Last DET-CHI Matchup Next Game vs.

What a treasure we have...not only is he wonderful to watch on the ice, he's just as wonderful off ice. Class personified.

Received a gift card to shop.nhl.com for x-mas and I'm thinking about making a custom long sleeve shirt from their website. Thing is, I can't decide on who (only non roster players) or what text I should but on the back. Thinking maybe "Champions" for the name then for the number "97" or something. Possibly "Lord Stanley" "97". Any suggestions? BTW, great win tonight.

Would like to see tatar at some point too.

I was not asking anyone to like it. It was just a silly idea I came up with while trying to spend my gift card on something that I don't already have multiples of. No big deal.

Gretzky's shifts were longer than that.

I know! I didn't know Crosby was alive in 1988, either!

It's no wonder why there is so much bad blood between USA and CAN in these tournaments with statements like this. You didn't even mention the Canada's win yet you are ecstatic about the US loss.

LOL....how did you get negged for this post? It wasn't me either.

It was the right call. It was also the first time, possibly in history, that a referee has exercised enough patience on a play like that. Any other place, any other time, that's whistled down. Bad luck on a bad call.

"...hey bud.You can annoy anyone from the Wings,but in case of #55 just keep your mouth shut. Sincerely Ryan Clowe..."

Where is Darren Mcarty when you need him ?

Sure, by running away from Ryan Kesler. But it just doesn't look good for him and makes the team look bad. Kronwall shouldn't be afraid of Kesler.

Kesler is a whiney *****. He has a damn shoulder .. use it. I love how Kronwall DOESNT fight after huge hits. It drives the opposition nuts!

oh come on now, if kesler were a wing we'd all love him.

If Scott Stevens had to answer for every hit he made, he would've hit a million penalty minutes. Kesler is a joke. He's not from Detroit. I refuse to believe it.

This show is a joke for not covering Andreas Lilja. Guy has pulled more ***** than the rest of the team combined, yet he can't get one second of airtime. Nice going HBO. They'd rather cover that idiot Talbot apparently.

I was also pretty happy to see the USA lose! I just hope it isn't one of those losses that makes them stronger later on in the tournament. On Mrazek, he looked great in net. His team did not help him at all against Canada, and he was the sole reason the score was only 1-0 for much of the game. He seems really fast in net, really athletic, and has a head of steam.

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.

Well tbh if Kronner isn't suspended Shanahan has no credibility left.

And any hit that deserves a suspension probably deserves a fight too. if fistric was suspended for leaving his feet during the hit; that is after contact; and kronwall is clearly off the ice before contact then how wouldn't kronwall be suspended?

even dropped em with probert

I see him as an excellent backup goalie if he makes it. I don't know about him being a starter though yet.

It's pretty simple - if the Holland wants to win a cup then either thru trades, call-ups, or signings, the wings need to find better players for the roles that Bertuzzi and Hudler currently play. Keep in mind none of the other active forwards belong in the top 6 either - especially Cleary. The ironic thing is that overall our goaltending and defense is as good as it has been in years. Its the forwards that have taken a dive. Pretty much the opposite of our power years in the past.

Do the words "Jersey Foul" mean anything to you?
