Wait until the gigapixel picture comes out that will be really amazing. They took one right before/at puck drop.

Yep that's the big house for you, it's horrible. Did you see 2 snow plows? I did not see any on the drive home haha. The Road Commision was one of the first things to get funding reduced when the economy tanked in MI.

Right before game time I waited and they said they would have more in 20 minutes. To make it worse my friend got the last one! So I tried again during the first intermission at a different concession stand, and they ran out again! Edit: I only waited 20 minutes. Some guy was complaining because he waited 40 minutes haha

Not only do the wings get beat up physically, they get beat up verbally The part with Bert and the bottle was funny. He was successful in getting under their skin.

Is Parking at the Winter Classic going to be difficult? During Football season majority of the parking is on the golf course, and other grassy areas With the snow it would be difficult to keep these lots open. What are some good options that won't cost an arm and a leg to park at?

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=689507 I found this too detailing all the shuttle routes and the free parking at the park and rides. Just keep in mind the parking is free but the shuttle is $4 per person. There is a disclaimer though *Patrick Kane will be riding along in the NHL shuttle to assure passengers give exact change*

Is it just me or do refs look less professional when they are dropping F bombs at players?

Can we bring up nyquist mid game?

So I guess it's not "come out flat on West coast trips" now, it's come out flat on coast trips

E "hit" him in the lower back and he went head first into the boards.....Big dive, still a horrible decision by E though

Haha I guess, stuff like that always infuriates me. The refs know the rules, and this one is black or white. There is no interpretation needed.

Still surprised no one is talking about a blantant disregard for rule on blood. Why does the NHL even write rules that they do not enforce?

8.3 Blood A player who is bleeding or who has visible blood on his equipment or body shall be ruled off the ice at the next stoppage of play. Such player shall not be permitted to return to play until the bleeding has been stopped and the cut or abrasion covered (if necessary). It is required that any affected equipment and/or uniform be properly decontaminated or exchanged. Why was shaw allowed to be on the ice for the final minutes? The cut was not covered, and the cut continued to bleed.

uhm why is shaw even allowed to be on the ice, if at every stop he has to go over to the bench to wipe off blood it's obvious he is still bleeding.

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!

Not watching the game, but hearing shaw attempted another slew foot?

It's going to be interesting. This will be the first time the conferences meet. One team could come out and just over run the other. Just watching the games in the east their style of play feels quicker.

Chicago has been getting away with murder these playoffs. Still amazed that the slew foot by shaw did not get any attention from the league. I seriously think the reaction of NBC plays a big part in if it get looks at or not.

This is what you get when you schedule a back 2 back

Thinking the same thing. Although I think the east is going to annihilate the west in the finals. Just watching the game last night the east just looks faster.

What is it going to take to get shaw suspended, this guy is injuring everyone.

I guess all those people that get nailed from behind should not have held onto the puck too long, or should have known the player was there . Nyquist is defenseless Bolland comes from his blind side and hits him into the board. When he lines up the hit Nyquists back is facing him ,so it's not like nyquist put himself in that position. At that point it's bolland's responsibility to let up. Was it the single reason the wings lost this game? nope. Should it have been called? yes.

It was not a check from behind, it was boarding.

I just answered the question. Are penalties considered breaks now? How many breaks did the hawks have? No penalty shot when abby had the stick knocked out of his hands, shaw clearly slew footing flip, franzen boarded and a goal scored. I won't deny the better team won, but don't justify not calling a dangerous play because one team appears to have more "breaks".

It was absolutely boarding.
