Downie was at it with a bit of a slew foot/trip at 01:45 of the first period today.
Always amusing when blokes like Downie and Kaleta call out other players about cheap shots and dangerous hits.
Pot. Kettle. Black.

Really liking what ive seen of the stars this season..taking it to detroit today..
top two lines have started on fire in 3 games..Morrow 4 goals, eriksson 3, ribeiro 5 assists, richards 2 goals and 4 assists and neal 5 points..
defense has been ok and looks much improved, and kari lehtonen has been strong..
looking very good could definately be a playoff team this season..finishing between 6-8 in the west is a definate goal..
intersting stat that Loui eriksson has scored the 3rd most goals in the last two + seasons in the west with 68, only trails marleau (82) and Nash (74) leads hossa and Iginals by 1, pretty fair company....Loui is so underrated,

Should have known after the first goal went in after 41 seconds, it wasn't going to be a good night.
Oilers impersonated the Hans tonight, lost the game via stupid penalties. All four Wild goals from power plays.
Anyone tried the mosaic feature on GameCenter Live?
I had five games on the go this morning. Four on mosaic and the Lightning vs Flyers on Foxsports. A good morning's viewing.
Predators look solid once again this season. Looks like they've found another extremely good goalie with Anders Lindback as Rinne's back up. Watch out for Cal O'Reilly (Av Ryan's older brother), I can't remember seeing him before but he looks like a very good prospect. he is centering Steve Sullivan and Patric Hornqvist
Fantastic to see the Sutters struggling. Currently losing at home to the Panthers. They're showing going undefeated in the preseason means absolutely nothing.

Flames are absolutely turrible.
i heard an interview with colin campbell, and he knew it, but he said he just couldn't justify 3 games on that hit, and a guy with no record.

The Pens are just embarrassing me at the moment. A 6 minute PP at the end of the period and they could hardly get a shot off.

Just checked out those names. Not complete no names apart from Taormina who put up 50 points in the AHL last year, while Urbom is from this years draft and Corrente is a former first round pick of 06.

Did anyone else see the Letang hit on Comeau? Comeau mishandled the puck, Letang comes from the side with a beautiful hip and shoulder, Comeau's helmet goes flying off and he falls to the ice. Letang ends up with a 5 minute major and a game misconduct.
FOR A ****ING HIP AND SHOULDER!
Then the idiot refs changed the call to an illegal hit to the head from behind. Unless Comeau's head is in his armpit then these refs have no idea.

Probably reacted to the helmet flying off.

So we lose a player because Comeau has a tiny head? It's just BS!

Nah. If it was me, I'd suspend him for the year
Lol, they're not that bad. Tallinder and White are both good D-men and Greene is ok. The other three are young kids but have some potential. Sure there is no big names like Chara, Keith or Green but they get the job done.
Taormina could be a good one though.

Pens get the win but no thanks to the refs. They were so terrible that apparently the Isles commentators were complaining. To be fair to them, our goal in OT came thanks to a dodgy hooking call on the Isles that gave us our 8th PP that we finally scored on.
If that crew work another game ever, it will be too soon.

Is there some kind of requirement that the guys calling the Ducks/Thrashers game speak only in a monotone?
Totally calling a SO on that game as well.
EDIT: Close thing though, Fowler clear and with plenty of time shoots it wide with 30 seconds left and then the Thrashers have a breakaway chance that Hiller only just stops...

Loving hillers GAA... of 4
Volchenkov broke his nose a few nights ago after copping a Nicklas Backstrom shot.
The Rags could be in some real injury trouble now. They lost Drury and glass man Gaborik today. Gaborik's is a separated shoulder (gone for 2-3 weeks) and Drury's is a broken finger, out for six weeks.
As for the Pens, we look terrible. Our PP can't fire a shot. I'm starting to doubt that it was all Mike Yeo's fault (the PP coach for the last few seasons). You'd think with the two-headed monster, it'd be easy enough to set up a PP unit that can a) get into the zone onside; b) set up the box/umbrella/whatever else; c) get a few clean passes and move the goalie around; d) get some good quality scoring chances.
For whatever reason, we look like we're shorthanded every single time.
What a horrendous PP we have.
And Sid scores. Finally.
See if you shoot, you have a chance of scoring!
