10/23 GDT: Ducks 4 at Red Wings 5

[HOCKEY MATTERS 167]

I love the huge goalie debate that is guaranteed at the end of every GDT. People on this forum argue just for the hell of it dont they?

I know. Makes me scratch my head and wonder. I mostly can't even come in here, because win or lose, there's always a goalie debate. I realize that the goalie that played that game is worthy of the thread, but it's the same bunch of folks going over the same tired ground after every game.

We're very competitive here on LGW. There's only so much self-esteem out there and it's every man for himself.

Interesting comments by Selanne. I'm a little surprised he was so outspoken about the officiating.

"He played good for us, he made some stops," coach Randy Carlyle said. "That's two good games in a row. You think we could get more than one power play in this building?"

Selanne also wasn't thrilled with the officiating crew led by referees Frederick L'Ecuyer and Dan O'Halloran.

"It is a joke," he said. "As long as I have played here, it's always happened. You almost know. They get at least three power plays every first period. ... Like 50-50 calls are going to go in their favor. We knew. It's not a secret for anybody. Plus, there's a young referee who's pumped to do the games here. The calls are going to go in their favor."

Should we worry about a suspension for Kronwall?

Suspension for what? It was a clean hit.

Well I mean... Did the Wings get away with a lot of no-calls or something? They don't play the same kind of style as Anaheim, which is more likely to cause penalties than the Wings style, right?

Suspension for what? It was a clean hit.

Seems like anything that involves the head should be a cause for concern. Plus Kronwall has a reputation for leaving his feet and the way he followed through on it always looks bad for him.

It was a north-south hit, not an east-west hit. There will be no suspension.

Selanne has other thoughts.

Anaheim's Teemu Selanne was slow to get up when Detroit's Niklas Kronwall appeared to catch him in the head with his shoulder.

"That guy is dangerous out there," Selanne said. "One of these days somebody's going to get him, for sure. I know that. It's just a matter of time when. For sure his elbow hit in my face. I didn't see the replay but I know how it felt."

That does not matter. All that matters is if he was aiming for his head or not, I don't think he was though even with his shoulder hitting his head first before anything else.

It was pretty comparable to the hit on franzen against Dallas. I doubt it will be looked at.

If the hit on Doughty didn't get a suspension, I can't see how this won would, even in Campbell's f-ed up suspension world.

LOL. Right. Let's not forget that infamous goalie interference call a couple of years ago... not to mention the time that O'Halloran allowed Rob Niedermayer to push Hasek into the net in '07. If not for the latter, Selanne may not have his Cup.

Was Selanne always such a poopy faced whiner? I don't seem to recall that part of his game.

If you're looking for sympathy, I suggest the dictionary. Somewhere between "s***" and "syphilis"

Meantime, the next time I see Pasha, I owe that boy a hug.

he's trying to reinvent himself as an older/wiser (?!?)/thuggier crosby.

Have you ever hugged him?

[stuck in socal 56]

These comments by Selanne are pissing me off. Good thing we only have 2 more meetings left with the Sucks.

Yes.

[BigWinston 15]

I wouldn't worry too much about Selanae's comments. Hardly a classy bunch are they?

[Z and D for the C 712]

Pavs after the interview: "That's it??"

Ahhh, I love this team. Can't wait until the third and fourth line starts chipping in.

He is on the Ducks. For some reason with all the dumb penalties they have taken since the lockout they expect not to get called more.

It's amazing how often it happens. Either way, cry more all the way back to California while we savor the two points we just stole from your sorry asses.
