I wonder if Franzen actually aims to miss the net.

Bert is a great help on the PP. 5 on 5 not at all.

YEAHHHH BOY

Add the fact that he brings nothing else to the table other than scoring and hes a waste.

Well those clamoring for Monster over Jimmy all year get there wish tonight. I dont think they will like the result.

That's the truth right there. Its just easier to put all the blame on a goalie. Sure he had a gaff in game 2 but every player makes a mistake at some point through a game it they have others to save them. Not so with goalies. The problem with the wings is the same thing that's plagued them the last couple years. They rarely can put together a full 60 minute games worth of effort. They either start slow and dig themselves a hole or can't hold a team off in the third. Game 1's effort was the anomaly. Games 2 and 3 are the norm. The team is basically Datsyuk and the kids. The kids are why the Wings are in the playoffs plain and simple. Now they are getting a tough introduction into NHL playoff hockey and are struggling which is expected for young guys. Hopefully the experience makes them better.With Z and Big E the Wings might have had a shot. Without them and every vet not named Datsyuk not pulling there weight for the team the really have no shot. You gotta lose to learn to win. Hopefully the young guys who will be the core from now on are taking notes. Oh and Franzen is s***. If Holland had any cahones he'd get into the dressing room and tell him he either needs to start producing or he will be bought out. Playoffs are supposed to be his time to shine as the regular season bores him. Wings have had to be in playoff mode since the start of March and he's been useless that whole time. Being nicknamed the Mule right now is disrespectful to mules. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Bruins played like a must win. Wings played like they were just happy going home with a split.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Boston also got the wings into the after the whistle stuff. Once you saw that you could tell the wings weren't on today.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Franzen needs to start playing or be bought out. He is not worth the cap hit for the 25 games a season he shows up for. The rest he brings nothing to the team. He can't live off the playoffs anymore as he now has just as many bad ones as he has good. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

I dunno that Rask was much of a difference. Wings got shots but only 2 or 3 good chances all game. Boston was getting chances all game. Rask had any easy afternoon. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Wouldn't count on it. Only consistent thing in Franzens game is that he is invisible 2/3rds of a season and hasn't shown up for the playoffs since 2010 Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Boston has played this game like a must win which it basically was. Wings played it like they were content with a split going home. Plain and simple. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Game 1 says otherwise Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

All valid points. Trying to pin the whole game on him is wrong tho with how the team has played. Hell Boston got 18 shots in the first and the Wings have generated maybe 1 or 2 good chances all game. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

First goal 100%. Trying to put the whole game on him is just idiocy. Very few wings showed up today. Even Dats hasn't been good. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Wings have been the better team or even in 4 of the first 5 periods. Bad first probably doomed this game but coming home you gotta like that. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Your joking right. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Hockey definitely isn't war Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

Would be nice if Franzen would decide to show up sometime soon. Wings have been in playoff mode since the start of March and hes been irrelevant the whole time. Playoffs are supposed to be his time but he hasn't shown up for them since 2010. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

That's the problem. He's not good when wound up Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

And looks where its getting them. That's not the wings game. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

He's the easiest wing to push off his game. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

He did just flub the pass. He then tried to get the Bruins guy stick in a panic so they couldn't break in. The only time Franzen being s*** helps the Wings. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

The only time diving is called is when they can bring the other guy off to making it 4 on 4. You wont get diving out of the game until you only take the diver. If the worse thing that can happen to a player who takes a dive is 4 on 4 hockey they are going to dive all over since the punishment isnt even a slap on the wrist and the chance of getting a PP is great.

Lol two minutes of absolutely nothing relevant being said. Only interesting thing in that video is at 1:49 when you hear a dude say "Stop yelling at me!" and then a girl reply "Ill ******* knock you out". Stay classy Boston.

Another thing you got to look at with Pavs goal. His great pickup of the puck probably prevented the Bruins from breaking in at the blueline 2v2 or possibly 3v2. Terrible pass from Franzen at the blueline that Dats had to save him on.
