OT: Red Wings vs Hawks Game 3 Open Thread
Whew, I see it's 88 degrees in the D, and there's a sever thunderstorm watch till 8PM, though on radar it looks like the southern end of the front is passing to the north of A2-Detroit.
So far the Wings haven't been so good in odd-numbered games that aren't 7. Hope they can turn it around.
TV: 7:30 PM ET on CBC & NBCS
Let's Go Red Wings!
Need Zetterberg to keep playing in his 08 fashion for the wings to have a shot at a huge upset.
Would be nice to see Datsyuk put the puck in the net, too. Franzen & Filppula need to keep showing up.
I think this game sets the tone for the rest of the series. If the Blackhawks win convincingly I believe the series is over. However, if the Wings take it to the wire and/or win the game, I think the Wings have a great chance at taking the series.
Wonder which announcers are more popular around here
If I can't have FSD, I'll watch CBC.
CBC all day. NBC purposely dumbs down their announcers in my opinion for casual hockey fans. They also try to be a little gimmicky with phrases or sayings they have and things they try to do.
CBC by far. As someone said NBC intentionally dumbs down their play by play and commentators for the less knowledgeable American audience.
CBC but I put it on mute as soon as that blow-hard Don Cherry comes on. It's a shame because I like McLean.
haters gonna hate. Don Cherry has always supported the wings.
Bob Cole! I prefer watching CBC over FSD or NBC.
CBC is the shit.
Srsly?
Come on let's go Wings
This just in! Red wings were penalized for too many men on the ice during warm ups. Per Gary Bettman.
I wanna feed him a Louisville sandwich. /Redmondism
LGRW! Upgraded cable package to get playoff hockey today.
GO WINGS GO

Game on!
On replay that sure looked like an elbow to Smith's head.
I was just thinking the same thing. Should've been a power play
Lets fucking go
Would like to see some play in the other zone. Ok guys. Thanks
Question: should anything within that play be a hawks penalty?
Cleary looked like he hit his face right on the corner of the goal
Dang, on the PK.
Typical NHL reffing; 3 missed calls so far. None of which were even close. Just fucking bullshit
sure they call the first infraction on the wings after letting 3 for the Hawks go..
If I were a hawks fan (which I'm not), I'd be embarrassed by the subjective refereeing. We can't even have a face-off without a wing kicked out, let alone get a slash or elbow call.
Good job, PK!
Wings PP!
Just when we leave the western conference we start shit with Chicago. I'm gonna miss playing them.
we can start shit with Boston next season...
What a horseshit call on Abs coming up here.
Oh I didn't think about who we get to hate new...habs, leafs, bruins, rangers, crosby...I am pleased
Dang, no joy.
Because they're playing really hard--only a chance b/c the Black Hawks are better. Better than just a chance if Howard can continue his play.
Sparty, noooo!
I'm not upset with that period
Wings looked pretty good on the forecheck. PK did a good job. /takin'careofbusiness
decent period. got some good pressure near the end there
"There's a new level of hatred in this series" - hockey night in canada.
Solid, physical first period for the Wings.
D'oh, back on the PK early. Smith for holding.
Jesus stay out of the fucking box
we're not going to win if we can't stay out of the box
I miss Gary Thorn.
Another good job on the PK.
Timeout if we can freeze the puck.
a penalty kill any way you can get them. Keep up the aggression.
has no fricking clue where the blue line is. 3 chances to clear and he can't get it out.
HELL OF A MOVE!
Nyquist! What a move! 1-0!
