Wow, Lightning are starting to get frustrated

quovadis13

That's a quick turn of events

TehSloth

I'm not sure where it's been for the last 115 minutes or so but I'll take it

quovadis13

Bah. I wanted to go to sleep soon, not watch an OT

enlightenedbum

Ericsson sucks so much. Datysuk has had maybe the worst game of his life, though part of it is he's hurt.

Lightning just kicked the shit out of the Wings after the second goal. Passivity is death.

Le_Goat

Quick whistles piss me off, especially when it is fucking obvious that the goalie doesn't have control.

EDIT: I guess that worked out then, lol

quovadis13

That 1:17 just changed the outcome of your season Tampa

He scored all three! They call him the Eliminator!

Man, 2004 were good times. And it's been eleven years? Dayum.

On the subject of tonight, all I got right now is Go Flames Go!

Burtletoy

Man.

Imagine if the Islanders actually had a goalie.

Jayricho

What has Calgary been feeding David Jones lately?

Grrr

I fucking hate playoff refereeing. I'm so tired of games getting handed to teams that goon things up because of the cowardice of referees ands the NHL. I start to wish the canucks would just call up a thug from the farm next time they end up in the playoffs and just send him out to two hand someone in the head.

Haha, like the Canucks aren't getting away with all kinds of shit.

Corvus

Yeah, I dont see anyone on Van getting away with charging on every shift. But my complaint isnt just canucks specific. I hate that the rules change for the playoffs, it is so gutless and dumb that teams are allowed to get away with so much more. Failure to enforce the rules is always dressed up with the "we don't want to decide the game" crap, which is so hypocritical.

Like, honestly, would bertuzzi on Moore even get five minutes in the playoffs? Hell, Bure blatantly head shifted Shane churla in 94 and didn't even get a penalty.

Nova_C

Who's charging on every shift?

Ferland? Because that one hit when he came out of the penalty box probably could have been called but that's the only one I've seen.

Unless you think any big hit should be punished.

Corvus

Yeah, ferland has been charging all series.

tinwhiskers

Its not so much that the interference call on Rosivol was wrong, but it coming on the heels of NBC showing Kane getting mugged for the first two periods makes it look ticky tack as hell.

Corvus wrote: »

I see.

ChaosHat

Why do the Blackhawks feel the need to just have a collapse like every second or third game? They played so well the last couple and then bam, fuck playing good defense and passing well.

It doesn't seem to matter to the officials that not calling something is influencing the game just as much as calling something.

Corvus

This is my point, exactly.

ChaosHat

Shawzer is so great sometimes. Jones deserved to get fucking punched in the face.

The bitter parts of me think this is what happened with Glendening. Got cut super badly on his right hand in a scrum and needed a bunch of stitches and couldn't return. The line he was checking that is Tampa's major advantage then scored all three goals.

Corvus

The oinky thing worse than the NHL refereeing is Brian Burke's hair

Chanus

that is definitely some hair

Imagine if Montreal had traded Price instead of Halak like a bunch of fans wanted. Pretty sure the Blues would have played in at least a final and not gone through Miller and Halak already.

This typo/autocorrect error amuses me greatly.

Le_Goat

I thought it was intended, lol

Rhah

I am also salty about refs missing a slash that resulted in a broken stick on Drew Miller. Um, broken stick from a slash is about as automatic as puck over the glass these days. If a guy breaks a stick while not in the act of shooting is more than likely from a slash...even if you miss the actual slashing motion. Resulting non-penalty led to the events after... if they are on PK, Tyler doesn't score (hopefully).

Le_Goat

Given how easily composite sticks break, it's possible that he sneezed and it broke... just saying

Nah, it was a slash. But whatever. Wings totally broke down defensively three times in 8 minutes, that's why they lost.

Le_Goat

Peter Chiarelli named Oiler's GM and President of Hockey Operations. Next up, his attempt to purposely pull Hamilton and Jullien away from Boston as a final fuck you.

Nova_C

So, you guys think the Oilers are going to turn it around, or are they waiting until their entire team is first overall picks?

Well today was a great first step, management has needed some real change for a long time now, not just shuffling the same few guys around.

Personally I wouldn't mind if we traded one/some of the picks this year for some experienced defense.

Trading for good Dmen is hard and expensive. Especially any under contract at reasonable cap hits. Blackhawks gave up a 2nd and a 3rd for Oduya, and he wasn't really expected to play as well as he did in '13 and '14. Or look at the ask from Toronto for Phaneuf.

The more of the Preds I see as this series goes on, the more the Avs, Panthers, and Lighting look like idiots for passing on Jones.
