[brandon27 111]

Like I said the sooner we become less swedish the better, god these guys never take the puck to the net rarely hit and don't like to shoot the puck, it's crazy How Z is only good when the team is good i'm sorry but this ridiculous I have lowered my expectations for this team i'm ready for the rebuild.

Agreed. We're gettin beat by speed and grit. Consistently. We lack that. Consistently. We have the odd guy, but for the most part its alot of passing and waiting to try and create a sexy opportunity, rather than just outmanning the other team and creating your own opportunities.

Z need a legitimate winger, Nyquist is god awful, the only goal he scored this series came from a wide open net.

Z is garbage right now. He couldn't make any winger look good. But yes, Nyquist is awful.

[Y19 2,488]

Zids was an absolute joke tonight

Yeah, his shovel cleavage was on full display tonight. Get'em in game 7!

Z carried this team for years gtfo. He should be the last one ANYONE complains about.

Alright, got to win game 7 then. They didn't outplay us today, but maybe they outworked us, especially in the third. Bounce back and do what we did in games 3 and 5. It's not that the Wings didn't do it before. LGW !

[Fonzarelli 73]

Please do resign. Don't re-sign.

you are correct. Must be a teacher.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Gotta protect home ice better than that. Just a lousy effort defensively. For the fifth consecutive year, Holland has to do something major on defense.

The odds of winning a third time in Tampa aren't very good. This series should have been over by now.

Yeah, it's a shame this team continues to stink it up at home like this. Did the same crap against Boston last year losing both games at home.

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

Hope to god we play like we did in game five if not it's over, Stamkos is hungry it's game 7 and he has no goals yet? god i'm not prepared to watch that game.

[aflac9262 211]

The Wings seem cursed in clinching games at home.

[Hairy Lime 234]

Well, if this trend of trading wins continues, we should be alright, right...

[kickazz 5,459]

Z is garbage right now. He couldn't make any winger look good. But yes, Nyquist is awful.

I don't want him to make any winger look good. I want it the other way around. I want a winger that can complement his slow speed but make use of his passes.

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

At least Peter is like 99% Save Percentage after a loss. We should win...

he was tonight to the team was just garbage.

[Number19 159]

Damn you, Matthew Stafford

I wish we had Garret Stafford instead of the clown show on our defense.

[GoWings! 179]

That 2-0 lead in Game 4 with 5 minutes to go was a deplorable choke job that really let Tampa back in the series and now they get their Game 7 at home. What a joke. I'd put Glendening on a higher line than Zetterberg or Nyquist. Man did those guys disappear. Not even 1 goal from the captain in all these games?

[gcom007 1,465]

Well, in his defense, it's not his roster. Ken Holland is buying the groceries. There's not much there to work with, especially on the back end.

Defense has been lacking for years and that's where the majority of our problems are at this point. I've said it a million times it seems like, but I can understand Holland struggling to bring in an elite defenseman. That's tough. I don't fault him really for not landing one because they don't grow on trees and they're tougher than ever to sign. But that he hasn't been able to make more improvements on some level after too many years now via trade or free agency is just sad.

I think it's incredible what Babcock's been able to accomplish with these teams these last few years. If anything, I don't think he gets enough credit for what he's accomplished given how lacking we are on defense in particular.

From whom? They have no fans.

From everywhere, they are universally considered a better team. Which puts the pressure on them.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Well, on the bright side, at least we didn't blow a home ice lead with a chance to advance like Chicago in 13. Still a chance, anything can happen in Game 7, but win or lose we have to improve the back end in the off-season. We literally gave Tampa nothing tonight, but when we did, breakaways and odd man rushes. Good teams don't do it, we didn't do it 6 or so years ago...

[Barrie 900]

I wonder when CBC became the Tampa Bay Lightning Network? They wouldn't shut up about Stamkos and the Lightning. If we play the Habs next round, I'll watch the games online. CBC's hockey coverage has been a joke for years. My fellow Canadians must have an inferiority complex when it comes to America and the successful European players, because Canadian media never shuts up about talking about everything Canadian

[MTU_Huskies963 398]

Can we bring up pulky just for someone that shoots the puck? It's crazy that no one on this team can one time. That is Bishop's weakness he is not quick side to side

[Hairy Lime 234]

when u let in 3 goals in the first you sort of make it harder on yourself

They only let in 2 goals in the 1st. Then another 3 the rest of the game.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

I wish we had Garret Stafford instead of the clown show on our defense.

GREAT former garbage GR call-up Wing reference. We need Josh Langfeld in Game 7 on Z's wing.

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

Z carried this team for years gtfo. He should be the last one ANYONE complains about.

He carried us for years to what? Lidstrom carried us for years. Z has done nothing as a captain of this team, i'm not saying he's had much help but come on this series is a great example of whats happened since 5 retired, Datsyuk has been amazing and carried, meanwhile Z has just lost his legs and Scoring touch, Great player but he definitely shouldn't be playing center anymore, should be our 2nd line LW but we have no depth.

[Rhah 195]

Meh Tyler Johnson only one beating the Wings. He single handedly win both games at the Joe.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Horrible horrible game by Z, Nyquist and Zids.
