That game had too many non-calls on both sides. I'm so pissed. I was watching the first period and my girl said we needed to go out shopping for a bit (that'll be a different thread ). I set Tivo to record the game, no prob. We get home an hour or so later and I get all the way up to Frazen scoring making it 3 - 2 Wings. Suddenly, 4 minutes to go, Wings are sailing to victory and my Tivo cuts to the Ducks/Flames game. WTF? I start freaking out. Basically Tivo records the station's set time for games so it missed the last 10ish minutes in which the Oilers score two goals. I'm pretty devastated, only cause I can imagine what Yzerman is going through right now. Most likely his last game. So bummed.

Wonder why they never pulled Legace in the series, he wasn't as hot as he was during the regular season. Side note: Hat nod to Rolison... I could see them riding him through the next series possibly. I've seen the Oilers do this before, they give 110% in the first round and burn out quickly. The Wings could've played stronger this entire series but I think they were pacing themselves for the long stretch. Oh well. I think this is solidifying chances for Colorado and San Jose for the Conference Finals unless Anaheim wins, then I think SJ and COL would play against each other in the next round which would be an awesome series.

Cuz Osgood was or is injured. And the back up was Howard. A rookie who didnt play much in the regular season, And when he did play it wasnt impressive.
