lol coach Yeo spitting fire at the post game. Calling out the Sharks for diving and embellishing for some of their calls, openly wondering if the Wild needs to do it more To fit in with today's NHL.

Can't say I disagree. Some of those calls tonight were legit. The Sharks probably should have had 3-4 good power plays. The Wild were horribly undisciplined

But that Thornton dive from Cookes apparent trip and Konopka's phantom double minor really highlight a stretch of horrible officiating lately.

That Konopka call was terrible.

Enjoyed the game overall. It was the first west coast game I've stayed up for in awhile and I was not disappointed. Thought Couture played a hell of a game even though he didn't score.

Yeah, Thornton dove there but, really, did anyone else? Cooke dove to try to get a penalty too. Wingels got slewfooted by Parise with no call. To be fair, also, Thornton fell down while Cooke had put his stick right between his legs. Pretty stupid thing to do anyway.

The Konopka double minor was a really, really bad call. Although if Yeo, like our resident hockey scholar Vman, insinuated that it was a dive then he can fuck right off. He got high sticked and it drew blood, just wasn't a Wild stick.

Basically, hey Yeo, get your fucking team under control. Cry later.

Leafs have 2 regulation wins in their last 19 games. I didn't realize they were in that much of a slide, pretty unreal.

I just realized yesterday that this year, I'm going to TWO Spengler Cup games, not just one. And seats instead of standing room. Awesome.

Listen, I know your a huge homer but it amazes me that you can't admit that your team dove worse then the Canucks. It was embarrassing for the refs and embarrassing for your team.I know you disagreed with that high stick play but your dude takes two strides then does a full superman dive after getting clipped. Like Yeo said, the Stuart dive was embarrassing too and there were several others. Not saying we didn't deserve a few but it got out of hand.

Gaf has a fire ant defence force. Unbelievable, some of these people need to go outside once in a while.

“Chris Tanev has spent nearly 79 mintes on the ice in 4-on-5 situations this season. In those roughly 79 minutes Vancouver’s goal differential, in 4-on-5 situations I’d remind you, is even.”

Zomfg. That defensive stalwart.

Tanev, Richardson, Garrison and burrows all are even in 4on5 situations, of those getting significant PK ice time. Out of which tanev gets by far the most (most of all Canucks) Coincidentally, Tanev and Richardson have also been on the ice for all our shorthanded goals this season.

So tanev was on the ice for 3 goals for and 3 goals against in 79 minutes of PK time. Daaaaamn.

I hate this team, this season has been such a roller coaster ride of a glitter of hope and than a great big fiery mess of disappointment. I think I may try to go a week without checking on any scores or try to avoid NHL junk, just as a needed break since I'm getting too frustrated with this stupid team right now. I need to care less about them.

It's funny because two-three years ago, the problem was Toskala/Giguere/Reimer/Gustavsson letting in beachballs every game. Now it's.... pretty much everything BUT goaltending.

Something needs to happen. Not necessarily big. But, i can smell Kulemin, Fraser, Ranger, Liles, Gardiner being moved. Nonis won't be touching the center position before Bozak/Bolland comes back .
