**** off reaves... Glad he gets tossed.

2 mins was more than worth it..... Ref gets excessive.

Yeah, I agree. Milbury and Jones do too.

Those are difficult to judge.

Ehrhoff saw him coming, and could have gone for the puck, but he didn't have possession of it because of it.
To me that's interference, and I can see where the refs are coming from.
But 2 would've sufficed.

Definitely a 2. He shouldn't have been ejected though. I'd pay good money to see Reaves going off the ice pissed off like that again, though.

Nashville down 2-0 after Godreau with 2 goals in 10 seconds.


It's really to bad we couldn't have found a way to beat them on Saturday. We'd still have a chance at catching them if we had.

LA struck by the dreaded 3 goal lead curse. Last 10 mins of the 3rd was all Washington. Fun pace, good game.

Caps are good #analysis

But I read an article that said they were lucky. #advancedstats

Yea I watched part of a game a few weeks ago before I realized how much they were dominating, and I was blown away by what picture perfect hockey they played in pretty much every area of the game. It was really impressive.

Too many Russians, not enough heart

 

[Foppa2118]

Come on Oilers. Please just play a good game for once in the last ten years would you!

 

[Metallo]

It's official, we are the worst team in the league...

Why does the media love taking shots at the Avs? It's really strange.

An entire article saying Avs won't make the playoffs? What the hell is the point of that? Did TSN's editor go on vacation this week?

Because we're actually the worst team in the league, yet some people think we can get into a playoff spot.

 

[Avs_19]

LeBrun says a GM is considering proposing a delay of game penalty for failed coach's challenges at the GM meetings. Apparently people feel teams are abusing it. So not only would there be a good chance the refs look at the replay on that little tablet and screw it up anyways but then on top of that you would also get a two minute penalty.

The challenge seemed like a good idea at one point but it's a mess the way it has played out. Seems like the NHL always has to make these things much more complicated than they should be. No one knowing the rules doesn't help matters either.

I really hope that doesn't get approved. Really would make it impossible for the coaches to properly use the challenge.

What they need to do is just go to Toronto with every review. Take the Refs out of it and let the league decide.

Been a disaster after it was introduced.

And if they decide to keep it, just use it for goalie interference and have a panel with specific guidelines that should make similar decisions game after game.
This offside malarkey has been nothing but a huge detriment for the game.

That's a very minor issue IMO. Get the penalty and offsides issues right before worrying about that. The Avs have been screwed easily over ten times on those, based on poor handling, or poor calls, or inconsistent calls, or subjective interpretations of plays, or obstructed views, or poor rule definitions. I can't think of a single time I was upset about how a coach used his challenge.

 

[agentblack]

My issue with the challenge is that its giving more control over the game to the coaches...who already have way too much control over it as it is. The game is slowing down considerably in the spirit of "Getting the right call" like why everyone is afraid of making mistakes? Um hello why do you think billions of people throughout history watch you jerks? To see you colossally screw the pooch on a nightly basis. Who cares if you dont get it right everytime. Play the game already! ...jesus.
Its gonna get to the point where passing is put under review.

 

[The Kingslayer]

The oilers looking compotent. We might be in trouble especially if Varly plays them.

 

[Shaggy88]

EDM PP strikes first. They look solid so far. Good. Gooood.

 

[Foppa2118]

There we go! Oilers up 1-0 on the Wild.

They've looked like their typical sloppy self though, it's still probably a miracle if they pull this one out.

They look pretty good in the o zone
