Misconduct

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:52 AM

One down for the Wings but the Penguins will look to rebound. Too early to call anything a must-win though it would be easy to, as Detroit would do well to hold serve at home and the Pens would love to make this a five-game series in which they have home ice.

Rumblings are that Johan Franzen could return tonight. He hasn't been cleared to play but it sounds like he's in as soon as he's cleared.

It's a tough call but I think I'd pull Darren McCarty out of the lineup when Franzen comes back. He's been playing well but everyone else (Helm included) has been just a bit better.

Nhl.com says Franzen's in.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 7:36 PM

Just an FYI, the actual start time tonight is 8:14.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 8:25 PM

Penguins with another good start. Ugh.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 8:27 PM

Stuie!!! Wings out in front!

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 8:29 PM

The Pens may have started well, but they're 1 nil behind! C'mon!

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 8:36 PM

Homer! 2-0!

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 8:38 PM

Tap-in by Holmstrom!

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 8:43 PM

Stupid play by Malone.

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 8:54 PM

Decent period. The Penalty Kill's looking good. Another chance on the Power Play coming up, hope they can take this one.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 8:57 PM

Game's over if they can score early in the second. Wings playing too well defensively.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My dad just said "Hoodler". I'm ashamed =/ And earlier he said 'Fraaaaanzen'

I'm happy for the Wings awesome start. I hope it stays like this for the rest of the second (the domination, I mean).

KEEP CROSBY AND MALKIN GOALLESS!

I just got done putting my kid to bed I see it's still 2-0 but it looks like Pitt is starting to get more chances and control it more than they have. Am I right?? Did I miss anything exciting?

Posted by fitch.1918 on 5/26/2008 at 9:36 PM

Wow dodged a bullet there

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 9:36 PM

What a surprise, best opportunity for Pittsburgh comes on Lilja falling down.

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 9:37 PM

What a surprise, best opportunity for Pittsburgh comes on Lilja falling down.

Hahaha, that just made my day. =/ I hope Lilja goes soon.

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 9:41 PM

Power play....could turn the momentum around.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 9:44 PM

Penguins playing better defensively but it seems to have cost them what little offense they could get going. Works for me, the Pens are the ones that need goals right now. Still holding my breath though.

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 10:13 PM

Is it taking anyone else 4-5 tries to get the site to load?!?!?!?!

Datsyuk's a madman! I didn't think he would ever hit anyone. But I'm proud of him, if I can even say that It's cool he's standing up for the team. And that's stupid that the Penguins keep doing that.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:19 PM

I'll be damned, a goalie interference call in Detroit's favor.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:20 PM

DR. FIL!!! Holy f*ck that was nice. And it was going to be a penalty shot.

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 10:21 PM

That goal was almost as beautiful as the goal scorer itself!!! <|3

YAY! I'll proudly be wearing my jersey tomorrow!

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 10:22 PM

What a f*cking goal! YEAH!

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:24 PM

Franzen down. Roberts is gonna get f*cked up.

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 10:26 PM

Yeah, that wasn't cheap at all. =/ What a jerkface. How many penalties has that guy had tonight?

edit;; KILLL HIM!!!!!!!!! Darn. =/ I was hoping for a fight.

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 10:26 PM

That was so dirty.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:35 PM

Anyone else starting to get calm? I'm not holding my breath as much as I was.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:38 PM

Nice, the refs are starting to call the after the whistle sh*t the Pens are trying to do.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:42 PM

Sykora's a bitch. And Datsyuk f*cks up Roberts.

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 10:44 PM

Datsyuk and Franzen!!!!! Badass

Ok, now I feel calm <|3 and happy. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Who knew we'd be watching Pavel Datsyuk, one of the players not associated with toughness, beating people up in the Playoffs? I am amazed. This game keeps getting better and better.

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 10:46 PM

Dirty bastards they are. Go get 'em Datsyuk!

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 10:48 PM

Two to go! Suck it, Ice Chickens!

Posted by Britishwingsfan on 5/26/2008 at 10:52 PM

And another great defensive performance. It's like a brick wall out there. Sidney Who? Two to go! Get in!

Posted by Mathieu_Datsyuk132351 on 5/26/2008 at 10:54 PM

I love that Don Cherry just showed a picture of a sleeping kid and said 'He has the right idea here' ! LMAO. XD

TAKE THAT CROSBY LOVERS! Let's see if the Western teams get ignored next year?(Probably still, yes, I know)

SHUTOUT!

Posted by drwmike33 on 5/26/2008 at 11:06 PM

i think it's really funny that Pittsburgh just made themselves look so desperate and completely stupid on national TV. Datsyuk? wtf? My friends and me were jumping up and down because Dats starts crankin out haymakers.

Anyone else notice how the pens were trying to take shots at Franzenstein's head?

I'm sure there won't be any suspensions, but I think a talking to and maybe even some fines are in order.

Good win--we'll see how desperate they look at home on wednesday.

Posted by YzerFan19 on 5/26/2008 at 11:26 PM

I'll start worrying about how the Pens will look on Wednesday sometime tomorrow. Right now I'm letting myself think about how the Wings just need two wins in their next five.
