Thread: Stanley Cup Finals Chat - Red Wings vs Penguins

hey, the rule is discretionary to the letter... sorry.

malkin would've had to decapitate someone in order to get suspended.

Christ, even Tampa Bay could manage to sell their barn out in the Finals... Hockeytown indeed.

Please don't say that out loud anymore because you will be pointed and laughed at. Do you have any clue what the Detroit economy is like right now? You don't think that has anything to do with it? Please don't say dumb things. Thanks


up 2-0 without Datsyuk, wow.

I work in automotive. Our global office is in Holland, Michigan. I'm off this week unpaid as a cost savings. I'm well aware what it's like in Detroit. I've had a maintenance superintendent from our Detroit Chrysler plant at my plant for the past two weeks making God-knows-what an hour putting little nylon blocks on our shipping racks because his plant is shut down.

Still doesn't excuse Hockeytown from having empty seats where cameras can see them in the Stanley Cup ****ing Finals.

Let 'em move down. Sell them at a discount. Do something .

The empty seats are due to the fact that those seats are sold to corporations not individual people. At least that's what I've read.

Somebody should've given the refs a copy of the latest rulebook.

Anyone happen to notice Miro Satan kinda third manning in on that Malkin/Zetterberg 'fight'?

Which rule? The penalty shot or the instigator? I know the instigator is discretionary as Campbell pointed out. If the player is sent out to send a message in the last five minutes, then it's a suspension. In Malkin's case, he was caught in the moment. I'm pretty sure the penalty shot rule in automatic though.

I don't doubt that. Still think they ought to let people move down though. I mean good lord, if nobody is in them by the start of the third...

(I also bring this up because you know EVERYONE in the media would absolutely blast L.A. if we had empty seats in the SCF.)
