I think it is funny that you all are complaining about the refs, we both had only 1 PP goal. I also find it funny that your team went to the papers before the series even started and were complaining. Do you and your team have no confidence? You were making excuses for losing before you were even losing.
Gee... we had a puck bounce off the ice into the net (albeit the Penguins goalie leaped like a basketball center) which was played with a high stick but maintained...
but yet....
Oh, crap. Guess our logic doesn't work.
Better luck next time. You better win game 2, or we'll have your a$$es in 5 games.
Who cares, if we were still using the old NHL rules, we still would have made the playoffs, not a thing would change, well, except game 1 of this series....
Actually... I don't know how validated this is, to be serious, but I've heard the NHL's playoff ratings this year are very comparable to the NBA's nielsen-wise, despite airing on Versus compared to ESPN.
