sioux rube Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Exactly my point. Ovie's hit (amongst other plays) somehow weren't penalties, but the scuffle at 3:00 left was roughing? The refs had the whistles in the pocket until they realized the game was almost over and wasn't tied. I don't love that the calls become looser in the playoffs, but everyone knows it and has the opportunity to adapt. But to call it so loose that hits like Ovie's aren't called, but then tighten up right at in the last critical minute and call a pretty soft penalty is annoying. I hear ya Jim. Be consistent at least. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I laughed when the only penalty of the game is called against Washington's fluffiest defenseman. If you're going to call one to give NYI a PP to try to tie it, at least call it on Orpik. Quote
sioux rube Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Looks like Mr Kronwall will be having a meeting about his head shot in game 6, as well he should be. Quote
sioux rube Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Wings will be short of a Mr Kronwell for game 7. 1 game suspension for his near head removal of a Bolts player in game 6. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I will go with the Wild in 6 over the Hawks. The Blackhawks aren't as deep as their Cup winning teams were and the Wild have the edge in goal. The Wild are also a great road team. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 About the hits on Monday by Kronwall and Ovechkin, I still say put the second official up in the press box during the game. Go with the immediate replay review. In Kronwall's case he probably would have gotten 2 and 10 (maybe 5 and 10), but not 60. And Ovechkin would've been called for something. In this Kronwall case, it seems like TBL is getting extra benefit out of that non-call. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 In this Kronwall case, it seems like TBL is getting extra benefit out of that non-call. If they had lost, their season would have been over. Tough to take this suspension out of context. Game 7 tonight - I hate the Wings, so GO BOLTS! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Any truth to the rumor that Mike Babcock just finished setting forms from blue line to blue line and has twelve yards of ready mix on order for 7 pm delivery? Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Time for the Red Wings to start making some roster changes and get younger. Quote
cberkas Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Time for the Red Wings to start making some roster changes and get younger. I keep hearing the Babcock is the next Michigan Wolverines head coach. 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 I keep hearing the Babcock is the next Michigan Wolverines head coach. REALLY? Quote
cberkas Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 REALLY? It seem like it's only Michigan fans saying it, I find it funny. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 It seem like it's only Michigan fans saying it, I find it funny. I haven't heard that at all. He sure didn't sound like a coach who was coming back to Detroit next year though, did he? Quote
cberkas Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I haven't heard that at all. He sure didn't sound like a coach who was coming back to Detroit next year though, did he? I've come across it on the USCHO fan forum once and awhile about some Michigan fan talking about how Babcock is replacing Red. I didn't hear anything from Babcock. Quote
farce poobah Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Places Mike Babcock might go: 1. Detroit. With a couple missing pieces and a bounce or two .... 2. Toronto. The biggest pile of money in all of hockey. 3. Edmonton. A chance to build it from scratch. 4. San Jose. Money and perfect weather. 5. through 10. NHL. 11. Hockey Canada. 12. through 40. CHL to GM and coach and perhaps own. 41. through 100. Europe. 101. Michigan. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I don't think Babcock goes to a young team in the rebuilding process (i.e. Edmonton). The one I just heard that almost makes sense: If Anaheim doesn't advance this year ... Quote
farce poobah Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I need to start by saying I think Babcock is the best proven coach available *. As a Blackhawks fan, I realize I'm obligated to hate everything about the Winged Whell, but have to make an exception today. The guy wins wherever he goes ... and there's a reason Hockey Canada picked him for the last 2 Olympics, where he delivered 2 golds. Michigan..........."So you're saying there's a chance". LOLZ. Yes Harry, there's a chance. But really, he can get more money and fewer rules anywhere but NCAA. It would only be if he loves that phase of player development. If he was going to stay in Detroit, they'd have already had Babcock sign an extension. Excellent point. Do you think its about more than just money? For example, Babcock wants more control over player selection and development - to be GM? I have no insight into Detroit's motives. Just puzzled about why he hasn't signed. I don't think Babcock goes to a young team in the rebuilding process (i.e. Edmonton). The one I just heard that almost makes sense: If Anaheim doesn't advance this year ... Anaheim ... would they toss out Boudreau, who got them #1 West seed? If not NHL, I think the lure of a senior role at Hockey Canada might be calling, with the opportunity to influence a generation of players, coaches, officials. * I do think there are excellent young less-proven coaches out there. Mike Yeo is one. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Anaheim ... would they toss out Boudreau, who got them #1 West seed? It was the topic of conversation on NHL Radio (XM 218) this morning when Denny Potvin was on with their morning guys. Yeah, I was a little surprised by it. Quote
cberkas Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Capitals win it with a goal at 1.3 left in the game. Glass is a marked man for game 2. Quote
