Remember that game against Canisius when one of their fans threw one of our little freebie cowbells on the ice and we got a bench minor? :doh:

 

I had TOTALLY forgotten about that! Canisius fans are something else though...

I really wanted them to make a series out of it but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

I don't think Detroit will let them. Not sure if many teams would look any better against the Wings right now and the Wings are doing it without one of the best players in the league.

 

The music in the Joe Louis Arena is awesome. Forget their GM, Pegula needs to go after the guy who programs their music.

They let them. They'll still probably hang on, but nobody at The Joe thought it would come down to a one-goal affair.

 

From the 'Yotes perspective, they've just got to be kicking themselves, because most of those wounds were self-inflicted.

That interference call for the 5 on 3 was an outstanding call by the officials. I wish they called that every time.

Yep. Happened a couple of times on Thursday with no call. I think, or at least hope, the complaints about the officiating in Game 1 are directed more to the non-calls against Philly than to the calls against Buffalo (most of which were good, one (Montador #2) of which was probably good, and one (Morissonn) of which was garbage). But in general, I would like to see the NHL like it was in 2006.

 

Phoenix surprised me. I took a nap at 4-0 and woke up just in time to catch the 5-on-3 and exciting ending.

I was rooting for the comeback... that 5 on 3 had me kicking myself though. It was like they kept trying to set up the man at the faceoff circle to the right of Howard (left from Howard's POV) but the dude was a right handed shot, so a one timer was virtually impossible. Oh well, though... they got a goal and then couldn't finish the comeback at even strength.

That's a big penalty for the playoffs. I think it is deserved.

What did Pronger get when he stomped Kesler? Eight games. Mind you playoff game suspensions equate to double I think. Plus Pronger was a repeat offender but that stomp by Ryan could have been career ending had it done damage. 2 seems fair.

Ryan should be done for the rest of the series. That is a clear intent to injure.

According to the suspension chart, he gets zero games, so I'm surprised that the NHL did anything at all. But a longer one would have been a good idea.

I checked in on the Caps-Rangers game when there was 3 minutes left and it was tied. I figure that it would be going to OT, but the Rangers scored with less than 2 minutes.
