Babcock pretty pissed during his interview with Engblom

Babcock pretty pissed during his interview with Engblom

I couldn't hear what he was saying, what was the general idea? Pissed about all of the penalties I imagine.

[hail2mich]

I couldn't hear what he was saying, what was the general idea? Pissed about all of the penalties I imagine.

He said something like, "These are the 2 least penalized teams in NHL. What's different? Refs are trying to get to SCF like the rest of us."

[drownwithyou]

Haha awesome.

[hail2mich]

Wings will be on the PP for the last 5 seconds of the period. Filppula got hit with a high stick.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Alright, start the next period on the Powerplay.

[drownwithyou]

Cut ice for the rest of the power play... even it up boys.

[lordstanley]

Meanwhile CBC's Mark Lee and Kevin Weekes are the driest, colorless broadcast tandem out there. They simply state the facts in a monotonous dreary tone. Haven't even commented on the penalties.

[hail2mich]

Flyers have come back to tie it up in the third

[Mr.TaterSalad]

When Weeks was on NHL Network and NBC doing pre-game/post-game coverage I found him to be witty and entertaining. What happened?

10 minutes left in the third I believe... my roommate is going nuts. That is going to be a great series.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Let's get that second PP goal!

[lordstanley]

I think he can be, with the right guy. I've seen him better. But Lee really sucks the life out of a room. I don't mind it for a road game I guess.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Woops...That was behind the net!

[hail2mich]

Good God. Oh, thanks ref for the quick whistle too.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Off-setting, what?

[hail2mich]

If it was embellishing, then why is there a penalty against Nashville?

[Detroit Rock City]

HUGE SAVE JIMMY!!

[hail2mich]

Huge save by Jimmy on the breakaway

[Mr.TaterSalad]

BIG. SAVE. JIMMY.

[Shinma]

HUGE SAVE!

[drownwithyou]

Big save by James, holy crap!

[mr0zip0]

Put that m-f-er in the net!! UGG

[mr0zip0]

No way Nashville can survive 12 more minutes of this constant attack.

Right?!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

We need to win those faceoffs!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

24-9 shots on goal since the first.

[mr0zip0]

sakjdbfc;qdljkbn!!!

[hail2mich]

Wow, how is the puck staying out?

[mr0zip0]

I would have forgiven the refs had that gone in.

[lordstanley]

Wings need to keep buzzing, get a bounce. They've been Nashville's equal, if not their superior, tonight.

[lordstanley]

Datsyuk was flying.

[lordstanley]

Crud, looks like a horrible giveaway. Need the replay. 3-1.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

!K-C-U-F

[hail2mich]

****. Turnover behind the net

[lordstanley]

Maybe just outhustled. That's just as bad.

[Detroit Rock City]

Terrible turnover leading to that goal. No chance for Jimmy

[mr0zip0]

Should be a 1-1 game if not for those damn bad bounces

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Where was the call on that?

[Shinma]

Well, at least Philly won.

[hail2mich]

Wings with a PP. Must score here
