OT: Red Wings and NHL open thread
So far I'm watching Montreal vs Boston. That crowd is really amped. Great thing is, CBC and VS have different games on. I also get Philly vs Buffalo.
Pittsburgh vs Tampa is also on, but I don't get that.
Wings vs Phoenix at 10:30 of course!
GO WINGS
Let's go Buffalo!
Hope the Wings demoralize them early and take whatever life the 'Yotes have left.
Damn western conference.
winging it in motown and check out his realligning proposal
Well this is sucking so far. Unreal atmophere in the Bell Centre though
3-1...the habs are making a comeback...Cams had awesome assist.
crowds for hockey and concerts.
Odds on Phoenix getting another 5-3 tonight?

Yes they do!

Pittsburgh the least classy team in the league (more so than Anaheim).
Kunits will be suspended and should be in my opinion for a long time. 5 games at least that was the most blatant elbow so far this year. Worst than Cooke's (pittsburgh).
Kunitz will probably 1-2. I thought the Downey hit was also pretty bad (and something he's done and been suspended for before). I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 2-3, though with Torres not getting suspended for his incident last night who knows.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
WTF...How did Torres not get suspended. No matter what people think of the hit, it would've been so easy for the NHL to end anything like this in the playoffs before it begins...
Of course we should've known the NHL would screw this up somehow...
April 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Yeah, the Downie one is a headscratcher. Not only should it be a suspension, but it should have been a major penalty. The fact that the on-ice officials blew the call would make me tend to believe that they are much more likely to suspend him.
I have Pitt in a bet to win the series, so I am in the uneasy position of pulling for the Pens and against Stevie Y
All three games have been good so far
April 18th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
No kdding. Odd feeling, isn't it?
April 18th, 2011 at 10:53 PM ^
thanks man for reminding me that for the second time in my life, ill have to deal with the demise of one of my teams.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:29 PM ^
Ugh. Anyone found a stream?

I know the last one of the Wings ones works. I'm not sure about the others.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
Just sing it please.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
1-0 Wings!!!
April 18th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^

April 18th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^

Can you say sweep?
April 18th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
let's win this one first.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
Shouldn't it be joBBing.com? Otherwise it's jObe-ing, which makes no sense.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:00 PM ^
maybe the heat scrambled their brains
April 18th, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
Maybe it should be renamed Gobias Industries Arena
That's Gobias as in "go buy us some coffee"
April 18th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Insert gob chicken gif here
April 18th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
.gif fail, but a frozen shot shall suffice
April 18th, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
Blindside hit on Lidstrom!! Fuckers!
April 18th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
Howard's been sharp tonight.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
The Versus announcers don't seem to be reacting to his saves that much, but there have been a few incredible ones
April 18th, 2011 at 11:19 PM ^
I'm glad I can see it on FSD.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:19 PM ^
has been giving the saves their just due
April 18th, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
You guys are lucky. I miss home broadcasts...
April 18th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
Ha! Doan for crosschecking!
April 18th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
MAN that guy is a wiener
April 18th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
Why in the hell is doan going after Lidstrom? Goon.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Seriously? Calling Doan a "goon"? Really?
Much of Doan's game is "goonish" despite the fact that he's a good player and leader. He's not a goon with no skill, but he certainly plays chippy and, in some instances, takes cheap shots.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Doan is a guy who loves the game and plays like it. If on the wings, you would love him.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
but he's not on the wings, and my only experience watching him has been in the playoffs the last couple years, and he seems to like liberties after the whistle. So,I don't like him.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
Step one in becoming a better educated and more objective hockey fan is watching games other than games that your team is playing in.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
I watch plenty of NHL hockey. Sorry if I don't watch/give a shit about the Phoenix Coyotes. Sorry I don't meet your standards for an educated hockey fan.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
I don't know if you are educated or not. All I can do is go by your comments, which sound decidedly uneducated. Sorry if that ruffles your feathers.
"I watch plenty of NHL hockey."
How much of that "plenty" consists of games that Detroit is not playing in?
