Dive but you can’t do that. Don’t put the ref in a position to have to make a call

 

[CanucksSayEh]

I like how Tampa sets up 2 one timer options. Is that allowed? I thought you could only have one, and a "down low" guy, so it's not too difficult for PKers.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

was he downplaying the complaints or making the point that they need time to properly investigate an old complaint?

public opinion lately has a way of forcing public eye organizations to do legally and morally stupid stuff quickly based on prejudging and prepunishing in situations like this. if bettman can skate on this for a while before the baying twitter mob catches up, he should. because it is the right thing to do. careers do not need to be presumptively ruined.

IMO, the “10 years old” allegation comment was a cringer. Like Benning saying “the girl posted it on social media”.

Also his language around the investigation sounded too nonchalant for my liking. I’d also like it a lot better if the league were stepping in and conducting the investigation rather than letting the Blackhawks order it. It’s supposed to be “independent”, but again, I’d feel better about it if the League did it. Did they let the Coyotes handle things for investigating their draft cheating?

They have enough quality right shots to do it. OTOH, we've never really explored the idea of having Gaudette or Virtanen on PP1.

Tofu would've been a great fit on the top unit playing the bumper.

We have too many 1st liners

Damn

 

[Grumbler]

men playing with boys.

 

[Gstank]

Montreal is just overmatched.

Im really interested to see what Tampa does to get under the cap this offseason

This is like the 1998 Capitals magical run coming to an abrupt end when they faced the Red Wings.

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Til: the skate extends up past the midway point of the shin.

 

[Ozone]

Woooooooooo!

 

[EpochLink]

Canadiens on the board.

 

[IslandBeast]

Man I wish we signed Chiarot

 

[Nucker101]

Man I wish we signed Chiarot

Him or Edmundson would've been solid here

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Only if we changed coaches. They would become bad if they were on the team this year though.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

f***ing Islanders.



This would have been a more even series.

 

[The Poacher]

Caufields been bad tonight.

 

[WTG]

f***ing Islanders.



This would have been a more even series.

Probably be even if Vegas didn't choke

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

I swear this game has been sloppy AF. I am starting to wonder if that is Montreals Gameplan.

 

[Gstank]

Caufields been bad tonight.

BUST

 

[vanuck]

That could've been really dangerous for Gallagher.

 

[Gstank]

And this result was predictable. Tampa is too deep to be showdown by Montreal and is at least at the same level if not better in every postion.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Predictable. Montreal's just not in Tampa's class. Against Vegas they were able to get in their heads to a degree and frustrate them; Vegas could barely string two or three passes together in their last two games. Execution was completely off. Tampa on the other hand is just too skilled, too deep, too experienced, and just too good.

If the Habs manage to push the series to six games I'll be very surprised.

 

[EpochLink]

Montreal came out flat today, I think they’ll be better prepared for game 2.
