Another classic game! Great comeback... these young Hawks appear to be fearless, if not a little reckless. Has the makings of a good series. :-)

Looks like it's going to turn out to be a pretty good series. Hawks need to be more disciplined, can't be taking so many penalties.

Looking forward to tomorrow night, and the Wings/Ducks game. Interesting to see how Detroit comes out after such a long break. I'm thinking they may start the first 5 min or so slow, but then will get into it.

After the initial save, he stopped striding and glided in instead of covering his man. Turned into a good game though, and the Hawks showed they can score on Luongo. It is a start though, build the confidence that you can score on him.

That's what I am hoping...Let's Go Hawks! :-)

Yeah, will take a little bit of time to get there legs up to game speed. But then it's duck hunting time!

I hope so! Pretty bad when I'm a Sharks fan, and the past 2 seasons I have had to root for the Wings. I don't see the Ducks keeping up with them, they have as much or more skill as the Sharks, but actually get it out of their players.

Let's hope so, puck drops at 7:00pm!!:-)

So what happened early in the Wings/Ducks game? I screwed up, and was thinking in West coast time... Heard someone got a game misconduct.

Nice win by the Bruins to start the series.

Just saw the hit on the Wings player, that was brutal. Puck was gone for enough time, and the guy went straight for the head. Hopefully he is suspended for some time.

that was terrible hit but hudler came back out to play oh and by the way 3-2 wings victory....GO WINGS!!

Wings win, Wings win! Great game gonna be a real tough series. And yes that hit on Juri was brutal. A suspension better be coming. That aside go Wings!

Suspension should be more than 1 game. The whole year the NHL was talking about hits to the head, and that seemed like a clear intent to injure... Glad the Wings won, though tomorrow I won't be so much of a dumbass with the times. Haven't felt that stupid in a LONG time.

i missed the hit is there a clip of it anywhere?

Go to 1:10, and that is where they show it in slow motion. To me it looks like he leads with the forearm, and swings it while hitting. Need more angles to be 100% sure, but based on what I saw, it was an intent to injure.

We will see, the Perry elbow to Cheecho's head didn't get anything. NHL has a habit of being VERY inconsistent in things like this. They set the stage with the Brashaer hit, but who knows what they will do now.

EDIT: Just looked, and he didn't get a suspension.
