Apparently Phi trying to get to #4.

Offer was #12 in 2024, mid 20's in 2025 from Avs and someone off their roster.

I'd say, pass for CBS. Take either the big C Lindstrom or one of the Dmen. Peeke is gone, Boqvist won't be around much longer. 2 more years of Gudbranson.

Because the alternative to gross embellishment is putting the whistles away? Gotcha.

How about he just not dive like he's going swimming? It's embarrassing.
Sounds like someone is living rent free in your head.

Personally I have long wanted skill to flourish in the NHL and the puck was nowhere to be seen but sure focus elsewhere.

It's the playoffs and if you're going to call every suspect interference play, then the game wouldn't have any flow to it. McDavid is barely brushed there, but he flies like he's Superman.

I love a skill game. I prefer it to the game of the 90s, but the league can't lose its integrity while getting to it. That defeats the purpose entirely.

Calls on the ice are made in real time and with an on ice view, if a player gets caught flatfooted and makes that move the dive or off balance avoidance looks very similar and we all have seen far worse and ya the whistle does go away more in the playoffs which makes hockey unique as other sports call balls and strikes more consistently.

I remember when Burrows embarrassed an official and this board went crazy defending Burrows.

Calls happen in real time, yes. Burrows was no angel, also yes. But I don't believe common interference plays has the offended player embellishing like that. It does not look similar. That play stands out and gets called out for a reason.

In any case, great player, just embellish and whine less. All I ask.
