That hit was questionable for sure. Left his feet and hit his head. But I think its hilarious you guys are complaining about how dirty Detroit is beyond that. They don't have 1 instagator and are probably the least dirty team in the league. Two dirtiest players in the series have been Callahan and Paquette. And that's an unbiased opinion from just watching the games.

I know your a wings fan. But your ripping on another wings fan. And the city. That's what it seems. Am I wrong?

I was trying to blend like a chameleon. I have lots of family in Michigan and wouldn't really make fun of Detroit.

Detroit is out of bankruptcy.

Also not cool too troll so hard you make fun of poverty, stick to hockey.

And suing churches over unpaid electric bills (wrong ones I might add) to do it.

Paquette has been the worst, IMO.

When were they dirty? I'm asking for a friend.

He probably should get one game (at least), but will most likely get nothing.

Kronwall is always looking to hurt somebody out there (And yes I know, Pk Subban).

Paquette slew footed Mrazek and did the same to another wings player in front of the bench would you like me to go back and look at the game tapes so I can get an exact time for you? And Callahan is always taking runs and starting stuff after the whistle. Nothing crazy dirty. Just tough playoff hockey but still worst than anything I've seen from the Red Wings

it does when it's defined in the NHL rule book as launching yourself off the ice into the player....which is simply what I was saying I don't think is what happened. Especially when the team and the player who got rocked didn't even think it was dirty

My NHL rulebook is missing the page that says how high you have to get to be considered "leaving the ice with both feet."

A redwing player grabbed Johnson by the head, bounced it off the boards, slammed him to the ice and jumped on top of him. Get you eyes checked!

Kronwall gets praised for dirty plays all the time. Sickening if you ask me.

Kronwall has been throwing those questionables hits out there for as long as I can remember. If they want to take out heads shots out of the game, the hits he is throwing around should be look at.

That part is in the playoffs section. You may not have that.

I may have missed that or you might be making something minor out to be a way bigger deal than it was. Any idea which player from the wings it was? Only player I can picture is Smith

The scrum after Mrazek stopped Stamkos in close. They shoved Stamkos and Johnson Stepped in. The guy grabbed his head, not headlock style but with both hands and into the boards he went.

Johnson lost the physical battle.

Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em vids must be an hour of goalie highlights these days. One in a blew moon when some throws a big hard hit these days it either ends up in a line brawl or someone crying for a suspension. The guy finished the game and Tampa won. get over it.

Believe it was Ericsson who did that to Johnson.

Did I say anything about Ericsson... Uh no... I was just answering the question that was asked.

Yeah... I'm actually okay with the Kronwall hit...


But anyways, good game by the Bolts. A few miscues by Bishop (totally thought he was going for the Hextall/Roy goal... then... deer in headlights... bah!), and some minor defensive breakdowns.

Guys, you have to stay out of the box. I'm okay with Killorn's glove-to-face penalty, but that tripping penalty Stamkos went for.... yeeeeeesh. Dude, get it together.


Well, I knew this was going to be a hell of a back and forth series, and it sure has been that. All the respect in the world to the Wings, you don't go 24 straight to the dance without a culture of winning, and they have proven that yet again.
