4 Nashville Predators vs 5 Detroit Redwings

[Sucker Punch]

Ugh. This CBC play by play guy is HORRIBLE.

I suspect Cole will get Ottawa.

He did, and I'm still overreacting about it.  I guess giving it to Dean Brown just made too much sense.

A tough, nasty game with some injuries (Deteoit's Helm) and some hits from behind (Weber on Zetterberg).  In the end, Nashvile prevailed winning Game 1, 3-2.

GASP!  What blasphemy is this?

It's the Red Brigade. Annually-since the last playoff appearance by the Leafs anyway- ( this picture was taken in 2009 because global warming has no effect in my house and the population of polar bears has increased steadily), the Game Day Bears ditch the blue and white and cheer for my son's favourite team.

If I had the time and energy, I'd make them all Bruins sweaters since that would be THEIR logical favourite.

I hate Dean Brown..... and I'm guessing anyone who is not a Senators fan would agree with me....  8)

 

[Sucker Punch]

Having Cole and Healey call the Senators series would be like having Dean Brown call a Leafs series.

Whether you like him or not, Dean Brown can follow a hockey game, and knows who plays for each team.

CBC are huge, unabashed homers, except when it comes to Ottawa apparently.  You have the guy that calls Sens games on the payroll.  Not using him is just stupid.

$2,500 fine for Weber.

:-\

 

[Deebo]

I think dean brown is the junior guy there so he gets the lower profile series.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

$2,500 fine for Weber.

:-\

for what?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

$2,500 fine for Weber.

for what?

Smashing Zetterberg's head into the boards at the end of the game.

Man, he can't even pretend to claim that was accidental. Lucky to not get suspended. That was some WWE skills on display there.

 

[digdug]

Weber definitely should have been suspended for that

I  am surprised that he wasn't

 

[Tigger]

To tell you the truth I don't have a ton of sympathy for Zet there. The fine is ok with me.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Dirty enough to get under Detroit's skin, not dirty enough to get suspended.  That's a perfect play in the playoffs, the kind of thing Chris Pronger and Claude Lemieux built their careers on.

I'm sure I'd be singing a different song if that was Staal on Spezza, but I'm fine with it.

 

[seahawk]

Darren Helm to undergo surgery to repair tendon damage. He's done for the playoffs.

[hockeyfan1]

To smash someone's head deliberately against the glass is not something  I would do.  Lost a little respect for Weber there, and Gaustad (tapping Datsyuk behind his knees). 

At least, Weber gets fined.  Message there. Shanahan has put Weber "on notice"...

[AvroArrow]

Ok, I have to say, in my opinion, it was not a "SMASH" into the glass.  It was a push into the glass.

 

[Peter D.]

Don't know where this originated from, but ;D:

 

[Tigger]

Jeebus do I want to see Nashville take out Detroit, I've so had enough of them.

 

[Nik]

You know, I never thought I'd say this about Nashville but...that's a really good playoff crowd.

 

[sneakyray]

everytime I turn on this series my first thought is "dear goodness those are some uuuuugly jerseys!"

the worst in hockey...one of the worst in pro sports. (talking the yellow nashville jerseys)
