Mr Giveaway and Mr Bad Penalty.

GET IN THE CAR

Chicago has the advantage in almost every category.. That being said, fuck Chicago, Go Wings!!

We are so bad at getting it out of zone under any sort of pressure. Just shit our pants sometimes. 

Those blackhawks sure are some pesky sons of bitches. No space out there at all.

in the stands.  I'd rather they play White at this point. Smith has zero confidence right now and it shows badly.

Too cute. Just get the damn puck out, stop trying to make cute passes in your own zone.

Do our defenseman have forearm muscles?

what a bad call on kronwall, total dive by hossa

I call that a dive

Hossa got lost on the way to the swimming pool

is keeping us in this...

Good job, PK.

He's done nothing in this game to help us!

He needs to go the way of Lashoff. 

smith just is not fast enough with the puck, he holds it way too long and then gives it away!!

We need to rotate 5 d-men. Smith is garbage right now.

so far. Made some nice saves and has been very alert to the puck. After 2 still 1-1 and we need to put some pressure back on the Hawks again cause this period honestly was won by Chicago. Can't win a game with only 11 shots and going 0/3 on the PP. Need to sustain better pressure in the 3rd. Both goalies looking good. Good action here! GO WINGS

wow what a bad period for detroit, really lucky it's still tied. Howard is definately keeping us in this game. Hopefully the hawks wore themselves out and we can take over in the 3rd.

This game reminds me of wings games of the past where we would totally dominate but not score and then the other team finally gets a shot and scores.  Hopefully this time we can be the other team and steal a game we have no business winning.

So guys; 2nd intermission dicussion: how do we feel about Smith tonight?

 

Is there a player on a team that's still in the playoffs that's worse than Smith right now? Discuss.

something in the third. That long series with the Ducks is showing up...

Lets see, terrible officiating and terrible play by the Wings' defense. So, all in all, a pretty standard game so far

for Lindstrom to come back?

Clearly the problem with the wings is Jimmy Howard.

Phew!
