Damn.

 

[RC]

Best period we've played all series. Damn shame we couldn't score though.

Hands down. Best period by far. That 3 on 1... schnieder came up huge. He's got mad cahoonas.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Such a love/hate relationship with Quick...

 

[MacAttack]

With each ruling the NHL makes I just am more and more flabbergasted.

There is no rhyme or reason to anything they're doing. It's like they're just drawing the guy's name out of a hat and then spinning a wheel-of-fortune like wheel with random fines and games on it.

The Carkner - Hagelin suspensions shouldn't be that surprising. Injuries are a part of the disciplinary process and have been all season. What Carkner did was stupid but Boyle was much less vulnerable to injury than Alfredsson regardless of intent. The league has come down pretty hard on high hits all season. See Byron Bitz for a comparable high hit and resulting discipline.

 

[Socreges]

Domination 5-on-5.... produces nothing. We're going to lose another fucking game due to shitty special teams, I know it.

You said it was "common sense" he got the misconduct. That only makes sense if you accept the premise that one set of rules is absolutely preferable to the other.

Common sense being that 'late hits that target the head' = BAD.

 

[RC]

PJ Stock once again proving he knows nothing.

 

[KernelPanic]

Karlsson was engaged with him as a willing participant in a scrum, and Boyle's gloves didn't even come off in that exchange. He's not blameless by any means, but the orders of magnitude between what Boyle did to Karlsson and what Carkner did to Boyle are RIDICULOUS.

Willing participant ? Really now ? A 5'11 D-man is willingly going to fight a player who's 6'7 ?

And if you watched older hockey you'd realize that is a gross oversimplification. That's the point.

 

[Socreges]

Boudreau calling out Stock for his nonsense again. "What's he talking about?" I love this guy.

WTF please stop posting.

Yeah that Karlsson is always a willing participant in scrums, especially against a 6'7 players. Yeah that Karlsson really wanted a piece of Boyle, thats what hes know for.

Rangers coming out with a statement about the leagues inconsistency with discipline. Can't blame them, and I doubt it'll be the last here this post season.

Carkner basically assaulted a guy from behind.

Good for them.

I look forward to Philly's statement tomorrow night.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Shanahan needs to GTFO. Bettman should fire him.

Shanahan is too young, this guy still has close links to players in the league, he is inconsistent, he's an idiot. Can't believe all these hits in these playoffs, it wasn't that bad last year.

 

[Socreges]

Make your arguments, whatever they are. But enough with resorting to the meaningless 'you don't know old hockey like I do' stuff.

 

[Square Triangle]

I find it astonishing that a gold medal winning goaltender with such a large fanbase get's benched SO MUCH.

Shanahan was suspending people a lot in the preseason until GMs and NHLPA whined.
Doesn't matter who's in charge of suspensions.

Well this shit is getting out of hands.

I wish I was watching

How has Bruce been on the HNIC panel?

Guy's a great goalie, but a headcase with a fragile confidence. Just about the exact opposite of Dan Cloutier.

 

[Smiley90]

Penner gets a penalty for... uhm... uhm... yeah...

EDIT: Well, good thing Penner's out.

 

[MetatronM]

Nice 3 second power play, Nucks.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

That was a short lived PP for Vancouver.

 

[ActStriker]

4-on-4 on questionable calls eh?

 

[SpectreFire]

That was a short lived PP for Vancouver.

We didn't get scored on. So I consider it a successful PP.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

So proud of Weiss tonight, he was physical, dominated the face-offs and worked on D too. Campbell also stepped up and worked like horse in both ends.

Great game by the Cats.

 

[bardia]

Shit....here we go...

 

[Smiley90]

YEAH RIGHT TAKE OUT BOTH SEDINS. NOT COOL.

 

[SpectreFire]

Oh fuck.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Sedin just got ran over, wow.

Edit: Looked clean.

 

[Marvie_3]

Sedin got destroyed

 

[yodathesoda]

Sweet dreams Hank!

 

[ZeroGravity]

[Dastardly Jerks]

ohhh shit

 

[eneko]

[Coldnoodle]

WHAT A HIT!

 

[ShaneB]

Sigh. More dumb shit.

 

[MetatronM]

And the Kings and Canucks join in the festivities from the rest of the NHL Playoffs.

 

[Vilam]

Man, so much angst around the league :lol

Panthers and Devils are the only ones just playing hockey.

 

[opticalmace]

the hell just happened?

 

[Quick]

lol Kopitar and Burrows. What the hell was that.

 

[white dynamite]

Wtf Kopitar's fighting

 

[Smiley90]

Fuck Henrik going to the dressing room. No Sedins left. That elbow, fuck.

 

[DopeyFish]

Lol

That was a legit hit

^ it was a shoulder hit

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Dustin Brown has seriously become next level these playoffs. Clean hit.

 

[Wendel Clark]

RIP sedin bros

 

[MetatronM]

Now THAT is an elbow to the head. 3 game suspension incoming?


EDIT: Nevermind, I'm wrong. Brutal but clean.

 

[Zombie James]

Clean hit, no contact to the head at all.

 

[snack]

Fuck.
