Playoff Surprises??

[Zorro]

My top THREE Playoff surprises this year would be(SO FAR):

1)Minnesota scoring only one PP goal in 3 games.I guess Nieds and Pronger will do that to you.
2)The number of 4 goal scorers already(3).Lecav, Dumont, and Parise.
3)The Iles playing with Buffalo and looking like they belong.Game 3 could have went either way.

anybody else got three they would like to share???

I know it\'s far from over, but I\'ll say Detroit / Calgary !

The shots are 97 / 35 in favor of Detroit ! WOW !

not gonna put \'surprises\', but more so doubts proven wrong.

1) turco playing up to his potential
2) radulov killing it
3) detroit absolutely owning calgary

Holmqvist having better stats then Brodeur !!!:blink:

Datsyuk getting a goal--wtf??? 2 goals???

Also, the strong play of Dumont; maybe I\'ve been underrating him...

Ottawa making the Pens look helpless...actually, I was kind of expecting it, but it\'s frustrating to watch. Most of my pools are for the Pens, but I do have one pool where I went heavy on Sens.

A big surprise for me is how the Preds are hitting the Sharks. If the refs decide to start evening up the calls, the series would be much better. Penalties so far are 33 for the Preds, 26 for the Sharks. That doesn\'t sound like a lot but that is two more power plays per game that the Sharks are getting. Also, the total minutes are 129 against the Preds and 77 against the Sharks. That is 52 monre minutes that NSH has spent in the box. That is almost a full game.

Some of you will say that is because of the Hartnell/Radulov hits but if you take out each of their 5 and 10 minute penalties, that is still a 22 minute advantage SJ has over NSH.

Come on Refs, even things out so we can enjoy this series a little more. I think it will be the best series of the entire playoffs. Especially if NSH comes back to win.
