Yes. How is it that the Wings are considered a dirty team thoughout the league because of their high penalty minute total when they had 1053 penalty minutes in the year, which ranked them 23rd out of 30 teams? Which, by the way, was only 46 more minutes than the Avs? With Forsbergs typical 50-75 penalty minutes, they would be higher. I don't mean to be picky, but if you are going to use statistics to say that a team is dirtier, at least check the stats first. In the playoffs, the wings have had quite a few penalty minutes, to your defense. But a playoff run, doesn't change the perception of a team that quickly.
They are both great teams, filled with stars, and neither team is "dirty"
