As a person who runs a blog, my views are slanted. I love my hometown teams and often root for them.
I take umbrage against those who root against my teams and will often resort to immaturity to make fun of them.
And that's because I run a blog. I don't answer to anybody.
The media, well, that's a whole other story. I have no idea who Gene Collier of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is....frankly, I'm sure he's some second rate journalist from reading just part of his article.
But he's taken the stance that the Wings are getting calls they don't necessarily deserve.
Why, when the puck comes off the boards behind Fleury, does it wind up in the net twice in 20 minutes in Game 1? Why, when Marian Hossa is battling Pascal Dupuis for the puck along the boards, when Hossa hooks him so effectively that Dupuis' stick is snapped in half, does play continue with no whistle until Detroit scores a go-ahead goal at 10:29 of the second period? Why does Justin Abdelkader, without an NHL goal to his name, suddenly become The Magical Michigander, swatting rolling pucks past Fleury night after night in this series?
Most particularly, why do the Red Wings get to play with two goalies -- Chris Osgood and Henrik Zetterberg?
No wonder Cindy Crosby is such a whiner....it must be a city thing.
