To be fair, Nathan Horton wasn't suspended for an action that had been suspendable before(squirting a water bottle and then throwing it into the stands). And who happened to score the game-winner in Game 7 vs Tampa Bay?
Unless Burrows bit his finger clean off, there wasn't going to be any suspension.
Another close game that could have gone either way(I was following it on someone's cellphone while at my sister's wedding reception). I think Tim Thomas made a serious error in judgement committing himself so much with Chara there to cut it off. I also think that he'll be able to shake that off and be a wall again in game #3. Plus, they'll be at home and the home crowd should get them into a frenzy.
It's been a great series so far! The refs were less prominent in game 2, and I am thankful for that.
And how great was it to see Manny Malhotra playing in game #2? For a while there, it didn't look like he may ever get a chance to play again, and now he is playing in the Stanley Cup finals! He may have only logged about 7 minutes of ice time, but he was definitely a boost for Vancouver.
I cannot wait for game #3. It should be another action-packed close game.
