Hoh boy, it's getting nasty out there.

I actually got to sit and watch an entire playoff game yesterday; two entire games to be exact.
And boy do the Flames/Wings Nucks/Stars have a hate-on for each other.

I like the chippy, somewhat 'dirty' stuff sometimes, but when a player crosses the line and it's not just 'in the moment of the game', its downright dangerous; attempt to injure stuff.
Like Alex Burrows of the Canucks; who the fuck is this pansy-ass wannabe punk anyways? He's a nobody, that's who he is. Now, I am not a Dallas Stars fan, but to slash Brenden Morrow from behind on the back on the ankle is pretty low. Morrow ain't one to back down, so he came over to the bench and let Burrows have it verbally. Boy, do I wish I knew what they said to each other. Probably just a lot of profanity and 'you better watch your back' stuff I'm sure.





The Stars, in their history; going back to their days as the Minnesota North Stars, have yet come back to win a series when down 3-1, but now is a good a time as any to start.

As for another nobody acting like an idiot, take a look at Jamie MacLennan. He comes in in relief for Kipper in a 5-1 game and turns into a fucktard. Whacking and hacking at Franzen, it got him suspended and his stupidity was contagious as the whole team got into the dirty stick work and essentially got suspended and fined for it.

Calgary Flames goaltender Jamie McLennan has been suspended five games, Calgary coach Jim Playfair has been fined $25,000 and the Flames’ organization has been fined $100,000 for a variety of actions late in Game Five of the team’s Western Conference Quarter-final series against the Detroit Red Wings.





Way to be (F)lames, way to be.

As for game 6 tonight, maybe it won't be as nasty. Could be more nasty; let's hope the refs put an end to it before it starts though. That's not hockey, that's being idiotic.
So far this series has been a complete homer's series, with the Flames sucking something fierce in Detroit, but playing solid at home. What gives? It's carried over from the Flames regular season play. I don't see how a team can be so Jekyll and Hyde. Even if the Flames do manage to win at home tonight, the Wings will win game 7; that's just how this series is going. You aren't going to go far in the playoffs if you can't win on the road when you also don't have home ice advantage.

The 2nd round for the East is set with the Devils beating the Lightning today. Mostly due to my Marty playing stellar in net for the Devils.
The Devils will face the Senators, with the Rangers taking on the Sabres.
Predictions for the 2nd round after the Wild (nasty) West is set.
