Stanley Cup Playoffs

[BaconSoda]

You know, as demonstrated I have totally been Mr. Optimist about the Wings, but seriously, I'm so disappointed right now. The amount that depends on the goalie in this game is ridiculous. We have to work so hard to get past some guy that uses oversized pads and had the good grace of being born with elephantiasis that when the puck gets back, we're dead tired, as seen in the 2nd goal Nashville scored today where Filpulla was just too tired to concentrate on what was going on and only realized the late man too late (ha!). Should change the description to "Goalie game" instead of "team game." See: LA Kings/Vancouver for more details (though that series tickles me all sorts of funny).

And honestly? Show me a team which plays in its own zone for 40 minutes and doesn't take a penalty. The amount of times Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond scream out something that the Predators did that wasn't called is ridiculous, including a penalty shot when Legwand clasped his hand over the puck in the crease. And then Cleary gets penalized for checking someone behind the net last game. Right. Anyway...

If not for Rinne, I feel like we'd have swept Nashville. But I guess that's how it goes. The guys who can figure out how to exploit the system the most win.

But you know what I really hate? I hate the fact that the NHL did nothing to that jerk who cracked Zetterberg's helmet in two places and he's rewarded for being malicious. That's crap. That's absolutely crap. And you can see the smear all over the rest of the Playoffs.
