Iginla can hit Zetterberg as much as he wants. That's the game of hockey. What isn't the game of hockey is Iginla grabbing Zetterberg's jersey and bitching after Zetterberg lays a clean hit. Hank isn't a fighter.

Here's a link to Iginla's fight with Hatcher. I give Iginla credit for going at it with Hatcher but who could forget Iginla straightening out his visor before they got into it.

I didn't realize how much bigger Bertuzzi is than Iginla. He has a few inches and a good 40 pounds. That won't stop Iginla though. He's a tenacious guy and fights proudly with his visor.

Tell whoever it might be on the other end I say nice goal last night.

Can you beleive Brad Stuart? What a chicken s*** -- grabbing Cleary while the ref was holding him. Then there's Captain Visor trying to get something going with Zetterberg. Oh, and how about Phaneuf trying to take Zetterberg's head off? Sore losers.

Most likely he'd be playing with Lang and Calder.

Yes, this was only one win but let's be honest: this was the Wings first great playoff game since 2002. They took control of the game last night and limited Jarome "The Playoff Monster" Iginla to no shots on goal. The Wings had more shots in the second period than the Flames had all game. They had more hits (37) in a single game than they've had all year. I think I speak for everyone here when I say it feels damn good to see that kind of game frmo the Wings. It's a huge weight lifted off of not only the team's shoulders but the fans' shoulders as well. The Wings came out flying and didn't let up. Their forecheck was awesome and the teams that fell apart and died in past playoffs were nowhere to be found. Everyone was physical, guys were blocking shots, and the defense played great. Hasek was sharp. How great was it to see Zetterberg hit Iginla? Then Captain Visor tries to pick a fight with him and goes to the box. It was a great feeling and I hope they can keep it going. It was only one game though. In the games he played this year he crashed the net and didn't shy away from contact. That's all the Wings need from him.

Is that a joke? Franzen was excellent last night. He created offense and was hitting the Flames hard.

Thanks guys.

Go away.

What is Playfair talking about? You can't go hard to the net with the new rules? Oh, I see. Sorry, Jimbo, but Holmstrom has gone to the net and planted himself in front of it in each of the 78 games he's played this year. Thanks for playing though.

Hudler was great tonight. He was going into high-traffic areas and was even a little chippy. I'd prefer Sammy to sit but it's probably going to be Hudler.

Then we turn the Naslund and Bertuzzi package around for Crosby! If they don't like it we can throw in Lilja and a pick!

Alright, it's working now. Check it out.

Hmm, it was working at around 9:45 and now it's not again. YouTube might be having problems.

Alright, after three hours it's on YouTube. Take a look.

Excellent game by the Wings. I haven't seen that type of game from them in the Playoffs for a while. Zetterberg was great in his first game back. The Flames are sore losers.

Schneider!

Pavel!

Great save.

Ouch, Kipper just robbed Holmstrom.

Very solid period. Let's keep it up!

Ugh, Mcgoo sucks.

Filppula has been really impressive.

The youth is stepping up so far.
