are you related to stinky fish taco? lol you are an idiot

All these things we need while we are down 1-0 after a PP goal in the first period... Interesting. You guys all need help.

This team is SO ******* HORRIBLE on the 5 on 3. Do they honestly not EVER address how much the suck on the 5 on 3? IMO, don't even put Datsyuk, Zetterberg or Lidstrom on the ice for 5 on 3s. They just ******* pass it around for god damn ever.

Shows how much you have really watched... See thats a double minor the orange and blue team

It has nothing do to with the guys playing in front of him? This is a TEAM sport!

i just hope you can make it through this very difficult time.

Michigan State?

Why are you still watching then?

Sidney Crosby has possessed Sam Gagner's body and found a way to get back on the ice!!!!!!!

Come on dude, I'm running out of minuses to use on your posts.

But you will. You're losing to the 8th seed in the final day of the regular season in a tight playoff race, falling right out of the playoffs with the Stars at #8.

This is War!!!!! Today's video. It takes the award for fastest time I ever completed a video; start to finish it took just under 3 hours. Hope you guys like it!

No....You'll just be losing to the 5th seeded Hawks.

Again, what more do you want for a player making the minimum, causes no trouble not playing every night, and can be used in every situation and at least be counted on not to make a mistake. The other night when he coughed the puck up and lost a goal, he worked his ass off and got it back. Miller will not yield anything better in trade then what we already have in Miller. I am sorry but people who don't get the idea of value in players don't understand how to build a winner. I am sure you would rather have someone on the team that will drop the gloves or try for a big hit, and while doing this is an anchor to an entire line, and costs us games. We don't need goons, we need hustle and heart. Right now Miller is in the top half of our team in that yet gets paid peanuts. Emmerton and Eaves both deserve the boot before Miller.

This team is good. I am not excited about screwing it all up. Trading away dependable, inexpensive 4th liners for a locker room cancer like Jeff Carter; no thanks. No team is going to do Detroit any favors as usual, why would they? I think if a good plugger, thats got a tough side, gets dealt late in the day at the deadline, I think it's a positive thing. I know the majority on here want to make a huge splash with a big name, but those names that are available don't win playoff series. Your third and fourth liners grit is typically the determining factor in playoff wins! We all should be happy, we don't need much.

Makes me glad Ken Holland is in charge.

That was one of the worse positionally set up 5 on 3's I've ever seen. They really need to get the PP in order and quick.

Need Nabokov to be goalie 1b.....

How about a Fil goal to tie it?

That's gonna leave a mark

So true. f*** this blows get Nabokov asap. I like McDonald and Conklin but home ice throughout the playoffs is essential for our cup run

I'm sure many equipment managers hate Pasha. Crawling in the rafters after a game in search of jock straps is tedious work.

Would rather have seen Rinaldo on the receiving end of that punch

I was going to say he must be the worlds fastest healer if hes only out 2 games with a broken finger. hes out at least a month

His shoulder very cleary hits the guy in the facemask. Doesn't make it a dirty hit or even a penalty, but there was contact with the head. I don't know the college rule, and going by NHL rules I wouldn't call it a penalty. I wouldn't say the head was targetted or the principle point of contact. Just saying that with all the attention on head hits and concussions, I can understand why a call was made. There's a reason slippery slope arguments are considered fallacious. Refs are probably a little over-zealous when calling headshots. That doesn't mean it won't improve as refs and players adapt to the new rules, and certainly doesn't mean that refs will become over-zealous in calling other types of hits. No one is trying to get rid of body checks. They are trying to reduce head injuries. I would think that head injuries are more 'universally undesireable' than tapping a guy on the hip or mitts with a stick. A good arm tackle used to be considered "defense". Used to be fine (sometimes still is) to rub a guy out along the boards after he chips the puck past you. Used to be fine to try to take a guys head off if he didn't see you coming. Yes, there are inherent risks to the game. However, exaclty what those risks are hasn't been known for long, and I'd bet are still not widely understood by the players. Head injuries can have permanent debilitating effects on people. Players have been getting bigger and faster. Equipment gives better protection so players feel the need to more agressive. As the game becomes more violent, and the risks better understood, you'll get adaptations like this to minimize those risks. Yeah, maybe you'll see people pulling up on these hits more often. And really, so what? Hits like that happen maybe once a game. If that's all hockey is to you then I'd have to say you're no more a fan of hockey than the guy who tunes into NASCAR for the crashes is a fan of racing. There are big hits that don't involve head contact, and they very rarely result in injury. If anything, I'd expect players to become more adept at laying a big hit without hitting the head. People always say they don't want to see someone get injured, but it seems to me that is exactly what they want. Maybe not a lasting injury, but you all sure cheer loud enough when someone gets knocked senseless. Well, guess what. That's a brain injury. Maybe not severe, maybe not one that will cause any lasting harm, but an injury just the same. We still do not really understand how those little injuries can add up. Much better to err on the side of caution. Worst-case we see fewer big hits and fewer injuries. Players are always going to push the envelope; try to get away with as much as possible without crossing the line (or getting caught doing so at least). If you're too lax with the rules, the worst-case is you see a lot more frequent and more severe head injuries. I'd certainly prefer the former.
