skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 The guy I'm playing in fantasy this week has Elliot and I'm up by only 3 because of his two shutouts earlier this week. Hawks need to win for that and for the standings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 IMO the Hawks need to send a message in this game soon. The Blues are playing a little too close to the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Yeah, it's a good, physical game. THIS is hockey! Not the candy-ass tiptoe through the tulips game The Red Wings play on most nights. Rivalries are what make hockey; unfortunately, The Red Wings have no rivalries anymore, mostly because they do not engage in physical play due to the Charmin soft teams Ken Holland has assembled since Bowman's retirement.

WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 Backes asked Bickell earlier in the game if he every plays when they were chirping on the bench- Bickell scores to make it 1-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Right, cause we've never had a physical team since 2002 Yeah, one, and we won the Cup that season. Coincidence? But seriously, name one team that Detroit has had a heated rivalry with since Bowman's departure. Most physical games have been one-sided. I think there was even a players poll a few years back that voted Detroit as the "least hated" team. That's not surprising. Since year 2 of the Babcock/Holland regime, Detroit has routinely had the least physical crop of forwards in the NHL. Outside of Helm (injured), Drake (retired) and Tootoo (inexplicable a healthy scratch against some of the more physical teams?), Detroit has not had many consistently physical forwards. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. But I'm not going to argue about it. It will get us nowhere. Right now, I'm just hoping Detroit will make the playoffs...
