I had and still have high hopes for Smith, but wow is he disappointing so far.. 

Why are all Detroit hits consider "taking a run" at a player. It was a nice hit from Abby to Keith's shoulder, just like Keith hit Pavs 2 seconds before.

I don't know, that wasn't a bad hit. Q was low.

Preds up 1-0 on CBJ

I agree, it's just typical fan over reaction.  They've been penalized more than we have today and people are still bitching about the officiating.  I'd say a game with three penalties, two of which put us on the PP, is a well officiated game.  What does everyone want, ten or fifteen PPs?

 

Maybe call what should be called? I don't ever say a word about officiating, but I have to reply to this. How do you not call a too many men, when even Eddie of all people saw it and called it out? That, called correctly, could have potentially changed the current score (the goal happened shortly after our PP ended, we could have still had a 1-man advantage at that time).  But regardless, the players are still responsible for the goal, call or not, so that isn't an excuse. Just saying, just because there has only been 3 penalties called, doesn't mean that they've done a good job. It's the quality of what gets called and doesn't get called that determines whether this guy is doing his job well or not.

Eddie's bias is just so disgusting.

Oh lord jesus it's a fire

Kronner!!

 

Oh whoops

If the team can get everybody healthy I don't see how Babs can justify taking Tatar and Lashoff out of he lineup

 

Even Andersson, they all 3 belong and need to stay.

Well then, just as I rag on kindl....

Kindl's play so far tells me he could very well be the reason the blues score a few tonight.

I'm happy with those ticket prices. I was expecting 2-3 times that price. Now if only I can be lucky enough to get my hands on a pair.

This!

The series is really taking on a life of its own.  In the series against Detroit, Nashville was allowing nothing but perimeter shots and bad angle chances.  In this series, Phoenix has been capitalizing on odd man rushes and prime scoring opportunities.  I remember this goal for instance....



Can you remember Detroit getting prime chances like this?  I really can't.

Now you can blame that on Detroit not being hungry enough, but I look at how hard Nashville played that series.  In this series, they appear to be on cruise control while Phoenix is fired up and ready to play.

You're right, I don't remember Detroit getting chances like this. But I think one of the biggest problems is, Phoenix has been shooting high on Rinne. The Wings would shoot from bad angles and always low. Rinne will always stop those low shots.

Apparently Tortorella's criticism of the Penguins is 8x worse than hockey players intending to injure their opponents

Pretty close. Fixed it for you.

The last tickets I purchased were Game 7 2009 and they blew the Cup and I will not buy anymore Wings tickets unless they are in firm position to win a Cup. I saw the scores of the game at the gym last night and when 10:00 PM est rolled around it said 2-1 Preds I decided to watch CSI and it turned out to be a good choice. I think on Friday I'll watch Grimm and then on Sunday I'll watch the ABC NBA game of the week b/c I am through getting stabbed in the heart by this team!

Yeah, the Detroit Red Wings and their success over the last two decades is a real stab in the heart. Get out of here, you're just a fair-weather fan, if that.
