8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Not a terrible period. The odd man rushes need to stop though. Howard can't bail us out every time. If only Cleary could have buried that one chance he had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freshy 181 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 More quality leadership whining by Toews. Edzo only provides commentary related to the Hawks. Can you imagine if the Hawks score?! He's going to need to change his shorts if his level of excitement at their play so far is any indication of his arousal level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Axe Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Let's put it this way : We saw better first periods this season, but also worse. But the guys need to be better when come out for the second. Remember the 1st game of the year? Ayyyyy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Was Keith trying to keep Al from swinging the octopi? I wondered that too. He shoulda just started swinging away. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliderJeff 11 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 I re-uploaded it with Imageshack, pictureshack doesn't have any nudity restrictions so thats probably why its blocked at your work. hopefully it works for you now.. Thanks, FlashyG! Made it home before the start of the game, so I'm all good now! Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only Cleary could have buried that one chance he had. Cleary doesn't score on chances like that. Zetterberg should have done better on his chance as well. Same shift I think. He went to the backhand for no reason. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 We probably should play less 'pretty' offensively. Tha one rush where both Smith and Franzen tried a deke instead of shooting was bad. Just get it on net and get rebounds. Lots of giveaways defensively that need to be cleaned up. In a way this looks like the start of Game 1, we don't look awful but Chicago's faster and more dangerous. Hopefully we can turn it up in the 2nd and get some sustained offense going. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 I'm still waiting for Kronwall to score. Hoping he does it in this game. And Datsyuk. And Franzen. And Flip. Oh my!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegerkin 189 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Ah Taves (yeah, piss on that garbage name Toews). What a poised captain. As he and Z were talking to the ref, it's ok for Taves to slash Z (albeit minor) while whining to the ref. I certainly can imagine Stevie Y or Lids doing this all the time, because pissing and moaning makes you captain material. 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we beat Anaheim by throwing pucks on net and screening the goalie. Not from making pretty plays. This team can't afford to go back to the style that hurt us all season. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Awful first period in our own zone. They have to get the first goal in this game and start getting more pressure on their D. Or, we just handled the best that "the best team in hockey" had to offer. Now, time to spread our Wings. 4 Vladifan, TheXym, Hockeymom1960 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SliderJeff 11 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 C'mon, boys. Hopefully Babcock worked his "light yer ass on fire" magic and we get out there in the second and play like we did in Game 3 where we controlled the game for the most part. On an unrelated note, does anyone else hate that friggin Fathead commercial theme? I want to punch a midget in the uterus every time I hear it. Ok, not really... I want to punch them in the uvula.

He's going to need to change his shorts if his level of excitement at their play so far is any indication of his arousal level. In one of the last games when the Wings were doing well, his voice got so high our dogs started whining. I just want him to turn blue, choke and puke on his own words. EsPECially when the Wings score. 2 Hockeymom1960 and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
