Wings win, Wings win! Great game gonna be a real tough series. And yes that hit on Juri was brutal. A suspension better be coming. That aside go Wings!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Suspension should be more than 1 game. The whole year the NHL was talking about hits to the head, and that seemed like a clear intent to injure... Glad the Wings won, though tomorrow I won't be so much of a dumbass with the times. Haven't felt that stupid in a LONG time.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

i missed the hit is there a clip of it anywhere?

Go to 1:10, and that is where they show it in slow motion. To me it looks like he leads with the forearm, and swings it while hitting. Need more angles to be 100% sure, but based on what I saw, it was an intent to injure.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

imo he should be gone for the rest of the series absolutely horrible

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Glad to see the Wings take game 1.

Me too!:tu

Anaheim at Detroit 7:00PM EST

Chicago at Vancouver 9:00PM EST

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ummm...Your info is a little off!

Anaheim at Detroit was last night, and play again tomorrow at 2pm EST

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

We will see, the Perry elbow to Cheecho's head didn't get anything. NHL has a habit of being VERY inconsistent in things like this. They set the stage with the Brashaer hit, but who knows what they will do now.

EDIT: Just looked, and he didn't get a suspension.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

looks like the pens decided to play about 15 minutes today....very disappointing

Forgive, he is a Yankee fan.



GO RED SOX

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hey guys got to love the Bruins, I think they will take Carolina in five ;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Chicago looks like a team possessed! Up 4 to 2 midway through the third period. :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Still think 6. Ward will steal them atleast one game I think. I expect one stinker from thomas for some reason. Dont know why.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

To be honest with you I don't think Carolina has a chance?
The B's got great depth at all positions, and a lot more fire power. The Carolina players were scared shitless of getting hit by Lucic.
Staal has been a non factor, he can't do anything against Chara.
The key is for the B's to stay out of the penalty box.
But this is the playoffs a hot goalie can steal a series.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hawks looked great, stole back home ice advantage...Looking forward to Games 3 and 4 in Chicago.

John. I know you're a fan, but the 'Canes were "scared chitless of getting hit by Lucic"? Seriously, this is the NHL....not too many "scared" players out there. Look for Carolina to make a series out of it. ;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

well apparently you didnt watch the sharks series. We have more than enough scared players for the whole league.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

That was the reason for shipping Jumbo Joe out of Boston :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Any Team can have Jumbo Joe as long he is not on the Bruins.

Bruins In Five

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I know. When he got traded it was oooooooo the sharks fleeced the bruins. Now its "wow I guess thats why the Bruins let him go so easy". I keep thinking Wilson was refering to Jumbo when he kept saying "There will be Big changes during the offseason."

Got to wonder. I would not mind seeing him go. I got to imagine there will be a few guys on the market. Those that dont move will likely be on the shortest rope imaginable.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:tpd: Wise words!

Carolina has their hands full... but it was only one game. I think the Hurricnaes have a shot if it goes to seven. If we want the Cup, we have to beat the best. I am expecting a better game from the 'Canes tonight. :ss

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Joe, I am not ready to call the series over. The 'Canes scared me from the start due to the season record. Things have a way of equalizing. I expect a good and balanced series going forward.:tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

No matter what happens in the playoffs, Sharks got the better end of the deal. I can see why they let him go for basically nothing, but without that trade, who knows where the Sharks would be right now.

I wouldn't mind seeing him go at all, and would rather see him go before Marleau. I think Marleau plays to his ability in the postseason, while Thornton has the potential to completely change the dynamics of the game, and doesn't. I also don't see Marleau keeping the C, which I don't think is a big deal for him at all, in fact he would probably rather NOT have the extra pressure.

That first overtime for the Wings/Ducks game was exciting. Refs kept their whistles in their pockets, but that is expected. I can't believe the Ducks are getting so outhit. Wings did prove my point to go high on Hiller though.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

What a disappointing day here in Detroit to lose in the 3ot to them ducks. its not over though!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I think James was going to the Wings game today, tough way to lose 6 periods in. The Wings will need to steal home ice advantage back in Anaheim.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Yep, there for the whole affair. Outplayed them all of OT. Just couldn't get one in the back of the net:bh. Great game and no worries. We will at least split in Anaheim. Go Wings!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I wouldn't be worried either, James. I think the Wings will take the series.

The only 6 period game I ever attended resulted in a Hawks loss, obviously many years ago. They cut off beer sales halfway through the 2rd period, so by the 3rd OT I was just ready for it to be over, win or lose....of course, that game was a 7:30 start, so it was a bit later.

The Wings will get it back Tuesday. :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I thought the Wings outplayed them completely in the OT, as well as during the 3rd.

Ward just made a series of 3 amazing saves during a power play! Bruins have seemed flat today. I would say this isn't a good thing for the Bruins, as it gives Ward, and the rest of the Canes a lot of confidence.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ward was amazing on those saves! :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

6 on 4, Boston's last chance tonight.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Canes played a heck of a game.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Yup....'Canes didn't look "scared" tonight. ;)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Great win for the Canes. Managed to shut them out, and seemed in control for the parts I saw.

Can't wait for tomorrow's game! Hoping it will be another exciting one, and hopefully with the same result.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

3 of 4 series split at 1-1.....some great hockey being played right now. :tu

Hoping the Caps can buck the trend and go up 2-0 tomorrow. :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Cam Ward stoned us tonight, The Bruins did not bring it the first two periods.
The B's got to crank up the intensity like they did in the third.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ward stood on his head in the 3rd, the Bruins were relentless. Should be a great Game 3.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

He sure did stand on his head. Ward played awesome. Canes could steal another series yet!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

The B's took them to lightly, everything has been to easy. Tonight was a wake up call.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r Yeah... not very scared looking to me.

Cam played an incredible game, but don't overlook the fact that we got to Thomas, too. Looks like a series to me. :ss

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Wow what do you know.
Ward did play an amazing game tonight. If he can do that again the series will go 7 and I give the nod to the canes. Time will tell though.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Have tickets for Game 4 between the Hawks and Canucks Thursday...Hoping it is 2-1 Hawks by then.

Tickets for the Conference Finals go on sale tomorrow in case the Hawks get past the Canuckleheads.....guess what website I will be on at 10AM tomorrow? :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Uhhh I would but I believe listing por* sites is against the forum rules. :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Nothing would make me happier then to send Sid Crybaby home with another loss.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Busted! :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Hope you got some good seats, Tom. The Hockey just keeps getting better and better!

Everytime I think I have seen "the greatest play" of this postseason, something else happens that makes me say "wow."

Looking for the Hawks to dispatch the Canucks... because they are the only team from the original 6 I want to advance. :r
(Certainly not the Bruins!) :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Still twenty to ten o'clock here Joe....I will be attempting to score some tix shortly! :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Sorry Tom... guess my Flux Capacitor was working overtime. Forgot for a minute that I live in the future. :D

Do you get seats on the glass to be close to the action, or do you like to be up a little ways to watch the game develop?

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Tom is gonna get Panger's seat between the benches!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r :r :r Too funny!
