WCSF GAME 1 GDT: Ducks 2 at Red Wings 3

[EuroTwin 240]

Jones is furious.

[ChelisChick 174]

Jones is pretty pissed about the Brown hit

It's nice to see for a change. About time.

[Zetterling 16]

Dear Bettman,

Take head shots out of hockey.

I guess I'm the only one here, but I still think Brown's hit was legal. It was hard and nasty, but I don't really have a problem with it. Huds had barely taken a stride before he was knocked. He has to keep his head up during instances like that. I hope he's alright, but I'm probably pretty upset about that penalty if I'm a Ducks fan.

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

[RedWingsFanatic 4]

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.

[esteef 2,679]

Wow, Jonesy is actually saying that Brown should get a Brashear-style suspension.

"He will NOT be back for Round 2. That was the last play you'll see from him this round."

Boooooooooooooooools***!

esteef

[Vladifan 680]

My most hated NHL players are those 3.

Only other one I'd add is Jackman.

[redwings4life 3]

I'm gonna be interested to see how long if any suspension is coming

[Vincanni 1]

Personally don't think Brown's hit was nearly as bad as Brashear's but seeing it again he should likely miss more than tonight's game, that's for sure.

[Shaman 713]

Brown is gone, they are really looking to make examples this year, and hes gunna be one.

[Cern 0]

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

[ChelisChick 174]

Had nothing to do with whether his head was down or not. It was the fact that the puck was long gone is the issue. Brown raised his arm and got him right in the head. Head down or no, you don't take shots to somebody's head, with or without the puck.

[Zetterling 16]

Yeah Brown is done. You can't do that shizzit.

[drfnr14 0]

oh a suspension will def. be coming

It was a headshot, and it was nowhere near the puck. How that that NOT be a penalty?!

[ChelisChick 174]

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

Glad I'm not having to listen to that crap.

[edicius 3,269]

Now let's see if we can get Pronger suspended too.

[Vladifan 680]

And Pronger smiles about it.

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.

[Matt 1,049]

Wasn't really impressed with the first period overall. Wings seemed to come on a bit late but there is some obvious rust out there. Need to bring the body more (was much better late in the period) and stay on their assignments. Anaheim should've made it 2-0 if it weren't for that goalmouth whiff.

Osgood really looked to be fighting the puck early. The Wings need more shots, less cute stuff (looking at you Datsyuk and Hossa). Get those pucks on net, etc., etc..

I think they'll get their legs back and get better as the game wears on here. No mistakes!

[Xitium 272]

Vs announcers say bad hit and gone for the rest of the playoffs, and CBC announcers say clean hit. How can you not see Brown following through with his stick?

[KrazyGangsta 79]

CBC should be called CBG = Canadian Broadcasting's Garbage.

[SiLkK19 67]

IDk but Hudlers reaction was pretty scary getting up, man I'm so furious at that POS brown.

[Statts 4]

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

I can agree with that. Hudler was admiring his pass. Regardless if the hit was legal or not you never do that.

Dear Bettman,

Dear Bettman,

Take your head out of your ass first, then take head shots out of hockey.

[greenrebellion 415]

We'll get it going in the second, have faith.

I'm going to my neighbor's house who has an HD tv to watch the rest of the game. I'll catch up with you guys at the end.

GO WINGS!!!
