Wings fans acting like babies

[Guest GordieSid&Ted]

I think the league for the most part called things as they saw it. They missed the sucker punch to Lebda and that should have been at least a penalty and game (by their own rules).

However, the non-calls are not what bug me, what bugs me is Calgary's complete lack of integrity.

When Hasek dove earlier in the season our coach called him out for it and told him not to do it anymore.

The Flames try to justify everything they've done.

Playfair on McLennan:

"That's the competitive spirit of the players," Playfair said. "You look around the playoffs (and) that's not an infrequent deal at the end of games like that. The most important thing, though, is you have to realize that's not winning hockey games. Bringing that energy to the game in the right manner gives you a better chance."

Bulls***. Taking a baseball swing at a player had not happend in the playoffs at all except for McLennan.

Langkow on Lebda:

"I'm not sure what he was thinking going down like that, but it's the way this series has been. Some stuff has gone on you don't want to see, but that's the way it is and you just have to put that out of your mind," Langkow said Sunday morning.

"A guy (Lebda) does that, he has to expect something to happen. If you just let that slide, he's not going to think twice about doing it again."

It was a hip check and Lebda hit the boards pretty hard afterward. Langkow lost his temper and sucker-punched Lebda. The hip check was legal, so WTF is Langkow talking about?

Screw you Calgary, at least have the balls to call our your goalie and say he acted like a punk. Oh well, the series is over anyway, and all of our players will be playing in the next one, that's the important thing.

Well, Langkow should've been called for roughing for sure. As for him getting ejected and suspended. HA, that's too rich for me. Two guys laying on the ice get up on their knees face to face and Langkow gives him a shot to the jaw. My 5 year old hits harder than that. That's about one of the tamest punches i've ever seen in my life. The fact that Lebs got concussed on it makes me wonder how much glass is in that jaw of his. Langkow isn't exactly a fighter and that wasn't exactly the punch heard round the world. Most players would've gotten up from a shot like that delivered by a player on his freaking knees for crying out loud.

As for Lebs, wasn't his "legal" hit penalized for clipping? I saw the replay and Lebs is a short guy, he got down really low and made contact with Langkow's left knee and thigh area first. IMO, he got the knee first as I saw Langkow's left knee buckle from the hit. Rob Blake perfected that hit and there's a reason why he doesn't get called for clipping. You gotta catch the guy in the midsection or upper thigh area. You can't get him at the knees a la Bryan Marchment.

I had no problem with them calling a penalty on Lebda but it should've been 2 a piece, clipping on Lebda, roughing on Langkow.
