SCF Game 2: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT | TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

This is a game where it's felt like the Refs made it all about them. The conspiracy theorist in me says the NHL wants Vegas to win because this is the playoffs. Let them play.

I'm not taking anything away from the Panthers playing like Shit. They have a lot to clean up going into the next game. I just want that game evenly called, maybe slightly in favor of Florida.

Refs have their work cut out for sure but they’re also clowning it up big time

Thank f***ing god that Vegas is smacking the Panthers. I was going to lose it if I had to hear 4 months of “teams need to build like Florida” when their recipe for winning was opportunistic goal scoring in OT combined with near perfect goaltending.

This game could have been played 5 on 5 and it likely would have been the same result. Knights have outexecuted and outworked the Panthers thoroughly. No amount of shit officiating would have changed this oucome.

Just like basketball. Becoming a p***y sport.

You know what's missing? Fighting. When I was growing up the players settled things with a fight.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Can't wait to see what the refs have cooked up tonight to hand Vegas their 14th win of the playoffs.

 

[Sheppy]

Has there ever been this many penalty mins issued out without one fighting major?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Worst case scenario is Bob being rattled

 

[JKG33]

That’s hilarious. If they beat Tampa, you’d say they beat a good team. If they beat the Rangers, you’d say they beat a good team. Those teams got bounced in the first round.

You don’t face bad teams in the Playoffs. Anybody can win.

I most certainly would not have said that about the Rangers. Gross

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I didn’t hit post. Wtf.

 

[GMR]

LOL. Yeah, it's called basketball.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Maybe 5

So, where do the first, second, and fourth place teams rank in that top 5?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pretty f***ing sad this is one of the better games of the playoffs.

Like top 3 easily.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Guys wanna hit the tables before they flying out apparently

They probably got an impeccable scouting report on the local strip clubs to boot.

 

[CupInSIX]

Domination for almost a full 60 minutes.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Larry "Bud" Melman sighting?

Everyone needs a hot goaltender like a Lundqvist.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

If you watched Hockey pre 2010, you'd think there was some crazy brawl that happened with how long they're taking to deal out penalties.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Of course you do.

Of course I do what? I want to enjoy a Stanley Cup Final game. The panthers played like Shit, and it's frustrating. I don't like how soft some of these misconduct calls are. Let them play.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Idk what it is…I hate Montour and his face. Just seems like a pompous douche to me.

 

[GMR]

Worst case scenario is Bob being rattled

He's probably already in the poker room at Aria.

You're fans of a hockey team and no one needs to apologize for that. Nothing though can erase the frustration of Canucks and Sabres fans when we watch teams like VGK and the Kraken, immediately following admittance to the NHL, waltz straight into positions as prominent, powerhouse teams.

I had a post about this on BOH, and I appreciate the sentiment likely equal you do my previous story.

Old teams are hampered by previous management decisions that were bad and subsequent decisions are made on those past mistakes. If every team had no baggage, they’d do what Vegas has done.

The players selected aren’t the issue, which means the teams aren’t the issue.

I think expansions having the ability to draft mid level players just exposed how bad NHL management is in general once they got to win with mid level players.

We have a management problem in the NHL, and maybe in sports in general, but it’s not fun to think in-depth about concepts, so we’ll complain about expansion drafts and players. Maybe refs.

 

[napoleon in rags]

I haven't watched but i heard that Ratko got turned into Goulash. Pity I missed it

 

[Sheppy]

I could have used some of these penalty minutes in my last week of fantasy hockey for f*** sakes.

 

[ChanceVegas]

Winner winner poultry meal.
