That could have been one of cheapest goals I've ever seen.

Penguins can't keep turning the puck over if they have any hope of winning

They look like the Hawks out there, haha.

SPEAKING OF TURNOVERS!!!

[Cynosure]

That was a fast period... 32 hits in that 1st period.

And zero penalties, LOL

Goal from Fedotenko to tie it up, btw.

gflore...its not like the blackhawks dont have players who embellish penalties, so please stop. Also there is no doubt the Hawks had players who only skill in hockey is they are questionable hitters(Eager) who do actually lead with elbows. I am glad that Blackhawks fans dont like them, but lets not point fingers for things that your own team is just as guilty of.

 

Derwood...Before the Cap the Wings did have a large payroll, but they still had a good player development system and they never had a payroll that was more than a couple million more than the next highest team. So comparing them to the Yankees is not really accurate.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Eager scored 11 goals. One of the Hawks' strength was that their fourth-line, elbow-throwing guys could also do a little scoring.

[Cynosure]

Wow are they going to call ANYTHING that includes after the whistle/dirty crosschecks/hits?

I dont think there has been anything too blatant that hasnt been called. The 2 calls that were made were correct...though where are the diving police when Staal does it?

At least you're willing to admit some of your Red Wings embellish penalties and deliver questionable hits which is more than I can see for most Red Wing fans.

I think most reasonable fans of every team are aware that there is way too much embellishing in the NHL.

[Cynosure]

That better be penalties.

[jaydee]

matt cooke is an idiot

[Cynosure]

No penalties? LOL REFS

[Cynosure]

Franzen scores for the Wings.

 

Wings lead 2-1.

[NewUserName]

fluery with and opposite of Huet...kicks his leg up to knock it in

[jaydee]

with normal boards its probably 1-0 pitt. oh well

[NewUserName]

Yeah...Red Wings players really understand those boards also. Not sure the 2nd one wouldnt have happened, Wings had 2 unchecked forwards in front of Fluery also. I think that shift it was just a matter of time.

[NewUserName]

malkin and crosby lead pittsburgh in minutes...not often a non d man leads team in icetime.

 

I think the Wings are countering crosby/malkin on the 4th line by having zetterberg/fillpula double some on the 4th line also

[jaydee]

haha kronwall is such a joke

[TruffleShuffle]

well there's a generous no-call

[Cynosure]

Abdelkader scores!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wings lead 3-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
