter. Not skating hard, not retrieving pucks. Rask and Rinne are ridiculously similar... I hate to say it but the Wings aren't giving me anything that says otherwise.
