Dirty Dangle

Add Z to the list of giving a s***. It's up to two now.

DIVE!

Howard is the only one who cares. He has 5 pylons in front of him.

In the offensive zone. The Wings had three scoring chances where the puck exploded off of their sticks.

The bounces are just not going our way.

Yip ran over Howard. At least they called it.

Quincey's night just went from bad to worse.

Ugh...

Great defense.

Great read by Flip to break up the cross ice pass.

Great move by Stuart to move that puck out.

PK

Flip had two guys on him. No room to do anything.

Babcock isn't one to call his team out in the press. Never listen to a coach speaking to the media, especially one employed by one of the classier teams in the league.

The Wings are terrible at picking up the late man.

The Preds are doing a great job of keeping the Wings pinned to the perimeter.

What a waste of a shot by Franzen.

Story of the playoffs for Flip.

Now another penalty...this time on Nashville. This is sad.

In record time.

After trading him mid-game, giving him the jersey for free was the least they could do.

Kevin Allen: Twitter In-person hearing with your GM being present? Expect a major suspension that carries over into the 2012-2013 season.

What do the Blues, Kings, and Coyotes all have in common, aside from being up 3-1 in their respective series? 1. Shut down goaltending 2. Suffocating defense 3. Top tier head coaches 4. Young forwards who can snipe It's no surprise that these three teams are on the verge of advancing to the second round.

I read somewhere that Torres decided to delay his hearing until today instead of having it on Wednesday. Probably so that Shanny could see just how injured Hossa is. Also, as I said in a different thread, CBC reported that the NHL held a conference call before the playoffs started with every head coach and GM in which Gary Bettman clearly iterated that there would be a zero tolerence policy in regards to speaking critically of NHL officials and that anyone who did would be severely punished.

The Blues had the players and now they have the coach to get them to play to their potential. Fatty certainly has done a good job.
