Detroit got jobbed last night by the officiating.

I fell asleep after the 2nd period, but from what I saw I'd say the Sharks dominated Detroit. I don't know if the ice was bad but Detroit's passing was horrible, maybe 9 days rest made them rusty. Howard stood on his head and almost stole a game for us. Datsyuk had some unbelievable moves, he deked Murray out of his jock strap a few times only to miss the goal. He doesn't have Crosby's finish. I'm sick of Abdelkader's flopping around like a soccer player. It's embarassing.

I think San Jose is just a little bit better than Detroit this year. Last year's officiating was horrible, last night's was below average but I don't think it cost Detroit the game. I hope we can steal game 2 on Sunday. !!!!!!

I just don't like that Abdelkader get's pasted into the board from behind and it's no call. And the he makes the same hit on Joe "I can only score of the PP" Pavelski and tweet 2min.

I'm really getting sick of the inadvertent High Sticking calls as well.

And how about Tampa. This team is great defensively and has lots of punch offensively when they open it up. I keep betting against them but they are always there.

The Bruins-Flyers game should be a good one tonight.
