12/28 GDT: Red Wings 0 at Blue Jackets 1 (OT)

[Broken 16 381]

Finally... A meaningful, retaliatory fight. Sweet. May clocked him good too.

[Guest E_S_A_D]

May landed some bombs there on Boll. knocked him off his feet.

Don't you change the channel during a fight Harold?

May- best signing of 2009.

May kind of reminds me of D-Mac...in a GOOD way!

[Vladifan 680]

Boll had the majority of the blows, but May had the cleanest shot of the bout!

Nicely done.

I hate fighting but DID YOU SEE THAT HIT FROM MAY?! Beeeeaaauuuutiful thing to behold.

[SliderJeff 11]

Umm... is it just my pc or is anyone else getting sped up audio on the justintv stream all of a sudden? It sounds like the Chipmunks.

Nicely done.

It's quality, not quantity.

[Outsider 42]

He's got elbow tendonitis or whatever it's called. I don't know why he didn't have surgery on it during the off-season.

Beat me to the punch.....

However, the reason he hasn't had surgery on it is because it's touch and go as to whether surgery will make it better. Or worse.

Surgery will make the pain better. But it might compromise the functionality of the arm. I don't think Nick thinks it's worth it. He'll probably put off surgery until after he retires. That is....unless the pain just becomes unbearable.

http://www.atdhe.net/ All I did was put this in my browser and went to the red wings and columbus link, and the game came on.

Thanks, this worked great! Now, how bout a red wing goal or two.

Hey ESAD, long time no see attention *****!

If you think I don't like fighting, you don't know anything about me. You can add that to the considerable list of things you're completely ignorant about.

[Vladifan 680]

My prediction: Lidstrom's gonna get a goal. Soon!

[BlueMonk 102]

Wonder if Nick has an injury they're not disclosing.

I see someone else already addressed this but it's clearly taken away his ability to shoot the puck. Nick simply will not shoot the puck no matter what opportunity presents itself. He defers in every situation and if he has an open shot, he stickhandles until he isn't open anymore and has a reason to pass the puck.

[Marty Barry 230]

Good ******* pressure.

[bonan78 1]

I keep hearing what sounds like shots off the goal posts, but I know it's not.

Is that the metal part of the sticks banging together?

I know this may shock some, but why do you hate fighting? It 100% belongs in this game.

[Marty Barry 230]

That makes sense. He keeps starting to wind up and then passes.

I'm starting to think there is some injury situation. He just doesn't look himself, even beyond shooting the puck. The second game against Chicago, though he got better as the game wore on he looked awful (for Nick anyway) and in particular extremely slow. It took him forever to get up a head of steam.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

It's quality, not quantity.

Hence the "nicely done" comment.

[ShanahanMan 473]

another period, another no goal

[Dominator2005 558]

BRAD MAY - WOW

[dat's sick 1,002]

Well that period went by in a hurry it felt like. Not many whistles, lots of back and forth but not many good chances.

Filppula looks good to me. Datsyuk needs to do MORE.

[Carman 387]

Good pace to the period. We need to get more traffic around Mason.

Brad May is awesome.

[Marty Barry 230]

another period, another no goal

For the bad guys also.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

that was May's 151st fight. That's a lot of punches, given and taken.

[Marty Barry 230]

I love this thing you call...May.

This is the reason for May Day?
