Bring Back The Bruise Bros

Can you imagine Jody Shelley watching this game? He's begging Laviolette for a spot in the game 4 lineup

Hopefully you didn't see how Rinaldo got tossed. Finished his check on Kennedy. Ejected.

I'm so jealous. Never been to a Wings home game, let alone a Wings playoff game.

Was today the first time they used the glow wands? I don't remember seeing them anywhere before.

There are plenty of guys that will be available this summer that will make us harder to play against that won't be a liability, and I hope Holland realized that a few of those types of players would be nice seeing how Z got treated by Weber. Franzen needs to show up, this is his time of year, and there are better options out there if he doesn't produce in the playoffs. He hasn't been completely invisible, but he hasn't been a difference maker.

Bulls***. And Weber gets a little fine? Orpik gets away with a blatant knee late in the regular season? This league is going to hell. Its obvious Shanny doesn't have the final say in these things.

Yeah I think a lot more needs to be done than just letting Hudler go and Holmstrom retire, and promoting Nyquist. Things really need to get shaken up, as in a big name getting dealt to let the rest know that we're not gonna settle for making the playoffs and choking in the 1st/2nd round every year. I'm not calling for a fire sale, but changes need to be made.

Yeah I wonder if Carkner will be in for game 3. Loved seeing the Skarks get tossed around. Continued today with Philly/Pittsburgh.

Adams pulls Hartnell's hair What a bunch of *******. Letang throwing punches at Timmonen while his jersey is over his head earlier in the game. Neal wants nothing to do with anyone when the refs aren't around. Crosby ran away from confrontation when the refs weren't around, and was a tough guy when he was being held away from Giroux. Had they let the two of them square off, Giroux would've killed him. Here I thought the Pens had at least one honorable guy in Arron Asham, and he goes and attacks Schenn after a clean hit. I love seeing these pieces of s*** kid their asses kicked game after game after game.

This is all Red Wings Addict's fault.

Quote of the day

Carkner asked no questions at all. Props to Boyle for taking on Neil later in the game. The Sens stick to their strategy they've used all year: Late game comebacks. Good to see Neil with the clutch OT goal. Its always the role players this time of year Is it me, or is there a pleasantly high amount of fighting so far in this year's playoffs?

It was good seeing the Skarks get tossed around all game, especially at the end of the game. Sobotka had the chance to really drill whoever he took down. Justin Braun realized he wasn't as tough as he thought when Polak nearly killed him, after he ran away from B.J. Crombeen earlier in the brawl. Earlier in the game, that ***** Pavelski took some bombs from Kris Russell. I really like the style of game that St. Louis plays. Tied the series, and when San Jose tried to send a message, the Blues took the message and shoved it down San Jose's throat.

Face it, NBC. You're never gonna get your wallet back from Dan Cleary.

They should re-enact Weber getting knocked the f*** out by Travis Moen a few years back.

Good to see Bert step in there. Absolutely had to be done. Howard has kept us on top. Still don't like the amount of penalties being called. I think we've looked good. We've played a solid physical game.

For Chicago: Kane-Toews-Hossa Stalberg-Kruger-Sharp Bickell-Bolland-Shaw Brunette-Mayers-Bollig Keith-Seabrook Leddy-Oduya Hjalmarsson-O'Donnell Crawford For Phoenix: Whitney-Hanzal-Vrbata Boedker-Vermette-Doan Torres-Gordon-Korpikoski Brule-langkow-Pyatt Ekman-Larsson-Klesla Yandle-Morris Rozsival-Aucoin Smith Should be an interesting series. Not getting a ton of attention.

"Execute Bettman" has a nice ring to it.

Didn't really feel like a playoff game with all the NBA-esque penalties being called. I agreed with about 5 out the 17 that were called. Both teams fell victim to s***ty calls. Oh well, tough hockey isn't good hockey anyway.

I'm so jealous

So would Weber. Pretty good audition by slamming Z's head into the turnbuckle.

Definitely can't blame the 4th line. Dats had a few chances, but blew a couple key important faceoffs in Nashville's zone late. The refs destroyed the flow. To be honest, only 3 or 4 of those penalties were actual penalties. Say what you want about Homer, but he had a good game. Causing problems in front, and ultimately gets rewarded.

Never worked in the first place. Those "useless 4th liners" on Nashville sure made us look bad tonight. Bourque, Halischuk, Yip, and even that retard Gaustad had good games. First goal wouldn't have happened if Gaustad and company didn't get in on the forecheck and cause the turnover.

Shanahan doesn't have the last say in who is suspended. I'm convinced he is a "puppet". There's no way Orpik gets away with that knee last week.

It's s*** like this that will hopefully make these retards running the team discovet that having a guy or two that would beat him to a ******* pulp wouldn't be a horrible idea. Weber fully realizes nobody will do anything about it. Given the a second chance, he would do the same thing. What the f*** is Gaustad going after Datsyuk for? We all know he can't beat anyone else in a fight. He's there for the draws. ***** won't even fight anymore. Sick of seeing this team get their asses knocked around on the scoreboard, and at the end of the ******* game.
