Round One : Tampa Bay Lightning v Detroit Red Wings

[theohall]

Game 6 was horribly officiated, yet the Lightning overcame the 7-2 PP disadvantage with the win.

This is in spite of Kronwall blatantly leaving both feet while throwing an elbow at Kucherov for which he wasn't penalized. Should be suspended.

Ericsson got a double minor after a scrum in near the Wings net which was matched with minors against Johnson and Stamkos. What did Ericsson do? He grabbed Johnson's head in both hands near the goal line, skated him behind the net, and slammed his head into the glass. Then roughing continued between Johnson, Stamkos, another Wings players (unpenalized), and Ericsson.

Yeah, the Wings played this game dirty and lost in spite of not really being punished for head hunting.

Should be suspensions, but probably won't be due to Quintal being too much of a chickenshit to suspend anyone in the playoffs. With a game 7 on the line, he will be even more of a pussy.

Meanwhile, the Diving Things fell down any time they got touched with a stick and damn near all of them were called against the Lightning.

Both Wings goals - the Lighting should have been on power plays, but weren't because of non-calls on things they repeatedly called against the Lightning.

Game 7 is gonna be crazy, can't wait.

[Portland Blues]

1-game suspension for Kronwall.

Love to see Tampa Bay win Game 7.

Detroit goes down the toilet in game 7. What a great game.

Tampa in 6.

Sorry

You're right. I should have said Tampa in 7.

The bigger take from this is that:

1) Bishop advances

and

2) He'll be playing against Carey Price whom, if memory serves me, the Blues were offered their choice of either Halak or Price and history reminds us they picked Halak. The one they didn't pick advances.

Were we offered Price? I thought the Canadiens decided on Price and that's why they traded Halak.

I think that's what it was. If I remember, the Blues were interested in both and the Canadiens eventually said Price was their guy, so the Blues made the deal for Halak.
