If you would like to have an educated discussion about this I'm happy to do so, but I have zero interest in engaging in a debate that is built on the premise that JT's only redeeming qualities is that he skates slow, hits the goalie in the chest and turns pucks over.
Of course, it is to some extent because if you really look at any battle along the boards or in front of the net, you could probably have multiple penalties every minute or so.
We're here, complaining? What else are we supposed to be doing? Picketing outside the rink?
...or the players would adjust and we would have even more open and speed. I don't have faith in that, but it's what I would want to see happen.
Both teams got away with calls. Just that the Refs allowed egregious ones for the Avs. And you can't deny the disparency between the amount of power plays. Check out every game today, they all have roughly the same amount of powerplays.
Guys like Sid, Malkin, Kane, Kucherov got paid after they won championships. These guys haven't won a damn thing and they all received royal treatments.
If someone doesn't think this is exactly what will happen, they haven't been paying attention.
It was f***ing horrible before the ink dried.
They don't make em like that no more. Those guys are cut from a different cloth.
Tavares is 100% coming back. $6.5 million x 3. Or something like that. Unless he is feeling extra generous and takes $5 mil.
