NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."

Still bitter about me saying that Edler's better than Phaneuf defensively? Christ I clicked on your post history to find the "norris" post from last night and almost every single post is some bitter comment about the Canucks.

There's one from game 2 too when he cost your team the game.
 
No ruling on Shaw until tomorrow. In other words, the NHL got word Smith didn't practice and is waiting to see if he's concussed.

This is horseshit. That should have absolutely no bearing on something that shouldn't even have warranted a hearing.
 
This is what a tight playoff game should be, hard clean grinding game, very exciting. First goal may very well be the game winner. Very reminiscent of dead puck era playoff hockey. Non of that dirty shit from the last game.

It's been that way all season, you can't expect them to change it during the playoffs.
 
Don't poke the bear.

:( I'm jealous that he is a massive brute of a man.

Agreed 100%. It'll be an even better game if the Sens win. this is shaping up to be a 1-0 game.

But then you have the supervisor of referees in the CHI-PHO series saying the league punishes based off the offense and not the result. It's infuriating.

He probably just lost his magic 8-ball.

I'm stunned that four goals have been scored in this game.
 
Tuning into the NYR-OTT game during the intermission. How is this already in the 3rd period? Didn't both games start at the same time?!

They did. When the 2nd period ended I was baffled to see that the Caps/Bruins game was only midway through the 2nd.

This game is flying by, very fast pace.

I looked up the comment and he was talking about the on ice call (game misconduct) not the supplementary discipline. The league office has the luxury to take into account all factors whereas the refs have to make real time decisions.
