Grabner's stick wasn't even parallel to the ground, it was angled UPWARDS and draped right across DZ's chest. That's an easy call to make.

I did think they missed a hooking call on Bickel earlier in the game, though, and the Rangers commentary team mentioned that Tavares took an accidental high stick behind the play at one point, though I didn't see that one happen. I guess the refs didn't either. Other than that I don't see any issues. All the Islanders' penalties were clear penalties, and for once we played a pretty disciplined game.

Both teams played well last night, and Tortorella's rolling two lines throughout the third wore your top line out trying to match up, and that enabled us to tie the game and eventually win. That was probably the first game of ours this season where it felt like both teams were playing well and executing their game plans.

If you want to blame anyone for the loss, blame Lundqvist. You probably would have had about a 3 goal lead after 2 if a lesser goalie was in there.

I'm extra salty about the officiating, but yes, Lundqvist stole a few.

The Grabner call was questionable, and were it not for the amount of missed calls earlier in the game, I wouldn't even dispute it. But goddamn.

Okposo and the entire coaching staff got misconducts for arguing the officiating, obviously we were getting a bit of a raw deal.

That said, it was a hell of an exciting game and glad to have gotten a point out of it. I stand by my "Fuck the Rangers" comment, because fuck the Rangers.

The best part about being back in the states is Chik-Fil-A. SO. GOOD.

You better watch out. I got banned for this and Tim Thomas got sent to the Islanders. Both are equally as horrible.

Burke is salty.

I don't think he would have sent Connolly down, trade Lombardi, and let the kids from the farm play if he was still around.

I don't know. Burke always at least said the coach made the decisions on who played. You can never say for sure what would have happened.

 

[yankeehater]

No he got banned for being a dick in a thread about CFA's hateful policies.

Burke is salty.

To which Brian Murray replies: "Yeah, sucks doesn't it?"

 

[Sanjuro]

That wasn't the reason for the ban. It was for "boasting" about mentioning having Chick-fil-A, in a thread where everyone was "boasting" about not getting it. Hypocritical.

Also, their grilled chicken sandwich with waffle fries is the greatest thing known to man.

You can see why that would upset people, right?

Except that wasn't why I was banned though. I don't see why it would upset anyone, unless they were trying to be uppity...the same people proclaiming how they are going to go out of their way to get a chicken sandwich.

My comment wasn't attempting to rub in the face of anybody either.

Think about this way:

There's a thread saying the owner of restaurant x killed someone, everybody's upset and you go in saying "omg i love restaurant x".

You really don't understand how that would upset people even more?

Except that wasn't what I posted. Also, no. If the owner of a McDonald's killed someone, I wouldn't expect people who like salty burgers to go into hiding.

Weird people. I just made the comment in jest to Red_Man.

The owner of Chik-Fil-A would have to kill my family in front of me to make me stop eating there.

Ric Natress is on hockey central. Awesome. I love this guy, he sounds like a Leaf fan, he provides good critical analysis whether Toronto wins or loses. I love his post-game show with Gord Stellick.

Doug McLean is a fucking clownshoe. Any bets on how many times he mispronounces JVR's name?

I don't have any around here. When I had CFA last was during the banning, out in Texas on vacation.

If you are talking fast food tier, they are one of the best. Hands down. It's certainly not Chicago here, but I pride myself in finding local greasy spoon locations. Problem is they are spread out and not always ideal for a quick pick-up or food for a drunken night.

Hello, NHL GAF

That is me with the saves Price has been making lately.

Not as pretty, with a more frightening stare than hers.

Well, after 5 months of being considered an intern and working through a temp agency, I have officially become a full time employee at my work. Yay!!

Lightning are 1-9 in one-goal games.
Lightning have not won a single game (0-14) when they've scored less than four goals.

Christ we suck.

I've developed a new affinity for Hockey Central. Milard is pretty wooden, but Kypreos and McLean have the funniest voices on radio. They're like cartoon characters.

Chris Bourque on waivers. Daddy can only bring you so far.

Still, hope he isn't claimed. He plays fine in Providence.
