Firehawk

how many times have we seen this, where we pepper a team all period with nothing to show for it, then lose?  God I hope we are on the other side of that this time!

i switched to CBC, way more tolerable.

Right on schedule boys . Don't blow this one.  You have had 2 games to learn.  Keep this one.

after seeing the replay of that penalty that was pathetic, complete and utter embelishment.

In my opinion, that's a goal Howard has to stop. Cleary took the ice away, so the shot was going up somewhere.  Howard was out of position, and Fil blew the defensive coverage.  Frustrating.

All of you guys should join the chat during the game if you plan to be around the forum.  It's nice chatting during the game!

If this game goes into OT I'll throw up.

I'm gonna just try to sit back and enjoy the game tonight, and not get too wrapped up either way.  That's hard though. 

I had no expectations this year, just hoped they made the playoffs.  So if we win, that's fantastic, if we lose, well, the young'ns got valuable experience and my expectations will go up for next year.

But oh boy would that be wonderful to take on Chicago!

Haven't seen Selanne out there in awhile either...

Ducks standing arround a little....we need to get the lead, really put it on the ducks here...

We are very lucky we aren't facing a 3-0 deficit right now . A goal post and a perry gaffe and it is 3-0.  How many of those close calls have the wings had?  ZERO.  In fact, nothing even REMOTELY close to that.

I don't get how Redmond is saying Hiller is starting to be the story of this series.  It isn't like wave after wave of high powered red wing offense is coming at him.  In fact, there hasn't been one crazy acrobatic save in 2 games yet.  Unbelievable.  This means the wings are not getting clean opportunities whatsoever.  This is a testament to our s***ty play, and the ducks' great defense.  They are really taking any time and space away from Detroit, all over the ice.

If that keeps up, we're not going to score another goal in this series.

We really haven 't even been close to scoring yet tonight, it's pathetic.

No 5 minute boarding major and game misconduct?  Must be because the player got up...

The NHL sucks.

Anyone watching the end of the ottawa/montreal game?  Did you see the mon player slap shot the puck right at an ottawa player/bench?  It hit an ottawa player also...but since nobody was injured, that won't be reviewed.  That could have been very serious.  What if he hit somebody in the head?  He obviously had intent to hurt somebody there.

But oh, nobody hit the ice, no calls, no nothing. 

That kind of thing will get someone hurt/killed.

Now, that montreal player just obviously tried to fire the puck as hard as he could at an Ottawa player.  How isn't that a suspendable offense?  Becuase nobody got injured?  Because it didnt' catch somebody in the head? 

Sorry, still ranting lol.

But seriously, now that should be looked at and some kind of punishment given.  He obviously turned toward an ottawa player and slap shot the puck right at someone. 

Anyone else see that?

I don't like at all that the fact that there was an injury is one of the key points that was used to determine the punishment.  That's why people get so frustrated.  Who cares if the player got seriously injured or jumped right back up?  That should be irrelevant.  Players are getting whacked int he head all game long, it's just a matter of whether or not the player getting hit stays down or gets injured.

Homer got his ass beat every game but because he was in front of the net, that was an acceptable location to take a beating. 

Just maddening .

I guess Kronwall should be suspended infinite games with all the similar hits he's put on players, just like that.
