Around the league part 2

[GoldenBearHockey]

For sure tampa should have but the goalie held it for long enough someone could argue the play should have been blown dead with a delay of game for not playing it to Montreal.

2 seconds isn't gonna get you a delay of game penalty....someone could argue

I'm not sure what's dumber: admitting to a mic'd up player you intentionally high-sticked him in retaliation to someone else's hit, or the league STILL only giving a fine. It's Hartman's 7th fine.

I think the fact it was only a fine. Should have been at least 2 games.

Had this been LA's top player injured most of us would want someone doing what Hartman did.

for sure, I do think delay of game is too far the other way. Was just pointing out that i think Tampa has a case here. Seen a lot quicker whistles with no one around the goalie.

It's one of those, I'd be pissed as hell if I was Tampa in the moment, but afterwards, I'd be pissed at the players.....

very fair, and agreed. I personally think the refs should have blown it, but since they didn't what they hell were the players doing!

PLD was our best forward IMO last night. More of a statement on how crap everyone else played.

In another universe, Faber, Clarke, Byfield, and Vilardi have formed a new core and are slowly developing into a major contender.

Instead, we’re stuck with PLD for 7.5 more years. Woof.

This is exactly why they should have dealt Kopitar while they had the chance.

Nobody is going to be given the opportunity to take over the team while the HoFer is still around. Its guaranteed mediocrity.

They could have gotten a haul for Kopitar but it would have been ok to have him if he was willing to take on a mentor role through some more really bad years. Doughty calling for Blake to compete instead of go through a full rebuild was the real problem.

Anaheim consistently putting up better performances than us vs. the same opponents

 

[Wildturkey12]

Giving a 5 and a game to McMann on that hit is kind of BS. Even Hayward thought it wasnt a dirty play.

Yeah, they didn't sleep walk for 60 min. The Leafs were so beatable last night. Two goals off of turnovers and that was the game. The Ducks probably don't feel so bad losing to a 4th sting goalie, who for the 22nd time beat the Kings.

 

[Omni Owl]

Dostal was insane, so many saves. Ducks are also missing quite a few key players. The officiating was somehow worse tonight in Anaheim than it was last night, so many shit calls.

not sure why defensemen think they're untouchable when dumping

looked like he had no clue contact was coming

Could be opposing teams are playing down to them and up to the kings.

Played 18:30 last night. 0 points and a minus-1. Played more than Spence, Englund, and Moverare play on average.
