yep. all business.

there should be more guys like him in the game.

Great game by the Kings.  I just hope they can do that 3 more times.

The Habs worked the Bruins over again and PK's post game interview was classic, all business.

Its 2010 all over again. I figured the Bruins would put up a little more of a fight in this series. Looks like Tampa woke up as well. That series should be something now.

As others have mentioned, where is Bob Probert (RIP), Joey Kocur, Stu Grimson, Darren McCarty, Brenden Shanahan, et al., when you need them!

Some of those Wing penalties were earned, but WTF was up with the Helm boarding? The league's penalty standards are just as inconsistent as ever. Totally make the beast with two backsed is a better way to put it. As far as an enforcer, Abdelkader is a pretty scrappy lad. He's a pure Red Wing enforcer like McCarty was in that he puts up the numbers to justify his spot on the line, yet can still drop the gloves. Bertuzzi dropped them twice in a single game at the end of the season, and still works offensively like Shanahan did. The Bruise Brothers are a memory for this team. I don't think we'll see that kind of goonery again. Look how poorly Brad May worked out with this team.

[Dannyboy]

I wouldn't call Probert a goon.  That man had a lot more skill than people give him credit for.  Hell, he scored close to 70 points one year.  To go with almost 400 penalty minutes.  That's pretty damn impressive.

[redxblack]

I agree completely. He's remembered for his goonery (like McCarty), but he had a great scoring touch.

I'm hopin to make it to game 3 of the Detroit/Phoenix series tomorrow....we'll see how Franzen is feeling, that hit into the boards was pretty vicious!

[redxblack]

I can't wait to hear the LGRW chant from the fans IN PHOENIX.

It will be interesting.  Seemed like adrenaline took over yesterday, with a few exceptions.

It was classic seeing him on the bench when Babcock was asking about a face shield for him and he shook it off.

I think the older I get, the more I hate the Wings who are in the Eastern time zone, playing a game in the playoffs in the Western conference. God I hate having to watch a game until 1:30am. Good win though. 

Ah...hey...Tampa....WHAT THEN HELL?

[redxblack]

I was shit at work today after staying up and quietly yelling at the tv @ 1am.

[Kopfjäger]

Blackhawks are fired up tonite.

[Kopfjäger]

Chicago has won the game, but Vancouver is winning the fight.

[Ahks]

Chicago has won the game, but Vancouver is winning the fight.

And what a fight it was... Only caught the 3rd period of van @ chi ... was VERY energetic

[Kopfjäger]

Sharks/Kings had a wild game tonite. Hell of a come from behind win for SanJose.
