Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs: Can the goalies be stopped?

Living in Michigan means I see plenty of Red Wing games.

So, based on that, where the hell did Ville Leino's playoff ability come from?

refs missed another loose puck, again. what a joke. Jon asked the right question, is this the NBA?

montreal can thank the refs for this one. they wont get the same treatment on game 7. the biggest joke of the post season so far.

You do remember that the first missed loose puck took away a Montreal goal, right?

I also remember 4 minutes of 5 on 3, and a 5 minute major, and our top player getting kicked out.

the refs handed them that game on a platter. Boston didnt help themselves with special teams either though.

The Wings started out that year figuring to play him on the third/fourth lines and ease him into our system. We had all those injuries at the deadline and I believe we needed to get rid of someone after picking up Drew Miller off waivers earlier in the year after the parade to the press box began. He'd had his chances at second line minutes here when it was starting to look questionable that Detroit would even make the playoffs, and couldn't live up to his suddenly increased expectations. So he gets a change of scenery and, what a shock, plays well for Philly.

Good lord. The first 5x3 occurred after a too many men on the bench penalty and the Seidenberg slash, which the ref had the choice of either calling that or the blatant trip he followed with.

The second 5x3 came from "your best player" (who ain't done squat this series) with a hit form behind and a delay of game.

Quit whining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, time for the Game of the Evening.

Prediction: Chicago scores first, but Vancouver rallies to win and avoid the punchlines for one more round.
