gdt Post-GDT ECQF Game 1: Red Wings 3, Lightning 2 (DET leads, 1-0)

Exactly. I mean they scratch Fowler as well to play Wiz, they are just that deep.

He's making 5 million ... You'd think he'd be good enough to be in the lineup right now

Who cares? Howard isn't in the lineup either, he makes more.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

Mrazek was strong but he does need to stop going on quests with Hobbits behind the net. He put Zidlicky in a tough spot when he took the penalty for jamming the TB player into the crossbar.

I'm sure he realized that after Zids took that penalty.

Just shows Babcock has more confidence in mrazek cause Howard's just not as good as some people seem to think ... Same applys to the wiz

[RedWingsRox 614]

Won't lie and say that I saw this coming. Still shaking my head at how Wings pulled that one out of the hat.

Not to temper people's excitement but I'm still a realist. Last year, we won first game vs. Boston then lost next 4 and out in 5 ...

disney.com shirtless post game interview. And yet they gave the third star to Boyle pshhhh

Yea because you say it must make it a fact. Anaheim has a deep defense and he is sitting because of that. If you watched Anaheim managing there D at all this season you would see this is what they have been doing, exactly why Fowler has been sat for other Dmen to play. Wiz will play in the series.

Wings fans tonight:

Looks like he's jerking off, which I'm sure is what some fans are doing out of excitement. Edited April 17, 2015 by wings87

And the girls are... Yeah, after watching Datsyuk.

[joesuffP 1,746]

we really don't need to s*** all over Howard just because Mrazek played a good game

That's what I keep thinking about

And because you say it must be a fact? ... Making 5 million per means you should be playing every game in the series ... if he's as good as people think he is

Anyways let's agree to disagree we won't change each others minds on this and I'd rather not get into arguments with the wings winning today

Hate to be that proverbial bucket of cold water, but they cannot play like that again. Team looked so old and slow it was insane how Mrazek played but cmon.

[Motown4013 350]

Highlight reel goal by Glendening.

5 dollar goal......I didn't realize I shoudl have added an addendum if it was a shorty! next year

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

Watching that Glendening goal on repeat. The quote "Hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work hard" basically describes Glenny's success thus far

You're not that bucket, were all thinking it.

With the exception of a handful of players, They were absolutely horrible tonight, Mrazek just stole the game for us.

We know it, so you're safe.

There is a trend with my argument, go do your research. Hell, even go to hfb they even had a topic with "Whats wrong with Fowler" and the Anaheim fans explained the exact thing i'm saying.

With your argument, it's just "he sucks and doesn't play because I think so".

Big difference.

[Sergei Fedorov91 24]

Haven't posted here on years, but i'm drunk and GO WINGS! Mrazek a beast!

[MotorCityMadness 388]

How many times in the last 10-12 years did we see this type of game from the other side and have the opposing goalie literally be the difference in the series? Anyways, scrap it all and come out ready for game 2!

[rick zombo 3,739]

Except for Bishop's bed pooping, I can't see Tampa playing any better than they did tonight. Detroit on the other hand. Plenty of room for improvement. Need more out of Nyquist, Tatar, and Sheahan, although it must have been tough for them with all the penalties.

If Mrazek can stay dialled in, this series could be a nightmare for the Bolts.

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Now, that was ugly for sure, but it wasn't quite 14-46 shots ugly. Some of that had to do with the 7 penalties called against us. Hopefully, if we spend less time on the PK we'll look a little more energetic next game.

Any line up changes? I wouldn't mind if Pulkkinen played next game to get some more shots. Not sure who i'd want him to replace, though.

I expect them to be a lot better ...were a lot better team than we were today and ya wasn't like we were playing amazing but those non stop calls against us didn't help ... Can't see that happening again as well

Your right I'm wrong

Whatever you say

[MrazekFanBoy 223]

We need to forecheck better, once Abby comes back balance will be restored in the lines, it's obvious that Nyquist Tats and Sheahan still have to adjust to playing in the playoffs, Once Z and D get split up we'll be fine, I'd like to see

Tatar Datsyuk Helm

Z Sheahan Abby

Miller Glenny Ferraro

Weiss Andy Nyquist

If Helm could go back to center we could play Abby with Datsyuk and put Goose on the second line with Z and Sheahan I feel all four lines would be good.

[wings7 62]

Gotta trade Tatar and Nyquist while their stocks are high. They were so bad tonight.

I'd bench one of them for Cleary for sure next game.

Bring in players who will be physical and engage.

F-it. Bring Smith in at forward.

Horrible effort by everyone not named Datsyuk, Glendening, Helm, Zetterberg and Mrazek.

Now, that was ugly for sure, but it wasn't quite 14-46 shots ugly. Some of that had to do with the 7 penalties called against us. Hopefully, if we spend less time on the PK we'll look a little more energetic next game.

Pulkkinen is just another guy not wanted to get dirty. He will for sure cough up the puck and not go into the hard spaces.

We need to forecheck better, once Abby comes back balance will be restored in the lines, it's obvious that Nyquist Tats and Sheahan still have to adjust to playing in the playoffs, Once Z and D get split up we'll be fine, I'd like to see

Why would we split up the only line that produces for us on a nightly basis?

I'd wanna see pulks in as well don't know who we'd take out but I can't see him playing if abdelkader comes back ... If abs is back I'm sure weiss is gone .... And who would pulks replace ? I think babs like jurco and Ferraro's speed and against tampa I think were gonna need all the speed we got ... Andersson? Again we need someone to hit as well

I just can't see pulkkinen playing game 2 unless abdelkader is still out
