Gotta have it tonight baby! Hank is back, and looking for Bertuzzi to bring some old time nastiness.
C'mon, man! Red Wings Live pregame showed Marchand grabbing the wrong knee when he went down. I thought this was hockey, not theater. Fucker.
Fuck the entire state of Massachusetts.
I'm nervous.....
If you want to do something fun ask Siri who the magic man is.
We're in need of a lot more magic like that.
I couldn't resist. Sweet.
The simple things. A friend of mine told me about that a few months ago and I still do it before every game I watch.
Oh, jeez, Howard is out?!
Well shit
Looking for great goaltending and defense, non the less.
Gustavsson is solid in net. I actually feel like he earned this opportunity to start a playoff game with his performance in the regular season. Guy is more than just serviceable.
Gotta love the Mickey Redman intro. I'm ready
*Redmond
I want to watch..but I have finals to study for. The life of a student..so many decisions.
Ask yourself how much serious studying can get done when you are missing a Wings' playoff game.
That's a great way to look at it. Thank you for helping me justify my procrastination.
Anytime, young Skywalker.
But loving the energy
Hopefully, we can pull this one out - Massy is going with a 71% estimated win probability for the Bruins, and thanks to my native Chicagoan wife, I had to listen to Blackhawks this and Blackhawks that for most of last night at the Bavarian Inn - even though they are playing the Blues and it has nothing to do with this series. That being said, a win tonight for Detroit would be very, very nice indeed.
Already look better than games 2 & 3 combined
Am I crazy, or are there a lot of ways in which 4 on 4 hockey is more pleasant to watch? Less puck on the boards and more movement.
Is it my girlfriends TV or does center ice look funny?
Phew, a bit of puck luck there. Now we can haz PPG?
GOAL!!!!
Kronwall! 1-0 Wings!
What a laser! Tuzzi with a nice block
Kronwell should have the puck bronzed.
Kronwall
Red Wings taking dives all over.
You're a special kind of stupid aren't you?
Why do they bother sticking around?
Quincey may be one of the worst D man Detroit has had in a long time. Hes just turrible
I have said this every game for several years now. Can't sand him. My least favorite Red Wing of all time. Just don't care for the guy. He's my Morgan Trent of hockey.
Can anyone who's more intelligent about hockey explain what the NBC announcers mean by the "stretch"? They keep mentioning it
they are probably refering to a stretch pass which is a 2-line pass. and if you dont know what that is; pass from your own zone that goes over blue and red line. stretch pass is used to open up the neutral zone. think of a deep route in football and then throwing it underneath coverage.
not listening to the nbc cast, but they are probably talking about a stretch pass, or a long pass breaking the puck out of the defensive zone
Huge save on what looked like an open net.
and finally score on the power play. Lets Go Red Wings!
With his stick right in the face. No call.
Marchand is a fucking chump.
Fuck Marchand. Refs gotta be on that shit
at what point can we scratch franzen? is his only value his quick shot? i just dont understand the ice time he logs
If Alfredsson's back gets better, then scratch Franzen.
Dive
If I took a stick in the dick I would fall as well
Too bad the replay didn't show that.
Oh eat a bag of dicks. I heard it is a speciality in Bolivia.
Lol the replay clearly shows him with a stick between his legs. Enjoy your ban.
Says the president of Bolivia
Redmond is awful. I miss Emrick
