Hard to predict games today with so many teams on back to backs and starting back up goalies but here goes.

Preds
Canes
Isles
Jets
Bruins
Hawks
Bolts
Rangers (my "upset" pick)

^ Sparks in against Lundqvist(if that's who the Rags start) pretty much evens that playing field.

I watch a ton of hockey and should know this, but do not.
Are T.B vs Florida games the heated battles one would expect them to be?

 

[justafan22]

Is there a reason why 5 games are at 3PM today?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Hope the refs are better today...

But if they were really good no team would ever lose in regulation or O.T.
1271 shootouts.

No trip called...empty net awaits...2 refs with thumbs up their...

And I stand by the fact that no team gets “home cooking” officiating more than Nashville, Tennessee. I can’t wait to see what they do today.

To be fair, it does look like the Pred touches the puck before the trip to the naked eye. Refs missed it, but it's understandable.

Should be interesting. Blues need to play physical today, but stay out of the box. It will be a challenge in that barn.

He doesn’t need to touch the puck for tripping to be waived. They changed the rule years ago. You can touch the puck and still be called for tripping.

Refs get subjective and want to keep the games close. If he calls the trip the Blues go on PP with less the 2 minutes left. Can’t have that....need to keep these games “exciting”....never mind the rules

Hmmmm. Wasn't aware of that.

 

[Osprey]

Am I experiencing deja vu? I just watched Preds/Blues yesterday afternoon. It was a good game, though, so I suppose that I could watch the replay.

I like the Blues uniforms yesterday infinitely better than their road whites.

Yeah that doesnt really matter when the player reaches out and grabs the legs.

Thats a pretty blatant trip.

But that has nothing to do with it being the preds.

As I posted yesterday, here's the tripping rule in the 2018-19 rulebook:

57.1 Tripping – A player shall not place the stick, knee, foot, arm, hand or elbow in such a manner that causes his opponent to trip or fall.

Accidental trips which occur simultaneously with a completed play will not be penalized. Accidental trips occurring simultaneously with or after a stoppage of play will not be penalized.

Trips that are accidental and simultaneous with completion of a play are not penalized, much like the follow through rule with high sticks, so it doesn't seem that much has changed from years ago. I think that it makes more sense that the refs were following that rule and determined that it applied than ignored it just to keep the game close.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Sanford should have taken that to the net.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for clarifying.

Pierre was so giddy i couldn't make out a word he said. Not that it's a bad thing.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Oh man remember Cody McLeod? What a piece of garbage.

I'm sure his face absorbing punches really detered Maroon lol

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Yes, let's rush to commercial when a scrum starts.

Lame ass nbc

Mcleod's and Fiddler's goals in 2017 were probably my favorite.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They call that slash but not Turris' to start the whole thing? Pfffft.

Seriously, announcer is saying mayhem breaking out and we get a camera shot of goalie and D standing there
