Hockeytown is all a "Twitter"

The night started with such promise for the Detroit Red Wings in game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Nashville Predators, but then the unthinkable happened. I had to use the bathroom in the middle of play. (What, you thought I was going to say Nashville scored 2 goals in record time was unthinkable? Already happened twice in the series before game 4!)

I was gone for 3 minutes and when I came back to the television, the Detroit Red Wings were down 2-0 in the 1st period.

Fans were not thrilled in Hockeytown, and we took our frustrations to Twitter. Of course there were some Nashville fans there to cheer on their hard working boys from Tennessee as well.

Here's what the conversation looked like from the time Detroit scored to make the game 2-1, on their way to an eventual 3-2 loss:
(@hoopadoo is yours truly.)

@mediaphyter Boo, Detroit is on the board Link
@mediaphyter Ooh, what's that Red Wings? That's a spank. Nashville scores, 3-1. Link
@julzroguenine Osgood, please? Link
@julzroguenine Thank goodness, Dom's out! Link
@hoopadoo All I can say is about the tit for tat I just saw is haaaaaa haaaaaa take a hike old man Hasek Link
@pburleson Whoa Hasek just got pulled. That seemed kinda harsh, he had no chance. Link
@sigsegfalt YES! HASEK IS OUT! OZZIE IS IN! Link
@MissTrade @ hoopadoo even hasek is older than me @ 41 Link
@hoopadoo I hope Osgood starts the rest of the series too. I was done with Hasek after last year. Link
@dcweyh I'd trade both the Pistons and Tigers wins for a Wings win Link
@MaggieConv wtf is going on with detroit tonight?! bout time they put Ozzie in net. Link
@hoopadoo Why can't the Wings score 2 goals in 10 seconds? Oh that's right, Hasek plays for US. Link
@julzroguenine WTF? Draper was the only one who got a penalty? *grr* Link
@hoopadoo Oh man, Osgood had BETTER start game 5, he looks better in 4 minutes than Hasek has in 4 games... Link
@motownmutt @ mediaphyter Darn it, quit rooting against the good guys. Home ice is over-rated. Link
@julzroguenine Osgood keeping us in this game. Why oh why didn't he start tonight? Link
@sigsegfalt Osgood hasn't played in two weeks, and looks better than Hasek has all year. Link
@mediaphyter @ motownmutt Sorry Charlie. :) Link
@hoopadoo Oh, Osgood... We missed you. Thanks for bailing out Hasbeen. Link
@julzroguenine @ hoopadoo Amen to that! Link
@hoopadoo Why do the Red Wings make opposing goalies look so good in the playoffs? Link
@TheFitB Could the Red Wings be on the verge of another disappointing playoff run? Link
@GoodForm Defensive shell for the Predators Link
@hoopadoo @ TheFitB Well, remember we went into game 5 with a 2-2 series tie against Nashville back in '04. Wings won in 6. Link
@MichaelBeaton Bed Time . . night all . . . hope the wings can pull this out! Link
@TheFitB I forgot about that @ hoopadoo that was a rarity. Much respect for them even though I'm a Leafs fan Link
@dcweyh wings score 2-3 Link
@hoopadoo Yeah! Yeah! Goal Wings! Note to Ken Holland. Osgood, yay. Hasek, boo. Link
@motownmutt Red Wings w00t! 2, un-w00t 3 Link
@hoopadoo Ohhhhhh I thought the Wings game was about to be tied! Link
@sigsegfalt Datsyuk's gonna have to win this one on his own. Link
@MissTrade Wings in pred zone about 90 percent this peiod making ozzie seem good Link
@hoopadoo That was a bad whistle in the Wings game, puck wasn't controlled by Osgood. Link
@MissTrade Not complaining about whistle take what they give us Link
@TheFitB @ hoopadoo puck not controlled by Osgood is an understatement. Sitting in front of a wide open net and the whistle goes off??? Link
@hoopadoo @ MissTrade I don't want the refs to decide the game, that's all. Link
@hoopadoo @ TheFitB The ref will just tell you he "lost sight of the puck." Unreal. Link
@hoopadoo Datsyuk, the magic man? What happened to Shake'n'Bake? Link
@MissTrade Wings in 7 Link
@davidjhinson C'mon. 2.3 seconds. Hold on! Link
@julzroguenine And I can't believe I stayed up late for that... Gonna need lots of caffeine tomorrow... Link
@hoopadoo Hasek should be first star of the game... For Nashville.... Link
@davidjhinson Hot Damn! Preds Win! Link
@TheFitB Wow! Nashville ties the series with the Wings Link
@MaggieConv WTH there is no reason why Nashville should win ANY games vs detroit..but yet..they win another one. sad. Link
@bccarlso @ hoopadoo Haasek... haasek... you suck! OK, but seriously Z boy coulda scored a couple too. Link
@hoopadoo @ bccarlso I 'm out of angry things to say about Hasek. Link
