I can't see how Ozzie says it was unintentional when he was protecting one of his guys.
How hard and where did he stick butt him?

I've never been slashed in the chest by a hockey stick, but it looked like he hammed it up a bit... as any goalie in the NHL would have done.

It was a very stupid move by Ribeiro however.

It was kind of a grazing blow. The butt end was facing more in the same direction Ribeiro was traveling and not square into him. It didn't look like something worthy of a two-hander retaliation.

Who says pro sportsman can't act?
"ACTING"

Totally agree. Irregardless, I say suspend him.

Then there’s the matter of keeping composure. Mike Ribeiro figures to have a great view of Game 3 thanks to his actions after the whistle in the dying seconds of Saturday’s game when he snapped. His two-handed stick swing from behind the goal caught his intended target Chris Osgood right in the chest. And even if Osgood embellished the action a bit, there’s no denying intent and the possible result of injury with Ribeiro’s actions.

Not in the Stars - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

Only problem is that ribeiro chose wrong ways to retaliate: league has sworn that "lumberjack students" will get punished, so NHL probably suspends ribeiro for one game even ozzy acted 100%.

I just hope the Wings have the apparatise in place to sue Texas should our transportation drop into a sinkhole !!!

It was wings best game in POs. Curiously enough, Dal had more scoring chances but not in decisive 3rd period. Facoff wins and forechecking guaranteed wins in neutral zone and enabled to score goals. How Zetterberg stole that puck and Dats scored was beauty - 2 beated 4+1

5 goals with only 21 shots. Keep the sieve in the nets..........
