have a point and learn to spell ******.

I'm fine with all of it except Langfag not getting anything. Maybe the refs didn't see it, but the league sure as hell did, and did nothing. 1 game would've been enough for me. peace, esteef

Translation: If you agree with me, I'll throw you a bone. Of course you're in agreement with the outcome, your actual team is unaffected and we lost a starting defenseman. esteef

Horses***! Fine a couple of millionaires money? Boy THAT really hurts them...NOT! McClennan should get more and Langfag should be out AT LEAST a Game. NHL officials = ******* and slaves to ratings. esteef

Not only an atta boy for saying it, but he said it to the right people (hopefully). esteef

There hasn't been this much damage control on the go since Bill Clinton went on television to assure the Bible-belt puritans: "I did NOT have sex with that woman!'' I don't care if he was man of the year, he still did it and it was chicken s***. And since when does a hip check suddenly become a "lowbridge"? When it's on a Calgary player apparently. Let your own stupid Don Cherry contradict himself by explaining what a hip check is...pay attention class! We can go on and on about if it was a butt-end or not, the point is it was unsportsmanlike conduct in the dying minutes of a game which the league indicated at the beginning of the year they would not tolerate. esteef

I can already tell you their argument, "at least Lebda was facing him!"

"jock dropping moves"?

How about every time the Preds make it to the second round...well maybe next year. esteef

QUICK! GET THIS MAN A BEER! esteef

Isn't it past your bedtime?! esteef

First again! Of course you may have to edit this when we find out who is suspended for this game. I fear Detroit will have a steady march to the penalty box after all of this "Kipper getting run" lip service. Either way, Wings win! Wings 6 Douchebags - 0 No shaking hands. esteef

Yep, and they'll probably get more help tomorrow in Calgary with all of this "Wings running Kipper" nonsense. Any touch on Kipper will definitely be a PP for them. We might as well get our money's worth I say, show them what "running a goaltender" REALLY is. esteef

double post, server was hiccupping. peace, esteef

Not picking at you bro, just showing that it does happen. "Burke also said he wasn't surprised that Boogaard and Wild coach Jacques Lemaire didn't participate in the traditional post-game handshake at the end of the series. Burke pointed to Lemaire's absence from the line following the 2003 Western Conference semifinal victory over the Canucks. Risebrough said he advised Boogaard to skip the handshake, fearing that he would be unfairly blamed for anything that might have happened. Lemaire said he stayed away because he was mad about May's punch and upset with Burke for comments he made before the series about the Ducks' superior toughness and strength. "That's the reason why I didn't shake. Very simple," the coach said." from this TSN story from the Ducks/Wild series peace, esteef

Whaddaya know, a Canadian team down in points starts cheap shotting players. (See Burrows slash on Morrow.) Calgary is not alone it seems. I guess that's just how they do it up North. punks! esteef

I don't think it was touched by Zyuzin either. (harold payed me to say that! ) esteef

Happens all the time bro! esteef

He's my MVP so far. Cheers to Cleary! esteef

It was a clean hip check. Lebda's just short so the hit looks lower than what we're normally used to seeing. Most of the time we see the Prongers or the Hatchers of the league throw hip checks. Lebda's 5' 10". Get over it. Anytime a Flame is hit, all of Canada cries foul, but if they do the roughing it's "playoff hockey". Your bias precedes you. esteef

BTW Calgary lawyers, Franzen wasn't even in the damn paint when he was getting hacked by McClennan. He went onto the ice with the intention of slashing whoever was in front of him. Cheap. spin that. esteef

Yes they are.

Everyone in the media is saying it was a clean hip-check. Langkow = turd. esteef
