Most important things first: Kari Lehtonen should have scored a goal. That penalty on Esa Lindell for boxing out Nash was bogus, and if you think it wasn’t, I don’t care. That call denied us a Kari Lehtonen goal after he came in to relieve Niemi with the Stars leading 7-6. Read that last sentence and laugh, then realize that it’s only like the fourth-craziest thing about this game.
None of us knows how to feel after that roller coaster ride, so I am not going to try to develop a coherent narrative for this hockey match of puck whacking.
