Late night notes

       Just got done watching 3 games tonight. Vancouver looked great in the first period, Capitals played an aggressive style game. Nashville looked impressive, made Dan Ellis look very bad. In Tampa-Pittsburgh, minutes into game Orpik hammered Stamkos, not surprising to see Stamkos quite the rest of the night.
       Officiating left a lot to desire tonight. Matt Belesky (Ducks) gets called for boarding 5 minutes into the first period, minutes into the second period a Duck gets driven directly from behind, with no call. The refs in that game did not control game very well in last 10 minutes, they got very lucky it did not get really nasty.
       Brent Seabrook gets an interference call after hitting Daniel Sedin 2 seconds after moving the puck, yet the Canucks did the same thing 10-12 times, yet no calls? Minutes into the game Henrik Sedin drives himself into Corey Crawford with no call. Then 2 minutes left Troy Brouwer throws Kevin Bieksa into Roberto Luongo, and Brouwer gets called.
       In the Detroit game, its 2-1 Red Wings, Coyotes hemmed in their own zone killing a penalty, Lauri Korpkoski (PHO) gets tackled, seconds later Wings make it 3-1.
       My beef is this, every game there is a different standard. That makes it unpreditcable, you're not going to be sure if it will be specialty team affair, or everything goes.
       Lineup changes for game 2
       Hawks likely will be missing Ryan Johnson and Tomas Kopecky for game 2. Both Ben Smith & Victor Stallberg were average at best for Chicago. How many lineup changes can they make? Fernado Pisani will  play game 2, David Bolland remains a question mark. Other options would be Markus Kruger worst case sceniaros would be John Scott or Jeff Taffe. If the the officitating standards remain the same, the Hawks might consider calling up Kyle Beach, a rookie forward who plays with a nasty edge, something they dearly miss and need.
       For the Ducks, George Parros likely will sit out game 2, he might have played 5 or 6 shifts. Matt Belesky will get 1 last chance he took 2 minor penalties in the first 8 minutes of game 1. Kyle Chipura, Dan Sexton or Josh Green could be inserted into the lineup.
      The Corby Hockey Central mortal lock is..... Ray Emery will start game 2 on Friday. Ellis was very average and the ball is now in Emery's court.
