Be nice to see Stamkos stamp his thumbprint at some point
Was it just me or did CHI get away with a ton of pick plays, interference, and clutch and grab stuff last night? Saad's GWG came on a pick by Brad Richards after the faceoff.
I thought I was watching DET out there
I also thought I was watching Detroit but that was when Filpulla chicken winged a PP against Timonen...
This series is following the latest trend.
And it's not what you are lead to believe.
Stanley Cup champion offense and defensive ranking
09-10 Chicago
3rd off - 5th def
10-11 Boston
8th off - 3rd def
11-12 Los Angeles
29th off - 2nd def
12-13 Chicago
2nd off- 1st def
13-14 Los Angeles
24th off - 1st def
14-15 TBD
Chicago
16th off - 1st def
Tampa Bay
1st off - 12th def
If the series follows the latest trend, Chicago will win the Stanley Cup.
Defensive supperiority rules.

Of course there was stuff on both sides, but CHI got away with far more IMO.
In the last 10 minutes, I literally saw about 5 or 6 things that should have been called. Boyle (who I don't like) and Killorn were each blatantly tripped, Hossa hauled down one of the TB D-men on the forecheck (Garrison I think), an there were several other similar infractions that were let go.
