I have no idea either. Callahan grabbed his stick and I'm not sure about the Penalty shot.

All original six teams should play each other in outdoor games.
Habs/Leafs
Wings/Blackhawks
Rangers/Bruins
Southern Ontario would probably get another team before the NHL would let something that awesome happen.
I am guessing they think Callahan got called for diving, which isn't true. He got called for holding the stick, which he obviously did. McDonagh covered the puck in the crease, which is a penalty shot.
Again, Flyers being on the powerplay with 5 or so minutes to go was BS...and Timonen could've been called for hooking on Gaborik's break...but neither of the calls at the end were bad calls. The refs let them play and I'm all for that.
And this, I don't want the Flyers taking part in this for a long time.

I'd rather see a fucking Pacific team for once in a Winter Classic. Even if it's Dallas or the Queens.
wont happen. its all about the ratings

Where's the classic in that?
Then we'd just be complaining about Bryz's shitty goals given up instead of Bobrovsky's shitty goals given up. Never changes in Philadelphia.

LOL in a blowout sort of way. Maybe when Sacco is fired and we trade Stastny for someone worth their contract.
Wings/Avs in Colorado would be cool.
Well now that that shit is over, time for the important stuff. Sharks-Nucks tonight, Sharks really need to find a way to win against the Nucks. Last game was really good but they need this win, it would do wonders for the teams confidence.
Things I think would help the Sharks tonight:
1. Don't make it a special teams battle. Our PK is improving but it still isn't good and the PP has been looking worse. 5 on 5 though the Sharks really compete and do well against the Nucks.
2. Big guys need to show up. Marleau can't coast for another game and Thornton needs to stop being hilarious and start paying attention on the ice and not turning over the puck so much.
3. Burns could make all the difference tonight, he hasn't played well against the Nucks so far this season so if he can get it into gear for just one fucking game against them then it should do wonders for the team.

I didn't get to post or watch during the Avs/Ducks game, but well done on having Hejduk overperform.
I just miss that rivalry from the 90's/early 2000. Those games were always fucking crazy.

Yeah I miss those days too. Seems to be a theme with Avs fans. We will be good again at some point in the future, damnit.
Don't know. I'm pretty sure he was on the ice and thus could've taken it. Giroux is way more creative on his attempts, but I believe Briere has a higher success rate.
It's not like Briere is some slouch in shootout/penalty shot situations, but Henrik made him look like a dope on that one in a big moment.

Man, an outdoor game of the Wings and Avs of the late 90's early 2000's would have been so epic!!
That play with the empty net was called correctly. I was freaking out at first on how they could blow a call so badly, but you can clearly see that Callahan pulls the stick into his body to try and draw the penalty which was a pretty bonehead move since there would've had to be a penalty anyway or he could've scored. It didn't matter anyway.
I knew Briere was just going to shoot on the penalty shot. It was the end of the 3rd period on already sketchy ice. Dekeing would've been like asking to lose control of the puck. I'm sure Lundqvist knew this as well.

This is like the olympics, it's a complete joke, it's not hockey.
EDIT: Haha and Esposito defending it. What the fuck.

This stuff is really cool. I hope NBCS continues airing stuff like this.
I couldn't stop laughing at the angry tone of the translating voice over. :lol
I'd even consider buying the Rangers/Flyers disc on Blu-Ray/DVD.TemplaerDude

Finally got around to uploading some photos from the last couple days. Overall the whole experience was absolutely amazing. I had awesome seats, and the whole environment was absolutely amazing. Today's game was a fucking punch to the face though. No reason the Flyers should have lost that game. We were dominating for far too long. That said, I've never felt that good after such an awful loss.
