The Wings shooters couldn't hit the house if they were standing in it, made even worse by Rinne being a beast. On the other hand, sloppy bounces or not, you goaltender needs to give you one damn save. The real final score is 4-1, lest we not forget the goal-line shot Howard let trickle in before the refs confused Jimmy's intent to blow with their own.

Our Team D is af****** joke.

thats the way of the series and of this team in the last 3 years.

You dont win without D, and this team abandoned that after 08. Is it Babs, Lids being old or whatever: this team is a digrace on D. And thats the truth.

this isn't a knee jerk reaction, I've said it for a while: we need to do some serious rebuilding and soon. we need to get younger and bigger. This starts with giving youngsters a chance, we already have a full cupboard of prospects its time to promote and trade some to make this team a contender. franzen and or fil can be traded this offseason imo, if it means we get a legitimate goal scorer all year round. Nash would be an option if we can't grab Parise. Simply we can't make it out of the first round. We need size and scoring. Smith and Nyquist need to be up full time next season and we need to sign a few more guys to grand rapids. Then seriously consider a blockbuster move.

Flippula has been useless all series, Franzen looked like he was trying but their offense has no system or style all they do is hang on to it along the perimeter... I think coaching and flippula need to be moved... Flippula is good and all just not a top six forward on a Stanley cup winning team. He will never have as much value as he does right now

I don't know what Flip's problem is.

He had his best season ever and has been good in the playoffs before. All of a sudden, he's having a terrible playoff in this of all seasons.

WTF?

[Nightfall]

It's a really awesome feeling to know that out of 11 Preds goals, 9 of them took ZERO skill. The series isn't over, but it's clear which team spent more time collecting lucky charms, and which one was grinding on the ice day in and day out.

I have to agree here.

Not that I think that Rinne hasn't been awesome, because he has. He has had to be great for the Preds to win each of their games. The Wings haven't had the puck luck or a fully healthy squad that is needed to win the cup. Its just too bad that it looks like they will be ousted in the 1st round unless something changes. I have faith in the Wings though.

This guy makes my day, it's been a s***ty day many reasons so thank you

[Yzerfan1999]

Jimmy howard is fine.

No. I don't think he is. Legwand's goals (yes, both of them even though the first was waved off) were HORRIBLY weak, and Nashville's second goal was one of the worst cases of over committing on a puck i've ever seen. Forgivable a couple years ago, but Howard's got to start stealing games for the Wings. I think he has the talent, but he isn't showing the consistency.

[Winged Wheel]

Show 'em at the box office next season. Get rid of Holland. Get rid of Babcock. Two imposters along with a half dozen or so marginal players. Illitch will get the message. Offer Bowman or Yzerman the world to unf*** this entire organization.

Juckf****** Pott!

bla bla bla what a swid can say ??????????ask MULE what he brought to the team in this palyoff.

[Crymson]

In the end, there's just no scoring depth. Miller and Eaves can score, but Eaves is out and Miller is playing on a line centered by Abdelkader. Abdelkader is effective as a winger but ineffective as a center. Nyquist is not yet big enough or experienced enough to make an impact. Holmstrom and Emmerton are generally ineffective; neither can really check or score. It's a shame that Helm is out, but really he's had the quality of a 4th-line center this season; he's not an effective scorer. And so on.

Rinne has been excellent, as has the defense for the Predators. The big guns for the Wings have been inexplicably silent. This may be the combination of the aforementioned factors. Tough to say.

Big difference between mad, like I am, and quitting.

LOL, this place is awesome !

[cnot19]

I dont see much positive about this postseason, besides Ericsson. Hes looked very good out there, taking the body, taking hits to make plays, and not turning anything over. Hes had some offensive chances as well, hopefully he can start to convert on some of those.

[Hockeytown0001]

[Firehawk]

What a dejecting feeling. All this talent and they can't muster more than 1 goal in a must win game.

You have to give the preds all the credit. All night they were SOLID defensively. They didn't even need Rinne to stand on his head. Most of the shots he stopped were easy saves, and we couldn't bury rebounds. Very very frustrating.

Howard isn't the problem, we can't score more than 1 goal or 2 goals a game. It's ridiculous.

I'm frustrated with the complete defensive breakdown on that game winner, where 3 players went for Kline INCLUDING howard. Howard looked stupid on that play. But whatever.

I'm tired of hearing the wings 'try to stay positive'. WIN THE DAMN GAME, stop talking!

Whatever. We need some size and we need SPEED. We have all the talent in the world, but we're too slow and the punishment in the playoffs wears us down.

So frustrating

Who cares if people quit? Quit trying to police people's emotions.

Lids has to go, he can't be demanding that kind of money at the level he is at. All good things come to end. I am grateful to see him play in my time, and even more grateful that he was on our team. I hope they do win game 5 so I can, maybe see his last game at the joe.

You are a f***in idiot. Do you even watch this team on a regular basis. I bet you were saying that about Datsyuk too before the '08 Cup win. Get off the wagon already you ******.
