[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2713980, member: 12852"] I'm still pissed that it even happened. If someone who didn't watch it looks at the stats they'll think SJ dominated and deserved to win the game, but that's far from true. Every stat was wildly skewed by the 20+ minute disparity in penalty minutes. That single call changed the game and the series. For starters, the 5 minute major was uncalled for. Without it nothing close to that amount of momentum gets generated. Secondly, the game misconduct was even more absurd. Eakin committed at worst a simple cross-check to Pavelski's chest, but it was more a two fisted punch immediately after the draw to gain position. It happens on every faceoff in the NHL. The severity of the injury was caused by the second player who checked Pavelski immediately after Eakin chucked him. If anybody was going to get a game misconduct it should be that guy (I never got the license plate on that truck), but he didn't commit a penalty either so the game misconduct was 100% unwarranted altogether. Given Eakin's 2-way ability and primacy on the dots I think the rest of the 3rd period and OT goes much differently if he's on the ice. That decision by the stripes was egregious and I hope the league says something about it. I hope Vegas raises an enormous amount of hell about it. I was extremely disappointed in the PBP and intermission commentators steering clear of the controversy altogether. Cowards, the lot of them. [/QUOTE]
