Post-Game Talk: The Powerhouse @ Canucks - 10 PM|MSG

[Bob Richards]

Rousel is out with a lower body injury

 

[Crease]

I thought grizzled vet Jimmy Vesey was the last forward to win the Calder.

 

[Tob]

Good call. Headshots need to get out of the game. Lemieux is watching Roussel's head the entire way, and raises his elbows up 90 degrees to make sure to call it. I understand why some would not want the call but in my opinion the league needs more of this type of call on headshots.

He sat on his leg from the fall occurred prior to Lemieux coming within 6 inches of him. When you see a guy falling toward you into your crotch, your first reaction is to stick your arms to push them away. Believe me, I've been pushed away in all kind of ways

 

[TheTakedown]

Markstrom has turned into Hasek tonight for some reason.

He's been very good this year -- probably the only reason why the canucks aren't down in the dumps with the devils

 

[TheDirtyH]

Canucks folks saying Kreider elbow was intentional... even got in a price '14 dig too lmao

Lemieux doesn't even stick his arm out, he just braces and leans forward slightly.
(The overhead replay is at 6:32 left in the period if anyone wants to look at it)

It is what it is. You get tripped by an incompetent defenseman in Montreal one time and you're branded a monster despite being one of the most gentlemanly and scholarly saints off the ice.

 

[TheTakedown]

I have heard Joe make comments about bad officiating. I don't think I've ever heard Sam even bring UP the fact that he doesn't like a penalty. he's been doing it since the first call on kreider, and this year he's been more vocal about the officiating.

You know its getting bad where you hear stuff like this

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Sarcasm? That is not in any way a headshot lmao

 

[Tob]

Dave Maloney is probably still losing his mind right now.

They're a very sensitive bunch.

 

[Machinehead]

Most of them aren't.

Dave Maloney is probably still losing his mind right now.

MSG definitely pays for an 1880s diving suit so Maloney can scream inside of it while on the move in airport terminals without disturbing the peace

 

[Larrybiv]

Well two forwards out at least Lias will get some ice time in the next games.

If he doesnt get ice time TONIGHT with 10 fwrds. then thats a problem. If AV were coach he would just "roll" 3 lines and bench Buch.

 

[Machinehead]

5 minutes for hooking?

 

[Ori]

A hook on Kevin.

 

[nevesis]

These refs tonight....man....

 

[aufheben]

Someone in the Canucks organization needs to start force-feeding Pettersson some spinach, the kid is gonna f***in' break before they're even good again.

 

[effen]

22, New York. Game Misconduct, Hooking.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Shattenkirk has been extra terrible tonight.

 

[mike14]

No problem with the Shattenkirk call, except the same thing will be let go 25 times throughout the rest of the game...

 

[Tob]

I want one more major/misconduct tonight against us.

 

[Larrybiv]

How Namestnikov avoided a game misconduct there I don't know.

And then we wonder why we don't throw many hits. Never know when the refs will give us a match.

 

[Machinehead]

Zibanejad is shrieking at somebody from the bench.

I'm thinking it's the ref?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Namestnicov gets my vote for the Steven MacDonald award.
