9/28 Exhibition GDT: Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks

[russianswede919293 95]

They took the wording east to west out of the rule. They also said that if it was a last second move then it wasn't on the hitter.

If that is the case it may not be suspendable...

WIll be interesting to see.

they use "lateral" instead:

48.1 Illegal Check to the Head – A lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact is not permitted.

[PrairieDawg 52]

So if Smith gets suspended what happens? I mean he won't even be playing in the NHL.

it is possible they haven't updated it though.

[OzWing19 24]

Going by Shanny's video explanations so far, I think he's gonna get suspended. Not to mention the s*** storm he'll avoid by suspending him lol.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Helm still can't finish... Lol

[South Dakota wings fan 7]

Bang, bang play, but I have a hard time beleiving he won't get some suspension.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Janik demonstrating why he is a AHL player.

[brett 1,029]

lol nice dive toews

Why don't these refs just award Chicago the goal already?

Instead of these new hit rules, they should have gotten rid of this stupid "free hand" rule which has turned hockey into a stupid powerplay fest every year.

******* traitor Hossa scores.

Too bad he wasn't the guy Smith laid out. I would have named Smith my favorite player on the spot.

I just started watching the game at the start of the 3rd..pretty motley crew of guys we have dressed tonight . How were the first 2 goals Conklin let in..the last 2 weren't all that sharp.

3 5 hole goals... but 3 PPGs as well

Haven't even seen the hit but if Shanny doesn'y suspend him the entire hockey world will call him biased for favoring the Wings. Sad but true, plus how have there been so fights yet?!? Like lets go already!

You do know the average team gets 3.54 powerpay opportunities, which is the lowest since 1979. Pre-lockout it was at 4.24.

Direct your hate elsewhere.

I can't stand Chicago. There is not one player on their roster that I like. I hate losing to them, even though the game does not count.

I have plenty of hate to direct. Don't you worry.

How many of those penalties are the annoying "free hand" call?

[Rick D 390]

and here comes the chant...

Cant stand chicago fans.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

awful third period...

Are we not at the lowest PPO since the 80's? So the NHL is in fact not a PP fest like you claim it to be, while it is actually the opposite.

[brett 1,029]

the wings ahl team played great. i think chicago should be embarrassed by their performance

[NvrFrgtRussian5 85]

I can't believe we're paying Ericsson 3.5 million...

But great show up for the young guys and Brunny.
