FINALLY!!! Dats!!!!

Because we're at home, 4-3 SO win. The Wings are down 3 nothing with 7 and half and score 3 and Datsyuk scores the winner in the shootout.

Embarrasing is probably the wrong word. Good on him tp pick up for his goalie, just the way he acted during it and after seemed.. different to me. I agree with the 2nd part though, you protect your guys no matter what, clean or dirty. I mean, that is hockey.

Haha, alright. Let me tell you something, every player that go's in on the forecheck, is looking for the puck. When a goalie comes out to play it, he's not protected and it's a no-no to bump into him, he got in Espositos way. On the Della Rovere one, he was coming out because of a delayed penalty, got in Della Roveres way while he was going for the puck, and got hit and flopped all over the ice. He made himself look like an idiot. As far as the way Canada behaved? Are you serious? Hedman acting like a baby because his goalie got bumped, and Tendenby jumping on Golubef and pushing his head into the ice, thats embarrasing. What Canada did is what any team would do, play chippy because they know that Sweden can come back, and have to try to finish them off before the last whistle. Regardless of all that, Canada 5, and gold. Sweden 1, and silver.

Phaneuf.

Woooo, Canada further proves that we are the best. PK Subban is the man, Esposito is crazy, Taraves is going #1 and Oh Canada!

Markstrom and Hedman, hahahah. I'd be booing too! GO CANADA GO!!

Maybe a Roberts, Peca or Nolan up front. A gritty depth defenceman for a late pick or something. I'd love to see Kopecky moved and bring up Helm/Downey, but we know that wont happen, unfortunately. Overall nothing huge though, we just dont have the room.

That's actually a really good comparison haha. The Philly/Minny game has been really entertaining thus far, not alot of the defence I thought we'd see from Philly, will be interesting to see how they perform in the 2nd half.

I'm sure everyone knew this would've been the outcome, but wow, 5 turnovers and 4 INT's from Pennington and Miami is kind of surprising.

As for Stuart and Kronwall, I'd pair them with Lidstrom and Rafalski. Just to get some balance defensively, and more hitting throughout the line-up. But dont worry, they'll come to play in the post season, head hunting time begins in April.

Yeah, that Klupov guy... part of the bright future.. I guess maybe if he had scored into the empty net. No bright future for our kids? Maybe you dont know who Evander Kane, Ryan Ellis and John Tavares are. 3 undrafted kids, that played major roles in knocking out that best team since 02. Tavares is bust? Premature? But that's cool, I hope we keep getting busts then, because there clutch when it counts, 5.4 seconds, leading the tournament in goals and points... yeah what a bust.

Pretty good way to open the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see if the Cards defence and running game can play against a tougher team then Atlanta next week. Wonder if LT will be ready to go next week aswell, and hopefully tommorows games are good too. I'd say Baltimore and Philly get the wins tommorow.

Greg Campbell was giving it to Crosby pretty good all game before this, McLean started running his mouth at him too. Crosby ripped him around pretty good, if he had thrown any punches at all he would've pummled him, I honestly dont know how you can get that mad, and then not throw any decent punches..

I'm sure that had some influence, but Perry was a dirtbag in junior as well. He's just living up to potential in the NHL

Hell yeah. Tonight was awesome for entertaining sports games.

He's lucky Mike Richards wasnt on the ice, or he would've had his head taken off!

:lol: GMR, you kill me.

Nope, the game was over well before the shootout started. I got to see 3 highlight reel goals and you only got to see one! nah nah nah nah

Wings and Canada win in shootouts, good night for me!

Come on Ozzie!!

Haha! Nice try Burns.

THAT'S OLD SCHOOL PAVEL!!!

That was close... but it was saved.

I love Jordan Eberle, Sweden your next!!!
