I think that's a fantasy, sadly. But it seems that Drouin has opened up space for some of our other forwards, and impressively so.

Don't know if anyone mentioned this already from the broadcast but Johnson's 16 playoff goals puts him in 4th all-time for the franchise and 1 ahead of Stamkos(in 16 fewer games no less). Kucherov is not far behind with 14 now. Also Johnson tied VL4's record for most points in a playoff game

Lost in all the Abdelkader drama was the Dekeyser hit on Palat. Any chance we see a hearing on that one? I feel like if we were still in the reg season we would, but i'm not sure about the playoffs.

Now I'm drooling.....
3 lines that can score!
Last night finally settled it guys.
We're the dirtiest team in the league, by far. We employ the biggest goons in hockey, such as Brian Boyle and Cedric Paquette.
Psh, those two got nothing on Jo Drouin and Nik Nesterov, those two are the biggest goons in the NHL by far. Oh and shame on Corburn and Callahan for going after poor, innocent Larkin. We're just a dirty team.
I swear, northern fans are a million times more ******** about getting beaten by us than any other team. It's glorious and wonderful. We exist to make them cry, and I love it. It's just hilarious that they hate our softest and smallest players for being better than their trash. Seriously why does everyone hate Johnson? He's just a good player who takes an unreal amount of uncalled for physicality just for being that good and making funny faces as far as I can tell.
Sad that a once classy organization like the Wings is now sinking to the level of teams like the Bruins.
For those of you on facebook, look at the trending topics and click on the Abdelkader attacks a lightning player. Read some of those posts. Detroit fans in the same line saying they don't think what he did was wrong while calling Yzermans organization classless because the PA guy played Broken Wings and Don't Stop Believin the past two nights.
What a double standard. Not to mention several saying Tampa Bay thuggery is what got Blunden hurt, "suck it," etc.
For the love of all things good, come out tomorrow and clip another wing and go up by 3.

Oh I know there's plenty that didn't like what he did but since I didn't see any Tampa fans defending him that's why I said wings fans and that's a given. It was dirty and it boggles my mind, no matter if he's your guy or not, how you can defend somebody doing what he did.Just remember when you say "Wings fans" that's a generalization. I'm a die hard Wings fan, and I don't agree with what Abdelkader did. That was gutless, punching a guy repeatedly in a vulnerable position.
Anyways, I'm not here to make a scene. The game got out of hand because of officiating. You guys got a lengthy 5 on 3, then Datsyuk gets the only penalty after he loses a tooth. That made things escalate, and there were obvious make up calls going the Wings way after that. (That Boyle "penalty" on Ericsson was a joke. That was a hard hockey play.)
The Dekeyser hit on Palat was absolutely clean in my opinion though. Palat had his head down, and Dekeyser crunched him.
Drouin looks good. Hopefully Mrazek can be the savior from a Wings perspective, otherwise this is done in 4 or 5.
