GDT 4/9 GDT - Red Wings 3 @ Pens 4 (SO). Wings clinch playoff spot!

[LeftWinger 4,953]

Franzen is useless. What the hell is he doing on the ice?

When's the last time we played a goalie who just laid a dud

Eddie Olczyk is the worst thing that ever happened to professional sports broadcasting.

It makes the victory all the sweeter though

[wings87 1,290]

Pav isn't up to game speed yet, Feanzen is terrible right now, and Abby is playing like a guy half his size. That top line is a mess.

Let's settle down on the senseless Legwand bashing post after post, opinions have been made well known, repeating it in a different context over and over gets old.

No one is forcing you to read it

Probably Schneider in the Devils game but usually goalies show up against the Red Wings.

Exactly. The best way to get pav up to speed is to play him with the kids.

Yep, I want him with Gus, and Tatar with Jurco.

Are you kidding me? So now people who are beyond tired of looking at the mushy corpse of the long dead horse that is the Legwand/Jarnkrok trade are supposed to...not read the game day thread...and not read the Yzerman thread...and not read the LGW boards?! ENOUGH. This passed ridiculous a long time ago.

We get it... You don't need to say the same thing every post you make.

[greenrebellion 415]

Must get a point! Would be nice not to have to push our top guys too hard in the final two games.

[Ally 448]

Couldn't tune in until now. Save me time reading the whole thread, how have we looked?

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

That looked painful.

Good except our pk

Good overall I think. We've dominated 5 on 5, but their PP has put it in our ass. Need to stay out of the box.

If you prefer I can post the string of rules about posting constructively and whatnot, and not to post "X player sucks" 5-6 times in a row with different wording, but I figure most of you should know the rules by now and a simple post from a mod stating knock it off and move on was enough without being questioned. Anything further regarding this topic can be discussed in the Legwand trade thread as it has been since the trade happened.

No need for this to be discussed further, back to the game and the ongoing 3rd period.

Wings have outplayed them for the most part...2 PPG's for Pittsburgh is why it is tied up

I believe its called skating.

It's an under hyped, but very important part of playing ice hockey.

How do you think hes doing, btw?

So, I'm a little out of it for the past few days, one point gets us in, locked in?

Yes, Doc just enlightened me. Thank you Doc.

To be fair, he hasn't delivered in the playoffs for about four years now either. That was always his fallback for disappearing for long stretches during the regular season. Sad thing is, up until about three weeks ago, Franzen was very engaged throughout this season when healthy. Now, he's back to being a non-factor.

Yep, one point secures us a spot in the playoffs.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Let's go boys and get at least that one point tonight.

[gowings00 545]

Not even seeing glimpses of the real Datsyuk in this game.
