11/25 GDT : Red Wings @ Devils : 7:30 PM ET

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Larkin!

[DickieDunn 2,571]

Do I recall correctly that the Wings let Jim Bedard go elsewhere this season and brought up someone from GR as goalie coach?  I think that might have been a mistake...

Bedard needed to go. They just need to stop using GR coaches as heir apparents and actually interview people.

Larkin looks more like Stevie Y with every clutch goal...

Sounds like a goalie we've had.... Jimmy Howard!

Man what happened to the confidence junkies like Patrick Roy and Dominic Hasek in this league.

Quality tendie work out of Abs, give him the pads.

[kickazz 5,459]

Yeeeee Larkin 

[puckloo39 5,686]

good goal... I am shocked.  Offsides is so 'subjective' I thought sure they would disallow that

 

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

That's onside.

Not even close. 

[jonathan.hightower 8]

Not even close. 

Please... I think back to Stevie's first three years on a very crappy Detroit team; there are a lot of similarities in his moves in addition to how he handles the puck combined with his positional play at Center

Well, we aren't losing. I'm still confident we put up 5.

There really needs to be a deterrent to these challenges.  If you lose the challenges it should be a delay of game penalty.  Why is it delay of game if you ask a ref to measure an illegal stick, but not for delaying the game for these reviews.  There's no consequence, particularly late in games, to challenge other than losing a timeout or the potential to challenge later.

When was the last time anyone had a ref measure an illegal stick?  Back when BobRouse was actually playing?

You're right... and crafty coaches like Hitchcock will use it to derail the other team, without actual consequence.  I totally agree on DOL for a failed challenge.

2002 Stanley Cup playoff game vs. Colorado.  Measure this, Hartley.  - Dominik Hasek

I thought they got rid of the illegal stick rule?

I agree with this honestly. In the NFL you lose a challenge you lose a timeout. There should be the risk of penalty when submitting a challenge. 

For me, the challenge system really hurt the pace and intensity of the NHL playoffs last year and it was mildly upsetting.

Perhaps because of the deterant of receiving a penalty! No, you don't see that anymore, but it does not mean it's no longer a delay of game. The point is there should be a more tangible consequence for losing a challenge than the current system.  And Bob Rouse always played within the rules of the game.  No illegal sticks necessary for Number 3.

Well the Avs tried it on Hasek in the 2002 WCF, but lost...that might be the last one I remember

[LeftWinger 4,951]

So maybe we'll see Coreau at the dance soon?

FWIW, there goes Jimmy's trade value. 

[RedWingsRox 614]

This team is so so s***ty!

It was a beauty, though.  I can't stand weasel-lips Hartley, and rumour had it that Hasek punked him on that challenge.  I have always hoped it was true.
