Around the NHL: Part VI – lol Tampa, Go Tampa!

[egelband]

There’s a difference between a bad hit on a hockey play, and that...

That was trying to injure someone. That was an assault

Yep. He's gone. That could have been Steve Moore territory. The league just CANNOT ALLOW THAT. Good point @Vinny DeAngelo. That was totally outside the lines. And I suspect there will be swift and harsh justice.

Lol man, that 2nd Bruins goal was so bad. Muzzin's such a goofball.

Remember when Carcillo got 10 games for touching a ref?

2 plays with clear intent to injure in a span of 24 hours. The DOPS is clearly not doing enough.

I also remember Hags getting three for checking Alfredsson. I keep saying it. But the league is so lucky they have a product that sells itself. They have done everything possible to make it fail. The officiating is top of the list.
I'd love to see if there's a start for how often the team that's trailing gets a power play against how often a team leading gets one. The on-ice officiating is so predictable and yet the review and supplementary discipline process is so random.
Were Bettman truly a fan of the sport he would see the huge red flags and so something about it.

 

[Fugazy]

Rooting for Pittsburgh today to at least give the Isles a run for their money in this series.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

It’s the playoffs, so it will always be less than what the player should get.

I'm expecting 5 really but wouldnt be surprised if it were 3

 

[Mac n Gs]

Nathan MacKinnon is just so nasty. The dude took over the entire game last night.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Well if debrusk is suspended for that knee on knee kadri will be suspended for that crosscheck lol.

I say let it cancel itself out I want to see these two go at it again.

By the way watching games like this I’ll take a Kakko over Hughes all day. Give me the beast over the pixie

Lemieux>Gretzky. Come on. It's bad enough you say you'll take Hughes over KK - but 'all day.' Please.

Kadri should have the book thrown at him. I'm sick of this kind of shit still being in the NHL. Just suspend him for this and next round and be done with it. If they keep just giving 1 or 2 games for clear intent to injure plays, things will never change.

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

If your gonna stand up for your team mate drop the gloves. Using your stick is stupid; fight like a man.

Grubauer is a solid goalie too. Damn. That trade with Washington is giving them some hope in this series.

Muzzin and zaitsev were good in game 1 and not so much last night. I think that latter against the Bruins will hold true in the end but we shall see

 

[Metranger]

CBC showing John Tonelli's tying goal against the Rangers with 27 seconds left. Nystrom then won it in overtime.
Sayonara Rangers. That one really stung I remember.

Maybe this is because I mostly watch the Rangers but the Rangers give up more goals with 30 seconds or less than any franchise I can recall.

I watched that game and it still kills me. F'n Nystrom.

[Paulie Walnutz]

The Pittsburgh fans are a joke. It sounds like a morgue to start the game.

 

[Nickmo82]

Is PPG paints arena the worst named arena in the league? Even with all the other corporate sponsors, that's a bad name.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Remember when Edmonton scapegoated Eberle and blamed him for their playoff failures and traded him? Good times.

 

[haohmaru]

Weak sauce goal for Murray to let up (the first one)

 

[nevesis]

Penguins are absolute f***ing garbage. Wow.

 

[Kovalev27]

Murray has really struggled this year he can’t make saves. Not a good recipe with how well the isles goalies have been

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Pittsburgh has become AV era NYR

Does it seem really bright in there to anyone else?

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Pens might finally be entering their decline phase.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The Pens might finally be entering their decline phase.

Just in time to let the Islanders win a playoff series

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I would be so happy if the Pens got swept. I dont care if it's the Islanders doing it.
