Guess Backes shouldn't have been so worried about running Zetterberg.... Kenny just answered my question, Franzen 1 goal in 9 games...unacceptable. He needs to become consistant, until then he is NOT and elite player.

So much for that. If it was between Elliot's legs you know damn well it would have been blown dead.

Eat that Jackman.....

Dear Pavel, I'd like to see more of that, please. Thank you. PS - Don't get hurt!

Jackman is such a *****. How embarrassing for the Blues.

Yeah Jackman, that's not going to get called, ever.

Of course the quick whistle while the puck is behind the net, the officiating is so pathetic its ridiculous to watch.

Datsyuk making Jackman look like a jackoff there.

How's that Calder working out for you, Jackass?

Would anyone here be upset if some Wing randomly skated over to Jackman and punched him in the face?

Lidstrom! Looks like Pavs got a mad on to get that cycle going with digging it out and the Captain delivers. We've got a game again.

I want to note this is the second time in LGW forum history that I am agreeing with GMRwings1983.

Jimmy still making great saves keeping it close, despite having virtually no help. He deserves better than what he has in front of him tonight.

What's with all the whining about the refs. We've given up a million odd man rushes and are getting outworked. The refs aren't to blame for our losing this game.

And that is the frustrating thing about it. It always seems they have more patience against the Wings. I just wish the refs would be consistently right instead of the ticky-tack calls that are too prevalent. Still, both goalies are playing very well and deserve credit.

I have to agree with Mick on this goal. He is in the right position and Howard didn't have it covered. You have to give the ref credit for being in the right position to make that call.

Wtf was that?

Dats and Helmer are putting in everything they have. The rest of the team needs to take notes as to what these two are doing and the hustle they are showing.

They seem to be getting beat on every puck. Blues look like they want it more.

Wings pretty lucky it's only 1-0, they're getting outplayed big time. The Blues played yesterday too, you know. No excuses dudes.

He and Ericsson are starting to remind me of Krupp. They do need to knock someone on their ass. Total wastes of size so far.

Why, let me break it down for you why this was the BEST decision to not fight after that hit; a.) you just stopped a breakout on one of the best two way players, i mean, the play completely stopped. Guess what, kronner did his job. b.) fighting injuries, as said earlier, are avoidable injuries. If you want to fight after you just got hit, you better be damn sure that hit was illegal. Kronners, as said many times before, is not an illegal hit. Kronner admits that he left his feet, not purposely but obviously when you step up on someone like that you're going to propel into them, it can be accidental. c.) we got a powerplay out of it, why? Because Kesler was acting like an idiot. Understandable, you were just laid out by Kronner, but guess what instead of crying because you got hit in a contact spot how about you DON'T take a penalty and go score a goal. Beat them with skill, not taking stupid penalties. I'm sorry, but absolutely nothing Kesler did after that hit was acceptable. His temper was up, obviously, but you can't let things like that take over your discipline. It's an immature move, especially from one of the highly skilled players in our league. It's just another reason why Vancouver doesn't go all the way and falls short, they don't have the discipline or maturity. Small things like this don't win championships, i don't care how small or big of a problem it is, I wouldn't allow my players to act like a bunch of teenagers on the ice under my watch.
