This is the major reason I just cannot root for the Sharks over the Blues. These guys just cannot stop being ****ing babies

 
Daley's out for the rest of the season, so they're pretty much ****ed. Sharks seem like the only team not dealing with injuries right now.
 
Nice to see the officiating remains consistent, as in bad. Tampa got hosed a few times in the 3rd especially on the 4 min minor. That should've been a 5 on 3 after he was tripped on the delayed call, plus the original highstick. Then Letang runs into a Tampa player on the pp and it's called interference .
 
Fleury being Fleury. Lighting win. Not much he could have done about the OT winner but he was very ordinary in regulation.

The Piitsburgh coach is going to regret that decision.
 
There's zero intensity in these playoffs this year. After the Blues-Hawks series this year, I don't know if I've watched an entire game start to finish.
It feels like the refs (maybe league) have taken that away this years playoffs. And Reign are running into the same problem vs the Monster.

I am actually enjoying these series, but I agree that the refs have ruined the playoffs in general. I hate seeing a powerplay every minute of the game, and especially based on bad or borderline calls. I would rather have the teams play 5-on-5. I also hate that the players cannot even shove or facewash in between whistles without getting a call. Takes the intensity of a series away from the playoffs. The league needs to seriously study this year's playoffs and make sure there is no repeat next year.
 
The move to Allen still bugs the crap out of me. Elliott got no goal support - he certainly wasn't why they lost. Same with Pittsburgh going to Fleury for no good reason. Wouldn't surprise me to see both teams bounced from the conference finals as a result. Over-coaching kills.
 
Pretty hilarious watching two Blues defenders go at Thornton below the goalline and leaving Joe Pavelski alone between the circles.

All 4 defenders were below the dot, and Pavelski was wide open just wondering which part of the back of the net he'd put it. Such an easy goal.
