got my normal Saturday thing, likely won’t have time to check in before the game ends

[Mickstix]

What they don't need is to go down 2-0 here, killing a penalty, before the 1st ends.. Feels like LT's made 45 saves already. lol See this shit too often these days. 1 5v5 shot. 2 more on a shit PP..

[Ozzies09tc]

Wth? I misunderstood...


I thought pregame was 1130 and game started at noon


I turn it on with less than 6 to go down by 1??


Fuck the nhl

[Mickstix]

Made it out of the 1st only down 1.  Says 17-6 shots on goal. I don't believe it. Our last 3 shots must of been clears that hit the goalie on accident. 


1-0 Wings after 1.  John Leonard

[Mickstix]

2 - zip to start the 2nd.   

[Mickstix]

I turned that shit off at 3-0. Looks like they ended the 2nd down 4-1


James van Riemsdyk
Elmer Soderblom
Moritz Seider

Aliaksei Protas

[Mickstix]

Fever makes it 4-2. Strome made it 4-3 but the ref waived it off for goalie interference. We challenged.    So, 4-2 with around 9:00 to go. Killing a penalty.

[Ozzies09tc]

That was a bad call, dman pushed protas into goalie, hes backing off, goalie dives into protas, goalie interference


This ref can eat a bag of dicks

[Mickstix]

The Stinks are back!!       Got blown out in play and shots. Gave up 40+.



Dylan Larkin ENG 5-2 is the final.


Tomorrow @ 1pm they run it back in Detroit..

Looks like I missed a great game


 

[Mickstix]

It was definitely too ugly to put on the air at 12:30 in the afternoon. Should of come with an NC-17 rating.. lol
