Game 4 vs CAL




Pregame: this is where the fans get there moneys worth.. This is when we get to second guess everything a coach does.. Should MB have played Bert on Tuesday night? Should he play him tonight? Obviously it was a mistake to break up Huds, Phil and Franzen to begin with (MB admitted as much today).. Early returns on the Trashcan poll reveal that a majority of you think Samuelson should be benched in favor of Huds (word is that Huds is playing tonight so someone will be sitting).. Bottom line is that it is a nice problem to have a youngster who is ready to jump in for an under performing veteran like Lang..
Keys -- hell, its time to just play hockey.. the damn key to the game is to get off to a good start, hit anything that moves and take away any thoughts the Flamers might have of making this a series.. GAME ON!!


LETS GO RED WINGS


1st Period - a very even period.. Huds did not get the call (big mistake in my opinion).. The move of Bertuzzi to the Lang line paid off right away as both Bertuzzi and Franzen lit the lamp.. 2nd CAL goal was a bad regular season goal - Lebda let Conroy shoot and Flop Boy couldn't handle the slight screen.. Calder was demoted to only 1:56 of ice time.. He needs to get going soon..


2nd Period - couple things I need to vent about: The officiating is getting ridiculous.. That Datsyuk hooking call almost made me go Cady on the remote.. Robert Lang needs to get his head out of his ass and learn to play hockey again.. The DET power play had better figure this out before there on the golf course next week..
The Iginla line is totally outplaying Z's line so somebody else is going to have to step up (Calder? Phil? maybe MB should play both of them a little more to give the big guys a break -- Calder 5:38 and Phil 4:26 through 2).. DAMN IT DET.. LETS GET THIS TOGETHER !!

3rd Period - it doesn't fucking matter..

post game -- what an absolute HORSE SHIT performance.. Nice you fucking decide to wake up the last 7 minutes of the game when Kipper has you beat.. Where the fuck is the defense? the first 2 games of this series the Wings suffocated the Flames.. now they are giving up odd man rushes by the bunches.. And what the hell happened to the offense? This is not the Devils where talking about here.. this is the CAL fucking Flames.. No matter what happens I want Mike Babcock out of here..How can you screw this series up this bad? you are up 2-0 against a team that was FUCKING BURIED!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WIN 1 GAME ON THE ROAD AND THE SERIES IS OVER!! IS THAT SO FUCKING DIFFICULT!!?? Why would you bring in a rusty Bertuzzi to mess up a 4th line that has been on fire? Yes, he was the only one that had a good game tonight, but you had all of the momentum and you just threw it all away.. And do NOT tell me that this is all doom and gloom and that the Wings can win Saturday and everything will be all right.. BULL SHIT!!! The wings are stuck in the same damn rut that killed them in 2004 and 2006.. This series is all but over.. ANOTHER FUCKING early EXIT!!.. the TRASHCAN can no longer stand it has been kicked so much..


Final CAL 3 - DET 2

Next game: Saturday at 3:00 CBC, NBC
