GDT 2009 Winter Classic: Red Wings 6, Blackhawks 4

If that was us, Byfuglien would have gotten called for goaltender interference.

[Datsyerberger 279]

Okay, we can come back from this crap. Lets play some 5 on 5 and get settled in.

If they let us. Wasn't the last Winter Classic penalty-riddled too?

[egroen 384]

Amazing how much slower the game is with this ice.

[Datsyerberger 279]

Chicago is really physical right now.

Wings no shots on goal. Lucky Huet. This will change, one hopes!

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Couldn't they get better camera positions? I feel like I'm watching the game from Iowa.

[edicius 3,269]

Wings PP, Eager off for slashing.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Powerplay!

[Guest Shoreline]

Wow Wings PP?.

[commadore183 103]

Wings PP! Let's tie it here boys!!!

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Suddenly a power play.

[Datsyerberger 279]

Chance to even it up with a PP of our own. Hi, refs. Can we get 2 minutes of ES without a penalty during this? Thanks in advance.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

what exactly was the penalty on the Hawks?

I feel like the refs are overexcited and want to get involved or something.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

They better call that

[Guest Shoreline]

This should be another penalty against the Hawks for jumping on Holmstrom well after he fell.

[edicius 3,269]

Okay, there better be some Chicago penalties after that garbage.

[puckloo39 5,686]

so, Huet and Co. get to deck Homer, just for being where he's supposed to be? Nice.

Make 'em pay, Wings!!

[ZETTERBERGPWN 2]

oh crossbar

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

That looked like a post

[commadore183 103]

Got a few chance on the PP, but nothing to show for it. 1-0 Hawks still.

[BlueMonk 102]

I don't know what a single one of the penalties has been for so far.

Slashing on Eager.

And meanwhile, Holmstrom gets tripped/tackled and when there SHOULD be a penalty, there isn't. We know who's officiating this one? I haven't looked at NHL.com yet.

Blackhawks playing like they have a ton to prove. Although I dunno what creating after-the-whistle scrums will accomplish.

[puckloo39 5,686]

I am glad to see the Wings stand up for Conklin. He's been run over at least 3 times so far.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Seriously. They aren't visible on the ice and the replay crew either is just as clueless or aren't doing their jobs.
