Detroit looked tired last night and made many mistakes

. . . except for the 4th line, and maybe Hossa. They didn’t look well-prepared, and Pit disrupted their passing effectively. Lidstrom looked fragile, while Stuart and Kronwall gave the puck away a lot. Detroit managed to keep most shots from the perimeter, and Osgood handled them. Looks like Zetterberg can still shut down Crosby.

Pittsburgh missed a great chance to jump on Wings early. If Fleury does a better job of smothering pucks, Pit centers win some faceoffs, and forwards force defensive mistakes with more dump and chase, they’ll probably get their split. I picked Pit in the poll but it’s a really close call, since Detroit has just as much room for improvement. Just hope that the officiating stays this good.

crosby

almost scored twice, and on one he hit the post and then zetterberg touched the puck on top of osgood.

I don't like you Detroit.

yeah, "shut down" is a little strong

but Crosby is a monster and Zetterberg did a pretty good job

4 games in 6 days looms larger

Detroit’s not playing Chicago anymore. Won’t win this series with one hand tied behind their backs.

Well, unless Osgood and the Joe Louis boards keep helping out.

I'm here!

Missed yesterday because of senior ball, but I did convince my dad to text me updates of the game, so I at least have that. And I was able to amuse myself for 10 minutes while waiting to get in by telling my friend that “one third of Joe Thornton scored for Detroit,” and then watch her try to figure it out (“Who is number 6 on Detroit? But six isn’t exactly a third of nineteen! Or do you mean someone that is really short, like Tootoo? Or Ott? But they’re not on the Wings. ANNNN, tell me what you mean!!”).

But yeah. I’m watching tonight. Go Pens.

Oooo

Puck was in, waved off due to the push – love the controversy. And the fighting.

Ok, gotta go for real now.

aye

but Osgood over sold that. And yeah, if Nabby did the same, I’d say that too.

I like how he was in someone’s face after, looking ready to go. Really, Osgood, not a good idea for you, sir.

wouldn’t you prefer to keep your starter though? It’s not so much a strength issue as a maybe they want him to play game 3, issue.

Ehhh

Detroit was outplaying the Pens in some spots. They also are extremely good at dodging interference calls (which still pisses me off, doesn’t matter which team they’re playing).

Booo

My computer froze a bit there. And because the Pens lost.

But watching the Penguins, I just had that “they’re never gonna score again, are they” feeling that was so common while watching the Sharks the second half of the year/playoffs.

I Can Agree With Pierre MCGuire On One Thing

I absolutely LOVED the passion and intensity Malkin showed at the end of the game. I can see him playing like that the rest of the series.

at zetterburg he wouldn’t even drop the gloves with malkin lmao what a pussy

and yet you don’t even comment on malkin’s pussy act of pushing osgood while he was down making the save … funny that … :)

I don't like you Detroit.

That wasn't Malkin

Malkin took the shot, it was Talbot or Fedotenko who pushed him in. Malkin came after Zetterberg after he and Stewie headlocked a Pens player.

talbot poked at Osgood during the whistle

Osgood hammed it up, puck into the net, and all Pens bad feelings came out

his job is crosby, not fight malkin at end of game. no good can come of it.

Even if we are chromosomely challenged.

I think that they call that being a lady for ladies, but being a gentleman I wouldn’t know those sorts of intricate lady issues.

more of a new Cylon style model then? Or Data style perhaps?

Either looks essentially the same from the outside, minus that whole no melanin thing. I’m pretty sure you have a touch more color than Data did.

Data, Brent Spiner, scared the hell out of my dog during the filming of 10…he tried to pet her and she freaked. Didn’t want anything to do with him. I think it was the eyes. She love Marina (Counselor Troy). Licked off so much makeup that she had to go back to have it re done before shooting started.

Exactly

Malkin was the one not giving up despite the odds, Zetterberg was the one who wouldn’t drop the gloves. I also loved how Malkin tried to punch around the ref to get to Zetterberg

Reminded me a little too much of Anaheim

Refs certainly swallowed their whistles when Anaheim did stuff similar to that.

the interference

is almost unbearable, you love to point it out how anaheim gets away with it but not when detroit gets away with it, and you say I’m biased, give me a break.

i was loving malkins effort as well especially around the ref like you said

Not one of the wings better efforts . . .

but enough, with the gods apparently aligned against Bettman’s boys.

by DetroiterInNorCal on May 31, 2009 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm getting fed up with the interference from both sides

Is anyone else annoyed by this? Both teams dump the puck in and then the opposing teams defenders are practically pushing the guy chasing back towards the blueline. It’s entirely ludicrous. It feels to me like it’s been more of an issue with the Red Wings, but that could be my bias, but there’s no doubt that both teams have been doing way too much of it. There’s also been quite a bit of what I believe should be called holding, but that hasn’t been as annoying, since it affected both the offense and defense about the same.

I realize the refs don’t want to call a huge number of penalties, but with the amount of interference going on currently, you practically need a stroke of good luck to get the puck into the offensive zone. That really shouldn’t be the case.
