[edit] wait... there was no penalty on krejci or thomas. the fuck?

Did you guys watch the game? Because Backstrom took two or three whacks at Thomas' glove when he clearly had it covered. Refs aren't going to protect someone who pulls that bush league crap.

edit: You can see the last slash he takes (after the whistle) at the beginning of the clip, but everyone wants to ignore that.

The indefensible play by Thomas was when he tried to kick the legs out from under one of the Caps players for hovering in his crease after a whistle.

TT: "Don't tread on me!"

Just woke up; man I was feeling pretty cynical about the Blackhawks win yesterday, pulling a game out of their butts without really deserving it, but feeling a little more optimistic now I guess. 3 playoff games in a row where the Hawks show that they are playing till that final regulation buzzer for sure. Hopefully they are headed home with a bit of momentum and can start out sharp on Tuesday.
 
Don't worry, we have to change NOTHING, just need a couple bounces and we're set!

I heard an interview with Lovejoy that gave me a little more hope. He said that they don't need to change their system, just their execution. While I don't agree that their system isn't in need of adjustment, I'm glad that he knows they haven't been executing. Too many mental mistakes.
 
I don't know what would be funnier--Vancouver going down 3-0 or Pittsburgh going down 3-0.

I don't expect either to happen, but chaos would occur if it did.
 
I've been gone all weekend and I missed you guys. Phoenix got robbed last night, but other than that I like where things are heading.

Dilemma: Watch Detroit/Nashville or go shoot around in the park by myself to get hyped for the Flyers....

Please advise.

Watch playoff hockey. You can go to the park anytime.
 
Going to miss the only game I want to watch today (Flyers).

Grr.

I have a group meeting right after the start of the Wings game here at 1, so I have to leave at like 12:30ish. Luckily I can stream the game from where I'll be at.

Edit: Why does ESPN not know hockey facts?

Detroit rarely loses at home. Nashville has never won in Joe Louis Arena. Advantage: Red Wings in Game 3.

Hahaha the amount they care about hockey has diminished even more. Such a sad thing.
 
3 straight videos showing Weber pushes Miller into the goalie.

Announcer: "Miller was not pushed into the goalie."
 
Dang, just got back to see we are down by 1 and with 2 penalties already. :/

Also suck it Nashville, this is what a playoff crowd sounds like, not your pathetic attempt the last two games.
 
Well this period was un-eventful for Detroit. I really hate these early afternoon games. Wings seem to play so badly during them.
 
As odd it feels watching midday hockey, it is SO awesome to have a full day of playoff hockey. This should've been hyped like crazy by the league. Nothing major is going on right now with the other sports, and with how these series are going, it should've been sold like a super sunday for the NHL.
