Sorry you got to see the worst of it. After I watched the replays online, I realized how bad some of those goals were. NBC doesn't break down plays nearly as well as FSN so I had allowed myself to think they were flukes and that the Bruins had just gotten lucky. Nope. Justin, that pretty much sums it up.

Not because it was an exciting match-up, but because it was the first Wings game I would be able to watch in a while. (I live in Canada.) Boy was I let down. That game was the sorriest game I've seen the Wings play in a long time. It was like they didn't care at all. Hudler looked alright but everyone else was just sleep-skating or something. Hasek was weak. Our offense was weak. Our defense was weak. Even Lidstrom, who you can always count on to play a good game, seemed pretty lax and nonchalant in his defensive zone. It seemed like everyone just had their minds elsewhere. I avoided watching the sports highlights last night just so I didn't have to see this embarassing performance again.

Everyone was off and making Hasek the scapegoat may have created more problems than it would have solved. Those kinds of games usually seem to be good for Hasek, who generally responds with a dominating game after a bad one. The way the Wings were playing, I don’t think it would have mattered.

Who cares if Hasek doesn't like it... Babcock is the coach and should do whatever might help the team. I also think Dom needs to be brought down to earth sometimes and realize he is human. He even took a penalty for playing the puck out of the trapezoid... how many times has he done that this year??!! I just hope he can stay healthy... otherwise I think we're going to be in trouble come the playoffs.

It's not Babcock's practice to pull Dom, and it's not Hasek's preference to <strong>be</strong> pulled. It's as much Dom as it is Babcock. I thought Dom looked pretty good Friday. As for yesterday, he let in a stinker or two (such as the Tenkrat goal), but the others were direct results of bad defense. The Bruins were johnny-on-the-spot on all of them. Jimmy Howard is in Grand Rapids for the stretch run, unless, of course, there is an injury. If Hasek does go down, Chris Osgood is the man and Howard would strictly be a backup. He is not ready for consistent NHL time in the regular season, let alone the playoffs. He hasn't even proven himself in the AHL postseason yet. Jimmy may not even be able to move up for next season, as I'm told he has some confidence issues.

He was having a terrible game and things obviously weren't improving for him... Hasek has looked pretty shaky the past two games after coming back from his little injury. I think they need to bring up Howard and play him for a couple games, just in-case Hasek gets hurt. I don't think Osgood will be able to take us all the way on his own, and Howard needs some NHL experience. Lookin' forward to the next two games against Nashville... GO WINGS!!!!!
