ECQF Game 4 GDT : Lightning 3 at Red Wings 2 (OT) - Series Tied 2-2

Man, it's hockey. If Lukes out, someone else has to step up. Simple as that.

You got it. Stuff like this happens all the time. It's a shame but that's the nature of the sport. Just need someone else to step up like you say. Can't win a series with a 1 man show.

If you said with Jonathan Ericsson on the top pair I may have agreed with you. He definitely shouldn't be there.

I said this two games ago and all last year.. its sad. If by some miracle we win this series Montreal will bury us.. we have no consistent scoring. Datsyuk can't hold the fort by himself. Zettersberg is not on his game and to be honest to many slip ups for his style. If Darren Helm could shoot the puck accurate he would be amazing he's always wide of the net and can beat anyone down the ice He is a true playmaker but just isn't a scoring material. Abby is busting his butt and huge game changer out there on the ice but because of the hand injury is handicapped and can't wrist shot he had several great attempts tonight not his fault his hand is messed up. Mrazek played well I thought but some weak goals if he was watching the passing and reading the play 2 goals could have been prevented. Tyler Johnson is the guy to watch Stamkos is not in the zone thank god for that. Don't get me wrong I want the wings to bury these guys but the hard fact is Montreal is going to be unleashed on us and thats going to be a completely different game Mrazek will need to be flawless to help the team.

Glendening injured his thumb. Says he'll be back for Game 5

Best news of the night at this point. I don't believe we'd stand a chance without him. He's too important to shutting down their offense at this point. If he was out, I was throwing in the towel on this series. We might still have a fighting chance now.

It's funny. 10 years ago, I'd be furious about this loss. Right now, I realize that we suck and deserve to lose for the way we finished the game. Because it wasn't undeserved, it somehow feels better or more appropriate shall we say.

Yup. I feel like the Wings got away with alot, too. They really need to clean up their play. As we know, the refs in Tampa won't be as nice.

The series is tied. They're not done yet. Nashville. Pittsburgh and Vancouver are on the brink of elimination, and the Jets are done. They're better off than them right now. Yeah, was a real s***ty way to lose, but how many thought they'd even get this far after the way they ended the regular season? It's anyone's series still!!

******* E blew it man i say scratch him for x man or Marchenko who cares that was god awful let them walk right in the slot for both goals you big *****.

Ericsson for sure scratched I am hardly convinced Hank should be out there he looks lost not sure what is going on with him but hes way off his game lately. He caused to bad penalties tonight as well.

None of those teams choked a game the way the Wings did, though. But yes, you're right. The series is still on. If this were an elimination game, then it would suck, because we'd have the entire offseason to think about it. What happens from now on depends on the Wings. It shouldn't depend on this game.

Mrarzek should have had that first goal. He saves that bad angle short side shot then we win 2-0.... no chance on the other goals. It's infuriating that our "top pairing" is the most easily rattled players we have on the team. DD and Q are pretty much better at every facet of defense. What do we do with E and Kronner? Locked up long term and pretty much keep our defense stagnant at mediocrity unless we upgrade so much they're on the 3rd pairing

Nashville blew a 3-0 lead and then lost in 2OT in game 1.. and blew a lead and lost in 3OT 2 nights ago

I feel like a lot of us have been saying that since #5 retired.

Yeah and I get trading for a n1 D is easier said than done. It's just you look at the lineup card and it's the worst D corps we've had since the 80s. I'm happy with the forward turnover the last couple seasons but there's only so many seasons of Smith, E, and Quincy a fan can take.. Edited by Number19
