GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 If the goal of the lockout was to make hockey unwatchable, I would say they did a fine job. All of these penalties every single game is ruining the entertainment value even more. Over half of each period is just spent on special teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 Worth mentioning again. Detroit is the only team in the league without a first period goal. It's a problem for us. Gotta stay out of the box would help... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tr!PoD#19 524 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 Is Miller told to stand still like a pylon on the PK? Emmerton has done a good job so far. Still too passive for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 Worth mentioning again. Detroit is the only team in the league without a first period goal.Makes sense, all our 1st periods have been awful. This was maybe our best and that says it all.Kronwall needs to move his feet instead of taking penalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Not sure why the Dallas player kept his visor on when they squared up. Especially when he knew all the punches would be coming upward from below! Dillon connected on a lot of those upper cuts and rocked Tootoo, but then Toots frikin refocussed instantly and kept it a fight. At 5'8, he's all balls and biceps!

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 Loved the 2nd Tootoo fight. I always wondered why more players don't fight like that. I always though being that in a hockey fight it is hard to land a head shot, and even if you do, it is easy for the player receiving the shot to simply turn his head causing you to punch his helmet and f*** up your hand, why wouldn't you go for the body? Anyone that has even been in a real fight knows that rib and kidney shots hurt like a *****. Surprised we don't see more of these type of fights, especially from smalled cats like Tootoo. And you know it was effective. because you could just see the cat Tootoo was hitting start wincing when he started getting punched to the armpit, ribs and kidneys, and he flipped out and started to retaliate in kind.

Probably has to do with padding. Although, there have been certain fighters in the past that have used body shots more than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Probably has to do with padding. Although, there have been certain fighters in the past that have used body shots more than others. Thats the "***** in the armor" as it were though. Remember last game when Mule took a stick to the ribs and stright went down for like a whole minute? And that didn''t even look like that hard of a stick, just that it hit right in the ribs where there is no real padding. Edit: WOW.... the curse filter here is completely out of hand apparantly. I assume you all are aware of the completely unoffensive phrase I was referring to though. Edited January 30, 2013 by sleepwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
