A Dream Series Still Possible

From Terry Frei at ESPN,
In prime time, this could have been an effective infomercial for the NHL and the sport in the United States on NBC, from Game 3 and beyond.
It still can be—if the Penguins stop looking for conspiracy theories, cease being so paranoid about the officiating and can overcome what in some cases seems to be a curious lack of focus, as in Malkin’s case (in the series with the Cup on the line). Maybe, even if it ends Monday night, if the Penguins stop looking like a team that can’t yet handle the ultimate pressures, this still can go down as a great series. If they extend it, it truly can be…
A dream series.

This is the “NEW NHL”.
Live with it.

While I will be the first to admit that Michel Therrien’s sounded like a baby in his press conferences this series (the Wings do set illegal picks, but Therrien would do better to tell his players to skate into, over or through the obstructors, than to simply whine about the officials in his press conferences), “conspiracy theory” doesn’t accurately describe what Therrien’s been doing. He hasn’t, to my knowledge, said that the Red Wings receive special treatment or that the NHL has preordained the series (as the Rangers and Philadelphia coaches and media sometimes did). Better to say Therrien’s been a baby and leave it at that.
