The last penalty tonight was ****ed up. Bert came in on his check with the normal amount of shove that he should do. The guy just fell forward. Refs didn't signal a penalty until Ronning(god bless his little heart) gave them an earfull over Roloson's gimped body.

doesnt matter how much shove he gave him. That was blatent interference by bertuzzi, he gets away with it so often. i was about to flip out when i thought there wasnt a call on him. that was SO the right call.

Watching the game this morning(4:30 replay on espn2) I believe the reason they won was because that Dupuis goal was just too shocking. The crowd would not shut up and goal was so quick that the light never even came on.
Bertuzzi's interference ended the game officially to me. It was just over in my mind.


I think this may be a shifting in phases out West. Perhaps the Avs, Red Wings, and Stars won't be so much better than everyone else for much longer.

Unless there's a strike coming up, then I'd still think that Colorado, Detroit, and Dallas will still be among the top teams in the West for a few years to come yet. Anaheim will probably make it to the play-offs regularly now, and Minnesota isn't like Carolina where it's a huge suprise. They actually have a very good team, coach, young players, system... They'll probably be one of the top teams for the next years.

And about Bertuzzi, I don't care about that specific call, but I think people are way too hard on him. He takes so much that isn't called (every notice how many times he gets high-sticked and it's not called? More than twice as much as any other player), so don't forget about that either.

its not how bertuzzi plays. he's one of thoes players thats hated around the league, but one you would love to have on your team. there are many players like that.

And i had no prob with him. untill he starts showing his arrogence and cockness and runs his mouth all the time. Its his attitude i dont like. not his play on the ice.

How do you know what Bert's like in the dressing room?

And it's only a show. Pissing off the opposite team's fans is just part of the game.

It's funny how you didn't have your little Bertuzzi rant until the canucks were out of the running.


If Bert was in Detroit you'd think he was a god. He gets the most bull**** around the league. No one can keep up with him so he's slashed and hacked and interfered with.

Speaking of asshole players...Chelios

What a baby whiner.

you need to read more carefully befire you take things so personnally. as i said. he's hated around the league. and for good reason. but he's one of thoes players even tho you hate you'd want to have him on your team

And of course i dont have my rant untill thier out. duh. I dont take a series for grantant and go off about something untill its OVER. i dont claim a series is over and forget about it and talk about confrence finals before the current series is done *cough cough*

im a hockey fan. aka supersticious.

And i dont care what he's like in dressing room.

point in case, as i stated above, he goes on TV and tells Minny fans not to buy tickets to game 6 cuz it wont happen.

That goes far beyond making fans dislike you. thats showing a very cocky arrogent attitude.

perhaps if he just said 'were going to win' i could accept it a tad more. (altho still cocky, not as arrogent) what he did was shove it in a teams face while they're down. and it came back and bit him in the ass too.


And if he was on my team i'd be happy. honestly tho man. God? with the players detroit has? hardly. tho yes, he's one of thoes players that you hate but would love to have on your team.

wont even touch on the chelios issue because your basically just trying to do something to get at me cuz i dont like a vancouver player *shrug* i never liked cheli when he was on chicago. he's one of thoes players too.
