Okay, so what the hell? Detroit wins, and to celebrate they start fighting with the Canes? God I hate that. I saw Brind'Amour with the hit (can't remember who he hit) after the play, and then in the replay we see both Brind'Amour and the other guy just talking at each other, and two other Red Wings rush up and end up with Brind'Amour in a headlock via stick. What? I dunno, to me that just didn't seem right.
Ahhhh, I'll talk about this game more later after I cool down a bit.

Section Four: Penalties Rule 84: Roughing Roughing is a minor altercation that is not worthy of a major penalty to either participant. (An altercation is a situation involving two players, with at least one to be penalized.
Needless to say, the referees seem to throw away the damned whistles come playoff time. Stupidheads.
Yes, I used "stupidhead" as an insult... I've had exams all week, so sue me!

I expect a score of about 15-13..probably for the N-Americans. I like the East vs West better too, but I guess they can market this format to the rest of the world easier. Obviously it doesn't compare to the Olympics..
