cjm502 165 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Not a good fight by either side. Schenn was just trying to force him down to the ice the entire time, and Abdelkader just failed at overpowering him. Not much you can do about that. Besides that, holy s*** thats what I call a hip check. Edited October 3, 2010 by cjm502 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Great frickin hipcheck. Schenn won the fight, but pfft, what was he doing? Trying to maul him to the ground while throwing wild lefts? Jeez, and I love Abby. Looking forward to seeing him do that alot this year (the hitting part, and the fighting but maybe not the dumb powerwrestling by Schenn).

wingfan13 44 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Because got an extra 4. Ahh...good. I wasn't able to watch the game and the announcer in that clip said no one got an extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 I want to know why Schenn didn't get an extra 2. Yeah. Great clean hit, and he engaged the fight. Also why whats his name didn't get an elbowing penalty on Coatzee in that replay they show in that vid. Wings got handles on the scoreboard, but I loved what I saw from the team (didn't see the whole game). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SDavis35 140 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Quite possibly the best hit I've seen in years. Clean, solid and took his man out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Since his 09 playoffs, Abdelkader has been growing into one of my favorite Wings - his work ethic, spirit and desire to always add elements to his game continues to impress me... that was a PERFECT hip check and the fight was really a wrestling match due to Schenn, but Abs form looked greatly improved... the boxing lessons and the training with May seems to be heading him in the right direction when he does fight...

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Just Schenn's manner at which he instigated it... I thought Armstong should have gotten the extra 2 if anything... to be honest, I thought the unsportsmanlike was a little overkill, they already gave him the instigator...

newfy 695 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 I would hardly even say Abby lost that fight, if you look they both land about the same amount of punches then Schenn gets the take down. Abby is going to be a Dallas Drake clone. 40 points, some fights and some big, sometimes dirty hits. I love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest scottj Report post Posted October 3, 2010 god.. i was watching that fight n was hoping that they could actually get some good punches in instead of schenn holding onto abby trying to wrestle him down. obviously if there was a winner it wasn't abby but that was hardly a fight imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Great hit. Wrestling match doesn't count as a fight. 19 minutes of penalties for huggytime has to suck. What was the unsportsmanlike for? Retaliation on a clean hit. I think that's something the NHL is trying to cut down on. Don't be surprised to see more of those in addition to instigating on these lameass clean hit retaliation scrums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 From Toronto Star: ...Schenn also took on Detroit’s Justin Abdelkader in a lively third-period scrap. Schenn toppled his foe, but took a pair of minors, a five-minute fighting major, and a 10-minute misconduct. They conveniently left the "why" out of the account. From Toronto Sun: ...Schenn not only recovered from a back injury in time for the game, he was at his best positionally and even tried a solo rush. Taking exception to a low Justin Abdelkader hip check, he also won the ensuing fight ... It's nice to see Schenn being noticed by the print media again.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 good hit by Abby. He got there a tad late (not a late hit, but it would've been cleaner had he got to the boards and not got Schenn in the leg). Still a good hip check though, and good to see him sticking up for himself. It just shows what's exciting about Abby, but also how the Wings won't be relying on him for fighting.
