    Note to Detroit...if you're going to call yourself hockey town you might want to try filling those empty seats in the lower bowl...just saying.

    It's been sold out for days. Can't help if people go pee and get beer.

    Those in the lower bowl are likely season ticket holders for whatever reason are not at the game...not that many people are in the washrooms/concessions. Never see a Canadian rink with empty seats at playoff times...especially if one called themselves hockey town.
    It's more likely the work of a very unsuccessful ticket reseller actually.

    But really for the building to empty out the way it did with 2 minutes left...the hockey town logo should be removed :P

    Do I sense some bitterness that by the end of the next week or so, there won't be any Canadian teams competeing for their own trophy? :D

    Not at all...Ottawa can win that series. I still am confident that the Canucks can win.

    Fleury is one of the most bi-polar goalies I've ever seen. When he's on, he's amazing. But when he's off, he's really REALLY bad. His defense has done him no favors this series either though.

    Over/under on 10 total players left on both benches by the end of this game? I'll take the under.

    If the Pens want to have any chance of winning this game let alone the series, they need their veteran leadership to step up now. Fleury needs to calm down, Malkin needs to take over and put some damn shots on net instead of missing wide 4 or 5 times in the first.
    PLAY THE SOUTH

    Go Preds. :mrgreen:

    Can't believe they held on. That 2 on 1 was a real dagger.

    congrats to the panthers for their first playoff win in 15 years.

    pretty cool to see the fans litter the ice with the plastic rats at the end there. shades of 1996!

    :twisted:

    Fuck that 96 team and their goddam rats delaying the game 10 minutes after every goal and their players not getting called for any holding or interference penalties. Not that I hold a grudge...

    nhl has gone way bush league ... can thank shanny and the refs for that ... there have been more blatant head shots this year than the last decade combined ... brutal ...

    he is a dope ... i'm all for old-school hockey but it can't continue like this ... guys are too strong and fast and when you combine the equipment being lighter and harder ... it's a recipe for disaster ... the nhl has to protect the players from each other ... if you let it degenerate into what this playoffs has been - it's taking the game down the toilet ...

    having said that ... if you are going to cheap shot star players (looking at you boyle) then you better be prepared to defend yourself ... i give props to weber for fighting bertuzzi ... it got settled ... done with ... move on ... play the game ...

    Ugh. FUCK ME IN THE BRAAAIIIIIN!!

    And WHAT is with the refs?? They were terrible, especially in the last 2 minutes of the game - that delay of game penalty was bullshit.

    Hope the Sens bring the intensity tonight, no excuse to take out our captain.

    Hearing for Andrew Shaw is today. I honestly have zero idea what to expect from Shanahan....nothing he has done has made sense.

    considering he is not a star in the NHL he will get 3 games. now Neale from the pens will get a fine while attacking 2 players heads
  • lukin2006lukin2006 Posts: 9,087
    Why is it such a tough decision for the NHL to ban head shots? And maybe it's time to hold the teams accountable as well. Maybe monetary penalties/lowering their cap limit for a season or two and the removal of draft picks after each season based on players suspensions on their team.

    No doubt this season/playoff the headshots have been bad.

    How much of lack of discipline is Shanny/Bettmans fault or the directions that they are receiving at the board of governors meetings?

    I also really don't see the discipline aspect changing any time soon. If they didn't crack down after Crosby took some serious headshots then it's unlikely they're going to. It's obvious to me that it's in all teams best interest to want your most marketable players healthy and playing.
