WCF GAME 4 GDT: Red Wings 2 at Penguins 4

[WingZNut13 99]

We have no heart! We are missing the heart that the Red Wings always play with. Babs need to find the heart that is missing and shock. The Wings can still win this game but it is going to take a huge turn around of the D

[solnyshko 8]

We're still winning the Cup, guys! CALM DOWN!! Let them have their (very) shotty games. We had a few against Anaheim. Let em play poorly.. rest up.. and come out FIRED UP in Detroit so the Pens don't even know what HIT them. Let Dats rest some more so he will be even more of a firecracker when he comes out. It'll be OKAY.

[Guest mindfly]

Thank you wings PP for showing up!

Thank you rafalski for being such a great defenseman

Thank you detroit for showing so much heart and determination

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Get Hossa off Flip's line. At least Filppula is TRYING. I honestly couldn't say the same for Hossa. What a worthless...

[Probie 7]

Money save by Osgood at the buzzer

[Snazzy 0]

I have not seen Detroit make so many mistakes since regular season. The absolutely did not show up tonight. Pathetic that they don't feel like playing tonight

[FLWINGSFAN4013 5]

I am surprised abdelkader is not playing

[aflac9262 211]

Perhaps it's time to bench Hossa?

[RedWingNut78 0]

I'd love to know Babcock's reasons why he took Abdelkader out. At least he brought some energy to this team while Leinoand Maltby have been invisible

[shoe 165]

Nice save oz

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

It's hard to win a playoff series with Datsyuk, Hossa, Holmstrom and Hudler not in the lineup.

That's a whole top line right there.

Dont' know why we should be surprised.

I honestly don't know whats wrong with these guys at this point. Extreme exhaustion, sickness, apathy (it's starting to look like it). I mean, we have looked severely incompetant a LOT the last 2 games, and it seems like our sticks have cement on them.

We're being out-hussled and out worked.

THEY WANT IT MORE.

It's a long series, and at least we won it last year.

GO WINGS.

They seem lazy, like they are not even trying. Where's the leadership to rally them and keep them falling apart? WTH!

Why didn't Babcock call a time out to calm things down?

[Zack is Great 14]

Jesus, I havn't seen the wings play with such a lack of enthusiasm since.... Well, ever. I honestly don't recall.

[aflac9262 211]

I'd love to know Babcock's reasons why he took Abdelkader out. At least he brought some energy to this team while Leinoand Maltby have been invisible

Especially Maltby. He's the most useless player on the team.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

What is going on with Hossa? Did his Mom or girlfriend put spoiled mayonnaise in the treska?

the answer is simple.

Until he proves me wrong, he has no intestinal fortitude.

[ShanahanMan 473]

If only we didn't get that PP

[Matt 1,048]

What a pathetic period.

If there was any evidence of who wants this game more, you saw it in that period. What an absolute comedy of errors and idiocy on the ice.

A half-assed effort defensively. It appears that the players' brains have already flown back for Game 5, because they sure weren't using them in the second period.

Disgraceful.

[Datsyerberger 279]

I think it's rather obvious that the refs are going very easy on the rough play. This isn't a bad thing.. if you take advantage of it. Whether it's Bylsma or the players on the Pens roster, they certainly have.

The Wings, on the other hand, just.. aren't. They need to start cracking heads a bit, shoving down guys in front of the net, landing hits even if they're a little late, bumping guys in the slot.

Seriously, have you seen any penalties called on a late hit or interference in the slot this series? The Wings need to take advantage of this instead of being the victim.

[FLWINGSFAN4013 5]

Ok Hossa if you want your cup right now, here is where it begins now.

[zata20 4]

The Next 20 minutes would be a good time for Hossa to get those 2 goals.

[RedWingNut78 0]

We're still winning the Cup, guys! CALM DOWN!! Let them have their (very) shotty games. We had a few against Anaheim. Let em play poorly.. rest up.. and come out FIRED UP in Detroit so the Pens don't even know what HIT them. Let Dats rest some more so he will be even more of a firecracker when he comes out. It'll be OKAY.

Well at least the glass is half full for someone !!

Why didn't Babcock call a time out to calm things down?

He did already call a time-out, likely when it was 3-2 Penguins.

1) I'm tired of seeing Malkin on a breakaway.

2) I'm tired of seeing 3 on 2s in our zone.

3) I'm tired of seeing Wings players remain oblivious to poke checks.

4) I'm tired of the WIgns passing the puck into each other skates.

5) I'm tired of the Wings shooting from the outside.

6) I'm tired of the WIngs trying to pass pretty right through all five Pittsburgh players.

7) I'm tired of seeing Kronwall f*** up and not keep the puck from going all the way to open ice for a Pittsburgh player to carry.

8) I'm tired of seeing Homer be useless.

This, coming from a fan who almost never calls out individual players (unless you are Kopecky). I'm so frustrated. I'm an eternal optimist but I have a bad feeling, watching the Pens perform the past few games, that if we lose tonight, we won't win again this series, let alone win the Cup... The WIngs need to play like they want it and stop trying to be pretty.

He had problems playing on the wing I think is the reason

[tdinc 45]

Still 20 min to play. Wings can still Win this. Big odds but they played games like this before. sloppy crappy then they show up and blast in goals.

GO WINGS!!!! still Keeping the cup!!
