Well that's a season ladies and gents. There's no other team I'd rather have my heart broken by. Go wings.

Thanks for the candid and creative post.      I totally agree.

Stuart -6 this series. What a crock piece of s***

We're watching Nick Lidstrom's last game, and this is how his team is going to send him out.  Not with a bang, but a whimper.  


******* pathetic.

That's how they like to send their captains off

Keeping Nyquist on the 4th line was f***in stupid.

esteef

Go Wings!  Let's start this off right.

Everyone on our team with a K in their name scores.  
Everyone on the preds with a vowel in their name doesn't.

They just need to solve Rinne and do it quick, take his confidence and start working the rest of the team from there.

These names make me feel safe: Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Howard and hopefully Helm sooner than later. That group has has moderate success in the playoffs :-).

Datsyuk has Rinne's number. Red Wings are going to school Nashville... Preds are out of their league agaisnt a superior and veteran DRWs.

So after this years first round ouster what does Kenny do in the offseason? As far as I am concerned its a complete failure if both Ryan Sutter & Zach Praise are not in Wing jersey's come fall. Also I would make a play for Shea Webber b/c our first round picks take for ever to come on board and also they gave up a first for a piece of junk in Kyle Quency so might as well give up some firsts for something great.

What's a fact is that this team has been in serious decline since game 7 2009 and it needs to be fixed ASAP! This team won't beat any of the other 7 teams in the West come playoffs and being is 6th seed is a damm joke!

They pulled the goalie and went for it, I applaud them for it. Time to take care of business and get the job done.

Preds in 5 or 6.  Sorry, love the Wings but I've got to be realistic.  Preds have reloaded whereas we got Quincey.

Given our tendency to pick it up in the playoffs, and given that Nashville lives and dies on three guys, I'm calling the first round upset here and now.

All you that are predicting Nashville to win , please exit right and don't watch anymore because it just won't be worth your time.

UGH! How did I forget that extra negative. The travel to Phoenix would have been worse, same with watching late games, but at least there would have been plenty of Wings fans diluting their White Out nonsense. Nashville fans get their playoffs tickets free in packages of Donettes at the truck stop, do some asking around about this "hockey" in the line to get in, mouth-agape listening to opposing fans explain it.

And the lack of TV exposure this series will likely get.

Yet another disgraceful loss at home. No scorers and no scoring. Who the hell are they gonna beat in the playoffs anyway? This team isn't going anywhere and regardless of where they finish. You can thank your overrated coach and inept General Manager.

This team is toast, I've never been so excited for the off-season.  Absolutely noooo identity.

LOL the offseason? Pretty sure playoffs haven't started yet. Whole new beast. Never know what happens. I recall several times where the Wings play bad down the last stretch of the regular season and ended up going really far in the playoffs. It's hockey. Anything is possible.
