Game Thread: Red Wings at Predators – 4/20
We’ve got a virtual must-win for both teams tonight. Detroit needs the win or they go back home having blown a two-game lead. Nashville needs it or they’re a loss from elimination.
There have already been calls for Hasek’s head and if he doesn’t shine tonight, those will only get louder. I’m trying not to fault him for Game Three.
I just checked what time it starts. 9pm ET. That’s not good. 2AM for me. I will make it to the end. Hopefully.
Anyway, I don’t think it’s fair to blame Hasek on his own for what happened. Going on the defensive too early is what cost them, like what others have been saying. It’s a new game and it’s time to move on. But if they blow another two goal lead, I may actually explode.
No lineup changes for the Predators, meaning that Legwand stays in. Detroit is swapping out Andreas Lilja and replacing him with Brett Lebda.

Darren Helm will take the pregame skate, ready to go if an unspecified Wing is unable due to injury. Figure it would be Abdelkader if the Wings were looking for grit, so this is probably a skill guy. Samuelsson or Draper.
My Internet’s been flaky across the last couple days, but I’ll try to be around for this thread throughout the game.
Helm is out. Whoever was feeling hurt is good enough to go tonight.
Playing “Battle of the Heroes” from Revenge of the Sith at the Sommet Center. I’m old-fashioned, but that’s the kind of stuff you play in a pregame show, not cheesy nu-metal.
askdfjal;sdjf;lasj; AHHHHH! I HATEHATEHATE that ‘April in the D’ commercial. Yeah, it wouldn’t be bad except for the fact they play it EVERY TWO MINUTES >:|
They could at least make it more hockey-esque. Stanley in the D?
Oh yeah, has a nice ring.
I hope Lebda can do something tonight
I am excited. It’s eight past nine, and I am anxious for the face-off.
Anyone else think the sign they showed that the kids made for Valtteri looked like a chicken with a hockey stick? XD Hahahaha, it was cute
Zata with a couple good chances early, gotta keep that up.
Wheres the HD this is blury as hell on my tv. I have to wait for the NY & NJ game to get over then it switches to the wings on versus
So it’s not just my old SD TV.
f*ck, I wish it was blurry enough to not see that.
i agree
Mickey: “Back door for Hamhuis. And he was wide open.”
If I was Bill, I would make a joke.
Jesus Christ, another?
wheres osgood
O dear.
Alright, f*ck it. Still early.
The problem with putting Osgood in is that you’ll never be able to go back to Hasek for the rest of the playoffs ’cause he’s a headcase.
maybe those weren’t haseks fault but these 2 goals in under a minute is killing me
I think those aren’t fans with whistles, that’s just what it sounds like when you breathe through that big of a gap in your teeth.
ok lets get one here. whoever has that damn clapper I’d like to get ahold of it and beat them with it
Puck bouncing all over the place.
I blame the Tigers. The Wings don’t win when they do.
Mac looks like he wants to break Smithson into tiny pieces.
at least were not senator fans get the golf clubs out
Two awful passes by Hartigan and he lost the draw on Nashville’s second goal. Why isn’t Abdelkader playing?
horrible tootoo did nothing wrong there?????
Yeah, Huds. Lets just golf a little floater on net, that’ll get by.
They just don’t look up for it. I’ve seen more intensity at a WI coffee morning.
Of course, exactly what the Wings need is more penalties ):
I wish Dr. Fil could get a goal. ): Where’s the shooting stars & falling eyelashes when you need them!?!?!?
But then, reconsidering it, I’d wish for them the Stanley captial ‘C’ Cup.
Hahaha, memories.
Someone needs to remake the commercial. It really should be ‘Stanley in the D’
I need to be distracted. I’m playing Lego Star Wars over intermission. Someone let me know when the game’s back on. This blows.
If the wings don’t pull their socks up and buck up their ideas, this is gonna be a long night.
Should someone alert Clark?
x] Hahaha, legos.
I love legos. I actually built a major lego city a few weeks ago. XD Hahaha, I was helping my friend’s little sister.
No need to alert me, I’m paying attention. Though beating the hell out of stuff with a lightsabre was very thereputic.
Haha. Its not easy going to a hockey game in Tennessee. There are no cars going around an oval.
I’m sure he’ll come back.
I had to make do with a box of random lego. I’m still gutted I never got to go to legoland.
Anything’s better than talking about the game right now.
Seems to me like the WINGS aren’t working very hard tonight. Its not that Nashville is looking all that great either. Medicocre at best. Strange to say the least, that the WINGS aren’t putting a little more energy into this. Not sure what to think at this point. 1st period stats had the Preds ahead in every category, except shots, even face offs and shots on net were very close.
On the motherf*cking board! Grab your sisters and run, we’re coming for ya!
Yes! Dasyuk!
YAY!
Push your eyelashes back in, thanks to Datsyuk <|3
Hmmm. Noe De Vries scores. Let's hope I spelled that right XD
Nevermind. f*ck it.
Way to go.
Ozzie’s in now.
Urgh. Could couldn’t lift it up there.
At times like these, I wonder how different this season would have been, had the Wings kept Mathieu Schneider. I will let you all ponder that for a moment, as I will myself x] I hope the Ducks lose.
Osgood seems steady for now.
They’d goddamned better call Nashville for every push and shove after the whistle after that call on Draper.
Disciprine, Draper. Discprine! What was the point?
Agreed. That was silly. ): I don’t even know what to say anymore. This game is getting ridiculous. I wonder if this is what the games the Wings win feel like to their opposing fans?
Okay, I’d assumed he’d done something bad. I’m struggling to pay attention.
Why do they do that? I still haven’t figured it out, and I haven’t enough patience to put up with my dad to ask. =/
Why do they kick people out of the face-offs sometimes? ):
Back to Star Wars…
Yawn. I’m slowly losing the will to live. I don’t see the wings winning this game.
Well thank you Groininator, and your inability to stop non traffic slap-shots from the blue line. I wonder if Babcock’s man crush on Hasek has finally run its course. Lets all hope so, the man’s a joke who can’t even hold onto his stick.
Nothing like some camp 80s synth pop to take your mind off things:

Wake up everybody! Pavs does it again!
Now don’t concede! I mean it. Don’t.
Some momentum seems to be being built here.
The Wings are buzzing. Come on, we need another.
please lord, let the wings win!
Running out of time…
Please do this! come on!
Damnit. Wings had so much going and then they couldn’t even gain the zone. WTF?
Miracle needed here.
Am I in some sort of timewarp? I swear 4 years just passed by there.
And after Hasek’s performance in game 3, the pundits are correct in asking for his head. I say the first sign of him being shakey tonight, pull-em. He has to make the stops in play-off hockey. Game 3 was almost inexcusable.
Is Lilja out tonight and Lebda in???
