Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[I Eat Crow]

Lol f*** Kings fans. Clear as day trip. Even if you felt that one was borderline, the cross check on McDavid is deserving of two as well.

Refs in full game management mode. Lame call on the Fiala trip.

Nah, that's a trip. Drai kept moving his feet.

Horrendous call !

 

[I Eat Crow]

Tie game. Bing bong.

 

[Taluss]

Meh I don’t think you make that call in playoff games

eh, it was borderline at worst...& here we are tied.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This PP is basically unstoppable.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Borderline perhaps, yes, but the cross check on McDavid was deserving as well. That was a nasty knock he took.

This league is full of parity and the game management officiating just adds to it. Bettman is smiling.

And people are going to start tuning out. I watched hockey all day because it was pouring here. Had the sun been shining I would've been outside enjoying the weather & finishing up my landscaping project around my house instead of watching these "rigged" games. The officials have become the biggest storyline of the entire playoffs. Bigger than McDavid, bigger than the Bruins, bigger than Rangers/Devils.

 

[17futurecap]

What are you doing Nurse

 

[Boris Zubov]

Danault is very under-rated. He does so much for the Kings. Wonder how he would've fit in here.

 

[Captain Lindy]

That Draisaitl is very unlikeable.

Agree 100%. People are talking more about the awful officiating than anything else.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about officiating. They're all going to be obselete within the next 10 years. AI is going to take over officiating in at least half the major sports leagues within that time.

This year's playoffs have been marred with the referees becoming the story more than the game itself in at least one game in just about every series thus far.

Tampa-Toronto is a shitshow.

So is Edmonton-LA.

Last night the minor to Igor with no cancelling minor to Meier that allowed the Devils to tie it up.

The noncall that led to the Game 2 winner for Carolina against LI.

Florida-Boston had something happen one game.

Bad calls against Minnesota today that led to the eventual game winner against.

No issues in Colorado-Seattle or Jets-Vegas than I'm aware of.

yep, that makes me feel better, AI taking over. Sigh.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Darnell Nurse only makes 250k less than Fox per season. What an atrocious contract.

 

[Captain Lindy]

SON OF A BITCH

 

[Boris Zubov]

This game has been a roller coaster

 

[Captain Lindy]

I don't know why but I'm rooting for the Kings.

 

[ReddestRum]

I love these back and forth games when it's not us.

 

[Boris Zubov]

OMG what a save.

 

[Row I Goon]

I don't know why but I'm rooting for the Kings.

Same. Rooting against EDM is rooting against the NHL star chamber I reckon as they appear hell bent on getting McD to the SCF

 

[LeetchisGod]

I love OT games when it's not us.

Yup. Plus I'd HATE to see that prick Draisaitl win anything. He's a POS.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The Oilers-Kings game is stupid.

The entire series has been stupid for that matter.
