Tyler Johnson took over the game after that body slam by Miller. Hard way to lose. I feel bad for the fans at the game. It seemed like they were having such a great time for about 53 minutes

you have to either make a play or get it deep in OT and you sure as hell can't be caught as a 3 on 1 develops.

Helm's a great player and I love to watch him but he's gotten a little too overconfident in his hands. He caused the first goal as well by trying to do the fricken triple deke on Stralman. Get it deep and use your speed!!!

Better forget about this one quickly. Bad thoughts lead to crappy play. Mrazek played well. Not scoring on the 5 on 3 a killer.

Did they even get any shots off on the 5 on 3?

Yup, that will definitely be overlooked in the dissection of the horrific play of the final 7-8 minutes. 39 seconds, gotta pot one. Power play fails have been costly in this series. On the other hand, TB shouldn't even be in the series given how atrocious theirs has been. But here we are.

Pretty bad choke job. Went from a sure series win to most likely a first round exit. I doubt the Wings win another game.

Sadly, I agree. I think this team is done.

The Wings didn't do a damn thing after the big scrum. You can't play 53 minutes of hockey in the playoffs and expect to walk out with a win.

Goddammit.

That was one of the most disappointing games I'ver ever seen the Wings play. There is no way they come back from that choke.

Hopefully this is babcocks last season here he hasn't done crap lately and it is time for him to move on. My vote is for Scotty to return

I certainly hope the NHL takes a good look at the glendening takedown. That dude should be suspended.

I am not a huge hockey guy, but I tuned into this game in the 2nd period, and thought this was in the bag. Wings were clearly outplaying them... Then even I could tell that was a choke of mammoth proportions. Mrazek left the net on that OT goal... The team looked totally defeated. I'm not optimistic about them winning this series. They'll be lucky if they can get it to game 7
