Phoenix is REALLY starting to piss me off. First their goalie acts like he just got hit by a tank, getting Shaw suspended 3 games, now Torres completely decks Hossa, sending him to the hospital and winning the game at our place in OT, that very well could have been ours had Hossa not been injured. There needs to be some major retaliation..


Yeah I don't know why Mike Smith exaggerated the hit so much, but it was still a dirty ass hit by Shaw. Chicago knows Phoenix is a team that relies on defense and goaltending so taking a run at their goalie like that is completely classless. I fully support the 3 game suspension, if Smith was injured it should have been longer. 

As for the Torres hit, it was clean as a whistle. He didn't leave his feet until contact was made. Sadly the league will probably still give him a game suspension for that clean hit because of his previous record of suspensions/fines. 

And as for "there needs to be major retaliation", Torres' hit on Hossa could well have been the retaliation you're talking about, for the cheap shot on Smith. 

Clean as a whistle!!!  Torres freaking jumped into him.  Gimme a break you Hossa hater!

He did the exact same thing to Brent Seabrook last year.  Come on man.  I know that you don't like the Hawks, but show a little more honesty when making statements like that.  I am not crying foul because of Shaw's suspension.  He made a major no-no and is serving his time so to speak.

That was an older post my good man, check my more recent ones. I've already admitted it was a dirty hit. Wasn't as bad as the Seabrook one last year, but still bad.

3-1 for the Desert Dogs! Fuck the haters!!

Another great game by Smitty, and great work by Boedker getting his 2nd straight OT winner! And with that said, what the hell is with all the OT games? 3 of the 4 going to OT were because the Yotes let in a goal with under 1 1/2 left in the 3rd which worries me, we need to work on our late game Defence.

Yes! Go Blues! More great goaltending from Elliott, and smothering defense. That is Blues hockey.

Interesting side note: Every series in the West now stands at 3 games to 1.

The west is looking boring with all the trap teams winning. Go Philly.

Corey Crawford has been a pretty good goalie in regulation and horrific in overtime. Time to get a new goalie Hawks. I'd actually start Emery the next game.

Damn! Why couldn't you hold on one more game Detroit?! Then my prediction would've been true! Bleh! They played pretty average in the playoffs (and the tail end of the season) so really it's no surprise. This only intensifies by dislike of Jimmy Howard. Am I the only one that thinks he'is the biggest weak link in the team?

I think that he's about as good as Corey Crawford.

In about 24 hours I may become a predator fan again. Just depends on the blackhawks.

Also I bought nhl 99 for the nin 64


Good purchase! I still play nhl 94-96 on my computer. Hard as hell though.
