    Who should we Keep? Release? Sign?

    I don't blame the loss on him, as there was plenty of blame to go around, but I do blame him for the goal that was the game-winner. But his sloppy defensive play has been on display for years. He thinks he's being tricky with the puck and can make these cute little plays, but too often the forechecker reads him like a book and it leads to a scoring chance.

    What a pass he made to Thornton, who served up Marleau for the GAME-WINNNER!!!! I'm surprised he didn't join in the celebration, or at least be awarded an assist. Just an awful awful play.

    Have you learned nothing from Paul Coffey? We need defensemen who, you know, can play defense. Rafalski's just a turnover machine in his own zone.

    Get rid of Rafalski at all costs. Trade him for a bag of pucks or something. He's soft and makes terrible decisions with the puck.

    I've been saying it for years now. Rafalski is terrible. Sure, he can score some goals, but he's soft on D and makes terrible plays in his own zone.

    WCSF Game 3 GDT: Sharks 4 at Red Wings 3

    I'd rather they missed the playoffs. All they did this time was waste our time and put us through the emotional roller coaster that is playoff disappointment. I swear there was a few moments there where I was convinced they were trying to lose. Lots of lackadaisical play, soft passes, and overall carelessness with the puck. I'll still be rooting for em in game 4, but part of me just wants to get it over with and put us out of our misery.

    OFFICIAL: 12y, $62.4m makes Hossa a 'Hawk

    Damn!!! I really wanted Hossa to come back but knew it was a long shot with our limited cap space. I can't blame him for signing with the Hawks. He took less than market value to be a Wing, and can't be expected to settle for less money for the remainder of his career. He deserves to be paid what he's worth. If anything the Hawks got him at a pretty cheap price, but I think the main thing he wanted was a long year deal. Good luck Marian! But not too much luck, especially versus the Wings. Hope the Joe Louis crowd is smart and classy enough not to boo him.

    How sad are you at the moment?

    That's what's so messed up about it. My brother and I have been hardcore Wings fans for 20 years now. And we talked about it before game 7 against Anaheim and agreed that no matter what happens, from an objective perspective, we've been spoiled compared to any other hockey fans over the last 15 years. We know that to be the truth. Yet every year we expect and demand our team win. Of course it's irrational and illogical to think they will win every year, but whether it's a loss in the first round or the finals, we are both angry and disappointed when it happens, and probably to an unhealthy degree. It's insane, and we know it's insane, but it doesn't make losing any easier to take.

    Evgeni Malkin wins the Conn Smythe

    Malkin was definitely the MVP of the Pens, and therefore probably the playoffs. I thought it was pretty much between Osgood and Malkin, and since the Pens won, Malkin got the nod. He was the most dangerous player on the ice for the Pens, and the Wings did well to limit his effectiveness, but man, that guy is scary to play against. Honorable mention goes to Crosby and Zetterberg, with a nice pat on the back for Franzen.

    At times like these, I wonder if being a fan is worth it. I hate hockey right now. I was dreading game 7 for the past 2 days. Games 6 and 7 were like torture. I got absolutely no enjoyment out of watching either game. At the risk of sounding too hyperbolic or distraught, it was like watching your daughter trying to fend off being violated.....only to watch her fail and be violently raped twice.

    Holmstrom

    He's a powerplay specialist. Without the powerplay he's a below-average player. And the refs didn't call many penalties all series. I'd still bring him back though.
