Wingsor

strange how both Forsberg and Lindros, who were both traded as rookies from Quebec to Philly, and Philly to Quebec....both ended up so injury prone over their entire careers, yet they were so heavily anticipated and marketed.

It's one thing to smart over a stinging loss to a long time rival, its another thing to make excuses, attempt dirty plays and be a hypocritical liar. The ever amazing Forsberg had the nerve to say fellow countryman Samuelsson " Samuelsson sold the call definitely. He's laying there on the ice and I barely touched him" I didn't realize I hit him, Forsberg said. But I guess he was bleeding so I guess I did hit him, so I have nothing to say. If he's bleeding, it's four minutes. I didn't think I hit him that hard. In the report WINGS-AVS REPORT it mentions just before these quotes that "Forsberg was assessed a 4-minute penalty for high-sticking Samuelsson, who lost a tooth" Well lets see, he was bleeding, lost a tooth, but you think he embellished it and you have nothing to say...like sorry, or i didn't mean it? Arrogant jerk. Also Forsberg should never be talking ever about a diver, even if he's correct...there might be a tad hypocracy in his criticism. The Floppa thing is typical, BUT this Sakic thing really caught me off guard. -THE MAIN POINT OF THIS POIST- DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS? I wish I had recorded the game so I could have posted the incident on Youtube. I have always liked Sakic but I caught something out of the right corner of my eyes somewhere around the beginning of the third period in game 3 vs. the AVs. Datsyuk was skating towards the boards and Sakic looked right at him, sped up without taking his eyes of Dats...and stuck out his knee as Datsyuk swerved out of the way to avoid the dangerous collision. I rewound it in High Def 3 times with friends over, and none of us could believe the play, and the fact noone on TSN said anything about it. I initially thought i had seen it wrong, but upon review there is no room for error, this was deliberate. It may be out of character, just like the AVs recent 3 game performance, but that is no excuse for an attempt to injure. Also someone needs to stop Foote and Laperriere from the cheap shots from behind and the cross checks and high sticks...even the guy on TSN (who hates the Wings) said, "Adam Foote just got away with a flagrant high stick? Get out of here, not Adam Foote?" (sarcasm) I know its not nice to lose, but you shouldnt act like a loser in doing it. GO WINGS!

Since there was no injury...lol a little...however if he had connected and taken Franzen out for the playoffs with a bum knee, he should have a suspension...and maybe one fight coming to him from a similar player... I do feel this was deliberate, however its just one play in an otherwise exceptional career. I havent lost all respect for him or anything....i just am pissed at this incident and hope it doesnt resurface. I think Joe must be extremely frustrated and acting out of character. My mistake, I guess it was Franzen, not Datsyuk.....but right now Franzen is our MVP, it would have been disastrous if he had connected. Ths FOX Detroit feed was from the other side of the ice than TSN i think. It was far more clear, close up, and from the opposite side of the ice maybe on TSN. On HD we rewound it and we looking right at Sakic with his knee coming right out at Franzen....but whatever, noone was hurt, thats the main thing. I would like to think it was a harmless play, but watching Joe lining him up from across the ice last night in HD, it looked like there was nothing but deliberate action. Overlook this one, but if there is another similar attempt, even if he doesnt connect...bye bye respect for one of my fav players. No goon tactics on either side.....Wings in 4!

I wish I could tell you. I usually record every playoff game on my Bell crappy PVR, but last nights game started in crappy regular resolution on TSN's alternate feed due to the OT between Dallas and SJ on the main TSN feed and I didnt bother recording the remainder of the game that was in HD. I would have to say maybe between 5 minutes to halfway through the third? On the screen Datsyuk was travelling from the center of your screen toward the bottom and to the right so as to change lines. Sakic was near the blue line, entering center ice...at a slow speed...he looked at Datsyuk taking his time going over to the bench. Sakic sped up, watching Dats the whole way, and upon getting 3 feet from him starting turning toward the left of your screen with his left knee stuck way out. Datsyuk then did his little body deke and got away from the knee barely. The puck had left that area of the ice already by 3 seconds or more...which would have made this interference at best...and a knee to knee might have been costly. I just couldnt believe super Joe would do something like that.

LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so a contract with golf, a typical game, is more meaningful in canada than an nhl playoff contract with the presidents trophy winning team? disgusting both by tsn and bettman for making our game sink to such levels.... although its funny american channels get it more right that we do.

some dude in India, asnwering bell canada's phone told me 402 just turned on an alternate regular resolution broadcast of the game until TSN smartens up, and turns on the hi def broadcast on 850 when golf is done. go figure, the TSN (toronto sports network) decides to watch golf balls and palm trees over playoff hockey...gee is it cause its red and not a blue team playing? thanks for the heads up man god, how the hell is bell canada's phones being answered in India... god do you think when Indians call their satellite provider for Cricket updates, they get someone in Toronto? DAMN CANADA

WAY TO GO FRANZEN. CANADA SUCKS, HOW IS HOCKEY A CANADIAN SPORT, but tsn isnt covering the Wings game, especially since its listed on bell satellite as supposed to be on...GOLF INSTEAD....frickan morons AND I PAID FOR HOCKEY CENTER ICE, i should be getting every game whether every arena is packed or empty. if it doesnt sell out somewhere, give me my money back from the game that isnt being broadcast ...i dont pay to watch a black screen. meanwhile they have the montreal game on 7 channels on bell satellite. Its bad enough i pay twice as much for center ice as in the US, and dont get the pregame, they substitue commercials for incompetant canadian low def commercials, hardly any wings games in hi def, even though they are in hi def in the states, and they never let us ever watch the post game... F U BELL, F U CRTC...canada sucks

i agree, i like buffalo, and like their new uniforms, and alot of the players they've had their over the last 5 years. they were an exciting dark horse almost every playoff year...but this new stupid CBA nhl hasnt helped them much either i fear.

OF COURSE!!! He has to play with the Wings. He is Zetterberg's long lost taller brother. Just look at them both, the likeness is uncanny!

YOU GOT IT! Kingsville is a great little Wings town, right next door to Leamington, the home of Darren McCarty! Which I spent alot of 97 and 98 summers going to jose's noodle factory just to see the chalk drawings of mccarty all over the place, including the famous turtling of claude the fraud. go Kingsville! a vote for kingsville is the closest you can get to voting for the wings. Hope you guys win. Have my vote!

I just heard this on AM800, still in shock. I live in Windsor, and noone knew anything about him having a heart condition. This is tragic. It was a family day of sorts here in Windsor today, of al l days. I imagine we are all very lucky as Red Wing fanatics, that Jiri F. didn't actually pass away on that dreadful night vs. Nashville. Very sad day for hockey. RIP Mickey, you'll be very very greatly missed. He left with his team in first place.

okay that was one of the saddest things ive ever read... still choking up damnit life can be cruel sure makes our loss a couple nights ago seem insignifigant thank goodness they won for him now win the cup for him GO SENS GO!

hope the sharks annihilate anaheim at every turn next year

GO SENS DUMB A$$HOLE DUCKS

lol, maybe she'd be a good backup 'minder

lol im not attacking you, but still its true i like jiggy, would love to see him in red one day, but the shoulder pad and oversized jersey is over the top hes a good goalie, he shouldnt resort to such things.

jiggy owns all Michelin Tire stores, and apparently springs shops too, nice ELEVATED (with springs) shoulder pads...way to get around the current rules...way to cover the entire top of the net, and add depth to the back of your pads when crouching over...good for you...you did the math...lol Kolzig is right....Giguere is a pipe! hes more inflated than rosie o'donnel eating baked beans.

nothings over till the REFS decide it...ala letting them rip us off a game pitchforking Hasek into the net for a fake goal...ala ripping us off another game with bogus calls at the end of game 5.... trust me the refs say its over whenever we get momentum, or a chance to win. DAMN REFS We can still win, but if will be despite the refs. if we dont I hope Ottawa pulverizes these quackers...but Ottawa better be prepared for bad reffing against them. I think we still have a chance though. IM PRAYING THE HOCKEY GODS will stop screwing us. Let those posts and through the creases go in. And stop the bounces going in against us...god, this isnt 2003. CMON Jiggy, pull a statue of liberty for us.....would that rock!?!? CMON WINGS LETS GO RED WINGS! Somewhere a really fat lady is getting ready to step on a duck!

F U BS...this is so BS

Come on boys, if we win this game and series we have home ice in the finals! ZETTERBERG or BERTUZZI will score in the third. 2-0 wings!

NOW THASSA SPICY MEAT A BALLA!

Homer almost played with a bleeding eye, HE MIGHT BE BACK!

TSN about 10 minutes before the hit.... "Pronger holds his stick then holmstrom holds prongers stick. pronger is furious, he's going to snap" PROOF OF PREMEDITATION dirty players needer brother, marchant and pronger...cheap cheap cheap i mean quack quack quack GOD I HOPE HOMER IS BACK FOR THE NEXT GAME....
