I was cheering for the Penguins tonight  Glad they got the win in regulation. Hopefully that will give Detroit a chance to catch back up. |

Funny how none of the vancouver fans want Luongo to be traded now. lol.
just looking at the stats, almost 9 players on the team could hit 20 goals. that's something else.

So you would rather the game be decided based on a lucky bounce than the actual skill of the shooters and goalies? Where is it guaranteed to end on a lucky bounce? |

The actual skill of the players and goalies is on display throughout the whole 5 on 5 game. Hockey is a team sport, where you have to outplay and outwork your opponent to create scoring chances and actually win. To have it all come down to what is basically a break away is awful. The shootout is a gimmick, a novelty at best. I don't agree with it. |

Yep, Hawks were pissed after losing last night. Sorry, Habs fans.

The G-Unit is back!!
Excellent win tonight for the Fly-guys. Started off a little slow, but definitely turned things up quickly. Great work on the penalty kill and Bob was sharp as well. It was a lot more of a physical game than I expected...including Coach Lavvy.
So Giroux had 4 points in his first game back, does that mean he'll get the same coverage as Crosby??
...I'm kidding, L.L.L.B.D.

Well...that was a good win for the Pens against the Blackhawks a couple of nights ago...it was good to see them hold on for the win after that ridiculous third period. |

Very interesting game between Detroit and Vancouver.
+ I thought Hansen's goal was good, he was pushed into Howard by Zetterberg no doubt. As for Howard's reaction, I'm sure he was more focused on the puck rather then how Hansen bumped into him. Regardless Im glad Howard doesnt take crap and will defend himself rather then take the Miller approach and have his team defend him.
+ The Kronwall hit, aside from leaving his feet, I feel was clean. Granted the feet leaving the ice doesnt look good at all Ill admit, but the head wasnt the principle point of contact. Reminds me of the Subban hit from last year(?) I dont think he will get suspended though I do think they will talk to Kronner about leaving his feet, which he has been alot better about recently.
Good win for Vancouver though, I really want to see a Playoff series between the two teams.

I didn't think anything was wrong with the Edler goal, Hansen should've got a penalty shot regardless if they didn't get a goal. The way Howard acted after that was a dick move. Lots of bad blood left after this game.

Because we all love those. Keep overtime going? Because there are noise laws. If your team can't get it dont in 60 + OT, they have failed. The shootout just awards an extra point. Wah itz teh siedshowz wahhhh. |

If there's a full 60 minutes of hockey played, 5 minutes of OT, and the score is still tied up, that's it. I have no problem with a tie. To award an extra point based off of your three top guys having a free shot at the opposing goalie isn't something I like. I don't think it belongs in the game as a deciding factor on who wins/loses. Real cool with the unnecessary mocking there, as well. Who are you again? |

They're usually the same people saying the game is too boring for Americans. Not you, just in general. The shootout is exciting, and I can't imagine anyone not enjoying watching it go down. I do NOT agree with the tie. I think it makes the game completely meaningless. The shootout is a quick, effective way to award an extra point. And it's not just about the stars. Players like Ovechkin totally blow in shootouts, while people like Letang, Duchene, etc shine in them. |

I hate shootouts, personally. I think if they can't get it done in OT, it should be a tie.

Well...shootouts generally make me very nervous, especially because generally that's where Flower and Johnson fall apart after a generally decent game. However I don't hate them, and I think they are a better alternative than just a tie. Just because they can't get it done in OT, someone still has to win and someone still has to lose, and determining that in the SO is the best way. I would rather it come down to a one on one than a potential five or six overtimes. I would rather see the game end in a one on one SO goal than a potentially very cheap overtime goal in the third overtime or something like that.
