rangers down 3-0 going into the 3rd, I wonder who they threaten to waive after this game

 

[Optimistic Cynic]

Anyone else watching this Sabres/Leafs game with a shit-eating grin?

You’re grinning over the Leafs beating the Sabres?

This will be the only time I'm happy for Vegas.

Rangers got major problems, good thing they locked up their goalie

The Jets broke them.
Rangers were in 1st place with 9-3-1 record before they played the Jets ... now they are out of the playoffs losing 10 of their last 13 games.

Wow ... Vegas caught cheating right in front of everyone's eyes.
The game was over but they stopped the clock for one more play to cover the spread.

The clock stops every time they need to move the chains and setup the ball. Every time

Can't say I fully understand why the Ducks insist on making Gibson the starter coming back from injury when he's so obviously an inferior goaltender to Dostal.

Showcasing him?

Maybe. I feel like if a team hasn't paid attention to Gibson as a starter for the past 5 seasons and need showcasing, they will get what they deserve.

Nope not in the NFL but they did admit the ref stopped the clock by mistake and its not reviewable so sorry to all the betters who put money down on Washington.
Weird how Taylor runs for a long TD and drops the ball before the goal line untouched so instead of being up 20-7 ... it changed the game and they lost 31-13.
Who knows maybe those rumors are true ... its scripted.
All I know is anyone who bets now a days has to be insane unless you have an inside track.
I only brought this up because of the 2 men short vs VGK for the final 2 minutes of the Jet game.

I tend to blame incompetence more than conspiracy.

So do the right thing and fire incompetence or at least suspend.

I mean, NHL officiating has always been pretty inconsistent, incompetent and situational. But every once in a while you see something and think...maybe?

Interesting that the NFL allows its refs to be interviewed and explain their calls. If the NHL did that, maybe it would cut down on game management.

Depends on what the issue is. Calling a late iffy penalty or stopping the clock by mistake aren't really things you want to set a precedent about suspending or firing refs for. Just because they're pros doesn't mean they're immune from mistakes. Players constantly make mistakes why are officials supposed to be perfect. Logan Stanley is making $2.5 million over 2 years and he certainly makes several mistakes.

If he's not reliable, thanks for noting. I'm not sure how reliable he is for info. Just putting it out there as it conflicted with people saying Chevy had zero interest.

Traded for both Stastny and Schmidt a couple years ago. All situations are different. Just saying.

Those guys weren’t really washed up nor on big contracts though.

There'd have to be a pattern of mess ups

They both were arguably washed up and on big contracts. No more so than Trouba anyway.

Stastny $6.5M and Schmidt $6M
