NHL '11 - '12 Thread

Total dive by Kronwall. His face wasn't even lying on the ice or nothing! I think I even saw him looking around for a ref while he was totally faking it on the ice.

Anyone hear if there was a suspension yet? Hearing was today.

(EDIT) N/M here is Shanny with the verdict:

3 Games

Toms right mike. He's just skating hard/ finishing his check/ playing hard nose hockey. Kronwall is such a Nancy. He finished the game also, so there is no way he was hurt. I mean clearly Sidney who finished his game and played after his dirty hit has been faking his injury all this time. Err or hockey players often play through injuries and lie about symptoms. He may very well have a concussio or a neck injury develop.

In all seriousness I watched the game last night using NHL GCL and my media center pc (which really kicks ass I will add). Now granted I was only watching because I saw the Wings lost, but I watched that hit multiple times and he intended it. If you watch the replay he chased him down. The push had bad intentions and Kronwall could have been injured or even worse. That type of hit has no place in the game. If Kronwall had been injured it would be more then 3. Even the Blues broadcasters and mike methenie(sp) new Cardinals manager who was doing a guest spot said it was a bad deal. His kids play and he was saying its every parents worst nightmare and I would largely agree.

With all that he's fine so I am guessing Selane was not sad about that hit. He did sell it also, but hey that was a bush hit so why not. It deserved 5 and a game.

Duncan Keith looked like a Norris winner again, even without Seabrook in the line-up.

Hawks repay the Caphucks, 5-1. Man, I hate those guys. Bieksa just needs my fist in his face.

1st overall in the NHL, looking a lot like '09-'10 right now.

Nice to see the Avalanche give up 4 unanswered goals!!

[E.J.]

Ugh... Hate to give up the first goal of the game at 179 after clutterbuck puts a stick across Mc's face....

[E.J.]

Tough loss tonight after playing that well on our side of the blue line...

? Y u watch that. The big game of the night was the Sharks beating the Wings yet again. Last time Babcock said they had a paid second period. I would say they had more then that this time. Love the fact that the Sharks continue to beat the Wings.

[Bruins Fan]

Ugly,ugly shootout win for the Bruins to get past a highly motivated Blue Jacket team
The Jackets were in town with their fathers playing the Champs,it had all the makings of a trap game for sure.
Hey but good teams win that's seven straight.

Switched early on and saw periods 2 and 3 of the Sharks game. Detroit has some issues.

I didn't see it. I'm guessing bad turnovers in their own zone, and missing Ian White probably didn't help.

[Mr B]

Detroit looked good in the 1st and Niemi saved the Sharks butts. Sharks paced themselves and totally dominated the 2nd and into the third.
Great game for Niemi and Valssic. 5 different goal scorers.
I agree Mike, great to see these guys continue to do well against the Wings.

Save me. We went from blowing up the team to defending a cheapshot and making excuses as to why they didn't dominate a bad team. Here's hoping for a slide.

Nah I think ill just bag you for being a homer and over reacting all the time calling for trades when they drop a couple. Last year multiple times you called for firing the coach and making trades. Hell you already did it this year. Good thing the people running the show there understand hockey or Boston wouldn't be celebrating the cup or on a 7 game win streak. .

Guess a lot of us here and NHL Players and analysts should be watching figure skating.

[Bruins Fan]

Absolutely I wanted the coach fired. Julien was just to stubborn and was to much a players coach, example Dennis Wideman skating every shift with zero production, not willing to shake up the lines, the power play was non existent the trade for Kaberle made it worse, as long as you skated your lanes you played.
That all changed when Cam Neely took over, the coach and GM were a heart beat from being fired?
Cam told them to start playing Bruin Hockey or else.

This year Julien is doing a great job coaching,calling out players when needed, sitting them down when they screw up, he's not looking over his shoulder, he's smiling and non combative in his interviews.

The talking heads don't know what they don't know
and if they do know they won't say anything negatived. the only ones that tell it like it is are the local guys that cover the team.

The B's need another goal scoring winger,there are a few guys on the roster that can be moved, I think there will be a big trade by the deadline not before.

That's my

just cause when I saw this as the highlight of the night the other night I thought of this post

Watching them on GCL right now. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGly first period. I have not seen a first period like that in some time. Hoping they come back and make this a game.

I do agree on Bieksa. Make the world a better place punch that a$$hat in the face

[icehog3]

Hawks took the worst beating I have seen them take in the last decade from the youngsters of Edmonton. Emery looked awful but the D certainly didn't help. I don't even know what to say right now, except they better come to play on the West Coast this week.

[Ahbroody]

You can hang a.couple on Emery, but the D was ugly now.for the second game in a row. I am wondering if Keith will get a game for hitting Hall into the boards from behind also. I doubt it, and I know he was sorry after, but he has not had a good week and that was a dangerous hit. Crawford gave up 2 on 7 sog as well. I think it was more the D last night. They often looked paralyzed by Edmontons speed, hell even Edmontons 3rd line looked amazing. They were playing really well, sure its just a stumble. I do hope the Sharks put the boot to them though.

[Eleven]

Pssst. Did anyone hear who is playing tonight? Some dude who scored on his 3rd shift, and also has an assist in his first period on the ice in more than 10 months.
