Yeah going to be a tough stretch from them here.

I'd move him up to the #1 pairing, first PP and PK unit. I want to secure Taylor Hall.

Meh, takes 2 to fight. Always next game.

Pretty good effort tonight by the Wing's. Almost pulled it out. Stuart looked great and Helm was flying all over the ice. Osgood made some great saves. Really fun game to watch.

Tardif gets an opportunity with the Williams injury maybe?

That didn't look good at all : ( This night isn't shaping out as I planned at all.

Getting completely dominated tonight. Horrible effort.

Ericsson hasn't been great lately but that's not his fault. He's just pinching at center ice with support. Draper falling and Leino not back checking would be who to blame. Anyways new period let's get em.

Bad period no one played well. Turn it around for the rest of the game wings...

Anyone that thought he wasn't going to fight tonight with a little injury needs to re-educate themselves on Brad May haha. Also "being careful" is not in his vocabulary. He is going to go out and demolish everyone in a blue and white sweater.

Glad to hear he's been released. Hope the best on the rest of his recovery.

A simply eye injury won't discourage May from kicking some @ss tonight. Hopefully Eaves will be back in soon, he's been playing well.

It wouldn't be fair to the other teams.

Honestly Kopecky even being argued as a physical forward for the Wing's is more of a testament to how soft the team was then anything related to Kopecky.

I want Chris Simon.

I disagree. There isn't a player in the world that can aim his shot perfectly. There is luck involved. Not aiming properly is seeing Samuelsson's shot go 20 feet over the net(Although I do recall seeing Bertuzzi do the exact same thing on a 2v1 ), missing a goal by barely a centimeter isn't really not aiming properly in my opinion.

Wonder how we're going to add blackhawks to that...

Haha, good hitter. Nice one. Quantity does not equal quality sir. I'd give he is a serviceable 500k player, that's about it.

Yep, I agree with Stevkrause. Hedman was hung out to dry by Ohlund. Not a big deal though, mistakes happen. Saying Hedman had his head down I don't agree with, several times he looked over his shoulder and saw the goalie in the way screening Neil. Good route and hit by Neil.

So true, Kopecky is like a little brother that tries to do everything that his older brother does, but fails.

I'm going to avoid the Crosby cheapshot comment. I don't think the Red Wing's get the advantage in calls, although since we do control the play when we are on our "A" game it can certainly seem that way to opposing fans.

You have got to be kidding with this post. Calling a whole league crap? Then saying a team is bad because they won games. Then using a double standard to compare injuries of teams. I'm not even going to give this post any credit whatsoever. I'm not saying the Penguin's are the best team in the league, I am saying that calling them bad is completely ridiculous. Just curious where will the end of in the playoff picture? I'll go on record saying they'll be a 1-3 seed . How about you?

True enough. I just don't think him having his head down had as big of an impact as the path Neil took behind the goaltender. I've been in Neil's position and it's great to use that goalie as a screen when there isn't an opportunity for the defensemen to reverse the puck and the goaltender comes back in front of the net where the defensemen is coming from.
