It's not like the ref could see it with "The Colossus" Jason Spezza in the way.

You'd think he was about 20 feet tall the way they made him out to be this hulking mass the referee couldn't see beyond.

The Detroit/Anaheim series is looking very close and competitive. That goal to end game two by Scott Niedermayer was just a beautiful wrister and I can't wait for game three.

To everybody bitching about Alfredsson's hit from behind. Come on, we know he can't be penalized for them. It's in the rule book he's allowed to do it.

Alfredsson should hit somebody from behind every game. Ottawa always wins when he does it.

[Gene Kiniski]

Anyone watching? If not, we're winning.

I think if Ottawa wins the series then muthafawkinmatt is buying me a XBO360.

I knew after they beat the Devils the Sens were going to the Finals but it's still gay.

[Gabriel]

It's not much of a series when you're only really playing against the opposing goalie.

It's too bad for a lot of these guys... Kiprusoff...Luongo..now Miller... standing on their heads for their teams, and having nothing to show for it.

This is from ESPN: "The Senators are 42-9-8 since Dec. 23 and 11-2 this postseason."

I didn't know that, I knew they had a slow start but DAMN. They are on fire, and with the way they're playing I'm questioning whether anyone can beat them.

So Pronger gets suspended for a hit from behind. Nice double standard NHL.

[Toe]

I didn't see the Ducks losing Game Three the way they did. I really hope that the Ducks can come back and win Game Four and keep the series going.

[Clawson]

Hey I'm not saying Pronger shouldn't be suspended, I'm just saying if you're going to suspend one, suspend both because Holmstrom and Tallinder both missed about the same amount of icetime.

[SeanDMan]

You're just being a homer and everyone has already tuned you out.

[Gene Kiniski]

I wasn't really expecting Ottawa to sweep last night, so it wasn't much of a shocker to me. I woke up this morning and for some reason I told myself "we lost" and sure enough we did. I do think we'll win the next game. I really don't see Buffalo coming back like that.

[SeanDMan]

If it was Chris Pronger and Darcy Tucker you'd be all for hits from behind.

[Gabriel]

What's the deal with Alfredsson and his seeming immunity towards penalties? There were 3 or 4 times last night where he should have been sent to the box and wasn't...and one of those times was a slash, that the referee saw and didn't call, which led to a retaliation cross check from Brian Campbell and a penalty to him.

Hits from behind shouldn't be happening. Suspend Pronger, fine... but they need to go back and say "WHY aren't we doing anything about the Alfredsson hit?"

They need to have robot referees so they all call the same things. Or cyborgs...cyborgs would be cooler.

[Gabriel]

Ottawa gets away with another fucking hit from behind, which leads to a Senators powerplay and a goal.

I call shenanigans. I hope someone takes out Alfredsson and Schaefer... they should have both been penalized, Alfredsson should have been suspended a game, and nothing happened. They should be marked men.

EDIT: The referees decided that game unfortunately. The first two Ottawa goals should not have happened because of penalties that should have been called.

Ottawa played a great series, no doubt. It's just disappointing that it was won that way.

Go Ducks...
