Did you guys see that pass by sammy? WTF was that ?!

[Jedi 1,865]

Too many passes. Too many times we're trying to be cute with the puck.

I'd like to get one in on Khabibulin, but I'll settle for getting this game over with injury free.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

It's painfully obvious that none of the Wings really cares about this game. Just dump it in and avoid injuries for the rest of the game and it's a win for us.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Wow, that was a world-class ramble by Eddie O. What the hell was he talking about?

[EuroTwin 240]

Oh my god,

SHUTOUT.

SHUTOUT.

Come on boys!

break that SHUTOUT.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

My favorite part of the broadcast was when Pierre was proclaiming that the Hawks have closed the gap with the Wings since the Winter Classic.

Ok, they've closed the gap when we rest some of our best players

[EuroTwin 240]

Well that was annoying.

[55fan 5,133]

Well, folks, it's been real. It's been fun. See you in the real season!

[Yzermania 156]

so, now the season begins.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Mercifully, the regular season has ended.

[Guest MrSandMan]

Hawks celebrate like they just won the cup. LMAO!!!!

Hey, Chicago, you're team didn't win s***...haha

[dat's sick 1,002]

Great game! Wooo!

Bring on the playoffs!

[Casey 145]

Bring on the playoffs. They'll be fine.

Hossa, yes. And.... ?

Draper? You mean just today, right?

Lilja is out for the playoffs, I believe. I don't count him anymore as a possible factor in the playoffs. If he gets back, he will be about as useful as Derian Hatcher was on D.

[Guest MrSandMan]

Red Wings are still clearly the better team. Now Chicago will learn what real hockey is now that the playoffs will start. I doubt they'll beat the Flames.

Come on, I'll admit obvivously hos and lids would make a hige difference, but chicago beat us. A solidly. We got a lot of shots, but not a lot of chances. Kinda remind me of first round vs. Edmonton a few years ago. We have to find a wayto break through these tight defences.

Not a big deal it was a meaningless game and it showed as far as the Wings are concerned. Props to the Hawks though for playing great.

Now onto the real deal!

[TheOwl 77]

Detroit will lose in 5 games in round one. You heard it here first.

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

Real season begins on Wed.

Hopefully St. Louis wins today and then Anaheim and San Jose can beat the crap out of each other in the first round.

You don't consider Lidstrom one of our best players?

[SiLkK19 67]

Ok now they can start playin for real =)

SWEET!! Love the positivity.

[puckloo39 5,686]

You don't consider Lidstrom one of our best players?

I do. But all I've heard in here this year is what a liability he's been. I don't believe that, just pointing out the fact that he's normally being blamed for turnovers and not doing his job by the fans.

So, I would have thought the Wings would have been happy to have him out today.

[adtthosa 5]

It's weird how we just had a season of 50+ wins and the only games I remember are the losses. Doesn't it seem like there's no way we could have had 50 wins?

Well, no more excuses. Next week we find out what this team is really made of. I can't wait. I hope we start Thursday because I am working Wednesday night.

I'll remember this. I'll give you credit if you're right. If you're wrong, I'll rub it in your face. Just sayin'.
