The stupidest thing I've heard all game is one ofthe commentators trying to say that Datsyuk's goal was all wind. Wind apparently is strong enough to carry you through three defenseman while puckhandling and shooting it through the knees of a moving goalie.

Gotta wait till the first whistle after 10 minutes.

ok thx, i thought they switch during the game, i read this in an article.

That was Pierre McGuire.

So it's not surprising at all.

I am getting tired of the take me out to the ballgame Schtick.... Getting old.

No disrepsect to harry carray but if they wanted that song to be realistic to him shouldn't they pick drunk people to sing it?

Just a thought.. you know he was hammered more times than he was sober.

That was probably Eddie Olzlclvklyckcyk (did I get the number of consonants right?)

I thought that was actually what they did last year too. Horn sounded at the 10 minute mark, no matter what was happening on the ice and teams switched sides. Am I misremembering?

Oh, Pee-Air has been there? I guess I haven't been paying that much attention to those hosers.

I think it was Pierre MacFag.

"as you can see on the replay, he got the burst of wind.... right...... THERE!, and away he went.."

no, I think you're right.

I was hoping for a small blizzard to end the third. That was great fun at last year's game!

Anyone else feel that the commentators for national games make reallya wkward and stupid small talk? I don't remember feeling feeling weird after listening to something Ken and Mick say, but pretty much everything they say tonight doesn't make any sense or is really awkward.

Maybe they changed that so any plays going on don't get stopped prematurely.

No need to get down on all the baseball cross-references. They are playing in one of the most historic ballparks ever (RIP Tiger Stadium).

No, I thought that too.

[edicius 3,269]

If I win that contest, I'll piss myself. Seriously.

Oh god, not the blimp-cam again... *urp*

That's how I remembered it. I was just sounding off to my dad about how that would be that way. Made me look stupid. Oh, well, par for the course.

[VM1138 1,921]

Way to go refs, completely miss the fact that the net is no longer in place and is about a foot or two back from where it should be.

Way to be great, refs.

[puckloo39 5,686]

that blimp shot of the rink looks just like my brother's tabletop hockey game from the '60s, where you put the guys on the surface and the metal vibrated and made them go everywhich way. He had a football game that did the same thing.

[edicius 3,269]

It is more fair this way, considering someone could be on a breakaway and then... BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Horn goes off to switch sides.

[commadore183 103]

Brings back awkward memories, does it

But, yeah, I can do without the blimp-cam. Great for auto racing, but not so for other sports.

Now it seems kinda funny looking back when the Hawks waived Khabbi and tried to trade him because they got Huet and he was this close to going back to Russia.

You mean Penis with Ears?

Come on Hudler, I want a free regular roast beef sandwich at Arby's.

Can you imagine how many posters here would be in an orbit around Jupiter if that were to happen

Oh, the comments... the comments. Must. Shut. Up.
