Single worst trade in the History of the NHL.. Some day im gonna have to explain to my kids as to why the Wings would trade away a future allstar like Jason Williams for a rental. The Forsberg and Thornton trades look like an even swap compared to this disaster.

Biggest game of the Series..... Up 3-1 or tied 2-2 is at stake.
2 biggest factors for Detroit(IMHO):
1) Play like it is Game 7... control of the series hinges on the outcome
2) The WINGS PK UNIT vs CALGARYS PP UNIT
5 on 5 Detroit seems to be in control of them..... I just thought our PK unit did not do well against what appears to be a pretty good PP unit for Calgary....
I am sure plenty of WINGS will end up in the box in Game 4, as it is being played in Calgary
Last night the Calgary PP netted two goals.... that cannot happen if we expect to win

If Calgary wins this game, You can throw out the 2 dominating games. Because they wont even be discussed.
Lang needs to do something. All season long the lang apologists kept saying he was the best playoff performer we've had for 2 years. Hew ill step it up.
Well, not only is he not stepping it up. Id argue hes getting worse cause now hes getting hit more, and as a result is even more invisible. I would have never thought in a million years Datysuk would play better in contact than lang, who has what 50 lbs on him?
we need that 2nd line to score, or San Jose\Anaheim is going to eat us alive.

I'm more worried about our 1st line consistently scoring than our 2nd line scoring at all.
Lang's line has done nothing for 3 games while Datsyuk's line has had one subpar game, and at least created a few chances and a PP. I dont see how you'd be more worried about Detroit's top line when our #2 line is an absolute disaster right now.

isnt the point of the 2nd line to score to take the defensive pressure off the first line?
its VERY easy to shut down a one line team. And it took Calgary 2 games to adjust. Which would logically mean the 2nd line should be open and ready to rock.
The 2nd line doesn't have a point in the series. thats a MUCH bigger problem. We wont move on into the 3rd round with 1 line scoring. We are paying Samuellson based on his 30 goal season. Lang is making nearly 5 mil a season i believe. And im not ready to put any blame on calder. cause he is what he is. a 2nd\3rd liner.
I think we can muck our way thru this series. Calgary isnt good. I expected them to win 1 game. But 5-6 games to work out these problems should be enough.
Last nights game was bothersome just because of the lack of anything by the 2nd line, and then the 4th line.

That's my personal favorite (that's sarcasm, BTW). Where have all the "Lang is our best playoff player the last 3 years" posters gone?!?
Languor (n.) pron. LANG-gurr DEF: lack of energy or vitality; sluggishness. 2. lack of spirit or interest; listlessness; stagnation. 3. physical weakness or faintness. 4. emotional softness or tenderness.
