Nev 1,085 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 From the match report on ESPN The biggest health concern for the Red Wings is Mikael Samuelsson's face, which was smacked by Forsberg's stick in the second period.The costly penalty came in the second period after Brunette deflected John-Michael Liles' shot from the high slot past goaltender Chris Osgood on Colorado's first power play to cut Detroit's lead to 3-2. Forsberg was assessed a 4-minute penalty for high-sticking Samuelsson, who lost a tooth, and Datsyuk assisted Henrik Zetterberg for the score on the power play to make it 4-2. "I didn't realize I hit him," Forsberg said. "But I guess he was bleeding so I guess I did hit him, so I have nothing to say. If he's bleeding, it's four minutes. I didn't think I hit him that hard." Forsberg added that he felt Samuelsson sold the call. "Definitely. He's laying there on the ice and I barely touched him," Forsberg said. I haven't seen the play, although someone in the GDT did say Sammy embellished it. Ah well Peter, hope your ankle/groin doesn't inhibit your golfing next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
