THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT THIS SERIES IS ONLY EXCITING BECAUSE THE TEAMS PLAY RECKLESS, OVERLY EMOTIONAL HOCKEY WITHOUT PROPER STRUCTURE. IT'S DESPERATION AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THESE VIOLENT SWINGS IN MOMENTUM. IT'S EXCITING, BUT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. I HONESTLY FUCKING HATE IT AND EVERYONE ELSE HATES IT, TOO, THEY JUST DON'T REALIZE it.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING TEAM CANADA IN THE OLYMPICS WITH A BUNCH OF PLAYERS TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING THEMSELVES WHILE they NEARLY LOSE TO BELARUS.
THE MAJOR for CHARGING WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY COMPLETE BS AND COMPLETELY LEGIT. WHEN WAS THE LAST LEGIT MAJOR FOR CHARGING IN THE NHL??!? THE BAR IS EXTREMELY HIGH. LIKE I'LL GUESS CLAUDE LEMIEUX ON DRAPER INTO THE OPEN DOOR FOR THE BROKEN JAW WHICH I'LL GUESS WAS THE FUCKING 90's.
On the other, other hand - it was essentially an injury to Smith since they forced him to literally leave a shutout game to go sit in concussion protocol because he might have caught Gypsy Flu from that dirty Serbian.
This series is poison for whatever team comes out because they will have shot their load, just in time to face Colorado...
I THINK EDMONTON CLEARLY BEAT LA BUT DALLAS DESERVED TO BEAT CALGARY AND EVERYONE WOULD'VE been BETTER OFF IF THEY DID.
LET'S NOT FORGET THAT T-BAY IS ONLY GETTING BETTER AND MAN HANDLING THE PRESIDENT'S TROPHY WINNERS INSTEAD OF DRAGGING THAT OUT TO A BRUTAL 7.
