Awful, terrible, nasty signing!!!!

I thought that Tampa was winning the cup last year... I'd love to see them do it. They're a fantastic team with a lot of speed, depth and skill.

I've thought Andersson's been good. He always moves his legs, is a good PK-er, and has a responsible hockey sense. He'll never score any goals, but he's really a perfect 4th liner. He just never played with anybody good.

They aren't clicking at all tonight

Larkin is way better than the market will value him, so he's just not the type of player that'll go. I can only see him getting traded for somebody very similar to him in ability, age and experience. Not sure who that'd be, and the Wings would have no reason to trade him for a guy in the same role.

I'd like to see Anderson on the team. He's at least quick and defensively responsible. He gobbles up a spot without any risk.

Mantha threw some bombs. This is a freaking great preseason game. Awesome hit by 72

Maybe he thought he was on the bench and just wanted to stick his hand out? Little bit of an F-you to Babs? HAHA

I think Nyquist might turn into a Datsyuk-like player and put up more assists than goals each year. Tatar is going to be the benefactor of many beautiful setups.

Aw no shut out. Leafs suck

Jensen looked great... surprise surprise (sarcastic)

Is Sheahan going to wear the A all season long or is this just a preseason thing?

I loved Zids and wished he come back, but now I can root for him on the Islanders, a team I am liking more and more

Brad Stuart taking Perry down at 40 seconds. He made the Wings so dynamic

Cooper's a big baby. Even though the Bolts won the series, having Cooper behind the bench is a big loss.

Game 1 is a stomping.

Tony Granato or Dave Lewis

1) Howard gone 2) Babs gone 3) Cleary gone 4) Franzen gone (retires) 5) Weiss gone (buyout) ... ouch, that's a lot of cuts... 6) A deeper offense 7) The young defenseman stepping up and maturing

Maybe the last time we see Babcock in Detroit. It was fun, but maybe its time for a new message. A stomping by the Bruins sandwiched by two heart breaking game 7 losses. Howard didn't play a single game; I wonder how he feels. Tampa was the better team. Detroit almost made their defense/system look invincible. I believe we will see Tampa beat Montreal and head to the Conference Finals against New York. I think Detroit needs a new coach, should trade Howard, and should find some offensive threats in the off-season. Zetterberg has declined substantially, and well, where is the offense going to come from next season? I'm proud of our boys. They went further than I thought they would. They won three more games than the star-studded 2002-03 Red Wings. That team had Federov, Hull, Shanahan, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Larionov, Holmstrom, Malty, Draper, Robitaille, McCarty, Chelios, Schneider and Yzerman, to drop a few names. There have been many game 7s in this franchise's past 15 years. Maybe all it takes is a little bit a push to get this team over the hump and back into Stanley Cup contention. Never give up Wings! May we come out better next year, keep the streak going, and hey... maybe even make it out of the quarterfinals! Good luck to Tampa and everybody else still in the playoffs.

Haha, now I have to go to work for a couple hours. I have to watch the third (and OT?) later tonight. Grrrrrr!

Detroit needs to find their transition game. I am concerned that they are struggling in the neutral zone.

The player who is going to score is going to be somebody with a simple genius to their game, like Datsyuk or something.

I like to drink beer by myself and stare at the ceiling.

Smith had a good blast and nearly had it deflected in front of the net for a goal. Keep blasting it, Smitty. Watch and learn Danny D!

It may be 0-0, but this IS the type of game that Detroit wants. It's muddy and scrappy and the Wings have shown they usually win these games. Plus it's game 7, and the Wings have more playoff experience and seem calm and composed. I'm saying they're going to win this one.
