Bring Back The Bruise Bros

Stream?

Absolutely with a doubt. The person below me thinks that if enough people decide not to attend the next Wings home game in protest of the (Once again) crackdown on the tradition of the Octopi, the NHL will quickly back off the situation.

I'm with you on that. To be honest, Cleary still doesn't look right with the visor on either.

I missed the beginning of Game 3 tonight. Tell me at least one Octopus found the ice at Jobing.com.. The league does this every playoffs. They act like theyre gonna crack down, then after a little resistance from fans, they let it go. Don't they have something else to worry about, like where the Coyotes will relocate to after we sweep em? How long has that been a city ordinance? Probably safe to say more than 10 correct? So, it's been ignored at Wings games for 10 (give or take) years and all of a sudden they decide to start enforcing it? They've always turned a blind eye to it. When some dumbass actually hits someone when throwing it, then we should prosecute. Until then, long live the tradition.

Good solid win tonight. We clearly outskated them. We attacked the net early and often. Ericsson has stuck out in a good way on defense. I thought Drew Miller had a pretty good game. Weird not seeing Lidstrom out there 24/7, though.

Unable to tune in. It's been physical I imagine.

Only got to watch a little of the the second due to work, but we looked good, and Bert is really playing with tenacity lately. He's doing it all out there. A few of the penalty calls were bogus, but that'll happen. Was it a sell-out?

Last guy to hit 300 in a season was Dan Carcillo in 2007-2008 with 324. George Parros led the league with 27 fighting majors. Konopka was behind him with 25. Pretty sure Zenon is a free agent this summer. Good face off guy, c'mon Kenny!

A while ago my girlfriend ordered me some of those bracelet Red Wings "Silly Bands" things, would you be able to count that? I'm determined to contribute!

It's decent, but not the one I was looking for!

Actually, it's neither I cant find it anywhere!!

Another warrior retires from the game.

Can't grow it this year because of work Any other playoff traditions?

Good for Selanne. I'd love to see Anaheim and L.A. match up in the playoffs.

We've looked pretty good today. Guys are winning puck battles, and going to the net, as well as finishing their checks.

I see what you did there.

I was in Lids a while ago and there was this plaid Wings hat. Figured nobody would take it before I got back from the food court, so I hid it. Came back, it was gone. Now I can't find it on the website or anything.

Anyone happen to tune in to watch this one? I see there's been a few scraps in the first period already. I figured this would happen, especially at the end of the year with the Isles out of the playoff race. Power's out here, so I can't tune in to anything Should be another long, tough game between these two squads.

Yeah its definitely inconsistent, but that's NHL officiating for ya.

Gillies tossed him around pretty good, but there's no reason for the misconducts other thsn to send a message. They don't wanna deal with another game that gets out of hand.

These guys just aren't hungry at all. I think there needs to be a big shake up, as well. We need to get younger.

Good thing I can't tune in tonight....

Quiet 2nd period.

Foote was a real warrior, although I hated him growing up. He was the defition of a mean, shot-blocking, shut-down defenseman.

At the same time, that's why instant replay is available, because the game is so fast. In this casem, there is no excuse for blowing the call because you've got the instant replay, and as far as i'm concerned, that kick from Hossa is enough video evidence to overrule the originsl goal call on the ice.
