Evil Prevailed

Well it's over. Calgary lost last night 2-1 in double overtime (at least they made the Wings work for it - unlike in Game 5).

I really feel that the refs were incredibly biased. Last night the Wings got away with a ton of penalties. Just to name a few;

  • Zetterman tackling Kipprusoff in the net after he stops the puck (with a little head butt thrown in) - no call
  • A blatant interference at mid ice on Tanguay - no call
  • A vicious Red Wing cross check to the ribs (sorry, can't remember the players) in front of the ref at the Flames' net - hard enough to cause a injury stop in play, but apparently not enough for a penalty.
Basically the Wings outplayed the Flames, they out-shot Calgary 55-21 - OUCH. While I'm on the subject, Kiprusoff was amazing. He's the only reason it wasn't a complete blowout.

My biggest reason for sadness? Bertuzzi actually managed to squeak two goals out of this series. I can only hope Mr. Thug remains pointless for the rest of the playoffs. If Detroit MUST make the finals, I hope Bertuzzi can't play - leaving his name off the cup.
