[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

DIVE!

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

So every time one of our dumbass defensemen turns the puck over behind his own net, you'd call that a bounce for Nashville?

I'd call that sloppy hockey.

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

The bounces are just not going our way.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Yip ran over Howard. At least they called it.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Quincey's night just went from bad to worse.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Ugh...

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Great defense.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Great move by Stuart to move that puck out.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

PK

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Babcock thinks we're doing fine

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.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

The Wings are terrible at picking up the late man.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

What a waste of a shot by Franzen.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

Story of the playoffs for Flip.

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

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

[WCQF Game 5 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Predators 2]

In record time.

[Cammalleri traded]

CBC.

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

[Hossa Smoked]

Kevin Allen:

1 p.m. hearing in NY for Raffi Torres. Don Maloney will be there.

Twitter

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

[Which team will make the comeback?]

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.

[Quenneville fined $10K]

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.

[#7 San Jose Sharks vs. #2 St. Louis Blues]

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.
