—IwoCPO to his wife 7 minutes prior to Game 5.

Fourth line looking dangerous. How many times have we been able to say that the last 7 months?

Good work by the 4 Line there. Ellis gave up a huge rebound on the MAC blast—perhaps they will go to school and learn something there?

Let’s keep slamming those pucks right into his freakin bread basket so he looks like a magician in there….doesn’t have to move side to side at all.

I hate to bring this up but where is the physical game McCarty is supposed to be providing for the Wings? Has he laid anybody out yet? Smithson decked him last game from behind and… nothing. What’s going on?

PHACK -Games half over and it’s a one shot game. Phack Me!!!
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 04/18/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Mac is trying to make sure he isn’t a defensive liability…not very aggressive. But yes, he should line someone up.
Posted by Osrt on 04/18/08 at 07:51 PM ET
PP and the top line is rested—lets pot a goal shall we???
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
@Mike…don’t think they’re looking for Mac to fight, or even lay people out unless he has to. When would he have to? No idea, but I don’t think that’s come up yet.
Plus, that 4th line is looking good tonight. No need to fight yet. Just play.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Where are the pointless penalties Bubba usually take?
Posted by lilja4ever on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Now is the time to apply that boot to the throat boys… we need a PP goal.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 07:53 PM ET
BUZZING—back of the net—- PLEASE
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Didn’t mean to imply fighting on Mac’s part. Just bang some bodies and finish checks… you know… like Downey does when he plays.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Atta way, boyce. Way to stomp on their Dingus when they’re missing two top guys.

DAMN Damn Damnation. For FRACK sake. 10 - 2 shots and we can’t pull out another freaking goal.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Heh. I’m waiting for SuperKron to take someone out again.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
DANGER WILL ROBINSON - man we are playing with freaking fire, one turnover, one bounce then its sphincter time as the clock runs out with the next game in hicksville. Danger Will Robinson.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Mule is a force tonite—need more of that, draw a penalty if nothing else.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 08:00 PM ET
Pretty obvious tonite that Lebda’s speed is the thing that has him in the lineup. He’s been almost burned a few times, but makes up for it by getting back in the play.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/18/08 at 08:01 PM ET
So close…I’d kill the entire Vs. staff for a goal right now.
Who am I kidding? I’d do it anyway. Still want a damn goal or ten, though.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:01 PM ET
Yeah, like that. 4th line is getting good chances.
So…close…again…
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Homer is a beast!
Posted by Rumbear from Sun Diego on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
the ole rope-a-dope, eh?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Fiddler saw Kronwall picking up speed and lost an edge along the boards. What a coincidence.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
They’re talking about ‘grit’ again. Grit is what you put on your driveway after a frost. Grit was sold by kids from the back of comix in the Fifties. Grit is what you hope you don’t find in your seafood.
Let’s play some hockey, bitches.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
15-2 shots is just crazy. Ozzy’s gotta stay in this game.
Odds?
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Darren Elliot is an idiot wrapped in a moron..“Detroit can’t play any better than they are and it’s still a one goal game”. Anybody else believe that BS…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Can we please freaking score, please. Out of chickens, I’m almost ready to sacrifice my dachsound.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
I missed the first half of the game, but it looks like they’re back to playing wings hockey. Heavy pressure in the offensive zone, few shots, pucks look like they’re held to the Wings sticks w. magnets.
Now if they can just drive the stake through their heart.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/18/08 at 08:06 PM ET
Shit—be tough MULE its just a flesh wound
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/18/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Boarding and blood on Mule…where’s the four freaking minutes?!?
At least he looks okay.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:08 PM ET
Now that’s better Mac…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
Franzen had to spill some blood on sacred ground to appease the Hockey Gods. No more worrying now.
You betcha.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
GET ‘EM, MULE! GET’EM!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
I’m nearly out of hot fudge sauce.
What a stressful game.
