[Reilly 24]

[puckloo39 5,686]

Mule you are my hero!

[Jedi 1,865]

'STEIN!!!!!!!

[Statts 4]

Alright

Im calling Homer out... he ties the game

close enough

[Aussie_Wing 354]

FRANZEN!!!!!!! I told you, well I said he'd get the GWG but that was when it was 3-3.

He could still get it.

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

PP, delay of game!

These are the penalties where people look at the box score and think the reffing was not so bad. Like that Cal. game the refs did not want to call a damn penalty, probably because the falmes took so many delay of games.

[Doggy 130]

We so didn't deserve that. But whatever. Another unjust result and the Wings learn nothing.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

Wow. Go figure. OT.

[Wingsallwin 0]

OT is coming one point in the pocket lets get one more

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

One person has "blamed" McLellan. And NO ONE has said it rests all on McLellan's shoulders. Whereas you have been the one saying the Wings will shake out of this thing after a few games. Maybe you should get a grip on the fact that roster talent or not, this team doesn't have what it takes unless changes are made.

First and foremost....you must be confusing me with someone else becuae I most certainly have not been saying it will "shake out". All I've been saying is that those blaming the defensive problems on McLellan's departure have nothing ot do with the actual happening. The fact of the matter is this Red Wings team has not played with the hunger (and especially the forecheck) that it did last season.

Where did you come up with this last statement? It's completely off-base.

[Namingway 146]

Ahahahahaha

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

WE MIGHT not have deserved it...but we also DID deserve AT LEAST 3-4 more PP....2 of them in the last 5 min of the game

[sureWhyNot 19]

Huge goal - Hossa and mule executed that bad boy to a tee, whiteboard in the lockerroom style.

That said, losing McClellan hurt big time. Is it the reason for 100% of our issues, of course not -- But did it hurt? Yes, without a doubt.

[Sound-Chaser 3]

Holy poop

[kelli 0]

YESSS!!! I love you Franzen!

[barabbas16 499]

Well, Fraser tried his damndest to hand this game over to the Coyotes on a fricking silver platter.

[EuroTwinLove40 0]

1. I love Johan Franzen.

2. What the HELL is with the officiating in this game!? Absolutely awful.

3. Is there seriously ******* TOYOTA seat covers on the emptry seats behind the WINGS bench!? f*** THAT!

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

My question: how did the phoenix player miss such an empty net at the end of the game?

[ComradeWasabi 109]

I'm sure we do not deserve to win this game, but I'll take a point.

[ZETTERBERGPWN 2]

big hit cleary

[Z and D for the C 712]

Why the f*** can't I get the online feed to work

yes! re: Mule's goal.

McClellan is a good coach, as evidenced by the way the Sharks have responded to him. That said, I think they will fade as the season goes on. I think the work ethic is lagging in Detroit, and players need to step up and be responsible. I haven't really seen that from some of them this season.

Deny all you want, but I believe he was a strong part of our team and you seem to be just completely undermining his role. You don't believe he was significant, and I do. Simple as that. As I said, there are other factors as well, such as the team mentality and drive, but I also believe McCllean was big piece of our team.
