Recommended Posts

so what are you saying lol.. I told you i blame Kenny not Z and Stevie and Lidstrom would've been great anywhere and I bet we would've seen the same leadership Stevie had heart and H e always scored and when he realized he couldn't anymore he hung em up

So Zetterberg doesn't have heart? Because I don't know about you but Zetterberg is known around the league and by his teammate to have one of the biggest hearts in the league.

Yzerman scored goals in playoffs when he had a hall of fame roster backing him up. How long have you been a Red Wings fan exactly?

Weren't you the same guy who call for Zetterberg to give up his captaincy and give it to Datsyuk after the game 2 loss. Lol.

Mrazek is going to be incredible, but he is not yet an NHL goalie.

Mrazek is going to learn more from this playoff run than Howard will. If he falls on his face in Game 7 or if he falls short of the cup, he is going to learn a hard lesson and come back and work harder next year. I certainly hope he can keep things rolling this season though.

Well that sucked. First period killed us. Nice goals by Tatar, but our D was brutal tonight.

If we're going to have a shot at winning Game 7, we have to come out playing from the get go. We have to hit, pepper Bishop with tons of shots, and stay out of the box (which we actually did a good job of tonight).

The way I see it, Game 7 goes one of two ways:

1) Wings win a tight one. Getting an empty netter at the end to win by 2.

2) Similar to tonight. Wings fall behind early. Get close, and then lose by a few goals.

Detroit absolutely needs that first goal, get Tampa on their heels and force them to take some more risks, possibly opening them up for odd man rushes.

That isn't true. He definitely had heart, but his last 5 seasons he had less than 20 Goals, most of which he limped around on a bad knee and missed lots of games. Not sure what you were watching

yeah I don't blame Z for the teams issues, look at the roster of this team and any of the cup winners. The team would need every young player to step up and have a coming out party similar to Franzen in 08. Z just needs to play to his level, that's all I ask as a fan. The D isn't good enough anyone can see that. I'd like to lose to a team with a real goalie instead of tampon. I didn't see 2013 as a disappointment. We took the cup winners to the brink, it stung but it wasn't a failure. The Boston series was a failure.

He's just making his Zetterberg hate obvious >.> Yea Zetterberg has sucked this playoffs. But to question his contributions just points out to flat disliking.

This game sealed it for me. Win or lose, doesn't change the fact that this might be the dumbest Wings team in 24 years.

Lol. You actually made me laugh. Thank you, I needed it.

No it doesn't look like he has heart either that or the guys are just not buying it,Why do you keep bringing up those rosters lol? As if Yzerman couldn't of done that on any team they built the team around him, they built the team around Lidstrom.. he finally retired and Kenny is not in any rush to improve our team so now Z is stuck with that, I don't think he was the best guy to be the next captain to this day I still don't understand how Datsyuk wasn't made the captain, i bet he said give it to Z, I don't blame Z for the lack of success but yes I am mad that in the past few years we've had an opportunity to do something and he just hasn't been able to lead this team

Tonight we simply showed the same weaknesses the past few years. Defensive play is not the caliber needed for a deep playoff run. We have one goal from a defensemen and that was an empty netter from DK. I wish we were better equipped for a cup run but we aren't. I think we have plenty of firepower but our defense gives us very little. Most of us that watch every game know that this is the reason we have been so inconsistent. We're gonna need Mrazek to stand on his head in game 7.

I've always thought Dats was the better player and the most important player on this team. He's a leader in so many ways, but for better or for worse, I don't think he ever wanted to be the captain. I could be wrong, but from all that's been said over the years, I just don't think it's his style.

Bad Game, but hey, seems like Mrazek was Jekyll tonight, He'll be Hyde next game and we win. The Wings just do things the hard way. Plus its an odd number, we've won the odd numbers this series, 1, 3, and 5. For what its worth we are hanging tough with a damn good team. I don't agree with the media calling us dirty or cheaters cuz we aren't. I want to win this series to spite those people and coaches in the media. Its playoff hockey every team does what the Wings are blamed for doing. Damn look at the fricking Ducks.

You're whole paragraph just points of opinionated reason rather than facts. And so I'm not going to continue with ignorance.

In reference to "Datsyuk giving the captaincy to Z" Your wrong.

he was hurt but still played he had an excuse.. from what I know Z is perfectly healthy yes he had the back surgery but I guess I just wasn't ready for this in a way i'm really sad, this is the end of an era.. I didn't think it would affect him like this

He isn't healthy, he's missing a piece of his spinal vertebrae in his back. He was treated to just "continue playing" Not to come back rejuvenated.

On what do you base that astute assumption?

I base that on how he's constantly out of position and can't stop a breakaway, along with losing two games for us. Mrazek was not good at all tonight. Yes, he made a crazy save but only because he was, again, out of position.

I'll just go ahead and not respond to your childish remark.

Smarter people than you think he is.

Being a coach or GM doesn't make a person smart. The fact is Mrazek lost us two games. Going with either goalie is a gamble, but I'd rather gamble on the goalie that has proven himself. Mrazek is going to be an amazing goalie in a couple years but he still has a ton to learn.
