PP Wings. Hopefully we can get at least 1 shot on net this time.

None of those four goals have been Howie's fault. So lets not start this Howard nonsense for today's game.

Well I agree with this completely, and this is why I've been trying to get him to watch hockey again. I guess I just chose an awful night to try to get him back into it.

So I have this buddy who lives a few doors down from me, who stopped watching the NHL for the NBA during the lock out, hasn't watched a game since. I've been nagging him for the past couple weeks now to watch hockey over basketball again, and making comments about how hockey is much more entertaining than that snoozefest of NBA. Finally talked him into watching today's game, since I expected it to be a really good/important game for reasons we all know. So we order a pizza, grab some beers, watch the first period. Needless to say, I'm never going to hear the end of it. He is now watching the Pistons on FSN+, and I had to come back home to watch these last two periods while he's laughing and texting me about how much of a "snoozefest" this was. Anyways, I still think we can take this game. They started to wake up during the end of the first, but the need to play much harder and get a quick goal.

I don't agree with this at all, and I'll explain why. You can see it best in that slow motion video posted earlier in this thread. It couldn't be more clear, that Conk's glove is swooping in from the back and drags his glove outwards. At no point of that video, do you see Conk's glove stopping on top of that puck, dragging it in and back out. It's one solid motion.

Pang reports on twitter that Hossa tells Kopy that it wasn't a goal. There is maybe like 8 people who believe that was a goal, and the person credited with the goal isn't one of those 8.

It's Conklin And this shouldn't even get to the point where we debate whether the puck crosses the line or not. He clearly kicked it in, and I don't see how anyone can say otherwise.

What I don't understand is, why do we study physics in highschool and college if we can't put what we learn to use? So just because the video doesn't show whether a stick did or didn't hit the puck, we're supposed to completely ignore physics in this situation? The puck was on the line the entire time, and it's clear as day. If ANYTHING touches that puck, it is going to cross that line in one direction or another. I do not need a video showing me that something made contact with that puck, because I was taught at least some physics in school. Note: I am not going off on you or anything. I am just furious with the league for this call, because it's just disgusting. And I understand what you're saying, that it's what the NHL is basing their ruling on, and thats why I'm making the comment I made.

And there it is. NHL gives the hawks 2 points

Disgusting call, I don't know what else to say about it. I'm one of those people who don't believe in conspiracies, and that the league makes mistakes but doesn't affect the outcome of a game, but it's plays like this that make me think differently.

I would hate to be sitting behind that dude waving the flag

They just cannot buy one tonight. So many in the pain situations tonight and 2 posts.

Are you just fishing for an argument with someone or something? If you're trying to say that I am one of those people who throw in the towel once the Wings go down on the scoreboard, then you couldn't be more wrong. I am the complete opposite. I am not the first, nor the last person on these boards to attempt (or believe in) the SHUTOUT jinx.

Guess what I was saying went completely over your head.

So close there Cleary. The puck just won't go in, seems like a shutout in progress for Ward

Mule's skate saves a goal right there

Homer is shooting more lately

Weak call, and we get scored on

Lower body injury. Hopefully it's just a precaution and keeping him out for tonight and the next two

I wouldn't be surprised if they just keep Z out of the games against the hawks too, just incase they try some funny business with him after whatever it was that caused him to go to the locker room this period.

Carolina's PP is terrible. I won't be happy if they score any PP goals on us tonight

That puck just won't go in

This doesn't look good, Z leaving to the dressing room

Pavs helping Z up, hopefully just a stringer and nothing more.

Howie must have put some sticky stuff on his gear tonight. Hopefully it doesn't wear off
