Detroit Red Wings

disappointing result, but i can't complain about how they played.

what i WILL complain about, tho, was the braindead penalty yonuss took.

 

...and i'm getting real tired real fast of players taking shots on the likes of Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Needs to be handled.

did i miss something? i saw people hitting pavel last night, but that's hockey. was there a cheap shot i didn't notice?

 

Well, i might be slightly guilty of nit-picking, but i think players are taking too many liberties against the Wings star players and nothing seems to be available to counter that, what ever that may be, im not sure.

Your right, there was some hitting and it was a hockey game, but the play i didnt like was the awkward push from behind by Doughty. It may be just a hockey play, but i cringed when that happened... im glad he got back up. I could be guilty of some ol' whinny homerism here, but i must confess, that hit scared me.

ah, gotcha. ya, that was pretty much identical to the hit that (theoretically) broke kane's collarbone.

 

Quincey has been medically cleared to practice and can delay his ankle surgery till off-season.

Helene St. James, reports the Bab's has said Smith should be good to go Saturday. Bab's says Brendan hurt his hand and should be ready, but if he isnt, Quincey gets the nod.

 

Logan Couture just got popped for $5,000 for his slewfoot.

 

but... but... but... i had to! he hooked me!!!

 

I think the NHL went wishy washy on this one. They admit and fine for a slewfoot, but no suspension. Doesnt work for me. It's all bark, no bite.

Brendan Smith (hand) cant go today, so Oeulett has been called up from GR.

Update; Now Bab's has declared Smith a game time decision. He just might go.
