It’s the most interesting coach in hockey (Tampa's Jon Cooper) against the (arguably) smartest coach in hockey (Detroit's Mike Babcock) for Game 7 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Detroit Red Wings.
The series had mostly been played cleanly and was controversy free … until … Niklas Kronwall got suspended for Game 7 on a brutal hit on Tampa’s Nikita Kucherov in Game 6.
To add more injuries to insult, Red Wings defenseman Marek Zidlicky is out of Game 7 with a concussion. This is all really bad news for Detroit.
