Datsyuk wore the 'A' instead of Zetterberg for Game 3. Must've gave him a boost of motivation. Oh I forgot to mention. Datsyuk wore the ‘A’ instead of Zetterberg for Game 3.

Two Swedes and a Finn...who woulda thought? Samuelsson has played great so far this series, on a line with Filppula and Franzen. Two Swedes and a Finn…who woulda thought?

Sorry. That was careless of me to attribute those comments to you and not to Mike.

That was my colleague Mike, who speaks for himself and would have to answer to your concerns. I disagreed with him in the comments at MHH about the Forsberg high stick. I don't think it was intentional, but it was definitely a hard hit to the mouth and Samuelsson reacted like anyone would have. And he lost a tooth, so the four minute penalty was the right one by the refs. As for Osgood, I don't have an opinion about that. Again, Mike took issue with it, not me, so I don't really have much to say. Let’s be clear here, I’m not the one who wrote the game recap that you’ve cited examples from.

I did take your comment a little too literally, though. I can understand Helm being a bit of an unknown given that he's an AHLer. I just feel he's standing out a bit in this series as he's filling into his role. Anyway, I didn't want to get into it in an update, but I do take issue of your characterization of Samuelsson. The guy lost a tooth to Forsberg's inadvertent (I'm going to assume that's what it was) baseball swing. Of course he's going to fall to the ice in pain. Also, for your insinuation about Osgood's diving, I assume you're talking about the Forsberg goaltender interference call. If you recall, the Avs had a chance at a wraparound there and Osgood was diving across to be at the other post. The ref obviously (and wrongly) interpreted it as interference on Forsberg. If that's what you're referring to, don't fault Osgood. Fault the official. Joe,

It's an old trick---"So and so who?" I've seen people take the exact same cheap shot at Jeff Finger, Ben Guite and other lesser-known players on the Avalanche. It's just a nudge to the ribs, man. Good blog, by the way. Don’t get so worked up about the Darren Helm remark.
