NHL Thread: Can Lidstrom Unretire? Please?

Except that's not the case. The circumstances differed. Hartnell led with stick and pushed the puck in. Neal led with body and pushed the goalie in.
Anyways, I'm glad to see the Kings proceed. This is the year for upsets. Its been quite entertaining so far.
Na, the Canucks knew they were winning off goaltending alone a lot of nights. PP was failing and things just didn't look right.
Kesler was hurt all year, Raymond is a scrub (to be fair his back was broken), Booth doesn't fit on any lines here, Kassian not ready to play big minutes yet (that trade will be up in the air for years), etc. Then losing Sedin for the first three games really destroyed us. I personally never thought we would do much this year, but didn't think we would go out in the first round. Hopefully Gillis can fill a couple holes with players that fit a bit better than Pahlsson, Booth, Raymond or Ballard. Ballard and Booth aren't bad players, they just don't fit the way Vigneault wants to play.
Geeze, I think you might be right on the money. Or within one. I'll say over 12. Just because playoff shutouts are a lot harder to come by, especially in the conference semi-finals.
And it's still possible that 2 of them will.
I'm really not a fan of all this random stat mumbo-jumbo. People toss around numbers like they mean way more than they really do.
Also, that goal for the Kings was just brutal. What a terrible call.
Well, I mean... Detroit by themselves has made the playoffs every year the Sharks have existed, and made the semis like 12 of those years.
I'm not sure what hockey game you were watching, but it doesn't seem to have taken place on the planet Earth. Where do you get your alien television from?
Hamhuis is hit by the LA player, starts to lose his footing, grabs the LA stick and holds it to his body (you can see him grab it in every replay) and he falls down. It wasn't a hook.
Yeah, up the boards for sure in OT. No heroes.

Look, I am a Flyers guy all the way, but if you really think it was that cut and dried your as bad as they guys you rail against.
At 27 seconds you get the best angle that shows Hartnell hits puck into net first, before making contact with Fleury.
I've been looking for a clip of the Neal no goal, but I've not had any luck. What I recall was that Bryz, unlike Fleury, was on the puck. Neal didn't poke it through, he pushed Bryz into the net.
But it really is that cut and dry. Hartnell didn't make contact with MAF until after the puck was in the net, while the only reason Cooke's puck ended up in the net was because he pushed Bryzgalov into the net first. I'm shocked that they got both calls right, but they were the right calls.
I'm having trouble finding video of the interference, but here's Hartnell's goal. The best look is at 1:15. It's clear as day. The puck is in the net before Hartnell ever makes contact.

I don't follow any other sport - what happened?
looks like a clean hockey play to me.
Metta World Peace (Lakers) elbowed James Harden (OKC Thunder) in the head in a weird celebration/attack in an NBA game yesterday. Harden has a concussion and his status is uncertain at this time.
It's got all the makings of a typical Tuesday night in the NHL!!

Yea, wtf. That is such a clean goal. If you are a Flyers fan and saying that isn't, you need to learn hockey a bit. Sorry.
And yes, Neal pushed the goalie (from my memory).
Well that's sure to be atleast a $2500 fine. And my favorite part of that clip is that I just learned that Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace. :lol:

NHL.com has Cooke listed as the recipient of the interference penalty. But regardless of who it was (damn I wish a video of this was easier to find), I remember the replay pretty clearly showing that Bryzgalov had the puck stopped and then he and the puck were pushed into the net.
It's fairly remarkable that the refs actually got both plays right. Both of them are the kind of thing that isn't a surprise when they're called wrong in real-time. I'm also surprised that they correctly didn't give Giroux a penalty shot when (I believe it was) he and Letang got tangled on a Giroux (shorthanded?) breakaway. When they went down I was screaming for a penalty shot (mostly because it would have been awesome), but as soon as they showed the replay it was fairly obviously not penalty at all.

The NBA actually dishes out punishments that make sense. He'll be gone at least the first round of the playoffs.

Oh, I was upset at that Giroux play, but I 100% knew it wasn't a PS when it happened. Letang didn't do shit to him and Giroux tried drawing it.
For the record I never said that I thought they were both Goals or both not goals, I just said that the plays were very similar and that if you allowed one it didnt look good to overturn the other... And thanks for the condisention. It must be nice to live in a world where everything is so black and white, and nobody knows anything but you.
I know hockey quite well thanks, and my status as fan has nothing to do with making an honest call.
That being said, the Pens certainly got outplayed enough that one goal in either direction wouldn't have saved them.
I'm not saying they didn't make the right call, I just think that's what ruffled people's feathers a bit.
