What wasn’t great to see was the disturbing playoff trend where the NHL’s fourth-least penalized team, Detroit (9.2 minutes a game), suddenly turns into a rule-infraction machine. The Wings were whistled for seven penalties totaling 17 minutes. Phoenix was sent to the box four times and accumulated 11 total penalty minutes.
“I don’t get it, I just don’t understand,” was all Wings GM Ken Holland could say after the game about his club’s penalty issues. |
