WCQF Game 3 GDT: Coyotes 4 at Red Wings 2

[hankzet40 233]

I guess we'll see on Tuesday how bad Detroit wants this series because they sure as s*** didn't want it today. Made their third liners look like superstars and Howard lets in an absolute back breaker.

Well, I hope the Wings feel worse about this one than we do. Because I know I feel pretty bad about it.

[sherwood40 16]

Howard is giving up goals every where, can he stop anything? How long do we stay woth a goalie giving up 4 goals a game in the playoffs and think we can even move to the next round. I am still sticking with Ozzie, we need him in, he knows what it takes.

Phoenix was just better

[Guest Crymson]

This wasn't a good game. That said, we went down 1-2 against Anaheim last playoff season and we won.

Some of you are downright pathetic. If you're so quick to insult and disrespect the players whenever they don't win, then you should consider either finding yourself a different team to root for or solving some of your personal problems.

I'm confident they'll come back to win.

Red wings theme for this playoffs

"No excuses"

Errr right....

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

This really reminds me of the '06 Edmonton series.

Detroit being outworked by a less talented team.

Their goalie miraculous.

Our goalie...mediocore at best...

lol miraculous? hardly. i started watchin the game in the 2nd but the only time we had great chances were in the final minute of the 3rd.

[FUUFNF 1]

F'ing pathetic 2nd half of the game by the Wings.

Their goalie miraculous.

Our goalie...mediocore at best...

Their team was hungry and hustled the whole game.

Our team....not hungry and not hustling as hard.

Fixed for you

[mjlegend 155]

If Aaron Downey was playing for us, we'd win here with 2 down.

FYP

So, who posts the line changes thread?

BTW, when was the last time Phoenix played on NBC?

[CMatt89 63]

Rafalski, Lidstrom, Kronwall, Franzen and Cleary are my five for the biggest letdowns so far this series. Howard is a rookie, can't blame him for playing like one either. When your defense is awful, a rookie goalie can only do so much, or so little.

A+ for Z, Dats, Bertuzzi, Fil, Abdelkader.

Why is Drew Miller still in the lineup? He's awfully non existent. I mean, at least hit...don't do nothing when your on the ice.

Doan had more of an impact off the ice then our top guys did while on the ice. They picked it up, Detroit got sloppier. Congrats on two strong wins for the Yotes.

[Guest GordieSid&Ted]

Anybody who has watched the Wings with regularity the past 10 years can pretty much tell when they don't have it. For me, the #1 "bad" sign is when they're passing is all over the place and rushed. That's pretty much how it was today. Passes not connecting, passes in feet, passes to places where there's no Red sweater, passes that hit your own players, etc......

I'm sure it's not the case but whenever I notice how bad we're passing, i'd swear we've lost every single time the past 10-15 years.

Why did this team fight to make the playoffs?

Its frustrating I know, if they want to play this s***ty and possibly lose out in the first round, it would be tempting to say screw it, tank, and take a high draft pick. But don't lose the faith yet.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Zetterberg was a beast in the last couple of minutes. If only Bertuzzi wasn't the opposite of clutch.

I'm worried about Howard. He was the big question mark coming into the playoffs and he has not been convincing in any of the 3 games so far. 4th goal tonight was a BIG no-no.

Series is far from over, but obviously the next game is a MUST win.

[VanDer 58]

unable to watch the game so i don't know how we played but I am sooooo disappointed!!

[russianswede919293 95]

Phoenix was just better

They have been for all but about 2 or 3 periods all series.

[Ant Low 18]

yotes just played to hard for us, they really wanted that game and they deserved it. series aint over yet, lets just hope Tuesday we tie it up.

[Aki 0]

I still believe in the Red Wings!

but this game was a pain to watch

[clutchngrab 12]

Uphill battle now. Phoenix will probably win the series because I think they are imposing their game on the wings better than we are imposing our game on them.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Ladies and gentlemen-- Lidstrom was a -3 today. Not good enough.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Hank, Dats, Flip, Eaves you did well.

The rest? Bring more to the table on Tuesday, thanks.

[MotorCityMadness 388]

absolutely pathetic effort, no desire at all and a goaltender who gives up 3 spirit deflating goals on top of it

[In Wings We Trust 6]

I don't think Ozzy has a chance of bailing us out. Too early to make a change I feel, but I don't know . . . I'm nervous with either goalie.

We had home ice tho. Even if we tie it up 2-2 they still have home ice.

I'm afraid the fat lady is warming up
