Sad they got in and not say the Jackets, who would sell out every game.
Those seats are sold, the lower bowl at JLA is I believe 65% corporate owned. The Upper Deck is rarely not completely full honestly, and Detroit is just a mess at times. The problem is Babcock has used horrible lines most of the season.

Abdelkader with Datsyuk and Zetterberg? He can't do anything except crash the net and basically D and Z play by themselves. Cleary, Flippula and Franzen in the second? Cleary is the most worthless player I've ever seen (also on the 2nd PP line)Flippula has absolutely no shot, and Franzen needs a top center to feed him. Doesn't work at all. Andersson, Brunner, Nyquist is lethal usually, young but they can all skate folks. Emmerton, Eaves and Samuelsson isn't bad, but for Tootoo and Tatar not to be in the lineup is insane.

It's really a shame no one in the Detroit media challenges this franchise, some absolutely terrible decisions with the lineups this season. Just watch #11 Cleary, he is worthless

Pretty sad for a city that calls themselves the "hockey town."

God that PP for the Pens was just killer.
But, I am really impressed by the Isanders. Haven't paid attention to the east at all, but they are playing really well for an 8 seed.

LOL but that call that led to the OT PP was legit.

I didnt watch the game except the OT, so I didnt see it. Pacers/Knicks and Tribe were my main focus at the time.

Fuck caps lose. You have a pp down 1 with 2 left and have a 6 on 4 and don't get a shot on goal. Rivera and green decided they wanted to sit there and pass back and forth am for about a good minute. Oh well

Ducks take a late lead against Detroit. Wings need this one heading back to Anaheim next

That should be enough. Ducks have owned the 3rd in all the games so far.
And, that is no goal for Detroit. No way to overturn the call

The first two periods were boring and this is coming from a diehard Wings fan. That 3rd though was awesome, both teams were really getting some offensive chances. These goalies haven't been playing that well either, they just haven't had to really make unreal saves until the 3rd. Once the chances got better, the pucks were finding the net. Howard and Hiller are playing good, just not great. It won't take a miracle for either to win

Detroit looks bad the first 2 periods, then looks like the 2008 team there in the 3rd and OT. Who knows they may just take the cake

Green isn't good imo, always thought he was overrated. They should still win this series in 5 or 6, i don't see it going 7.

If boston, washington, and ottawa hold on to win their series I will definitely be buying a ticket to see the bruins play in DC.
