I rarely cross-post, but here goes...
SJ fan, now as a former Michigan resident I am rooting for the Wings,
BUT...
WTF? I mean really, WTF was that?!
The Sharks just survived (well didn't survive) 2 rounds of rock-em-
sock-em knock-out hockey. The Sharks got the stuffing knocked out of
them on a regular basis. All the typical suspects banged our guys, but
Morrow in particular played in a way that would have drawn a call on
nearly every one of his ****fts had it been in the regular season.
But I was fine with it. I really was. I like tough hockey. I didn't
complain. But then I watched last night's game. The refs sent a very
loud and clear signal that virtually any thing will called when done
to the Wings. The 5-on-3 call was absurd. There was stuff like that
every other minute in the Stars/Sharks series.
Right now the Stars are being penalized at well over a 2 to 1 ratio in
terms of minutes per period versus the Sharks series.
I mean is a little consistency too much to ask for?
I am still rooting for the Wings, but I gotta say, if it's going to be
like this, they won't be hoisting the Cup in my mind, they'll be
hoisting the Barney the Dinosaur Goblet for teams that never had to
face any sort of physical challenge.
Done with my rant/troll, whatever you want to call it. Apologies in
advance.
