I think I explained why. It's the same thing, over and over. Oh, if Hasek got the shutout people just would've said how he didn't have to work hard to get it. Dom didn't lose sight of the puck he was just looking to make sure Iggy wasn't going to run him. Dom didn't get enough credit for this... or that... Ozzy has nothing to do with this. Some of that definitely goes on, but Ozzy is the backup, so I don't have to wade through that every single GDT like I do Dom. Look, I don't want to drag this thread off topic. Next GDT if I get sick of it, I'll just put you on ignore.

Actually, you're not. Your moping is ridiculous.A lot of people here are disappointed Dom didn't get the shutout. But whatever. Nothing is ever enough for you. Either he's not praised enough, or someone makes a legit criticism (like him losing sight of the puck) and it can't possibly be true. That's a huge chip you've got on your shoulder regarding Dom. The shutout would've been nice, but I'm guessing he's happy with the W. Back on topic. Woohooo! Great game by the Wings!

seriously loo, I may have to put you on ignore. I just can't take your constant moping and overreacting about Dom.

I love Iginla. But he has a history (at least against the Wings) of lowering himself to goon status when his team his out of a game.

Look for the Flames to goon things up in the third. Iggy trolling for fights to fire his team up.

The game isn't on Yahoo Sports. At least I can't find it.

why go there when we've got the GDT?

*resisting rolling my eyes* Dom is a great goalie, but occasionally he even loses the puck. seriously, god forbid someone say anything even remotely not-superpositive about Dom.

As does Kenny Holland.

Hallelujah! Let that be one of many Dats!

This is the part of the year where he actually performs, remember?

They look a lot alike. Simple mistake.

I don't understand how Fraser isn't reffing the playoffs, but McGeough is.

Did Cheechoo's tooth jump out of his mouth? Maybe the knee on knee wasn't intentional, but it's hard to believe the knee and the elbow were both just unfortunate accidents from Hartnell.

I'm starting to worry a little about Zetterberg's long term health here. (not panic! just a little concern) He's nowhere near the china doll Kronwall is, but it's a little troubling for one of the core players on the team to have a nagging back injury and chronic wrist problems. Hopefully part of him being away for so long was healing this up right and really trying to prevent any flare ups. And Great Avatar Matt. Do you know what the standard instructions are for using one of those? Pull the pin Aim at the base of the Flames Squeeze the trigger Sweep!

honestly you don't come off as any more of a preds homer than any of us would seem Wings homers on the Preds boards. I give you a lot of credit for defending your team here in a civil manner, when you're surrounded by Wings fans who are developing a growing hatred for Nashviille. Honestly the Preds are a team I would probably really like, if not for a couple guys on the roster. And I can only imagine how some of the newer fans must be. It's part of the growing pains of developing a new hockey market. Cheering an offsides because they think a penalty was called, extreme homerism, etc.

All announcers are homers to some degree. Mickey Redmond isn't exactly impartial. But having watched a lot of local broadcasts over the years via Center Ice, Nashville's are easily among the worst. I sometimes wonder if these guys get fined for saying anything remotely negative about the Preds, even if it's true. Like one of their players might actually have committed a penalty. As I said before, it often sounds like they picked a couple drunken fans out of the crowd to be commentators.

day in and day out? maybe. though honestly there's usually only threads here about how dirty the Preds are after one of their player's questionable incidents. Hmm, maybe that is day in and day out. I like tough physical teams, like Anaheim. The Preds just have a few too many players that seem to be involved in a fair amount of these "unlucky" situations.

Haven't seen this hit yet, but it's interesting how even when it doesn't even look intentional, some guys like Hartnell just seem to end up in more questionable hits than most other players.

For the whole season I gotta go with Lids. Zetterberg and Dats are both tied for a very close second though.

We should trade Draper.

If I created a thread titled, "If you love Pavel Datsyuk..." then posted all his playoff stats for the last 5 years, what kind of reaction do you think it would get? Give us a little credit here.

Who do you think will be named captain after Yzerman retires?

The only reason I prefer a tie is it's the lesser of two evils. Not a terribly satisfying ending, I know, but it preserves the integrity of the game. That's why I'd go for the 10 minute 4 on 4 in OT. That and the new rules should help decide a lot more games.
