[Rhah 195]

Sorry, I am late to the thread. But was I the only person who saw Killorn hit Zetterberg in the head really early in the game? A couple guys looked pissed but Z was calm as ever and just skated away.

[Echolalia 2,961]

What a difference a couple guys added to the lineup can make. It was like a whole new team was out there playing.

[matthewdanna 143]

Abby made his presence felt.

Petr has taken the reigns.

Defense stood up.

Awesome game!

[VM1138 1,921]

Petr is the real deal.

Let's hope he can put together two strong games in a row this time. If the Wings win the next game they will be sitting pretty.

I've been able to watch game 1 and 3 but missed the second. You guys want to do my homework to make sure I watch the next?

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

SUCK IT!!!

*pats butts*

Where were the cats saying it would be done in 5, huh? 'Cause there's only one way this is done in 5 now, baby!

I said that and am sticking to it!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Someone got a nice goalie stick tonight.

[canadian wings fan 305]

Best Wings playoff game since 2013!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I'll take a win anyway I can get it.

That said, I think we're very fortunate to be leading this series. We got badly outplayed in game 1 and tonight, Tampa's shooters couldn't hit water from a boat. Stamkos doesn't look anything like one of the best players in the world.

We still need to pick up our play. But the effort was way better.

And Babcock for once made a good lineup choice and benched Howard for Mrazek when this series started. There's no way we'd still be up 2-1 with that sieve in net.

[Yzerfan87 146]

You know what's awesome? Tampa hasn't scored on Mrazek in Detroit in 120 minutes now, since he shut them out here on the regular season.

[wings87 1,290]

I'm a little saddened that Mrazek had to go get his own puck.

I'm a little sad the girl put on a jacket.

[KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 426]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

But gotta do it again a few more times

[Barrie 900]

Great game! It was great having Abdelkader and Smith back, they bring a lot of grit and energy.

[greenrebellion 415]

I liked Smith's game tonight.

Team effort

[chaps80 1,591]

Congrats to Mrazek on the shutout. Did Howard even congratulate him on it? If he did I missed it.

[gcom007 1,465]

I have way more hope after this game and Mrazek really seems to be answering the call. If they can keep building on their efforts like tonight's, we're back to being a team capable of making a run.

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Hard to dislike anything about this game tonight. Except the penaltys of course.

[LeftWinger 4,951]

Very happy for the team, and especially Mrazek. I've always supported him to become the #1 guy, and he is taking it, just like I hoped! Lets hope he keeps the great play going on Thursday!

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

SpecialTeam effort

Here, FIFY.

But honestly, our PK and Mrazek were huge tonight. Let's hope it gets into Tampas heads.

I'm a little sad the girl put on a jacket.

If her boyfriend is a lgwer, sorry broham.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

Shutout for petr f***en mrazek and a 2-1 series lead baby!

Go wings!!

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

You know what's awesome? Tampa hasn't scored on Mrazek in Detroit in 120 minutes now, since he shut them out here on the regular season.

I feel like we should stop talking about this, and hope it continues.

[Nevermind 363]

Good effort tonight. Need more of the same Thursday but with hopefully even more play in their zone.

[LeftWinger 4,951]

Problem is now, if Petr continued and proves he deserves the #1 spot next season, what do we do with Howard? Can't have a $5M backup....
