Nate Schmidt is just a ray of sunshine.

Default excuse is "its the playoffs" but that tripping call was as soft as feather down. Call the obvious **** if you must make calls.

Until Vegas has been in the league long enough, you can't complain!!

 

[snowkiddin]

Problem throughout all of the playoff series. No consistency in calls during the games and different standards in every game. No one on any teams know what a penalty is during the game and then the standards change for the next game in the series. NHL needs to find a way for consistent officiating in games.

This guy knows his stuff.

 

[RonJon]

I just feel nhl refs are terrible in general.
Hurts an amazing product the way games are called.

It’s really no win for them. Fans (on both sides) scream at no calls and then scream when they call it tight because their controlling the game. What ya gonna do?

 

[pbgoalie]

Emojis incoming!

 

[Cletus Marley]

Jets are going to come out swinging.

Exactly just be consistent. Call Wheeler when he didn't do anything then don't call four crosschecks on schief in front of the net.

 

[Section88]

Maybe just me but i didnt have a problem with the penalty
Pretty obvious call, maybe a dive but not blatant. However they should be more consistent with it. If they call that they should have called Chiarot on Haula and whoever tripped morrissey near the net

 

[heretik27]

Jeez, am I the only one who saw the Jets control most of that second period and the majority of the first? Vegas scored on their opportunities, Jets for whatever reason are struggling to score just like they did at home vs Nashville. Vegas isn't giving much up, but they're not pressing the attack anywhere near as much. Jets get one and this game is going to open up and get crazy.

 

[HanSolo]

Carrier is also more skilled with the puck than Reaves (doesn't say all that much) and tends to be more tenacious, as well.

I don't know. I think Reaves is stronger on the puck and smarter with his passes when he has it. Carrier is better with stick work in flight, I'll give you that but Reaves when he's actually focused on the hockey seems to be the more effective player.

 

[Alex1234]

Expected more then 19 SOG after 2 from WIN at home

Vegas was playing prevent rather than man to man defense. Winnipeg controlled possession but Vegas gave them very few dangerous chances at net. Especially compared to the first period.

if your stick is in front of their skates and they fall expect a tripping call

I'm sure most of you of have watched enough hockey to know this by now

The wheeler hold was probably one of the worst of the playoffs too. Lol Been like this since the 2nd round started.

I don't think it's much to ask for consistency the missed trip in front of the Jets net, and the one called just now are pretty good example of inconsistency it's frustrating to anyone who loves the game.....they have to be better imo

But yeah, who wants a job where you're hated every SINGLE night

 

[CupInSIX]

Jets are going to come out swinging.

because they know the refs wouldn't call a slash?

 

[ryerockarola]

come out and score on the power play would open the game up

 

[Vegan Knight]

I don't know. I think Reaves is stronger on the puck and smarter with his passes when he has it. Carrier is better with stick work in flight, I'll give you that but Reaves when he's actually focused on the hockey seems to be the more effective player.

I don't mind anyone preferring Reaves over Carrier, probably is more effective when he's on but I think having both to switch out for each other when they aren't on is a good situation to have.

 

[Straight Fire]

Fleury back in Conn Smythe form. Some posts, but still, he's playing great.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Yeah but the difference here is I'm not an humongous Jets hater who will tell that Jets have no chance to win this series when it's not true.

Yeah, I never once said they had no chance of winning the series at all unlike multiple jets fans in this very thread. I said the Knights will in the series in 5 games, and hope the hometown hero Ryan Reaves scores a hatty, that's it. If the Jet's win, they win. At least be honest when trying to conversate.

 

[HanSolo]

20 years yes. And plays like that get let go all the time even in the regular season. Like I said, given how both teams have comported themselves, we were overdue for a call. So I'm not upset. I just wish the more obvious stuff from both sides would've been called. If the refs were keeping their nose to the glass on that play it could've been 4 on 4 for the embellishment.

 

[heretik27]

Yup. It's pretty risky to try and hold a two goal lead against a strong offensive team, but they're doing a good job getting in the lanes and keeping narrow gaps everywhere.

When you call Vegas in 4 you basically say we have no chance of winning this series. So piss off with that crap. We all knew you thought we would get slaughtered don't change your tune now. We all see through your bullshit.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't mind anyone preferring Reaves over Carrier, probably is more effective when he's on but I think having both to switch out for each other when they aren't on is a good situation to have.

I agree with that.

 

[Canuck16]

I really enjoy the chemistry and skill of Karlsson and Marchessault. They remind me of young Datsyuk and Zetterberg.
