Abel to Yzerman

Do You Have The Fire Down Below?

Because that’s what will be required tonite.  I see overtime in our immediate future and all that does is suck. 

Your tax dollars have done me no favors this week as comms off the warship have been non-existent.  And I don’t have the right kind of thumbs to post consistently from my phone.  This serves as an exception. 

OT tonite.  Guaranteed. 

Also: a belated thanks to all who showed up for last weekend’s west coaster.  Game 6 may be a redux. 

Live blog it bitches.

Jovo stepped on Jimmah’s pad there.  That was pretty bizarre.

Homer stands within a foot of the goalie and they call it back, but that’s a good goal?!

I dont know if that is interference… Jimmy was outside the crease.

Not saying we dont deserve a shit load of called back goals going the other way, but that looked ok to me.

Even worse is that Franzen just got interfered with worse in the zone than what Datsyuk supposedly did.

Think it’s been answered already—it’s Howard tapping his own posts while play is down in the other end to remind him of his positioning.

Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 04/23/10 at 11:15 PM ET

Really? makes sense i guess, but didn’t think it was that simple

that was very lucky but we got a break on that Schneid shot during the PK…

And if their defensemen are going to pinch that far down, I want to see some odd-man rushes going the other way.

I don’t like what I’m seeing from the Wings today. I hate playing this Phoenix team. I’d rather be running and gunning with the Blackhawks right about this time…

the crease is basically meaningless blue paint in today’s NHL.

(2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease

http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26480

This rule is based on the premise that an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed

69.4 Contact Outside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates any contact with a goalkeeper, other than incidental contact, while the goalkeeper is outside his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

make sure the cop is a hockey fan, and you’ll get the key to the city instead of the cuffs.
