GDT: Around the NHL - Playoff Edition

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I don't have any issue with the goal. I don't think there was a "distinct kicking motion", and even if there was, Helly's motion had more to do with it. Bad bounce for the Jets, but as Ray says in Trailer Park Boys... "The way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't."

Eh like someone else says, don't confuse incompetence with malice.
They ref the score to keep things closer, but I don't think there's a bias for/against certain teams.
They also let a ton of crap go in the playoffs that would get you a penalty in the RS.

Maybe not teams specifically but wasn't there some controversy a few years ago (maybe part of the Peel thing) where it was discovered that refs keep lists of guys who they consider to be problems? On one hand something like that seems harmless enough... on the other that's essentially setting a standard game to game based on past transgressions which is very much a kind of bias.

I think even if this isn't the case and I am misremembering that there are definitely players who can barely look at another player askance without getting a 2 minute stick minor or something. On to have the opposing team illegally crosscheck the PKers on the ensuing penalty kill and somehow that's OK.

Washington looks as bored as we do, and they are supposed to be playing.

Honestly the Canes deserve this series…they’re so much better 5on 5, PK, you name it…the Caps should just forfeit lol

 

[sovietsanta87]

I don’t get it. I mean. Ovechkin bought in to the new system. Hence why he’s better than Crosby. Or something.

Can’t count the caps out. Especially Wilson and Carlson taking runs at people ala trouba

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

They ended the first/started the second with a 4-minute power play, and they only managed a single shot.

And then, almost immediately after the Canes killed the penalty, Jarvis made it 2-0.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Clarke might just be back on the menu, fellas. Probably for Acciari and a 3rd, given Holland's run of dipshittery since he had a roster full of HHOFers.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Are the Kings hiring a GM or the next Pope?

I heard Riley Pope is being interviewed.

Hopefully that’ll ice the game

It's a minor miracle he scored as many as he did this season.

Walker taking notes from Bennett.

Glorrrrrriiiiiooousssss

OV is completely useless at 5v5

It’s funny because that fanbase thought they actually had a true contender this season. Their levels of delusion exceed that of every other fanbase. Love it.

Half this fanbase thought that too.

Lirl Craps….

Start shining up your golf clubs…losers.

Caps have been outscored 12-6 as well

They’re going to regress a bit next year too. Their sh% was unsustainably high this year. They’ll still probably be a playoff team but if there was a year to get Ovi another Cup, this was it.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Walker taking notes from Bennett.

Maybe. He scored a lot of empty net goals and a lot off the power play in his usual spot. He could barely move all season. I made a comment how slow he looked and Ovi’s favorite gargler laughed at me. Oh well

 

[Turin]

Vegas is underwhelming this year. Wonder why they look so much worse. Goaltending? Pietrangelo declining?

 

[SEALBound]

Man, watching ex-Penguin mega stars like Kapanen and Pearson duking it out with Edmonton and Vegas is...odd.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's gonna be fun to watch Corey Perry lose in the SCF again at least.

JK Dallas should slaughter Edmonton.
