Did anyone else think that it was a bit odd that immediately after Kipper was replaced that McClellen went straight after the first Wing to come near him. And as soon as he was booted he was praised and patted for the job he did. Seems kind of odd for a goalie who never has had an incident like that before. Seems to me that he was sent out their to do just what he did.

What I found odd was that Kipper didn't even take his helmet off when he was pulled.

Good observation, I didn't notice that.

What I find odd, is that teams have done this BS to the Wings for years after being blown-out, and people still act surprised that it happens. You notice no one on the Wings seemed surprised.

I loved Ray's quote. "The only message they sent is that they're a bunch of morons!"

Oh and so much for my man love for Iginla. It's hard for me to like him anymore after allowing the goonery yesterday and what he said. Classless on both accounts IMO.

With minutes left in a blowout, I've never seen a goalie stay on the bench. I've always seen the starter walk straight to the showers. Anyone else?

The commentary for the Devils/Lighting pregame about the incidents during the game was priceless. I wonder even more during Conroy's comments about the premeditated actions. Hulls sarcasm was priceless and Clement, Hull and Ferraro (IMO usually cautiously biased against the Wings) comments

Hull: "I think he was just fired up; I don't think he meant to slash him"

Ferraro: "Well he slashed him 3 times *Hull chuckling in the background* I think somewhere along the lines Jamie McClennon lost a screw there"

Hull: "I think they've all lost their minds"

Ferraro: "You talk about momentum for game 6, how bout doing it in the first 57 minutes of the game when it counts? The Flames did one thing in the 3rd period yesterday, and thats embarrase themselves as an organization. It starts with their coach and goes right through their leader Jarrome Iginla. Both of thier leaderships took a hit yesterday".

Hull: "fine that organization for emarrassing the NHL".

Clemment. "I've always looked for humility in defeat. If you at least can't deliver in the humility department, how about showing some class. The Calgary Flames failed on both departments yesterday at the Joe Louis Arena".

What I found odd was every body congratulating Jamie on bench as he went down the tunnel.

and people call Hasek a bad actor... PlayUNfair should have shown a tad bit more shock after what he opened up out there.

Calgary fans can kiss my ass. What f***in pieces of s***.

Their glad he did it? It was staged? Motivating the team? What kind of garbage is that team running? I'd like to see someone club Iginlas chest and see how they feel. f*** them.

Unlike Hasek or Lidstrom..Iginla can and will kick your ass...thanks for trying and come again.

Wow, I wasn't sure he could do much of anything at this point...thanks for clarifying.

Iginla can kick some people's asses, perhaps, but there are people who can kick his ass.

wow, trolling in this thread too?

Calgary will never win a Cup with Iginla as the captain. A very talented player who has no idea how to rally his team when they really need it.

As I said, here's to the Wings closing the series out tonight so we can stop wasting our breath talking about the Flames.

Amen to that.
