Well it did cost them 1 game in the Finals and I cant remember the effect it had on the DET series, but I presume it was at the very least similar. I'm happy I was wrong. However for any of us to sit here and say we had 100% confidence they would pull this thing out during the DET series and after the Bruins won game 3 we would be liars. It was a great playoff run and fun to watch. EDIT: To be fair, I also was irate at the benching of Stalberg and the refusal of pairing Kane, Toews and Bickell. Also playing Bollig was ridiculous. Low and behold, Q finally goes back to it and we turn it up offensively.
