And to the goalie running, its occurred on both sides (more so on the Wings side but maybe thats my bias showing) but they should've called it from the start and we wouldn't have seen the bumps and the crease action we are now later in the series.
There was no real goalie running, the Wings were almost 80-90% pushed into Kipper by the Flames D-Men. I agree with the Lebda hit it was kinda cheap just stand him up and hit him no need for the knees.
Kipper was the MVP of that first round I don't care what anybody says without him the Flames loose every single game by 4 or more goals. Great series by the Flames though I have to hand it to you guys.
Offensive MVP: Nik Lidstrom, Defensive MVP: Mikka Kippersuof (sp) and Special Teams MVP: Nik Lidstrom
