After lollygagging all weekend and getting caught up in Game 7 after Game 7, it’s hard to catch all the nuances that make playoff action so special. For example, this little nugget almost fell through the cracks:

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit police say a woman was accidentally hit by a chair swung by Ducks general manager Bob Murray after Anaheim’s loss to the Red Wings in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
Sgt. Alan Quinn said on Saturday that the woman was struck while in the press box Thursday night at Joe Louis Arena, and Murray apologized. Quinn says police took a report and the woman declined to seek charges.
The incident was first reported on Friday by WJBK-TV in Detroit.
The Ducks said Saturday that Murray denies throwing a chair. On Friday, he told the Los Angeles Times that it was a “complete accident.”
With the 4-3 win, the Wings advanced to play the Chicago Blackhawks in the conference finals that start Sunday in Detroit.

Now, I know a loss is bound to piss you off, but seriously Murray, your precious Ducks got into the playoffs by the skin of their long, long teeth. They gave you a great post-season ride, more action than you deserved. And what possessed you to throw a chair? In the press box?

Oh, to be a fly on the wall. The antics of Jeffrey and Christina Lurie have nothing on this guy…

“What do you want? Losing sucks.”
