WCSF GAME 1 GDT: Ducks 2 at Red Wings 3

[Zetterling 16]

That hit is a disgrace. Hudler is one of my favorite players. He could be permanently damaged from that.

Did Hudler make it back????

[RedWingsFanatic 4]

wow.................... it was a play away from the puck, plus it was a direct hit to the head! how is that legal. the NHL has specifically made rules to protect players from hits like that!

you sir dispoint me

Well, first of all, it obviously wasn't a play away from the puck. You can see the puck when Brown hits him. For interference to be called, there has to be a stride and a half taken and I don't think Hudler had gotten that far yet.

And, yeah, it was to the head. But Huds just has to keep his head up in that situation. It's not Brown's fault that he put it down right after he let go of the puck.

I can't believe I'm here defending the ******* Anaheim Ducks. I feel like a dirty human being. We can debate the hit all night but it's not going to get us anywhere. I'm happy we scored on the ensuing power play and I hope Huds is okay. Let's move on.

Right keep his head up from what, it's like me sitting next to some guy and he turns to punch me in the face. I guess I should have kept my head up because I was totally expecting the guy to throw a punch at me.... IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PUCK YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP FROM A HIT. especially a blow to the head. I hope he is gone for this round. I hate playing this team, they don't even try to play the game.

[ChelisChick 174]

Yeah, did you see that smirk? That piece of s*** was still doing it heading back to the bench.

I cannot tell you how much I want to see him break something. On his own body, of course.

I agree. Maybe he'll have a freak torso incident where all his ribs collapse inward and both knees blow out simultaneously. All while sitting on the bench.

Hey, a girl can dream.

[Vladifan 680]

And I hope that Hiller got his freakin bell rung!!!

This is true! He did not have his helmet on after that play, did he?!!

...We can only hope.....

i think hudler was more scared on how bad the cut was(blood covering eye) then really shaken up by the hit. brown should be gone for the rest of the series.

-it was a cheap, dirty hit! peice of s*** brown

Why does Versus keep showing the Pens' OT winner in Game 5 last year?

[MidMichSteve 1,115]

F YES, JOHAN. God I hate that stupid prick Brown.

Do I surmise a new entry to your Duck hate list?

I think "Ducks" is enough.

Hey, a girl can dream.

I shall pray for this tonight.

f***n mule put it to hiller, baried the puck, baried the hiller!

-lets go wings-

[titanium2 867]

Wow, CBC saying Franzen's goal crash was more penalty-worthy than Brown's hit.

Last I checked, Hiller didn't take a direct shot to the head and got up bleeding profusely.

And all those Anaheim fans reading this reaction who defend Brown should be ashamed of themselves.

versus fails

[adampsyche 0]

Pure, seething hatred. Nothing less. My blood is so full of bile right now, I might have to go to the hospital.

Can't believe my hatred level has increased since NOON.

+1million

if a red wing ever did that i would want him out of the game/suspension, never where red/white jersey again.

I agree, cheap shot no matter who it's on!

[Vladifan 680]

Wow, the reactions on Versus and CBC could not be more different on the Brown hit. Jones is all pissed on Versus while all the guys on CBC agree that it was a clean hit.

It's certainly up for interpretation, but in my opinion Hudler was responsible for making it look so bad.

Why? You thought he bled too much?

..jeeeeezusssssssssssss....

[ChelisChick 174]

Huds back on the bench!!! YES!

[EuroTwin 240]

Start of the 2nd!

GO WINGS!

GO REX!

[ilmickeyli 40]

happy huds is back

[Wingman 0]

Incredibly exciting. Not too well played game this far though, hopefully they will be de-rusted by the 2nd period.

Hudler should get a Purple Heart for getting up after that hit.

Niedermayer (Scott) is a heck of a skater.

Franzen...I wanna know what he's eating for breakfast.

The way Datsyuk plays he will get his points in due time.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Huds back on the bench!!! YES!

So, no one died. Therefore, no suspension on Brown?
