Especially in the second period.</I>Really? I thought the second was even, as PIT seemed to carry it earlier with a couple PP's, and then later DET started to assert their will over the Pens. As I said above in my own giant post (sorry for taking over!), I think offensively, it was close, as DET didn't get a ton of quality chances, but defensively and in goal, it was a different story. <br /><br />Overall, I was happy with the way the game was called. I actually didn't think there was much of a argument for a penalty on the Malkin breakaway, and I don't think Z closed his hand on the puck. He thought about it, he might've started to, but then he tried to just push it off and sort of fall on Ozzie. If there were another Penguin there, I might see more of an argument on that, but since the next 20 guys there all wore red, and Ozzie was taking care of it himself, I don't think it was a bad non-call. I do think that PIT needs to be a little careful about the borderline-interference calls. <br /><br />MAF wasn't awful, but he was a very solid not-good. In the playoffs, thats nearly the same thing.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-14071367457156991602009-05-30T22:21:06.267-05:002009-05-30T22:21:06.267-05:00You forgot the fact that MAF pooped the puck in hi...You forgot the fact that MAF pooped the puck in his goal twice in one game, which is total one more time than he did last series.<br /><br />He really needs to stop.
