Pre-Game Talk: Greed is Good - Lets win both in Dallas

[KCC]

EDM better be ready especially Skinner. Dallas will come out hard I'm sure. And hopefully EDM actually gets some PP's. Yeesh.

Tell me this is it more profitable for an oversaturated market with practically zero room for growth to win, or a team from the sun belt with a massive TV market? Again I never said it’s rigged but it is absolutely influenced at times.

So, all the Canadian refs are in on it then? They're complicit with favoring "sun belt" teams because that's what you're saying?

The refs are not in on some conspiracy, they're just incompetent.

I’d really like the league to consider another official like on the bench or somewhere with a good vantage. They can look for things without having to also keep up with the game.

Might not work. But the system today just feels inadequate with the speed that game is played at

Too bad it's Spec....

Spec finally brought himself to give Bouch credit. But made sure to give more to Coffey.

Hard to read honestly. Feel a bit dirty giving him a click. But congrats on catching up a bit with reality Spec.

If Henrique is 98% then he might be the healthiest player left in the entire playoffs. Get him out there if you think he can help

The best way for final ratings for the Cup would be a Ranger Oiler matchup

Wwe King/Queen of the ring tomorrow, and then oilers. What a day

Going to the brewhouse to watch the game

For sure….McDavid and Drai on Broadway. League’s best players in the best hockey barn….demands large viewing audience.

You do realize most of the refs in the NHL, & 7 of the remaining 8 working the conference finals, are Canadians, right?
Quite the conspiracy to get all the Canadian refs to be complicit in something like this.

There are other ways. Refs watch video. The league can influence refs without the refs being corrupt.


The problem is the obvious conflict of interest between the NHL and Canadian teams in the playoffs. When you pair that, with what looks a trend of biased officiating, it's hard not to question what role the NHL has.

Depends who they are betting on.

Thanks. And yeh what Fishy said, target all limbs lol.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

What's the diffy between 98% and 100%? Nothing. Swap out Brown for Henrique and slide ryan back down to the 4th. We have plenty of PKers, including Adam.

Yeah it comes down to knowing which side your bread is buttered on, not necessarily rigged as you say. They aren't stupid, and they know what gets them the high paying playoff gigs even if it's technically unspoken. It's kind of short sighted to believe that they would just have to buy into being complicit.

Okay Hf Medical. We dealing with a broken finger or sprain?

That's a cybernetic augment meticulously engineered specifically to dummy Jake Oettinger.
