Comments:

• Here we are, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals . Should be good one!
• One period in, and the refs are deciding this one already. I know the Wings fans are going to brag about how great they're playing, but it's REAL easy to do when the refs are giving calls for anything and everything.
• Dallas has played great 5-on-5, but they're not being given the chance to actually do that, so it's easily negated...
• That third goal was, without question, Goaltender interference. It's a damn shame that's not a review-able reason, because it most certainly was. Blown call by the refs (again).
• Good to see Dallas get one back, let's see if it's motivation for the 3rd.
• Dallas played a MUCH better 3rd period, and I still maintain that they played better 5-on-5 than Detroit. It truly showed in the 3rd, so it should be interesting to see how Dallas come out in Game 2.

GO STARS!
