GDT 1/19: Red Wings 0 at St. Louis Blues 6

[stillwater 186]

When the Wings get outplayed this badly and lose this badly and you're still looking for positives, or "bright spots", you're really a Toronto fan in denial.

Am I the only one that thought the TooToo attempted hit was pretty bad? He launched himself through the air like a missle. If he connected with someone, it might have been ugly.

I wouldn't complain too much about him getting a 10 minute misconduct as we really don't know if he got it for that or what might have happened after that (more likely).

No, you're not the only one. He definitely was taking a flying run at a guy.

But you still shouldn't get a 10 minute misconduct for a whiff like that then jawing with a guy.

Maybe the Wings think the lockout is still going on, and this game is just busy work so their wives won't nag them to fix stuff.

At least Nascar was/is on ESPN. Hockey is dead for now. We are all fans of hockey but we have shrunk into a niche type sport sadly. Thanks Bettman. 3 lockouts in his tenure.

Sure, he left his feet... but he didnt hit anyone...

its only a penalty if he leaves his feet, and actually hits someone.

Its ridiculous that they threw him out of the game for it. If he said something on ice afterwards that warranted him getting thrown out, then sure, but for the lame ass missed hit attempt, to get thrown out, is ridiculous. if he hit someone, and it was dirty, then im all for it, sure, but he only hit the damn boards... thats not a penalty... give me a break.

[Redmist 3]

Holy crap that girl has a rack you guys are right.

[Electrophile 3,554]

I KEEP MISSING THEM! That's the only good part of this game.

Jesus, Kevin. They're just some boobs. Put your pants back on.

[Firehawk 305]

The chick is tryin to hide it...why I don't know . Women know when they sit behind coaches they gonna be exposed. Goodness I love cleavage.

They didn't throw him out of the game for it. they gave him a 10 minute misconduct, which takes him off the ice until the instigator rule kicks in.

1 goal or 1 fight all i ask for

same s***, different pile. with 12 minutes left in the game... its essentially throwing him out of the game.... for nothing.

[GoalieManPat 1,007]

Anyone got a screen grab of the knockers behind Babs? There have been a couple posts but Ive missed them. Need something to take from this game.

[LeftWinger 4,936]

Well, one game down and Franzen has done zipp to begin to win me over... I certainly hoped that our team was better than what we were afraid of last summer.....they look(ed) bad....real bad....

[Zetterling 16]

1 goal or 1 fight all i ask for

i highly doubt it.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

If Quincey challenges Jackman here, and beats the hell out of him, I'll forgive him completely for tonight.

[Marty Barry 230]

Why can't I stop watching?!?! It's like that car wreck on the freeway that you just have to look at.

First star: Jimmy Howard

Second and third stars: The left and right breasts of the chick behind Babcock.

I'm a straight chick and couldn't care less about boobs, but at least it's been something fun to talk about during this mess.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Agreed. Just clarifying they didn't actually kick him out, but yeah, the intent was to keep him from stirring crap up, which unfortunately is exactly what he's currently being overpaid for.

[kherty 3]

Okay, golf analogy. This is like one hole. So we bogied. Let's go onto the next hole and hit the green, right?

(Trying to calm down)

Meanwhile, I'll look for the boobs.

Yeah, this is just a bad beer league game :-)

[brett 1,029]

kronwall cant handle the new responsibility

[gcom007 1,465]

2 penalties from our top defenseman. Excellent.

My point was that you really don't know what he got it for, the vast majority of 10 minute misconduct penalties in my league are for getting in the refs ears a little too much.

The thing is, when I saw Tootoo do that I thought to myself, how does he get away with doing something like that? Perhaps the refs though giving hi the misconduct was something they could do without punishing the Wings by putting them on the penalty kill. Who knows. Not a big fan of it, but I might be able to see some of the logic. Perhaps that call doesn't happen if the game isn't 5-0.

[55fan 5,133]

Kronner looks cranky. Let's channel that feeling, shall we, boys?

Get a bit pissy and go out there and do something.

[LeftWinger 4,936]

Hey, Parise with 2 assts. tonight so far.....
