[quote name='Nifty_Shark']I was out of town for detroits last two games. We're they bad or was Rinne the main problem? Also I'm starting to think my picks will be possibly half wrong at least. Chicago lay off and Timmy Thomas show why you were a Stanley cup champ. Lastly, I am totally fine with Raffi getting a playoff ban. Should hopefully curb the cheap shots in round 2.[/QUOTE]
The only game Detroit was truly BAD in was game 5 (well, aside from Klein's goal in Game 4 that was immortalized in GIF form earlier in the thread...that was terrible). The ironic thing is that outside of Game 5, the team with the most shots lost every game. The only game Detroit managed to win, Rinne gave up 3 goals on 17 shots. But then he followed that up with back to back 40+ save performances, while Howard gave up 3 goals on 17 shots in Game 4. As close as the games were, it was an odd series. Nashville definitely looked like the hungrier team though, and Detroit just couldn't match their speed.
