[My Special Purpose]

I am 1-0, so I'm doing this again.

@Navin R Slavin is 1-2, so he's fired.

Bit of a weird series so far in that neither team seems to have any momentum, and the goaltending has been subpar on both sides. Those two things are probably related.

Both starters probably go tonight, but I wouldn't doubt both coaches will have itchy trigger-fingers if either struggles out of the gate.

You can buy the AHL playoff package from their website. It's $25. I had a bunch of glitches at first but they worked themselves out.

If you're looking for something that's *ahem* free....no, unfortunately there's nothing.

I miss when Time Warner Cable aka "Spectrum" used to air Checkers playoff games and select home games on their special events channel. Those were the days.

Roy -> Fleury almost had another goal

The officiating in this game is atrocious, but it's somehow working in our favor up 3-1 with 2 SHG lol Most of the penalties have been weak calls, meanwhile in the 1st, we had a guy get totally tangled up, pulled down, puck stolen, flung up for a breakaway and nearly a goal.

EDIT: Also, no Necas or Jurco tonight (illness), Renouf out as well

 

[WreckingCrew]

PP literally generated nothing, not a shot, not control in their zone, nothing (Toronto had more pressure than us)

 

[Roboturner913]

Fleury can score goals? I did not know that was allowed

Hell that was a nice shot too. Not the best angle and on the short side and he freaking buried it

 

[Roboturner913]

TBH I don't get them playing their backup goalie

 

[WreckingCrew]

Lol, muscled a guy off the puck and got called for tripping...refs can just **** right off in this game (especially after a cross check from behind just a couple min ago)

 

[WreckingCrew]

3rd time i've seen our guys taken out by our goalie after the whistle, no calls

...correction, we get cross-checked to the ice and somehow BOTH get a penalty? 4 on 4 at least

Couple posts recently for Toronto but we've been putting on solid pressure too, lots of uncalled obstruction/interference has neutered most of them

 

[WreckingCrew]

They ALMOST called a penalty on Bishop for what was a clean hit to the chest on a guy who tried to cut across the ice, strangely they actually reviewed it and called NO penalty...I'm shocked they pulled their heads out of their @$$es with the way they've called this game so far

(of course "ref you suck" is now being chanted lol)

 

[WreckingCrew]

Oh look, another weak garbage call where two guys collide and we get a penalty, gotta keep trying to help Toronto get some goals (penalties now 6-2 for Toronto)

EDIT: Marchmant literally had to blow through Shilkey nowhere near the play at center ice to get a 2 min penalty

 

[WreckingCrew]

Half a powerplay, still no shots for us, a couple for Toronto

If we win this, it's mostly Tokarski stealing the game (almost 40 shots at this point), we have like 2 shots in 13 min of the 3rd

 

[WreckingCrew]

Toronto pulling the goalie with nearly 4 min to go

 

[WreckingCrew]

I'd have to look at the rulebook, but Saarela basically had a free goal, got interfered with and shoved into the goal (preventing him from shooting), and the puck hit something after that and didn't go in...I thought they could award a goal if a basically free tap in on an EN doesn't go in due to interference from the defending team?

 

[WreckingCrew]

4-1 on a weird, super bouncy puck that we touched about 6 times before Bishop was able to shovel it in, 1:55 to go

 

[Roboturner913]

they ass got beat
