Have you watched the last 30 games. I agree originally he was great on the D end, put he gives up so many odd man opportunities these days.
1 minute left
Ok, no more defensive fuck ups and we can win this game
Let's keep up this pressure in the third.
After a weak first we pick it up big time in the second! We have the momentum and we need to just keep putting the pressure on them. Here we go boys! Don't stop believing! We are going to do it!
I want a win, not a heart attack
DAMMIT SHIT FUCK!!!!
Well that was just about the worst fucking way to start a period. jesus fucking christ!!!!!
I hate sports.
You got it Stuart
Every single time. They rush the net, 2 or 3 of our guys go after him, and then 1 Nashville player comes in late for a 1 on 1 with Jimmy
FUCK

Stuart and Kronwall have been probably our worst tandem in quite a long time. They've been on ice together for almost every Nashville goal

Anybody want to take bets on when Nashville breaks the Neutral Zone trap out? I'm guessing at around the 10 minute mark they bust it out
April 20th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
This series has shown me this team is not built for the playoffs. We need to rebuild the D with big, strong and physical guys. I think we are too soft on D right now.

OT and sorry to put in this thread, but I can't make my own. Manny Harris probably just finished the best game of his young NBA career. Scored 19 and pulled down 12 boards in a Cleveland win over the New York Knicks tonight. Glad he has found a role on an NBA team, albeit not a very good one.

Always good to hear about former players doing well. Hopefully he's played himself into a roster spot next year

The Wings have been the best pro sports organization in the country over the last 20 years.
Win or lose - I love 'em. The winged wheel is the closest thing commercial sports have to philosophy. For fuck's sake i didn't mean to wax sentimental about hockey.

But the Michigan hockey hating gods have turned their attention to the Wings now.

This is still a one shot game
April 20th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
And here comes the trap...
April 20th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
How did they miss that slash right there? #gongshow
April 20th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
It just seems like we have no offensive plan. Just drive it down, then it gets bumped out of the zone and we repeat
April 20th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
April 20th, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
No. Tweak. etc...
I'll defer to Mr. Holland. I doubt he disagrees though.

I don't think this is a team you can even talk about "blowing up"... that might yet be another couple years down the road. There's a solid core, as evidenced by the fact that we were the best team in the West for half a season. But this series serves as a harsh reality-check (I think the signs were there for the last month of the season) that there are serious pieces missing. Most evident from this series is that we need a pure goal-scorer, ala a Malkin or a Stamkos (obviously not those guys, but that type of player).
That, and there was just a serious lack of grit this series, which I can't really explain. Would've liked to see more out of Abdelkader and Miller this series. And we obviously miss Helm in that category. And don't even get me started on Franzen.

Goal Please!! Mad
April 20th, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
1:15 left and Jimmy goes to the bench
April 20th, 2012 at 10:29 PM ^
30 seconds
April 20th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
And that's the game. Maybe 4-5 seconds left if they reset the time, faceoff in the Preds zone
April 20th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
If only Zetterberg could have connected at ~13. That would have been beautiful.
April 20th, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
The D never looked this bad throughout the season as they have the this series
April 20th, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
And that's the end of the series
April 20th, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
Well, shit balls.

He said the usual: he's going to take a few weeks; also talk to Ken Holland and see what his timetable is.
For those who may have missed it: early in the game FSD showed a clip of a press conference with Coach Babcock, who said about Lidstrom (and this may not be exact), "I can't think of anything more exciting than playing hockey at a high level. Plus I know his wife, and I know she doesn't want him home, so ...."
... come back, Nick!

April 20th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
And a good coach. I think they will go deep.
April 20th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
In other hockey, Fleurey played with the hand of God in the third period. Fucking AWESOME.
April 20th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
alright Parisi....how much money is it going to take?
April 20th, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
You got it. That's the solace I take in the end of this season.
