How does that interference not get called but that hook does

Can someone message me the pass?

Any line combination guesses?

Officiating, anyone watch the flyers game today? I was so disgusted after the first period had to turn it off.

God i hate NBC announcers with absolutely no excitement at all they would sound about the same after some boring simple wrist shot goal.

I thought yahoo said filppula was bumped to the first line with pavs and bertuzzi maybe it was just for the islander game

Why is the NHL the only league in sports thats so unclear about its own rules Football/basketball have written legitimate rules for most of their penalties.. In the NHL theres a common term used alot "Letting them play" Meaning some nights they'll call everything and some nights they won't call anything. Theres no other sport thats so unclear from night to night about whats going to be called and whats not. Good point i know basketball also had its fair of ref conspiracys. Maybe i just dont watch enough of other sports but i still think the NHL is the most unclear about its rules. I also remember a charger game where a ref openly admitted that he blew the call and literally apologized for it in the middle of the game.

Why is the NHL the only league in sports thats so unclear about its own rules? Why can players get away with stuff in the regular season but not in game 7 of the SC playoffs? Inconsistency and make-up calls kill the game especially come playoff time. Burrows is 100% right about the refs but i doubt the ref was that blatant when he said that he was going to "get him back"

Big night for filppula is coming

Don't believe it.. but anyways Z datsyuk Bert Leino Filppula Cleary?

Also reminds me of how much i hate the NHL and their desperation to make games more exciting by calling those stupid penalty's that players get away with so much, especially calls like that to cause 5 on 3's in the SC finals. Luckily we have Z.

I think their forwards is full of under-rated players . They have a pretty solid line-up. D looks a little weaker than most teams just can't believe orpik made the team over rob scuderi.

Couple quotes from NHL.com Pavel Datsyuk, Detroit Red Wings -- Nothing seems to slow Datsyuk down. He finished 2008-09 with 97 points (32 goals, 65 assists), matching his career high established one season earlier. He's won back-to-back Selke trophies and will be the perfect pivot for Morozov and Danis Zaripov. Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh Penguins -- After leading the 2008-09 regular season with 113 points and the '09 Stanley Cup Playoffs with 36 points, Malkin will look for the hat trick with plenty of production in the 2010 Olympics. We expect him to center a line between Kovalchuk and Alexander Frolov. Sergei Fedorov, Metallurg Magnitogorsk (KHL) -- To complement this offensive machine, it's imperative to bring some players with defensive acumen; Fedorov is that type of player. Don't forget, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau had Fedorov manning the blue line at times last season. Plus, Fedorov centered Ovechkin and Alexander Semin at the 2008 World Championships in Quebec. I cant imagine seeing datsyuk playing a third line role. It will be interesting to see what the lines actually are.

Only suprise for me is frolov i thought for sure he'd be there. Maybe its because hes kinda having an off year, or maybe i just don't know anything about those KHL guys.

Just curious for what reason was the whistle blown when kessel had a perfectly good scoring chance? Didnt look like offsides to me.

Horrible lineup once again, im going to have to get used to this. As long as the wings don't get blown out, and try hard tonight ill be happy. I have a hunch bertuzzi is going to be added to that long list of injuries tonight for some reason. Also have a hunch that hossa is going to get laid out by stuart.

Lebda hesitates on every move he makes.

Frolov is the only ideal player that holland would pick up if he felt datsyuk needed someone to play with. Kovalachuck is not coming to detroit but for those of you who are having fun playing ken holland on this topic, dont let me ruin your fun.

I never seen a wings player show so much emotion this year like bert did when he scored these last 4 goals, his confidence seems to have been boosted.

Lidstrom seems to be struggling to make that one timer pass on Z's tape.

I miss mule. Bertuzzi doesnt even look like hes trying out there. It hurts to think he'll be controlling the puck that much for the next 3 months.

Those fans seem to be such jackasses.. me and my buddies went to game 4 against anahiem last year and theres just tons of guys bumping shoulders ect looking to start fights. It really was a joke after the game how many brawls there were.

I dont even feel like waching the game anymore after seeing that.. wow

No crap that pass isnt working thanks for the help though smart ass.

pass?
