Whatever you say hahaha. Lethbridge has deserved the win the last two nights, and should have had the win in the first game. Calgary was extremly chippy back in Lethbridge. Obviously you didn't see those games.

Actually, I was at game two.
Lethbridge deserved tonights game about as much as Calgary deserved game one. Take that how you like.
Your post pretty much sums up what is transpiring in this series. An over confident bunch using every excuse in the book for why they are trailing in a series they should have swept in 4. If you missed game 1 and 2, the Hitmen were totally outworked. Blame the refs, blame the other team, blame the coach, blame everyone except the players. This series is 2-1 because Calgary's best players are not playing at their best, end of story. When they do, it's series over. Better question is did they overlook the Hurricanes? If so, it's definitely a coaching problem. Take your mohawks and camo outfits for example and realize that this team may have gone into this series with a bad attitude.Quote:

The sad thing here is that i'm a Calgary Fan. Calgary has lost their cool and taken dumb penalties, and that seems to have been a huge factor.
No excuses. Kisio is getting outcoached, and that is why the series is as it is. You pretty much agreed with everything I said: If the Hitmen are on their game, they will clobber Lethbridge.Quote:

Pogge's weak goal was what won it for Lethbridge. That gave them complete control for a brief time, and by the time the Hitmen regrouped, it was 4-3. A couple of great shots made it 6-3.
Poor decisions certantly are doing the Hitmen in. They were much smarter penalty wise this game, though I am at a loss to explain why White was penalized for hitting Olafson with a clean shoulder to shoulder check as the latter was admiring his pass.
Indeed, and that is why the cowardly Hurricanes are behaving as they are. They want Calgary to focus on revenge rather than hockey. I guess Hurricane players have no problems swallowing their pride and manhood. Personally, I would rather the Hitmen win or lose like men.Quote:

Getting under the opponents skin is all fine and dandy.Quote:

Refusing to defend yourself after you attack your opponent like that is the mark of a true coward. White could have destroyed Farmanara if he so chose. But White let up because there is no honor in pounding the crap out of a guy who fell to his knees begging out of defending himself. That Farmanara followed that up by taunting the fans on the way off the ice shows how completely devoid of class he truely is.
At least when Riege speared another Hitmen player and then ran and hid behind the linesman, he had sense enough to just skate off the ice afterward.
There was no need for those spears, and quite frankly, I am embarrassed for the fans of Lethbridge for cheering for those players. It's yellow hockey, and something that should never be encouraged, supported or condoned.
The biggest reason why the Hitmen are trailing in the series is goaltending imo. How often in the regular season did Pogge steal us a game? The rest of the team needs to pick their games up but Pogge just might have to steal a couple games for the Hitmen. There is no chance that Spence gets in. I still say Hitmen in 6!
