Shaved Ice – March 7

Greetings, hockey fans.  Mid-week is here and it’s time to talk hockey.  Staffer Kalisher in, editor Caples out.

Quick hits

The Red Wings dropped a 3-2 decision last night in Philadelphia.  Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen were responsible for the Wings goals, but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory.

Niklas Kronwall deposited a massive hit on Flyers’ forward Jakub Voracek.  After review by the league, it was determined the hit was clean – despite leaving Voracek flattened.

Highlight reel

Here’s the Kronwall hit.  As promised, it’s a heavy one.

Outside the Mitten

Don’t you wish a statue would be constructed in your honor?  Well, Mario Lemieux got one right outside Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

Former Plymouth Whaler Tyler Seguin posted two goals in the Bruins win, making him Michi-gamer of the night.
