b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Still spitting mad about it...... CLEAN ASS HIT. Maybe Martin "Injury Magnet" Havlat should keep his head up when he decides to squat on the puck like hen on egg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Horses*** call, indeed. Officially an "interference" call with the puck 2 inches away from Havlat's stick. Cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjgj13 30 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Much apologies to Dan O' on that one, thought he screwed us again, but neither of the refs signaled a call, it was the dips*** linesmen who made the call after he saw Havlat was hurt. Interference really? This proves the call was completely fabricated, if it was charging I might have understood, but interference, puh-lease. It could not have been charging, they never call it anyway!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Was that really a hit to the head? Looks to me as if Kronwall got him in the chest more than anything. Edited May 23, 2009 by titanium2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 What's ironic is that he's had dirtier hits in the past that weren't even called penalties. That was only called a penalty after the fact BECAUSE Havlat got hurt. Good hit by Kronwall - does need to watch the feet a bit. I'm not going to sit here and laugh at a guy that gets knocked out though - tough luck for him. No injuries wished upon the Hawks. s*** happens, hope he gets better and let's hope the Wings pick it up in Game 4 - I'm tired of looking at Quenneville already.

TSM 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Amazing hit by Kronwall. I've been wondering when the neutral ice shark was going to reappear. But with that said, you hate to see a guy get knocked out like that. The worst of it for me was when the other goon charged Kronwall after the fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with that said, you hate to see a guy get knocked out like that. The worst of it for me was when the other goon charged Kronwall after the fact. This is what pissed me off so much about this play. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, but this penalty and the decision to remove Kronwall from the game was based on Havlat getting knocked out, not the nature of the hit. This is just about as clean a hit as you can ask for, unfortunate he got knocked out, but thats life and thats hockey. AND then his own goon jumps Kronwall and bodies fall on his motionless, injured teammate. Real smart. Here's the part of the story where I lose my temper and faith in officiating (like Round 2, Game 3 hadn't quite killed it all): instead of what I saw as clean hit being retaliated with goonery, their guy in the box or at the very least one from each side with offsetting minors, Franzen serves Kronwalls 5 minute major "interference" and we have to play without our number 3 defenseman for a game! Still fuming about it.... the league is honestly doing all it can to alienate the hardcore fan (me among others) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outsider 42 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 Interesting quote from one of the Chicago goons, Troy Brouwer: "After that hit, it kind of sparked guys," said Hawks right wing Troy Brouwer. "We felt it was kind of a dirty hit, so that means we're going to start giving it to their star players and making it tough for them to play as well. Wonder if Babs & Co. read this.....

PavelIsMoney 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 It's so obvious the league doesn't want detroit to repeat isn't it? I mean they do everything in their power to stop us from winning games. So much for my sweep prediction. I'm ******* glad Havlat got knocked the f*** out. I hope all his teamates brought him flowers while visiting his dead ass in the hospital. Clean hit and a 5 minute + ejection. Nice. Did anyone else notice Chicago was on the powerplay the entire first period? Talk about giving a game away. And we still managed to make it to overtime. Oh another thing about that game winner, NICE BROKEN STICK. I'm so sick of broken sticks costing us. f*** it. *Done ranting for now* Chicago needs to burn, in closing.

RedWingsFan4Life 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 What a bulls*** call. I don't know how you eject someone from a game for that without an intent to injure penalty. It was a ******* horrible call but, you would expect the refs to call intent to injure if someones going to be ejected. I don't understand the 5 minute interference penalty when the pucks right next to his skate/stick. Maybe I'm missing something in the new NHL. Ever since the lockout the games went to s***. I guess they want the NHL to become figure skating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSD 10 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 I agree, the call was pretty suspect, seeing the hit it looked clean. I just dont see the overjoy at seeing a player get hurt like that no matter whose team they are on. I know this is your board but show some class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just dont see the overjoy at seeing a player get hurt like that no matter whose team they are on. I know this is your board but show some class. Thanks for preaching. Welcome to playoff hockey. There isn't overjoy for seeing a guy get injured. There is overjoy for seeing our big hitter lay a big hit an a guy for forgetting something you are taught from peewee up. Keep your head up. Unfortunate that he got injured but it's his own damn fault for not keeping his head up. You can't tell me you wouldn't be stoked to see Campbell lay a hit on a Wing like he did Umberger a few years back. That is good old hockey. It just so happens that everyone is bigger, faster and stronger in today's game so there are more injuries. Don't like it, go play the piano. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
