Interesting insight from Kerry Fraser... Fraser: Looking Back... "The main event might have started when Sid knocked Jake's glove away, but the preliminary bout happened a minute or so earlier when Crosby chopped at another Flyer player's glove and wasn't penalized for it. The absence of a swift and firm response by the referees to Sidney Crosby's repeated slash to the glove hand of Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov prior to the fisticuffs became an officiating turning point in the game. This spark ignited the ever-present combustible fuel that exists when these two teams meet and caused player hostilities to boil over and continue throughout most of the game. The officials had to continually battle back from this early incident in an attempt to exert and maintain control." Silly Fraser, Crosby doesn't get penalties! esteef

First step in the process is to determine if offender is a star player. If so, fine player only. All else, suspend away! esteef

He only plays with effort when he gets bashed in the face with a stick. esteef

Neal, Asham and Adams should all be suspended. But I guess we'll see. Technically didn't Crosby start the s***e with Hartnell with less than five to go that Adams jumped into? But we all know he won't be suspended. Get 'em Shanny!! esteef

I'm still waiting for Crosby to "dominate" this series. esteef

Funny thing is I thought the pushing the glove thing was hilarious! esteef

Can you imagine Pronger watching this game at home jumping up and down yelling at the tv and throwing s***!! esteef

Crosby was jabbing at schenn with the ref there til schenn challenged him and the ref let go, then he wasn't so tough. THAT'S why people hate him. esteef

Watching the Pens get thumped certainly helps digest a Wings loss! esteef

Justice on Braun who pussed out of the Crombeen fight and suckered Langenbrunner while he was tied up! Polak rulezzzzzzzz! esteef

Just for the record, the Wings are undefeated when fighting in this year's playoffs! esteef

Was it the best player in the universe? esteef

Too bad it takes the playoffs and getting bashed in the face with a stick for Franzen to turn into a power forward but it was fun to watch tonight! esteef

Good on Todd but I wish it didn't have to be Todd. esteef

The definition and extent of "preference" are what the "conspiracies" are based on. esteef

Sign a big guy that wins fights. esteef

Wings need to just chill and play their game. Don't start running around trying to avenge the hit on Z cause you know the Preds will be flopping at the slightest touch knowing the wings are pissed. esteef

This thread is funny, especially the "he's gonna get kronwalled" stuff! The Wings won't do s*** about it cause we ain't got them team for that, Nill and Holland have made sure of it. esteef

I'm not so sure, check out the vid in the Helm injury thread. Look how high Radupuke's leg kicks up when he knows he's gonna be hit. The guy's got a dirty reputation and it wasn't even that big of a hit. Accident my ass! esteef

I think Radulov lifted his skate up on purpose. Nobody's leg comes up like that on that weak of a hit. esteef

Anybody got a link to a vid of the injury? esteef

Wings withstood lopsided Powerplay chances and Helm going down early to just come up short. That's what Babs will be preaching. esteef

stream died!!!!!!!!!!!!! esteef

f*** Yeah! Thanks Man!! esteef

stream link?!!!! esteef
