Game Thread: Blackhawks at Red Wings – 12/6
Zetterberg gives the Wings one. Nice shot
p*ssed, but not worried. Hockey games are long, Wings still have plenty of time.
The goal during the stupid Chelios penalty is what got the ‘Hawks going. Ugh.
Babcock is smart to ‘assemble the big line’ as the wonderful commentators just said. Hopefully that won’t have to happen all the time in the playoffs, though.
So, the real pronunciation of Toews is ‘Taves’? I honestly thought it was ‘Toes’. x] Hahaha.
Now that I rethink it, is it ‘Tayes’? I need a hearing aid XD
A hooking penalty to Hartigan gives Chicago another powerplay goal. Wow.
Now I’ll complain about the refs. You want to tell me that Chicago hasn’t done any of that weak-ass sh*t tonight?
Holy sh*t, I think everyone forgot Maltby had hands like that.
Maltby’s sixth of the season. For once I am not cursing his name in my head!
Chicago is on fire tonight. Kane with the goal. Insane.
Jesus Christ, even Lidstrom is blowing defensive coverage. What a mess.
And I just saw the Blackhawks put a Hartigan-like hook on. Why wasn’t that called this time?
Everyone loves a fight, but Zetterberg would have been in all alone if that hadn’t been blown dead. Awful timing. What a mess of a game.
Because the refs seem to do this every other or every game and have just gotten into a habit of being biased?
Lord knows.
Aaron Downey just made it more interesting. MORE FIGHTS!
Jesus guys… Don’t thug it up, just get out of there if you’re not gonna work on the comeback.
Still plenty of time but the Wings are playing like sh*t tonight. I’m not feeling it.
Amazing save by Osgood!
That was…stellar.
I agree about the fighting, it will just get pointless penalties.
Hahaha, I just lost my train of thought. The Ryan Getzlaf commercial made me sick to my stomach but made me laugh hysterically at the same time.
Ladd had better get a third-man in, that was a fight and he interrupted.
Edit: Of course not.
What did you think would happen, honestly?
Well, I’m off for the night. That must’ve been a cheap call, I can hear Redmond laughing. Oh well, even if it’s not the case, cheap calls never make up for things.
I should go to bed, too. I can’t believe I’m staying up for this.
Ken Daniels is one naive bastard to not agree with Redmond’s disagreement of the officiating, its a joke. He thinks the Wings are unstoppable when its clear that the hawks and preds could take them out. Lets hope these two teams dont make it because I smell another first round exit if the wings can’t gain a sense of urgency or motivation. Top to bottom in the NHL, the teams are loaded with so much talent its amazing. None of these teams are pushovers, even if its 1st seed vs. 8th seed. LETS GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think Daniels ever disagrees with Redmond, just in the play-by-play role he’s not supposed to be as opinionated. He agreed that the call on Hudler was crap but tempered that by saying that Hudler never should have gotten his stick up off the ice in the first place.
This happens every time there’s a “crackdown” on some part of the game. The problem is that the crackdown ends before player behavior actually changes (because no one is willing to have a full season of weak-ass hooking calls every 90 seconds) so instead you just have weak calls every now and then.
The Wings can clinch the President’s Trophy with a point tonight but they’ll be doing it without Kris Draper, who’s out for the rest of the regular season. Tomas Holmstrom won’t be returning, either. This puts Darren McCarty back in the lineup.
Hasek gets the start.
Where is Draper? D: I didn’t catch that.
Oh my gosh! Maltby just did something…it was a miracle! Too bad nothing came from it.
Lot’s of pushing and shoving. I wish this would have been Sunday’s game ):
Chelios is my hero x]
Stupid, stupid move by Chelios. WTF was that about?
And that goal is all on Chelios for the stupid, worthless penalty.
Chicago = lame. ): It was a stupid penalty, but it kept me interested.
At least it wasn’t Lang’s goal (knock on wood)
I have another question!
What does the patch on the left shoulder of the Blackhawk’s jerseys mean?
Patch is in honor of Bill Wirtz, their owner who died last fall.
Ok, thank you
Is he the one who wasn’t putting their games on television?
And….another goal. That was fast. From a deflection.
AHHHHH I akljsdfkljasl;dkfjal;sjioavhuioujwe; extremely DISLIKE ROBERT LANG >:| Why does he contribute AGAINST the Wings? Just like Bertuzzi.They should have traded him last trade deadline and kept Jason Williams.
Chicago up 3-0 and it’s not even ten minutes in.
And there goes Hasek getting pulled.
And now Filppula is in the box for tripping. Aye yai yai. Or however it’s spelled.
