Congratulations!!

The Stars are letting chances get away from them...

For me the embellishment wasn’t that he fell down...
it was just how easy he went down,I think that’s where it came in.

Like I said in the Dallas thread - Benn mugged Johnson. His free hand was all over him trying to get to second base. It was definitely an infraction. Now, should it have been called in overtime of a SCF game? IMO, no, it shouldn't have been called.

I think back to the 2011 ECF game 7 - infractions all over the place, MSL bloodied, and not a single penalty was called. Now, the refs are calling every ticky-tack infraction. Zero consistency.

Any doubt goes to the guy with a stick wedged between his legs, TBH.

Dallas already got a powerplay too so can’t really complain imo.

I tend to agree here. Plus, Perry is a known dirty-stickwork type of guy. It's in his playbook.

Your blog prompted me to look up some of the playoff scoring leaders.

Gretzky with 47 points in 18 games.

Some impressive postseasons by him and Lemieux.

What an awful clear attempt by Johnson leading to that goal. If these playoffs have shown us anything it’s that Johnson is easily one of our most expendable players. Might be hard to move that contract though.

Well they weren’t playoff games so they shouldn’t be considered playoff points.

A winnable game thrown in the trash. Watch game tape, plot revenge, and unleash hell on the Stars in Game Six. I expect the Lightning to throw everything and the kitchen sink at them in the next game. Nobody in Tampa wants a Game Seven.
