Yes, I would say the Donovan injury was the straw that broke the camels back for Calgary, which in hindsight was so unfortunate because he was playing so well.
Regarding what I meant with Niemenen was that it changed some of the momentum the team had in at the time that could have altered the look of the series. It was imperative for Calgary that they finish the series as soon as possible because of the extent of their injury situation. Yeah, they won the game he was suspended for, but I think it really changed the momentum of the series.
I knew that they had to win it in Game 6 if they were going to win it at all. I posted it in another thread, that was the most heartbreaking part. Game 7 was a sloshed out drunkfest for this guy; extinguish emotions with Wildcat Forte.
