Redwings 8 - Ducks 1
Let's stop allowing 3+ goals in the final period. I'll be happy if we do that. Oh, and if we win. I'll be happy if we win.
Good Guys: 37. Mighty Ducks: -3
3-2 Wings. Need to get this win!
Good call on the final score!
My prediction is that Mickey Redmond will be consuming ginger ales during the game.
but rather a statement of fact. mickey loves his ginger ales.
Lets. Fucking. Do this.
Red Wings will have at least one more goal than the Ducks. The Wings desperately need this one. Let's get it!!
motherfucker
Another goal that wouldn't have happened had we made a simple play.
Fiddlesticks.
Yeah, can't remember the last time the Wings had a guy like that. That Swede who played 23 years and retired last year was the worst.
i hate the rebuilding period
i guess my ass got spoiled. i miss the red wings of the 90's and 00's
This team is just plain overmatched.
It is the 2-7 series. Also, that Kronwall hit looked better in real time with the kind of obstructed view than it did with a clear angle. Nice job getting low with the hips either way.
Momentum is a fickle thing in hockey. There have been times where we looked overmatched early, only to come back and make it a series or win and the same has happened for other teams playing us. Ducks aren't invincible in the slightest. Win this one and it's best of 3.
Crowd is on top of the chants tonight!
How many games was the Kronwall hit worth?
I'm not just referring to the first period tongiht.
bullshit call.. he nudged him
Do you have any examples or types of calls in general? I'm honestly curious about this.
Hooking has changed a lot since the last lockout, there's been a much bigger emphasis on obstruction penalties and high hits. Hooking is actually a pretty black and white call, the NHL defines it as "the act of using the stick in a manner that enables a player to restrain an opponent". Generally, wrapping the stick around an opponent's torso or pulling the blade of your stick back while it's attached to an opponent are dead giveaways.
Interference is a more subjective call; the easy ones are where the puck is nowhere near the play, the hard ones are when "possession and control" are in question. The referees are looking to see if a hit is avoidable after a player gets rid of the puck, players generally do a quick count to three or a normal count to two as a rough guide, and that's usually pretty accurate.
Then again, Gryba got an interference call and Eller had the puck on his stick when he was hit (the big Senators/Canadiens hit)., and there are a bunch of other examples of calls being incorrect, so obviously things aren't always called perfectly in real time.
If you can lay up that much, you can avoid contact all together. Wings can't afford to be on the PK all game.
Looked to me like he didn't expect Sbisa folding like that once he felt contact. Bert's an old school kind of guy and the game isn't old school anymore. Flops work now. That said, yeah, you're right. Pretty dumb penalty.
Just that getting an opponent off the puck at the blue line isn't worth risking two minutes, especially when it's a near certainty it's going to get called against you.
that i am glad we don't have t.v. reading the mgo-comments is enough.
but despite the obvious frustration of all, go wings, go!
are the wings gonna score a goal again?
forgive my typing.. getting frustrated
They can't get anything past Hiller..no matter what. Jesus.
Good Lord, those refs sure take a long time to blow the whistle on Howard's end.
hiller is a damn stone wall.. he is stopping everything
