............aaaaaand the Wings win. :mad:

Guess it doesn't matter. :o I want the Wings to lose and I want the Pens to do it. So I guess we need the Hawks to lose. I just can't ever bring myself to root for Detroit. :p

:eek::eek::eek:

Go Wings!! Its in my blood to never, ever, under any circumstances cheer for a team from Illinois. (me being from Wisconsin and all). Even if my favorite team wasnt playing them, I would have to insist on the Hawks losing:p

Man if the Wings could have pulled off a win tonite, I think it would have taken the wind right out of Chicago's sails for sure. The Hawks gave up a 3 goal lead and it went into OT. Hawks won it in OT:mad:.

If you guys didnt watch the game, you gotta see the hit that Kronwall put on Havlat....he was out cold for a bit!! He never came back in...hopefully he will brush the snow off his skirt and play on sunday:D:D.

I was kinda upset that they gave Kronwall a 5min major and a Game Misconduct penalty for the hit. It looked clean and legal to me!! Not his fault Havlat was skating with his head down....

Yeah........................ :rolleyes:

This is the same Kronwall who, during the Cup series last year put a malicious, cheap hit on Sergei Gonchar. Gonch was just back from missing several games to a concussion. Kronwall came from behind him lioke a freight train and checked his head right into the glass. :mad: I know hockey's hockey. But in that situation, a good hard hip check would have been even more effective in taking Gonchar out of the play. Kronwall was definitely attempting to injure. He's a classless, cheap-shotting piece of trash, IMO.

Period.

I know what you mean by dirty play....kinda like when Gary Roberts sucker punched Johan Franzen last year????? Or Matt Cooke's intentional knee to knee hit on Erik Cole, or Kunitz cross checking a goalie (varlamov) in the throat??

Kronwall is a big hitter, sometimes bigger than he needs to be maybe. But I dont think he is out to take guys out of the game. He is one of the few open ice checkers (who are good at it). Hits in the open tend to be more violent then ones that are absorbed by the glass.

Pens fans used to love play like that....Ulf Sammuelson and Darius Kasparaitus were the kings of big, questionable hits for a while.

Just my opinion....:cool::)

Yep.

That's when I stood up and yelled "Roberts, you a******!!!" :cool::mad:

I won't get into a "who did what" discussion. That could be another whole thread. Fact remains that Kronwall maliciously went to the head of a man recovering from a concussion............a man with his head a foot off the glass..........a man with his back turned.

I have as much respect for Kronwall as a human being as I do for Gary Roberts: NONE.

Kronwall's a classless piece of garbage and I was very happy to see the Pittsburgh door hit Roberts in the arse.

After all of the cheap shots Walker preformed on the Bruins, I'm glad to hear he got some of his own back in return ... Karma,,, plain old Karma ,, ;)

I agree....if anyone deserved their head shoved into the glass it was Walker...that guy was a real piece of work in the Bruins series.

Getting close to the end of the 2nd period...I'm hearing a broom swishing!

1:21 left in the second period...Pens 3, Canes 1

And here before the beginning of this, I was telling everybody this was not going to be a 4 game series. :o

A lot can happen in the last 20 minutes. But I do hear something. ;)

Swish. :D
