He had better NOT be back after this crap.

The Wings don't have the best team in the NHL. If the Pens win the Cup, they have the best team in the playoffs and the Sharks were the best regular season team. And things won't change. Let's hope Babs doesn't do his "it's a veteran team, let them play through it" s***. Now is NOT the time.

and please stop saying there is no way the Pens can win 4 out of 5 from the Wings anymore. They absolutely CAN. Hopefully they won't, but they definitely CAN win 4 out of 5 given efforts like tonight.

who cares? McCreary wasn't the problem tonight. An entire team playing without a manhood was the problem. in droves.

if this Wings organization thinks it can keep Hossa after the s*** he's put in his this playoff season it'll be probably the WORST decision they've made in a LONG time. There is no way this guy deserver 7.4m and there is no way this guy is going to take over this series or anything like that. It's over for him in Detroit. he came here to win a championship and he's playing like a pansy.

It's a back-handed compliment, but I get the feeling Malkin just sealed the Conn Smythe tonight.

you forgot Hossa And Big E.

It's the playoffs. EVERY game is a must win, I don't give a f*** if they are up 3-0 with a 5 goal lead in the 3rd period of game 4. Keep on the gas. Screw this pansy ass "They didn't have to win this game" s***. ******* go out every game like it's game 7. Pittsburgh certainly has.

No I'm not going to cool down anytime soon, although I will hit the bed here. Someone has to be pissed off. Might as well be me. Sure as hell no one in that damned locker room even cares from what we saw tonight. I'll be pissed like all of them SHOULD BE. I can certainly be proven wrong, but I don't think I will.

And his team is 2 more pathetic performances like this from the Wings from raising the Cup. Let him act like an ass, after all, it isn't like the Wings are going to do anything to stop it anytime soon.

He's not coming back. I get the feeling that if this was the regular season he wouldn't even be skating right now. Hell the only reason I think he even took the pre-game skate was due to the "trickiness" factor as you put it.

This team better play like they have a ******* pair of balls next game. This was absolutely pathetic. There are only about 50 million hockey fans in the US and Canada that would give their left and right nuts, their first born and maybe even their lives to play in a game like this and these ******* numbnuts turned in a performance like THIS? Give me a break. This wasn't just a breakdown of the team's mental balance, this was a LEADERSHIP PROBLEM. Babs and Lids need to fix this NOW or this series won't get past game 6.

Soon to be 3 given how well they've kept the puck tonight.

No excuses sure, but there are some pretty disturbing patterns emerging here.

why the f*** did they pull the goalie?

Fil > Hossa Abdelkader > Hossa Helm >>>>>>>>>>>> Hossa Seriously, next game they should sit Hossa and dress McCarty just for fun. Because obviously either this team has put WAYYY too much pressure on itself OR they just dont' give a f***. McCarty cares, trust me.

has hudler even played this series? If he has, he's been completely invisible. Can't wait until he's gone this summer with Sammy and (hopefully) hossa too.

give it to Flower, even when the Wings get a somewhat decent shot, he's been stopping them. He hasn't seen a ton of decent shots, but he's stopped pretty much each one.

come on you ******* ballllesss wonders, act like you have a pair swinging at least. This effort is pathetic. Is Joe Thornton on this team? really? This is horrible. so much for the much vaunted "veteran presence" the Wings have. It looks more like the tired old men are getting run by a bunch of younger, hungrier kids here. Let's hope that doesn't continue into game 5, because game 4 is done.

let's remember they had a ton of chances in game 3 and coudln't get the puck home. They had a ton of chances against Anaheim and it didn't happen there really either. And this same pattern has happened in various first rounds over the years too. tons of chances but all get stopped. It doesn't help that the special teams are AHL level in quality right now at best and that this team plays no defense at any time.

Not happening. And yes Hossa sucks.

No reason to even bring up the reffing tonight. I don't care what they miss at this point for the first game this series, the reffing has played absolutely no part in the result of the actual game.

game 6 against Anaheim.

I wonder if they'll score more than 2 or 3 goals the rest of the series. this is the best offense in the league? no ******* way. Pittsburgh is doing their part, but Detroit looks tired/listless/balless/gutless right now.

And then get suspended. No. But seriously it's time to think about giving Z the rest of the night off.
