commentary...

for your information,the Red Wings have been winless in five games(5-4-1),with a heartbreaking loss,in overtime,to Minnesota Wild,last night,which made me upset,but honestly not for the reasons that you may think... they played an undisciplined,but very good,defensive game,last night... i can not blame the referees,except for the missed hit on Niklas Kronwall,at end of game,that should have been called on Mikko Koivu... the way that the Red Wings lost last night i have seen so many times that i say,"that is hockey",and i can shrug that off,but the comments of NHL Network pundit Kevin Weekes made me see red... Weekes was a goaltender in NHL,but a backup,mostly... he called the hit on Niklas Kronwall,"physical",and then started to extol the virtues of Koivu's game,and did not mention how hurt Kronwall may be... i have a question for Kevin,"how would you like to be hit in the chops,with the power of Koivu's elbow(without the mask),and start counting your chicklets,or know how your face may feel,with an elbow shot that left Kronwall motionless on the ice??" would you like that,Mr. Weekes? i would recommend that Mr. Weekes shut up,and be a little thoughtful,when expressing an opinion... in other words,shut your mouth...
