GDT ADQF | Game 3 | Boston 3 @ Detroit 0, BOS leads series 2-1

[Dabura 12,207]

Horribly embarrassing. I don't think I've ever seen the Wings play this badly. Stupid is the only word. No-look passes, terrible goaltending, bad decisions.

I hope the boos don't mess with the minds of the rookies who were all amped up before the game started. They need to be resilient. But holy hell this is bad.

Sure didn't play like they were amped up.

That was awful. Absolutely awful. Nothing is clicking. Nothing.

I still can't believe not one of those 5 ******* goons realized there was going to be trouble.

I'd be elbowing Euros too if I knew that nobody on the other team would do anything about it.

If the other team had McGrattan, I probably wouldn't be elbowing anyone.

If we continue to get outworked and physically overmatched by Boston, maybe Ken will realize that we need some physicality on the roster. Guys like Andersson are completely useless.

[Firehawk 305]

April fools...ok the real game will start now.

That was so bad i seriously feel like i was punked. There is no way we should have been credited with any quality chances.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

There is a man who can help us. A man without whom we haven't won a playoff series since 2004.

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Howard did his job stopping the breakaway. In that situation the goalie's first thought isn't "where is the rebound going to go", it's make the save and prevent a goal. If you have competent defenders in front of you, the rebound is cleaned up or any bodies in front are taken out of the play.

That was the fault of Lashoff and Kindl playing like dumbasses, Kindl LITERALLY just stood next to the net and watched it happen.

The goal was the fault of a bad line change and awful defense by the horrible 3rd pairing. This goal alone, and not reflecting his performance in game 2, was not Howard's fault.

When the home crowd "Boo's" the team....that's sad. (Wings get your asses moving for the 2nd....ah please!)

[Dabura 12,207]

Could be worse, we could be Tampa.

I was gonna say that. But then, at least they're scoring some goals.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Franzen will be 35 next year. The young guys aren't playing well now, but look at the leaders they have in front of them. These youngsters at least have upside.

Franzen won't become better in the future, nor will he magically play harder after turning 35. He needs to be moved, even though his stock is very low now.

Franzen for McGrattan?

[SimonSin 192]

Could be worse, we could be Tampa.

If it wasn't for that apparent "flu bug" that hit Boston we could be Tampa right about now.

[barabbas16 499]

Even completely outplayed, all they had to do to still be in the game right now is not be stupid, but apparently they are incapable of accomplishing that.

Stupidity deserves losses and that's exactly what they'll get for it.

[Yzermania 156]

Howard has to stop that first goal...this is the playoffs and thats why he makes the big bucks.

And the second...no reason, he should have given up such a big rebound on a one handed slide of the puck in to his pads.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Mick's angry. At one point he called Ken out for being "too kind" and saying they were just bad.

Yeah, there's no sugar coating when it comes to Mick.

Even Boston guys are in disbelief we are playing this bad. They seem legitimately surprised how bad we've been.

[LeftWinger 4,951]

+1,000,000 for all the Franzen hate!

you want him gone? There's your buyout. Nobody will trade for him.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Franzen for McGrattan?

Throw a case of beer in there and it's a done deal.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

If it wasn't for that apparent "flu bug" that hit Boston we could be Tampa right about now.

Maybe it hit us

[loutswings 47]

Can we now put Franzen on the 3rd line??? Has scored a goal in 2 months!!!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

+1,000,000 for all the Franzen hate!

Edmonton might want some veterans who've won a Cup.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

There is a man who can help us. A man without whom we haven't won a playoff series since 2004.

At least Dano's 50 year old knees would be skating as best he can, competing and being physical. That's the sad part. And really I'd take Dano or Bert over Andersson.

[brandon27 111]

It all boils down to this: Boston is just better. MUCH better.

Exactly. People need to take the homer glasses off, and set their emotions aside. This team at this stage in its growth is nowhere near as good as Boston. Hell, probably half of our lineup tonight started the season in Grand Rapids, and not just started the season there, but likely would have finished it there if its not for all the injuries. Theyre young... its called growing pains, we're not used to it because of the steady line of vets we've rolled through here... its a changing of the guard in Detroit... We're not as good as we like to think, we've been spoiled. It's going to happen all over again though as these kids get more experience, and size, we're going to be that deadly team again, especially up front. On the back end, the D really needs help, it needs a solid vet.

Edmonton probably would.

[wings87 1,290]

May he guide them in the ways of not tripping over their own wieners.

They seem to have been neutered, so little chance of that happening.

[pucktividi 472]

Of all our 6 d men,none can make a proper first pass tonight,absolutely pathetic

[gowings00 545]

2 goals in 7 periods...PP and PK look awful. Jimmy has now had two consecutive horrible games. Radical changes are needed now.

The good thing is that even if we lose, we're only down 1 game.
