LGRW!!!

Quality tendie work out of Abs, give him the pads.

Nielsen starting to look a lot more like Nielsen tonight. Probably the one guy i've been most frustrated with because I know how high quality of a player he really is and he's had a slow start with us.

What a snipe

Good shift from Ott there, great D play and good breakout chance.

This kids a damn sniper down that left side! Nice!!!

Well the Avs tried it on Hasek in the 2002 WCF, but lost...that might be the last one I remember

You're right... and crafty coaches like Hitchcock will use it to derail the other team, without actual consequence. I totally agree on DOL for a failed challenge. 2002 Stanley Cup playoff game vs. Colorado. Measure this, Hartley. - Dominik Hasek

There really needs to be a deterrent to these challenges. If you lose the challenges it should be a delay of game penalty. Why is it delay of game if you ask a ref to measure an illegal stick, but not for delaying the game for these reviews. There's no consequence, particularly late in games, to challenge other than losing a timeout or the potential to challenge later.

Bedard needed to go. They just need to stop using GR coaches as heir apparents and actually interview people.

Don't forget about the recapture penalty tho' ... That's one of the reasons why I don't want him retiring nor going anywhere else and then deciding he'd rather not be playing than not playing for the Red Wings.

Disagreed entirely. Wings are on their heels, Abdelkader was to the book interfered with, the boys are getting knocked around and the only calls are going against the Wings. Ott was doing his job stepping in, trying to brawl and fire up his squad and change the momentum. That's what goons do. I'd redirect the frustration to the officials.

I hope groin injury in this case just means his jock strap broke and they don't have any spares for tonight.

There is nothing I can add to what kickazz already said. When he says that it just makes me laugh. I think of Alec Baldwin doing Trump on SNL.

I agree is almost done. I think saying he has 2-3 years left is being generous. I would not be surprised at all to see Holland protect him. I just think it is the wrong move. I also think there is a better chance that, if left unprotected, that he would be left unclaimed due to his age and what he has left. I mean, I just feel it makes more sense to take a risk on a guy like Jurco or Sheahan when it comes to building a new franchise. Sheahan can make a reliable 3rd line center for them at worst when it comes down to it. He is also young enough where they'd own his rights for a long while. In the end, they are not building a team of teenagers over there. They'll have plenty of guys who have been in the league for a few years, who can be of service for several seasons. To take a 37-year-old for a veteran presence just seems silly in today's NHL. The game is getting faster, Hank is getting slower. Younger players are playing bigger roles than ever.

When was the last time anyone had a ref measure an illegal stick? Back when BobRouse was actually playing?

What the hell happened to the goalie known as Petr Mrazek? Completely different player this year. CMON MRAZEK GET BACK IN IT

Aww c'mon Petr get your s*** together. You're better than this.

Well, I guess I should note that my source is Helene. So, I guess it's technically not "official." But...yeah, it's a groin injury.

I don't get why people think "Zetterberg is done in 2 years". Why exactly is he done in 2 years? Because he can't score 80-90 points in a season anymore? It's a serious question..

I like this much better than TSN's awful prediction... If Howard continues this level of play though, you would think we might be able to get something for him before the draft...

^ That and people visiting Vegas love to spend $$. Hockey will become part of a "night out" before they hit up Hakkasan club lol

If this thread says anything, its that fans are split on what to do with Zetterberg. Holland is pretty much is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation here.

Las Vegas Golden Knights isn't a long enough name. Call it Las Vegas World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Stars. Use Chumlee's face for the logo.

It is too bad they couldn't use Black Knights. We could've had years worth of Monty Python jokes (T'is but a scratch!). Golden Knights doesn't ring right to me. but I guess it's not so bad. And yes, Hockeymom, I'm sure there'll be a hockey themed porn tribute being made sometime soon.
