Thought I would start this thread since nobody else has.

Detroit Blues game is exciting right now. 2-0 Det

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Go Blackhawks!

[Machiavelli]

Conacher has been so impressive!

[Brannigans Law]

Lol @ Pavelec

Good luck with that Jets

[devo22]

stupid hit from behind by Thorburn on Salo, resulting in a game misconduct. Nice one Thorburn, being down a man for 5 minutes against the best PP team in the league surely won't hurt your team :D

Hainsey and Stuart follow that up with bad penalties to give the Bolts two 5-on-3 opportunities. Really, really bad by the Jets. And of course, the Lightning punish them both times.

[devo22]

haha Conacher again. Two great redirects tonight ... the kid is amazing.

6-0 Tampa Bay after 26 minutes. If the Jets don't get their act together soon, they'll be in for double digits tonight.

[Wise Gamble]

Lu starts today lol

[$ven27]

Ugh, man I wish we signed that Conacher kid. He's unreal

[hwy19man]

Capitals hang on to win 3-2 in regulation time.

[expatflame]

Detroit is just so good. Came back and now winning 4-3 and Zetterberg has 4 points.

[zamler]

I see the Detroit reffing rules are still in full force, what a joke.

Go ahead goal on the strength of a bogus 5:00 call.

Helps when the referees toss the Blues' captain for a clean hit.

[zamler]

Detroit is so good, lulz. They would never be leading in this game if it was not for the gift PPs they've had.

[expatflame]

Maybe I should have added, "so good...on the PP"

[Yamer]

Ok, so what happened to the 2 #####bags in green bodysuits?

[zamler]

Don't get me wrong the Wings are a very good team, but the ridiculous calls that keep going their way really irk me. Anyway go Hawks.

[DropIt]

Kane just loves to play the Canucks

[nik-]

day to day after a being boarded by Giordano.

[moon]

Another 3 point game against two teams the Flames would likely be competing against if they were able to get in the play-off race.

[Violator]

Ok, so what happened to the 2 #####bags in green bodysuits?

there boss is sitting in the seats

[GreenLantern2814]

This Chicago Vancouver game is really entertaining and well-played hockey. Luongo is the superior goaltender to Cory Schneider. Schneider is a fine goalie, but his biggest accomplishment truly is not being Roberto Luongo. Need more than that to replace one of the best goalies of the last ten years.

[North East Goon]

Meh, Vancouver is so much better than us, it's not even worth commenting on anymore.

[Nathan89]

Has anyone noticed the big guy with the kid with earmuffs on at every Vancouver game, behind the bench? I noticed the kid was wearing an Oilers jersey when they played them, tonight he's in a Balckhawks jersey, haha.

[Canuck-Hater]

Vancouver fans sure like to cry.

[Loyal and True]

Safe to assume that several Blackhawks are hung-over after a long night at the Roxy.

[Loyal and True]

...and Kane scores! I gotta think of another post.

Safe to assume Blackhawks are tired after a long night on Davie street.

[Zamboniman]

Can someone explain to me the new rule this year that all Western Conference games must end with three points being doled out? I don't remember this being part of the new CBA, but apparently I missed something.


EDIT: I forgot the Flames Exception Clause.

It's getting pretty ridiculous. A full 1/3rd of Western Conference games have gone to OT. IIRC last year it was 22% or so, so a 50% increase so far.

[Flash Walken]

Lappiere?

Yikes, that one was ugly.

[Canuck-Hater]

F$%# the shootout!

[J epworth]

Well the Flames are going to have to hand the Blackhawks their first true loss tomorrow.

[nik-]

Well now we get the Hawks on a two game losing streak, so that nice.

[Violator]

We piss them off you get to deal with them after it should be easy

We're screwed.

Earmuffs Kid. he picked his nose tonight. The kid went to every game during the stanley cup run. He has been at every home game this year as well.

Wealthy dad probably bought every teams jersey for him even if he'll have out grown them within the year. Probably Authentic with fight strap. Dad making his child into a troll that everyone is jealous of.

Just saw the highlights...a match penalty for that hit?
Game was tied at the time.

Illitch has clearly reestablished the connection to the league office.

[GreenLantern2814]

We're screwed.

We were screwed before lol

illegal hit to the head? 5 minute penalty .. brutal call, completely legal hit

talk about a horrible call that cost them the game in the end

[thefoss1957]

Been working the 2nd shift...had to watch the 'Hawks/Canucks game on the DVR...Lou was Very good, and the Canucks did a stellar job of blocking shots and passing lanes, but seemed to be on their heels much of the night...

The 'Hawks were very careless on puck entries, and seemed extremely casual with the puck, even when they forced a turnover, just no urgency to attack at times.

OK...Rant at Q...Sharp is a fricken 20% career in shootouts...WHY KEEP TROTTING HIM OUT THERE???!! Leddy to stay alive? LEDDY? You have Hossa, Stalberg, Kruger, Saad or Frolik on the bench and you send out the #5 D-man in a must score shootout spot??? Terrible, just Terrible choices in Shootout Lineup by Q.

Ok, it's on to Calgary...as I said in a prior OOT thread...I see the Flames game being a "trap" game for the 'Hawks...I expect more careless, sloppy, emotionless play from my guys, and I expect a rusty Ray Emery to be in net.

What a joke. Refs should be suspended for that idiotic call. Blind mice at work there.

[thefoss1957]

Even Mickey Redmund, one of the most Homer Announcers in the league disagreed with that call! Looked like a shoulder to the wheeled wing to me...

[Five-hole]

Touchdown Seahawks!

[Tsawwassen]

Dan Ellis gets the SHUTOUT for the Hurricanes in 1-0 reg win over the Senators. Nice deflection by Staal for the game's only goal. It was a goalie's duel between Ellis and Anderson as Carolina had 35 shots to Ottawa's 33. Tampa shot down the Jets 8-3! Tampa's PP had lightning in the 1st period, 3 for 3 and had a 6-0 lead in the 3rd period before the Jets scored. Pavlec was pulled after the 5th goal. Nice empty net goal by Zetterberg to get the hattrick for the Red Wings' 5-3 win. Halak had a facial injury during the 1st period and sat on the bench the rest of the game. The Capitals get their 2nd win of the season, 3-2 in reg time over the Flyers. The Stars win 4-3 in the SO over Phoenix. Mike Smith was back in net for the Coyotes. The Bhawks lose again in the SO, 2-1 to the Canucks. The final game had the Ducks beating the Wild 3-1. Selanne assisted on all 3 goals in the game, he really is an ageless wonder and good for him! :) His linemates Bobby Ryan had 1 goal and 2 assists and Palmieri had 2 goals. The Ducks backup goalie Viktor Fasth was in net.

Backes match penalty rescinded by the NHL.

Although they're obviously not going to restart the game at 3-3, or take away the game winning goal Detroit got on that 5 minute PP. And, the goal came over 2 minutes into the penalty, so even if they called a (still incorrect) 2 min penalty for some reason, Detroit wouldn't have been on the PP when they had scored their PP goal, so the beyond terrible 5 minute call did it.

Horrendous officiating, slanted once again, for Detroit while at home.

From behind (where the ref who made the call was) it's easy to see why he thought it was a head shot 0 it certainly looked like it. But he can't kick a guy out if he doesn't actually see the contact.

Probably the worst call this season and that's saying something.

There needs to be instant replay for majors etc. And there really should be an off ice official that can call down missed majors and such.

The game moves too fast for the officials to get it all right all the time.

As long as it was very limited that's a pretty good idea. Or maybe ask one of the other 3 guys on the ice.
