That was a crap goal.

I hope his wife is making him change all the poopie diapers. It seems fitting, somehow.

Doubtful. Franzen never goes into the tough areas.

[esteef 2,679]

Preds NEED the pp to have any chance.

[esteef 2,679]

Aaaooooooooo! Doan!

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Oh yeah! Doaner!

[puckloo39 5,686]

I.... remember this. It's how your team responds and answers a goal, when you want to WIN.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Phoenix has now scored the same number of goals in two games against Nashville as the Red Wings did in five.

This is why "we score a lot of goals in the regular season" doesn't mean s***.

I love this! Kinda makes the "hot goaltender" excuse kinda silly doesn't it Wings?

What Phoenix is doeing to the Preds doesn't change anything to what the wings have to do this summer, maybe Rinne was hotter against the Wings, maybe the Coyotes play a different kind of hockey, it doesn't change the fact that the Wings need help.

Good thing nobody is saying that.

Also, I feel dirty cheering for Doan. Lame.

Me too. I'm choosing to embrace the dirt.

It only exemplifies the problem with the Detroit Red Wings roster.

[SaCkaveli20 275]

Lol it's definitely weird cheering for Pheonix.

[esteef 2,679]

The media certainly was. But we all knew it was because the wings just didn't earn it.

It doesn't, but it also further illustrates how badly the Red Wings do have needs. If Nashville/Rinne came out and shut down the Coyotes too then maybe it perpetuates the hot goalie excuse. I want Phoenix to continue to humiliate the Predators -- anything to keep pressing away from the "we like our team" mantra this summer.

Phoenix's best goal-scorer is Radim Vrbata, top point-producer is Ray Whitney at age 63. Yet, they have done the right things to take command of the series with far less talent offensively than the Red Wings threw on the ice.

It doesn't change what the Red Wings need to accomplish, but I do think it really emphasizes how important it is to get serious help at forward.

Phoenix def making us look bad . Was it our coaching or the players not executing?

You crazy.

Also, Radulov is getting ripped by the media right now.

I'm glad. His ass shouldn't even be playing.

[Dirty Dangle 83]

The refs just refuse to call penalties against the Preds here in the 3rd.

[Salviaman 104]

I told you Rinne sucks. Quick is way better!

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

I'm glad. His ass shouldn't even be playing.

Cheers to that.

[puckloo39 5,686]

what I wouldn't have given to see that effort from my Wings. Go, Yoties!!!

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Great game.

[PredsFanTheBayouState 263]

[Salviaman 104]
