Howard and Pavelski's roughing penalties, Game 1 vs Detroit (0-1)

[kunstssst]

Awesome series, the first 3 games the Sharks snowed little jimmy every chance they got. Hilarious. It worked, they got under Little Jimmy's skin and won the series.

[dandandamattressman]

A snow shower is almost always called unsportsman-like...i always see it get called. Except in this series. The Sharks did it just about every time and didnt get called...even when they made it blatantly obvious like this one. Pavelski actually had to pick up speed and get in front of Stuart to get the spray in there...blows my mind.

[Iash92]

this was one of the best playoff series in recent memory!

[Link9mm]

Ok so where was the "double punch"? Last time I knew using your hands to push someone was not punching.

[Linny6511]

Howard takes no shit!

[JayP812]

Pavelski was just trying to stop. Would you rather have him crash into you? Shower was necessary, punch was not. Not Sharks fan or Wings fan, just neutral observer.

[mrredwings88]

i hope howie turns to a mini thomas

[Scream42011]

these announcers sound like they got a dick in the mouth..

[Scream42011]

sharks suck... there diving there crying and there cheating doesn't get them anyways.. .they always choke and they will continue to choke for year.. . fuck you san jose.... oh by the way..how bout that trade to the wild? hahahah fucking idiots... sharks are done.

[OVDome1126]

And for the record, Howard reacted just like any other goalie would when they get sprayed for the 2nd time in the game. Pavelski certainly could have avoided doing that, and if the officials had any nuts, they would have called JUST Pavelski after warning the Sharks earlier in the game. And yes, these announcers are homers. Worse than any hometown announcers I've ever heard.

[matthewvanderlee]

@OVDome1126 He could of avoided trying to stop while he is skating 25 m/hr into the goaltender. You are retarded.

[theyearofourlordig88]

GO SHARKS!!!

[JeePnoY1]

WINGS FANS. Your season ended in San Jose.  Go home to Motor City, go sell some GM cars while the Sharks gonna be in Vancouver handling business to prove whos the best in the West.. ya'll got owned 2 years in a row by the Sharks.

[punkassguy]

@JeePnoY1

Really? We got "owned"? We embarrassed the shit out of you, and you beat us by one goal, at home, in the third period, with our entire second line injured. Yeah man... owned. Now have fun choking in the third round and STILL not having any cups, just like last year.

Because I don't think the linesmen are going to help you out with faceoffs and penalties in the conference finals.

[JeePnoY1]

@punkassguy

yes they got owned, because they did all that dam work to catch up in the series but ultimately FAILED. efforts were in vein. so shut your a$s up, so hyped up on Youtube representing your DEAD Season Wings. Theyre DONE, i repeat, theyre done for this season, so get over it and STFU. go on keep mentioning how many cups the wings have cuz thats what i keep hearing from Wings Fans how many cups they have, well this season and last season ,NONE for ya'll thanks to Sharks

[punkassguy]

@JeePnoY1

So.. let me get this straight. Losing three games that could have gone either way on lucky bounces, then coming back and dominating play for three games and winning three in a row, and then losing game seven in YOUR building by one goal with three of our top forwards down and the officiating handing the Sharks every faceoff... that's getting owned? Because that sounds like BARELY avoiding extreme embarrassment to me. And for the record, the Sharks STILL won't get to the finals. Sorry

[OVDome1126]

@JeePnoY1 And yet, after beating the Wings two seasons in a row, it has gotten the Sharks NOWHERE. All of the effort that it took your two best teams in 20 years to beat two average Detroit teams was in VAIN since you still haven't gotten to the Stanley Cup Finals. You played in more playoff games this season than other seasons, but it means NOTHING because San Jose is not a playoff team. They're a regular season wonder and suck out in the playoffs. Will never be half the franchise as Detroit

[punkassguy]

@JeePnoY1 First of all, you're a mouthbreathing troglodyte who needs to take several English classes to put a stop to your utter and complete fucking butchering of the language.

Second, the league is always going to try to bring in more money. The Wings have the biggest fan base in the NHL, they know we're on board, win or lose. Sharks, Coyotes, Penguins in '08, '09... of course they're going to call games their way and try to inject some intensity.

[punkassguy]

@punkassguy So, to cap: your team could compete with the Wings because the officiating is on your side. Notice how you got to the conference finals and got owned? It's because the league likes Vancouver better than San Jose. The refs stop helping you out, and you get shown up as the talentless goon squad that you are.

Wings have 11 cups in 85 years. That's a cup every 7.27 years. The Sharks have... uh, zero.. in 20 years. I know, math is hard, but basically, the Wings are better. Sorry.

[Scream42011]

@JeePnoY1 and how did the sharks do against the canucks? ?? ooh thats right.. CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE!!!..

[zcm007attack]

@Scream42011 So what? Same thing happens to 28 other teams every year.

[TaMPiCo53]

@Scream42011 and how did the wings do against the sharks, ohhh they got eliminated? guess that means they must have choked

[RedW1ngs13]

@TaMPiCo53 how did u guys do in the stanley cup finals? oh wait u lost to canucks... how many cups have u guys had? oh wait u guys havent even been to the stanley cup finals!

[kunstssst]

@RedW1ngs13 We havent been to the finals, right. We've only had a team for 21 years dickface. The redwings have only like four cups in almost 100 years - pathetic.

[RedW1ngs13]

@kunstssst lol four cups? try 11 buddy lol

[jkoz148]

@kunstssst In the Red Wings first 21 years, they had three Stanley Cups

[Swicey69]

@kunstssst They have 11 cups. 3rd most int the NHL and may have another one this year.

[JeePnoY1]

how the f*ck was that a penalty for Pavelski, what should he have done? fly over Howard?

[RedWingsTVdotCOM]

[b]I know most of the play by play guys are 'homers', but these guys are at the top of the list[/b]

[matthewvanderlee]

@RedWingsTVdotCOM Said like a true homer. Backing up your goaltender who punches Pavelski for no reason. All I can say is pathetic.

[RedWingsTVdotCOM]

@matthewvanderlee Your comment is pathetic and make no sense.

[tenerbri13]

@RedWingsTVdotCOM It's not being a homer. They were wondering why he got called for roughing. Cause getting snow on you isn't exactly "rough."

[flogmolly]

I love Randy & Drew as much as the next Sharks fan, but they are such homers during the playoffs hahaha

[Inub0i]

Oh and Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward Howwwwwwwwwwward

Nooooo cuuuuups. Noooooo cuuuuupppps. Nooooo cuuuuups. Noooooo cuuuuuppps.

[Inub0i]

Pavelski did NOT get a penalty for the snow shower. I can't believe you guys are up in arms and QQing about snow showers. I mean, what goalie DOESN'T get snow showered. Anyway, he got the roughing for punching a Wings player.

Still quit QQing about a little bit of snow.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

SMH

[ncaaisbiased]

C'mon people! Do you seriously think that Jimmy Howard is the first goalie in the history of the NHL to experience several snow showers? It's the playoffs, players are told that if you see a loose puck, you go after it, once it is covered up, you stop. Or would you prefer the skater to plow into the goalie @ full speed instead of stopping? Now THAT would really set off some steam. The issue is that the Sharks are kicking RedWing tail and the Wings fans are pissed off and looking for excuses!

[punkassguy]

@ncaaisbiased

Don't be an idiot. Pavelski is an absolute cocksucker in every way. He does it on purpose, angles his skates deliberately, every time.

[ncaaisbiased]

@punkassguy I make a logical statement, yet I'm the idiot? Your username shows that you lack intelligence in hockey. If you don't like the snow showers, then maybe you should consider not watching hockey anymore. Snow showers are part of the game, get used to it!

[punkassguy]

@ncaaisbiased

I said NOT to be an idiot. And really, if your reading comprehension is so poor, I don't think we really need to argue about who's smarter, do you?

Pavelski is a bitch. Watch the games, and tell me how many Wings you see blasting Niemi in the face with ice chips. It's intentional, it's deliberate, and it's dirty and classless. Only shitty players do it. And I think it makes pretty logical sense that it bothers me to see other players doing it, when my team doesn't. Eat me.

[ncaaisbiased]

@punkassguy If you play for one of the undisputed teams to beat (such as the Wings, 4 cups in 14 years), then you should be able to contemplate how aggressive the opposition is going to be in order to beat you. If the Wings can't stand it(see Jimmy Howard displaying his thin skin in this video), then maybe they shouldn't be playing hockey. Snow showers are part of the game, whether they are intentional or not. Get used to it or don't watch hockey anymore.

[punkassguy]

@ncaaisbiased

And I don't really see what my username has to do with anything, that kind of seems like something a little bitch would grasp at when he was mad on the internet, to be honest. Dust yourself off and go home, I'm done with ya.

[majast20]

"is the snow shower a roughing now in the national hockey league?"

no you flying faggoty fuck but it's a penalty. my guess is they took him off for the punch to the detroit d-man's head. could have nailed him for 2 penalties there but didn't.

[bisquik752]

I'm a Wings fan and that was bs, Howard should have gotten at least a double and Pavelski didn't earn anything. Howie has shown some temper fits throughout the season but that was just bad.

[majast20]

@bisquik752 i disagree. pavelski clearly sprayed howard and it was no small shower. if i were officiating i would have given howard 2 for the rough and pavelski 2 for the unsportsmanlike. if howard didn't retaliate i think pavelski should have earned just an unsportsmanlike

[btman]

Wings are gonna win it 4-2 watch.

[uwlwsrpm]

And you know all these snow showers are related... how?

[goalie1131]

fuckin homers

[kevinmuise13]

if you think he is trying to avoid running into him then you are retarded. san jose does this every chance they get, just look at game 2, san jose was clearly try to snow howard, but refs are retarded and give them 3 warnings but 0 panealties.

[UnNaturalNation]

Hey i dont thin howard should of done that but he is defending his ground... BUT if you think... THIS GAME was called right? your a stupid and shouldnt be a hockey fan. When the sharks get down in a game they flop and dive to get calls.. HAPPEND last year and it happend this game. That game was not called right for thw wings. If you a sharks fan and you wnated more calls. Your a dumbass. You know that was a bs game. powerplays 6-2? 4 min penalty in overtime.. no blood? lol NHL!!! FIX YOUR REFS!

[taieca]

@UnNaturalNation Sorry, did the Sharks NOT come back from a 4-0 deficit against the LA Kings? I don't seem to remember any Kings fans bitching about diving and flopping. It's amazing to me how difficult it is for Wings fans to just admit when their team gets outplayed...oh wait, it's THE Detroit Red Wings and they nevvvvver get outplayed.

[Beaviz81]

@UnNaturalNation

Flop and dive? That sounds like the Detroit Red Wings for me. They should have the diving championship by now. And be the defending champs from last year. Even Italian Footballers can learn much from them. Hell Franzen should open his own diving-school and earn millions.

[AaronDowney20]

2:19 is a snow shower roughing now in the national hockey league? wat a fuckin idiot that guy is, cause he clearly saw pavelski in the reply punch flippula at 0:35 and at 0:39 their both saying punching is definitely roughing so...

[MooseTheLegend]

Go refs! They played such a great game last night! What a bunch of morons..

[JonSalhany123]

I guess detroit doesn't see many "Snow Showers" ... pavelski does him dirty with the game tie'n goal.. I killed as many hotwings as possible after this game.

[lilkinz17]

Pavelski got a rough for the punches to Filppula

[uwlwsrpm]

Oh, I'm sorry, Howard doesn't like other hockey players slowing down to avoid him, next time, they should just plow full speed into him.

[metsfn27]

jimmy howard could kick joe pavelskis scrawny bald ass any day.

[TorontoRaptors50]

@metsfn27 haa your right about that.

thats why pusselski went after Valtteri Filppula and not howard.

[diddy93]

@TorontoRaptors50

too bad if your were smart pavelski would hit howard and get thrown outta the game, he was an asset to the game bc he scored the equalizer, and probably knew if he was just standing there Filppula probably would go after him so he decided to hit first...

[bqian1]

@TorontoRaptors50 Cause you know, hitting a goalie is totally acceptable. You're right. instead of a snow shower, pavelski should've just ran straight into Howard instead of trying to stop.

[mybadabad]

@metsfn27 1. Pavelski isn't bald, he just has short hair.

2. Who got the game-tying goal that sent the game into OT? I'll give you a hint, it isn't Jimmy Howard.

(Not taking anything from Detroit's goalie, he played a strong game. But seriously, if you're going to bring that kind of comment of who wins in a fight, you're watching the wrong sport. Go watch boxing or the MMA.)

[RichManitoba]

Howard=Maine pussy.

[PersonWithHair]

Howard got hella maddy, what a little puss.

[KarlElvis]

Howwww-ard!



[Steve2323ZX]

that's bs. Pavelski tried to avoid running into him

[TorontoRaptors50]

@Steve2323ZX ya after he gave him the snow snower. thats kinda why howard got mad.

[romaba11]

@TorontoRaptors50 Your fucking retarded. pavelski is not scrawny at all and howard is the pussy that backed away after punching pavelski in the side of the head twice, giving pavelski no chance to beat howards ass

[Beaviz81]

@Steve2323ZX

Yeah, and the Detroit seems more and more like a bunch of cry-babies. Lidstrom spent much of the game bitching to the refs according to MercuryNews. But that's Detroit for you. When you succeed you are great, if not blame the zebras. They did the same last year. So cry me a river Detroit.

[Steve2323ZX]

@Beaviz81 Yeah, Detroit fans are delusional. The San Jose Sharks organization wanted to build a team that could beat the RW. That's exactly why they hired Todd Mclellan. He was an assistant coach at Detroit for over 3 years. If anyone knows some of the strengths and weaknesses of the RW players it's him. He has spent the last few years building this team with beating Detroit in mind. All the RW fans can do now is cry about the refs.

[Beaviz81]

@Steve2323ZX

Ehm DW has built the team, no doubt with input from Tmac. I just love how the Sharks storm the net nowadays. That's my kind of hockey, and that's how you get opponents in a series battle.

[btman]

@Steve2323ZX ya right idiot. the sharks have been showering all series. unsportsmanlike team.  fuck the sharks

[Steve2323ZX]

@btman fuck you asshole

[fizgigtiznalkie]

@Steve2323ZX you have obviously never played hockey in your life. there's a few things you don't do: own a wheelie bag, kick, spear, fight with a shield on, run a guy from behind and snow the goalie

[Steve2323ZX]

@fizgigtiznalkie just part of the mind game

[TheMars2090]

Howard is ugly dumb fuck!!!!!
