Anisimov!!! What a play!

 

[ElephantShell]

Now that it's been revealed that the Leafs are still shit the Athletic is probably gonna shut down.

 

[Red_Man]

I know guys who did coke while still playing junior and are in the NHL now, I've always assumed it's pretty wide spread in the NHL.

"Cocaine, Alcohol, and Economic Problems in the NHL": A report by Expressen

As translated by Habs Eyes on the Prize:

“I am not speaking about drugs, and I have never seen it with my own eyes. But sometimes you need to party hard because of the pressure we live in. It’s not often, but if you are on a road trip with a rest day between games then you party really hard to clear the system. Then it’s only the Sedins that are at the hotel drinking coffee.”

Hahahaha. I love this part.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Huh Trouba made a dirty as fuck headshot tonight and astroturfing didn't sog up the thread with his tears about it

 

[Cake Boss]

@Pammerhockey: Guy Boucher will have more of an update Monday, but expects the worst for Ryan, Hoffman and Stone. #Sens

This is punishment for enjoying Saturday night too much. I will be neutral from now on.

 

[Marvie_3]

Moose got leveled.

Hahahaha. I love this part.

Lolol

 

[Chris R]

Give Buffalo back to Canada.

 

[Yawnier]

Downtown Connor McBrown

He's probably sleeping. Hopefully he can come and explain tomorrow.

 

[Marvie_3]

Kaner! Holy shit!

My cousin saw Phil Kessel doing blow in a bathroom at a club in Toronto, or so he says....

Pretty sure lots of guys do it though. Pretty sure I heard Kadri had/has a decent coke problem.

 

[Clockblockers]

all four lines scored today; nice change from yesterday

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Absolutely nobody on Werenski, and then that happens

 

[Marvie_3]

Another high stick? Yikes dudes.

all four lines scored today; nice change from yesterday

Plus Panik would probably have a hat trick if he wasnt falling all over himself all over the ice tonight.

 

[Yawnier]

Wowwwwwwww

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Matty Ekholm!

Nice pass by Forsberg!

 

[calder]

Also how ancient this fucking league when even Fifa has goal line technology, can put a chip in the fucking puck? You can't put a camera in the net?

There are the cameras in the nets but they're often blind by whatever is blocking the puck from the other camers, in this case Helle's glove or leg or shoulder etc. And, if Helle did have a pad on the puck then I *think* the goal wouldn't have counted due to the attacking player pushing him into the net. You never see even a bit of the puck so it's a moot point I guess.

Everyone always says "can't you track the puck in a non-visual way?" and the answer is yeah maybe but it would almost certainly involve a radioactive isotope strong enough to show through bodies... which may be an issue. Any chip or something inside the puck that could be "seen" through a goalies pad and body would probably mean lead aprons for everyone.

I think they are looking at sensors under the ice which could help, but wouldn't do much for pucks not on the ice. And anyone who remembers how glitchy the Fox puck was (which was IR, so still line of sight) knows that it won't be accurate enough to know by a half inch where the puck is.

 

[Chris R]

Avs pp continues to be complete trash

 

[Quick]

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Nice save by Saros

 

[bonesmccoy]

Matthews!

Punished Cake Boss!

Goal-line technology!

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

There's two failed Craig Smith breakaways

Send his ass to Vegas

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Early ass whistle what the fuck

 

[Chris R]

Fucking early ass whistles against the Avs yet again. Puck was in play, shoulda been a goal, we need all the help we can get

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Ellis being helped down the tunnel, hope it isn't bad.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Dear fucking lord Tyutin is a blackhole

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Preds win!

I give it four games before Fiala gets sent back down to the minors for reasons.

 

[Chris R]

Pickard wtf are you doing out so fucking far

 

[Unhandled Exception]

My favorite thing about Barrie is when he puts his head down and slapshots on the PP no matter how many people are in front of him. Works bigly! Leads the league in PP goals! Sad!

 

[astroturfing]

Huh Trouba made a dirty as fuck headshot tonight and astroturfing didn't sog up the thread with his tears about it

didn't see it, was making myself a sandwich or i was in the sauna.

did he try to injure a rookie teenager?

 

[Yawnier]

Cam Ward is ass

 

[DopeyFish]

lol is that the only way brown can score goals

 

[BigJonsson]

That Matthews goal was insane

 

[Yawnier]

McBrown loves playing against the eastern conference teams that have empty arenas (Canes and Panthers) for some reason

 

[DopeyFish]

omg that hyman breakaway where the puck smacked himself in the face

i think that was a goal

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Ryan Johansen whining about not getting a video package in Columbus, as if anyone knew he was there tonight beyond one or two plays.

Joey pls

 

[bonesmccoy]

Back to back Hyman breakaway misses

 

[DopeyFish]

holy shit that was nylander

 

[Yawnier]

Lawd Hymen has such stone hands and tunnel vision

 

[BigJonsson]

I'm surprised the play wasn't whistled down when the goalie got nailed


Edit - Heh, hate to be right

 

[bonesmccoy]

Why wasn't that a goal?

Joey pls

They could have at least shown the overtime goal that sent the jackets to the playoffs >_>

[Yawnier]

Why wasn't that a goal?

Incidental contact with goaltender was what ref said I think

 

[bonesmccoy]

Interence with goaltender was what ref said I thibk

Drat. I don't understand the rule. Shouldn't Hyman have been given a penalty?

 

[ElephantShell]

Drat. I don't understand the rule. Shouldn't Hyman have been given a penalty?

If they call it "incidental" there's no penalty.

How they decide? I don't know.

 

[BigJonsson]

How they decide? I don't know.

He was pushed

 

[bonesmccoy]

I completely missed that KEY word in Yawnier's post lol

It didn't look incidental - Hyman skated full bore into Lack and made little effort to avoid him (even with the shove).

 

[DopeyFish]

there was too many questions with that entire goal call but it's not really worth asking as we are up 4-0 in the third

edit: hyman is sooooooooooooooooo bad

 

[ElephantShell]

He was pushed

If they decided he really was pushed then by the rule they should have called it a good goal I think, so that makes it even more confusing.
