You and me both, I can't stand them being in the East. Gross, most of the East teams have X-Pac heat. I can only stomach the Leaves and Habs. Maybe the Pens and Bruins, all the other ones, yuck.
Not a big surprise on Smith, he was by far the best defenseman on the Wings if you went by analytics. From what I remember it wasn't close in those stats, yet he would still be scratched. The Wings are noticeably anti-analytics. They haven't been a serious Cup contender since Nick hung them up.
Damn! Missed it! I watched the whole game and turned the channel with 4 minutes to go. Just seen on sportscenter Melrose talking about the Ducks comeback. Was like - what is he talking about? Switched back now lol
I went over to a couple of oilers forums and saw nothing but whining about officiating. Primarily the 3rd goal at the end of regulation.
Those shmoes were droning on about how the NHL has it rigged for the Ducks because it will bring bigger money in the next round.
LOFL
The Ducks in a basin of about 25+M people and the 2nd largest TV market have maybe 40k die hard fans that watch and attend Ducks games. Nobody else cares. Their complaint is nonsense.
I also think the 3rd goal complaint is sour grapes. KESSLER didnt just lay himself down in the crease, he was knocked there and kudos to the wiley vet for subtly doing what he had to do down there without drawing attention.
And lots of WWE references, though Kesler did have a Anaconda Vise type chokehold on that goalie pad. Talbot would have been better off staying down on the play. Hindsight is a treacherous mirror.
