    well Nashville/Detroit is over

    Detroit has outplayed them and has more talent

    Nashville has what it needs to win the series, the better goalie and the better defensive structure

    that 2nd Nashville goal was down right embarrassing, 3 players trailing Erat and Howard selling out too, leaving Klein open in front of the net with that wide open

    and the first goal wasn't much better

    Brutal late hit on Hossa from Torres tonight. I hope Hossa is alright.

    That was so damn pathetic. It made me sick to keep seeing the replay of that.

    Torres should get a solid 10 games if not an indefinite suspension....absolutely ridiculous and if shanahan wants to make an example out of anyone, here's his golden opportunity. What a bullshit hit. Saw that the commissioner is at the UC watching the game, he better have a talk with shanahan.

    That was Brutal Detroit game...I think the Zamboni driver only had to scrap half the ice...the worst part for Detroit is now 2 day off...benefits Nashville...Suter and Weber over 30 minutes in tonight's game and Nashville playing essentially 5 defensemen in Detroit. They'll be refreshed Friday.

    I'm guessing that's what the league will hand down...their just no consistency to their rulings...

    I don't know if Shanahan has his hands tied with these penalties or not but in no way should the severity of an injury determine the length of suspension. That it's even considered is awful. Players will start faking stretcher rides and anything else if they really want a player out.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    The Coyotes announcers felt it was a clean hit :shock:

    Those announcers should be fired


    Torres should have the book throw at him. He should be done for the playoffs and a few games into next season. That was so bushleague, which is not surprising from a player that plays on the wrong side of the line.

    Wow...what a joke those announcers are. It's one thing being a homer, but that'sjust fucking ridiculous.

    Torres had a suspension earlier this year too so Shanny better throw the fucking book at him.

    hmmm ... i just spent a few minutes watching the torres hit ... i think if we took this hit outside of these playoffs and it didn't involve the two people that it did ... it would be a borderline suspension to the league ... but the main factor here is torres leaving his feet which means he was aiming to hit high ... as a repeat offender - i would say he's done for the playoffs ...

    http://thestar.blogs.com/thespin/

    anyways - i got some rule changes ...

    1. post-whistle scrums: players are to disperse upon blowing of the whistle ... if the referee in his opinion determines that one person or team instigates the continuation of a scrum - the proceeding faceoff will be held in that team's zone and that team will not be allowed to make line changes (similar to icing) ...

    2. team fines: if a player on a team receives a penalty and/or suspension that includes one of the attempt to injure infractions - the team will incur a fine that starts at $25,000 and will escalate by a factor of 2 for each subsequent infraction incurred within a regular season and playoffs

    detroit just looks awful in their own zone ... pekka rinne is awesome ... and wow ... florida is shocking right now although i was never really sold on jersey this year ... that series is going 6 or 7 ...

    The Torres hit was ridiculous. Not sure when we can stop blaming Shanahan and start just blaming the players. I mean they're the ones doing it. I have no love for Hossa but that was a dirty hit.

    Nice to see the Pens pay the price. Obviously tonight is a golden opportunity for the Fly-guys.

    He left his feet and has a bad history ... and Shanny is already taking all sorts of heat ... I think Torres is done for this year.
  • Jason PJason P Posts: 19,138
    I see the Red Wings are continuing the tradition of running into super hot goalies in the playoffs ...

    Jimmy Howard hasn't been the same since his injury earlier this year. Even after the refs spotted the Wings a goal, they still scored twice very quickly. I don't know what he was thinking on the second goal ...

    It's definitely on the players, but Shanahan needs to send a message that this type of shit isn't going to fly anymore. Fucking Torres....it was one year to the day when Torres knocked out Seabrook in last year's playoffs with a head shot.

    I like your rule changes.

    How about remove Shanahan.
