There is a simple solution to this nonsense. In a playoff series, make the penalties carry over to the next game. A 10 minute misconduct is meaningless if its delivered at the 60 minute mark. But if you have to serve those 10 minutes in the next game, you might think twice about it.

From Mlive.com:
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anaheim Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer rarely fights, and the Detroit Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk is a three-time winner of the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. Yet there they were, two superstars, exchanging punches...
Excerpt:
Most other players claimed they don't know what set it off or were reluctant to talk about it.
Datsyuk shrugged it off as just a part of hockey.
"I don't want to talk about that," Datsyuk said. "It's not my priority."
Said Niedermayer: "There was a lot going on, I don't know how it all started. The next thing you know my gloves are off. That doesn't happen too often. I didn't even know who it was at first. I took a couple of punches to the face. I guess after a couple, I figured I'd try a couple."19.1119, NO LONGER WAITING

This place is now almost neck and neck with Mlive user whining regarding the game.

But since Bobby Ryan is playing in the games anyway, its not really a big deal.
The media just hasn't been made aware of what appears to be common knowledge for those close to the team.
As i see it No one is whining. No one is claiming it cost them the game or anything. They are simply pointing out that the Ducks act like goons because they act like goons no whining. Just calling it like it is!To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

I guess you only notice that kind of stuff when it is affecting YOUR team.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

Btw, I think I would enjoy taking in a high level playoff hockey game with you someday. No, I know I would enjoy it.Last edited by Panoptes; May 13, 2009, 12:47 PM.19.1119, NO LONGER WAITING

Why wouldn't the Wings expect the Ducks to come out fighting in game 6? It was win or go home for them. They should have known better.
What really kills me is that the Wings did look uninspired. They seemed like they were just going through the motions. They had a chance to put them away and didn't and now will have to take their chances in a game 7 where any bounce can happen.
Whichever team wins though, they will have their hands full with a young, energetic Chicago team that appears to be hungry......and will be rested.All emotions can be traced back to two basic ones........love and fear.
