The Red Wings were so bad ass last night, they destroyed a glass bowl on my table last night when they scored. This was some seriously freaky stuff. My roommate and I were watching the Wings game, and right when Kronwall scored to go up 2-1, the Ken Daniels screams "SCORES!" and the bowl just EXPLODED. Glass shards for a 4 foot radius around the plate. Neither my roommate or I was sitting anywhere near where I had my plate sitting at the time.
As you can see by the plate, I was almost done eating dinner. It had been at least 30-40 minutes after I started eating. The plate and bowl weren't that hot at the time. So strange. I'm glad I had my roommate as a witness because if I didnt, no one would ever believe me.
The '08, '09, and '10 Cup champs are all down 3-1 in their series, as well as the '11 Game 7 losing Cup finalist.
In the east, every series is split at 2 except for the goal-fest that is the Pens and Flyers and thats a 4 vs a 5.
I can't help but think to get ahead now the GM has to get lucky and have someone out-perform their contract as well as have your stars perform to get any traction on the league.
Significant injuries and players who don't perform are just tremendous weights to bear now.
This isn't a specific commentary on the Wings, more of an observation on the league currently.
