[bellarina 1]

Anyone able to give quick update?? who scored?

gotta get back to work

He was pushed into Rinne and you're blaming Kopecky for that?

Whether or not he was coming in so fast there's no way he could have stopped. He was like 6 feet from the net going a hundred mph before he was shoved.

[MannyK 16]

why don't the call the GI on the guy who ran into Conks?? psh...

conspiracy theory at its finest

in other news, looks like the Sharks are going to beat the Bruins tonight, up 4-2 with 5:30 to go in the 3rd

[russianswede919293 95]

The push was late and likely kept Kopecky from getting out of the way.

Just rewound and rewatched the play, you guys are right. As he moves to his right he is pushed back to his left by the defenseman, I didn't catch that on the initial play.

[russianswede919293 95]

You have to do everything you can to avoid the goalie. Kopecky got pushed before he was on top of Rinne. He had time to get out of the way. Its homerism to look at it any other way. We'd be calling for X players head had he been pushed, skated a few feet, and then clocked Conks in the head as he fell.

IN defense to Wings homerism, I believe we all let the check on Conkers when he was on his way back to the crease go rather quietly.

While the masses may, I can honestly say I wouldn't. It was close, I'll give you that...but to call it homerism to look at it any other way is a stretch.

He got pushed right as he was starting to break to the right (looked like he was going to drag the puck then shoot it). There's about a half of second of time between the push making full contact and the collision.. and it happened at just a moment to take his legs out from under him and send him on an uncontrollable path to the goalie.

If anything, that should have been a penalty shot.

Good evidence for why you can't split those two, even if the second goal did come on the PP.

[Guest Four]

Ugh >.>

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Damn it

That after a nice slash by Weber

Whooaaa baby!

Its hockey again!

God damn.. one goal game....

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Welcome to obnoxious deflection theater.

[puckloo39 5,686]

ugh... come on, Wings!!

[YoungGuns1340 1]

I hate to say it, but Nick Lidstrom has been standing in front of the net on a LOT of goals against this season. Whats that all about?

[russianswede919293 95]

This is what has been typical of Wings games all season, they get a lead and they have trouble holding on to it, and that is what worries me come playoff time, because that won't cut it. They need to do a better job of staying focused when it looks like they are going to win.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Nik got away with one there.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

A goal right now would go a long way in quieting this crowd.

[Wingsallwin 0]

We now really have to settle down. 2 goal should be the maximum number of goals to be allowed.
