[TheDaysOf 04]

NHL network is showing an old time Habs-Bruins game. Why? There's actual playoff hockey going on right now.

Probably don't have the rights.

The Canadians need something to watch and awe at since they don't have a team in the playoffs. Thus a old habs game.

 

[DFC]

Coops gonna Coop!

The only thing you can count on Coop to do is surprise you. Just when we're thinking he's absolutely clueless, is grinding our team into hamburger etc etc etc, he unleashes them in full force.

No one was ready for this. Least of all, us fans. (Or maybe the Wings. :p )

 

[DFC]

Detroit thought the nightmare ended last year...

TyJo has 6 points in 2 games...

The nightmare continues.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Ahh, this one felt like 2015 a lot. Johnson came out of nowhere, jeez.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Doubt the Wings make the playoffs next year for the rivalry to continue tbh unless they get some FA luck.

 

[dechire]

Absolute garbage from the Wings but who cares. Johnson emerged from his cocoon into the post-season butterfly we love. Klutcherov is on fir. Drouin is awesome. Great game.

 

[The Gongshow]

Guys, Johnson is good at hockey

Flash in the pan.

Guys, Johnson is good at hockey

There's no doubt in my mind now that he's a playoff performer. To be banged up but still play like this speaks volumes of his character. Especially after a pretty lackluster regular season.

 

[MattM92]

That piece of ****ing **** Abdelkader. Goddamnit I hope we call up Imama for one game next year just so he can pound a smoking, fist shaped hole into his rat ****ing face. That mother****er needs to be dropped. Thank Christ he has the automatic one game suspension. I swear to god if the league overturns the one game suspension...

 

[Brie]

I am bit conflicted on our 2nd line still though, Drouin and Palat have been good but we haven't seen that much of Fil in the offensive zone, I'm thinking maybe we should play Vladdy on the 2nd line and have Fil center the 3rd, that way maybe we can get the 2nd line fully going as well. Still though I don't hate Fil o the 2nd line just maybe we should try with Vladdy since he has been playing well with Drouin.

Tonight I thought the 1st line was the best and then the 3rd line come in close 2nd, the 2nd line was good but the way the 3rd line played in our zone was amazing and they helped out Bish and our 'd' big time.

 

[wxkid23]

Can we unleash Imama on them for just one shift? He could settle all of this

 

[bov]

Honestly despite some frustrating crap from Abdelkader that was a really entertaining, nasty game. It has sure been awhile since we've built up some true animosity against another team, but this is starting to look like a legitimate rivalry.

 

[The Gongshow]

I what Blunden is going to do next game.

Also hope JT is alright, didn't play the rest of the game. Time for JAM?

 

[FinnLightning26]

Still can't get over how awesome Kuch and Johnson have been. Lock those guys up ASAP and not just because I don't want my purchase of Johnson jersey to go to waste.

 

[DaBolts]

Guys, Johnson is good at hockey

He's pretty fine at it.

 

[wxkid23]

He's pretty fine at it.

Killorn and him are money in the playoffs

 

[MattM92]

Not too happy that all of our scoring so far has come from one line. That Drouin-Flip-Palat line needs to start finding the score sheet or this is gonna be a long series.

 

[Victhor Ollesson]

Wooo. Let's keep this going.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Love the way the team played tonight. They were determined to win. They also just look like the better team too. If Detroit didn't get those PPs in the second period it may have gotten out of hand earlier.

 

[DFC]

Lost in all the Abdelkader drama was the Dekeyser hit on Palat. Any chance we see a hearing on that one? I feel like if we were still in the reg season we would, but i'm not sure about the playoffs.

 

[DFC]

Get ready to drool:
