[Marianhockey8]

sick jump hit, learn to hit on your feet kronwall

[Zenkka]

this guy should be in the Olympics doing high jumping

[virginkiller777]

wee coming for u again pittsburgh!

[WithExtremePrejudice]

It's LIDstrom not LINDstrom, you idiots.

[etid77]

THANK YOU!

[mirzayanov]

all the canadians say that lindstrom and datsyuk aren't the best players, they say that crosby is the best forward and all the rest of the all star canadian defensman are better than lindstrom, any opinions on that??

[TheOMFGProductions]

as a Canadian i personally think that lindstrom and datsyuk are very good players, and i do not think Crosby is the best forward, he is over hyped and so on. Btw no one who hasn't been in or know someone very well who has been in a draft and doesn't know about the shit that really goes on plz dont reply to this comment.

[mirzayanov]

Thankyou for replying, what do you mean by "Btw no one who hasn't been in or know someone very well who has been in a draft and doesn't know about the shit that really goes on", can you rephrase that please? Sorry, I don't understand what you meant

[TheOMFGProductions]

i just meant that people get hyped put for reasons other then there hockey ability skills. for example there is a kid who went first overall into the OHL last year and he made his mom carry his hockey equipment into the change room and back out again. They hyped him as this nice guy who takes intuitive and doesn't mind to do a little hard work. Obviously though, he doesn't like to work that hard if he is making his mom carry his hockey bag.. and i posted that last part ( continued on next reply)

[TheOMFGProductions]

because i didn't want any hardcore Crosboy fans jumping all over me saying how great he is and how he isn't hyped up.

[mirzayanov]

I understand but you still haven't answered my question, can you please tell me what you meant by, "Btw no one who hasn't been in or know someone very well who has been in a draft and doesn't know about the shit that really goes on", what kind of shit goes on in the draft?

[TheOMFGProductions]

stuff goes on behind the actull draft, a perfect example, last year a kid was drafted into the OHL, name was Brock Beukeboom i beleave and since his dad was in the NHL he got selected even though he wasn't really any good.

[mirzayanov]

Are you serious?? I thought shit like this only went on in youth hockey, because I know that during tryouts the coaches son and the managers son always make the team and get more ice time than they deserve, I guess politics plays a role in everything... That kids name was Jeff, he played for the NY Rangers and he sucked... Can I ask you how you know this information???

[TheOMFGProductions]

i know this because i saw kids go above me who did not diserve to go and then their dads ended up being a part of the team

[mirzayanov]

Sorry to hear that man, it doesn't always matter if you go up high in the draft, with the Red Wings jonathan ericsson got drafted 9th round and now he's playing for them, whats your name? and what round were you drafted in?

[popcapbottletop1234]

It's more in the late rounds shit is politics. Especially teams like the Leafs and Habs. The wings know better and will draft people who will actually play, not throw away an invite to rookie camp.

Although the Jeff Tabellini trade was involved with politics too!

[mirzayanov]

unless its a team like the wings most of the time if ur drafted in the late round there is a small chance a player will see any ice time in the NHL

[Michlimania]

Well put...I agree.

[DetIzRed]

The name is LIDstrom. There is not an N in his name. Lidstrom is the best defensemen in the game today and one of the top 10 defensemen in league history. He's the smartest and one of the classiest men on the ice today. Crosby is NONE of those. When he becomes one of the top 10 players in league history, when he stops whining and learns to play the game, and when he finally stops mouthing off to other players, somebody let me know.

[mirzayanov]

who cares everyone mouths off to each other its hockey not tennis big deal, he will be one of the top 10 players in the league history

[DetIzRed]

I'm fine with Crrosby mouthing off but he's gotta stop whining. I don't believe he will be one of the top 10 players. EVery generation has its "Crosby" and most of them haven't made it to the top 10. Its normal for a player like Crosby to be on the ice. I don't like Crosby one bit. He's definately the most overrated player out there right now.

[mirzayanov]

gretzky used to whine just as much and ovechkin gets talked about less than crosby since he's russian, its obvious

[DetIzRed]

I know, I respect Gretzky's records, but not him as a person. Yeah, the canadian players get talked abot way too often, many of them are good but many of them are just Don Cherry's puppets. I understand where you are coming from but I personally would take Datsyuk over Crosby anyday.

[mirzayanov]

yea i agree

[BiggySn1p3r]

i love that phrase... He will wallpaper you!

[NYRangerfan30]

horrible hit stay on ur feet

[hockeykid554]

hey penguins!! guess who came to detroit! MARIAN HOSSA bitches

[wmryan78]

Yeah - i preferred the Wings skated the Cup in front of the Pens fans. It was much more enjoyable to see their collective disappointment in HD.

[DiddyIsTheKing]

"we ruined your world at Joe Louis ..34 secs left!!!....you overrated pieces of shit!!"

LOL, not only the wings ruined your world at the Mellon Arena but they celebrated in front of you. "You are liucky SJ and ANAHEIM were eliminated somehow by Dallas!!" And why is that since the wings ELIMINATED the sharks last year and almost beat the ducks but screwed up. Put out Hossa and Dupuis and the pens are the same team who got STUMPED by Ottawa last season.

Cry me a river loser...

[krh8504]

Fuck you Motherfucker!whos got te goods?can you please tell me?

[DiddyIsTheKing]

Answer: The Red Wings

Why: Because they are the champs and they won't lose players like the pens.

BOW DOWN

[malteserule]

right on GO WINGS

[chris27438]

ha Ottawa wouldve owned them this year if they hadnt made that trade and stayed healthy, ottawa and detroit own!

[BIGCHILL3993]

BTW there ASSCLOWN !!!..I have been watching hockey for 37 yrs ...1972!!!...comeback with intelligence!!!..Like I said in an earlier post ..IN a battle of wits you are unarmed!!

Cya tomorrow night!!.....THE HANGMANS NOOSE IS GETTING TIGHT!! If you win so what??? we ruined your world at Joe Louis ..34 secs left!!!....you overrated pieces of shit!!

[hakkenarsk]

And still you behave like a child. Grow the fuck up.

[ekermo92]

"comeback with intelligence" man that's really a lame comment you should hear yourself from someone elses point of view... Anyway think there's only 2 defensemen in history who won norris trophy more times than Lidstrom. Still you say 10 DEFENSEMEN is better than him according to you do you know how that sounds and how extremely inconsistent it is? You hate detroit --> hate lidstrom --> so of course you cant admit he's the best.. Well i know im right and you're wrong you are just pathetic..

[BIGCHILL3993]

You're right I hate OVERRATED GARBAGE like the REDWINGS. I am sick in tired of the media sucking their dick!!..Even if you win I have proven to all of you CANADIANS in Windsor, because let's face it there aren't any hockey fans in "HOCKEYTOWN"!!..that the WINGS still SUCK!!!

[BIGCHILL3993]

Congratulations!!! I extend a handshake!!!

[ekermo92]

But hey, I wont be immature.. Pens did good but to be honest red wings is a little better, more routined and experienced. Handshake accepted!

[DetIzRed]

We ruined your world at the Mellon Arena as well. Except, we got what was important when all that you got was one more game.

[infecticide2008]

kronwall made the best goal for the pens thanx

[WarmothGuitarist]

"kronwall made the best goal for the pens thanx"

Fleury made the best goal for the Wings...the Stanley Cup clinching goal that is...

[hockeyfanTJ]

pens suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[BIGCHILL3993]

See all you jackasses from Detroit with your asses puckered up tightly for Game 6 in Pittsburgh!!!...30 seconds away so close yet so far!! too bad so sad for now!! you will have to wait if it is at all going to happen for you!!!

[BIGCHILL3993]

Go play your stupid "clutch and grab trap" !!Pens should just play pond hockey tomorrow because I know the Wings can't outscore them you ASSCLOWN from CANADA!!

[Ulquiorra4th]

Calm down dude, who cares who can out score the other team its about who wins the game, and if Penguins cant find a way to beat Detriot in these finals then hats off to Detriot. If Detriot cant finish off this series and Penguins win, Hats off to the penguins then. But who ever wins is the best this year no matter what or how they got there.

[BIGCHILL3993]

Dude, Mind your own business!!

[BIGCHILL3993]

My point exactly!!..Go look up the spelling of "PIGEON" in the dictionary and you well see the CORRECT spelling...ASSCLOWN!!! I can name at least for defensemen better than Lidstrom..

1) Phaneuf

2) Pronger

3) Zubov..(when healthy)

4) THE POSITION IS LIGHT!!!....wins by default!!

GO win your Cup...you are obviously not from Detroit or the U.S because I can tell the way you spelled "BEHAVIOR" EH???...DIMWIT CANADIAN!!!

[ekermo92]

And i can tell that you're very immature from your tendency of throwing totally irrelevant comments at me like "ASSCLOWN" and "PIGEON" etc.. what are you, 12? And btw did those 4 defensemen ever win 5 norris trophies in 6 years? No they did not. Did they win stanley cup 3 times? No they did not.. Ask any expert in the world they'll say that lidstrom is the greatest D and that is indisputable.. Your just a supporter to your own team so of course you wont say lidstrom is the greatest. get lost

[BIGCHILL3993]

Ok there CLEM!!! Lidstrom the best defensemen EVER??...Well I know of at least 10better. 1) Bobby Orr 2) Doug Wilson 3) Raymond Bourque 4) Al MacInnis 5) Paul Coffey 6) Brad Park 7) Doug Harvey 8) Scott Neidermayer 9) Chris Pronger 10) Dion Phaneuf 11) Brian Leetch 12) Larry Robinson 13) Denis Potvin 13) Scott Stevens He isn't even the best defensemen from Sweden ever that is Borje Salming!!

[hakkenarsk]

Erm, no. You haven't got a first.

[WarmothGuitarist]

You put Chris Pronger on that list...which means you just lost all credibility.

Sorry holmes, but Doug Harvey isn't even mentioned anymore when it comes to the top defenseman of all time...and Harvey stil has one more Norris Trophy than Nick. It's between Orr and Lidstrom. Orr is considered the best offensive-defenseman ever, and Lidstrom is considered the best defensive-defenseman ever...period.

[detroitsports77]

true, theres noone in the league who can hold pucks inside the blue line like lidstrom.

[PhenomenalKing]

LOL

"Well I know of at least 10better."

Doug Wilson, Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, BRIAN LEETCH, Paul Coffey & Scott Stevens aren't even better than Lidstrom and DION PHANEUF is too young to be compare to Lidstrom

You lose

[gowings4402]

for some of those pittsburgh fans its not a charge, he left his feet after contact so its ok

[phille22]

it's obviously a clean hit. he hit him with his fucking ass, haha

[swizlestick]

he looks like a ballet dancer...

[ekermo92]

and you seem like an idiot..

no one hits as excellent as kronWALL of PAIN

[homerj519]

BIGCHILL3993, If detroit is the asshole of the earth, SHITSBURGH IS THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF IT

[BIGCHILL3993]

Go board up another skyscraper!!...Your city is third world and that is being polite..Like I said Detroit makes Philly and Cleveland look like a resort!!

[hakkenarsk]

And you bring shame to the whole nation.

[480vPowerSystem]

I know, I know, these comments were made a long time ago. But I have family in 84. I've been to Pittsburgh many times. And it's just as shitty there as it is in Detroit. I know that because I was born in Detroit and left there when I was twelve. Both places are ghetto slum shitholes. I live just outside of London now. Which has both Pittsburgh and Detroit beat when it comes to shitsville!

[milcarb86]

kronwall is a fucking machine, he's been laying out a whole bunch of people left and right in these playoffs....he will do the same in pittsburgh, no doubt about it, he aint gonna get hammered like some of ya'll saying

[phille22]

I can't understand why leaving your feet would be so bad. It's makes him lighter, if you keep a low position when you hit, you become stronger and get better balance. You can see that Kronwall doesn't leave his feet until he encounters with theother guy. It's not like he's jumping into them.

[BIGCHILL3993]

Leaves his feet everytime!!!! PENALTY !!!....This pylon gets away with murder!!..Wait til they get to Pittsburgh, these clowns won't be flying around like they do in Detroit!!!..Oh by the way which is the ASSHOLE of the EARTH!!

[ekermo92]

The thing is you idiot;

Detroit is better than Pittsburgh, the series are 3-1 in their favor.

And Kronwall is the best hitter ever!

Pens are the pussies who for example hits Franzen in the face with their fists due to his prior concussion. Now WHAT ABOUT THAT you idiot how cheap is'nt that?

[BIGCHILL3993]

Where were you after Game 3??..Oh, NOW you're COCKY!!!...You still need four to win the cup ingrate!!....Franzen is OVERRATED!! just like th ewhole Wings team..The Pens are beating themselves, you get EVERY bounce!! and up until last night EVERY call as well!!..Even if you win the CUP you still suck!!...You are liucky SJ and ANAHEIM were eliminated somehow by Dallas!!..No Detroit isn't the ASSHOLE of the EARTH it makes Cleveland and Philadelphia look like a RESORT AREA!!

[ekermo92]

You really make me sigh. No words can describe how extremely PATHETIC you are BIGCHILL.. Franzen have most points in the playoffs, and he missed 6 GAMES due to concussion-before he got no recognition now tell me HOW THE FUCK is he overrated and HOW THE FUCK are wings overrated? You're just making shit up as you want it to be no consistency.. The cheap ref calls are against wings no doubt look at f.e game#1 waved off holmstrom goal interference THERE WAS NO CONTACT AND HE WAS NEVER IN THE CREASE!

[BIGCHILL3993]

Beautiful goal by your buddy pylon Kronwall!!!

Is the ass puckered tightly??? Game 6 Wednesday here in Pittsburgh you puke!!

HOCKEYTOWN??? What a joke???

[DetIzRed]

If we're a joke what does that make you guys, you lost to a joke.

[ekermo92]

And btw.. If you say pens were "so much" better in game3 you're so lost.. Look at games 1 and 2.. Now how superior was'nt detroit? 4-0(5-0)/3-0 pens did not even score for 137 mins.. Still in game 3 detroit had pens on their knees until the last seconds and pen won with 1 goal, detroit won the shots. If you call franzen overrated just look at malkin(!) he has'nt scored for 7-8 games now? he missed an open goal in game 4? Only chance in your 1.5min 5 AGAINST 3 was when Zetterberg hit the post..!

[BIGCHILL3993]

Mental Midget...!!!!..Zetterberg and Datsyuk OVERRATED..not to mention OLD MAN LIDSTROM!!..I agree Malkin is in the tank and needs to be analyzed further, maybe dealt!! his mental toughness sucks..But please don't sell me the bag of goods that the Wings are that much more superior than the Pens..You play a fuckin trap like the Devils for god's sake!! You played 2 injured teams NSH and Colorado and struggled with Dallas!!!I said you may win but you still suck and Detroit a third world city!!!

[Ulquiorra4th]

Dude show some respect for for Lidstrom. Your team is going to be up there in the cup chace for years to come and will most likly win the cup some other year, if not this year. Lidstrom is going to go down as one of the best defense men of all time, and deserves a nod from all NHL fans. P.S. Datsyuk and Zetterberg are rate up there in Crosby and Malakin in talent and are awesome to way players just look at what Zetterberg did in that 5 on 3 which was clean.

[BIGCHILL3993]

One last thing..Mind of a pigeon!! In a battle of wits you are grossly unarmed!!

[ekermo92]

You just proved that you are the idiot with the lack of arguments by claiming that i was "as smart as a pidgeon".. You dont know a shit about me, you have no experience of my behaviour or reasoning so you cant come to that conclusion.. And why argue about Lidstrom who will win his 5th norris in the last 6 years? does'nt that speak for itself? And what the hell is your problem? How can you "suck" by winning the hardest thing there is in the world of sports(stanley). And wings had injuries aswell

[BIGCHILL3993]

Leaves his feet EVERYTIME!!!!..NO CALL EVER!!...He is a Pylon that will be exploited in Pittsburgh!!!

[arubashooterboy]

Yeah, jumping into the air to check someone isn't a penalty at all.

[Jay333]

cry much

[graymondiv]

he left his feet after impact, the only one i would say was illegal was one of the hits against nashville, the one where he looked like superman.

[J04D8N91]

o i know right but if you stay on your feet its a penalty. stop bitching

[chadeley]

Its a penalty if you leave your feet. Rule 43.1: Charging is a minor penalty imposed on a player or goalkeeper who skates or JUMPS IN TO, or charges an opponent in any way.

If you hit someone square, your not going to leave your feet. Whether or not your in the air before or after you hit someone, your still jumping at them to hit them.

Kronwall= Dirty. I'm sorry to say, but its the truth.

[WarmothGuitarist]

Correction... you can leave your feet after impact...but not before.

As you'll notice, Kronwall doesn't leave his feet until after impact
