Completely agree.Suicide pass will get you every time.
On a side note,the Wings escaped last night after blowing two three goal leads.
Won't go far if that keeps happening.
They might be in trouble Dekeyser's gone for the playoffs (broken thumb), and isn't that when the ducks started their comeback. He's an impressive young defenseman.
Very impressive.
All year long with this team.One injury after another.
He will be missed no doubt.But there is some depth at defense.
They started playing a lot better once he joined the team ... and they kind of collapsed and looked like the wings in the first half of the season after he went down with injury. I still think they'll be the ducks but not Chicago if if they meet in round 2.

The league has been trying to put the responsibility to avoid headshots on the hitter for some time now, despite the blame the victim mentality, so not if you consider that viewpoint.
Wow, Pens lost a tough one. Nothing against the Isles but if a team like that can knock the Pens off their game, then what will an actual "good team" do to them in a 7 game series. Yes, they're stacked but I'm not convinced they'll win the cup. It starts with goaltending and Fleury hasn't been solid. Since winning the cup in 2009, Fleury has been 13-15 with a save percentage in the .800's. Won't get it done.

Poor Lou... always the shitty end of the stick. Love the positive attitude though props to him.
Only liking two series so far- Ott/MTL and The Mighty Wings Vs the Walt Disney Ducks. i kid
Of course im bias on the one series. Bos/TO meh was expecting TO to do better but Boston is a power force... The rest of the series are boring to watch. imo.
Hamilton 9-13-05; Toronto 5-9-06, Toronto 8-21-09, Toronto 9-12-11, Hamilton 9-15-11....
The playoffs would be a ton better if the refs let them play, call the high sticking to the head, headshots and the stuff that takes away obvious scoring chances ... If these guys want hack and wack and cross check each other as long as it below the shoulder and not taking away obvious scoring plays ... Who cares anymore ... Most are wearing body armour anyways ... Let them play ... Refs put your damn whistle in your pocket ... And the calls appear to be subjective anyways ... Like game 2 Montreal vs Ottawa ... Prust get crossed into the boards but he gets the penalty for closing his and on the puck, wtf.

This league is so lame now. Only a matter of time before it gets like the NBA.
Well the guy running the league is from NBA ...
As for your previous comment about being a bush league ... As soon as the instituted the shoot out and awarded teams who loose in OT and shoot out a point it became bush ...

Everybody likes to pick on Lou ... how about the Sedins step up a little more. I don't see Vancouver winning a cup with Sedins or this make up of their team, they still don't seem gritty enough for playoff hockey.

From this video it appears he left his feet and it appears his shoulder hit the ducks player in the head.
At least 2?
Yeah,shoulder hitting the head is what will get him a suspension.
At the point of impact only his right foot is barely off the ice.
I would think it can't be more than 2.Maybe only 1.
Wings looked like shite.
Terrible pp, and what was Howard thinking with that lame attempted swipe at Getzlaf.
But those are just two examples of an all round crappy game.For me anyway.

Isles were looking good till they took the 2 penalties
giving Pitts 1:30 of 5-on-3 time.

Isles got jobbed big time. Very weak call on Crosby. Predictable.
It wasn't weak. Could have gone either way. The refs decided to call it.
Yes it was.... brutal call, especially in OT. But it was Crosby.
Meh... A defencemen who just got beat puts both hands up high on a guy from behind, while the player with the puck is 15 feet from the net with a clear scoring chance... that's a legit call, and gets called every time. Not in the neutral zone, but on a clear scoring chance in OT, that gets called, even if the player goes down a little easy.

That's been the type of season they've had ... Look good some nights and bad the next. Even though the ducks lost game 2 they got a huge moral victory and seems to have carried over.

going to be tough going into San Jose down 2-0

Win some and you lose some. It's the playoffs where fans whine about the officials and Sidney Crosby.
The Golden Child went down to the ice very easily and got his call.

He got 2 ... So once again the league is inconsistent.
