Bullshit goal. Blow it dead, fuck the "tough hockey man" garbage.

I fucking haaaaate those "look at how tough hockey players are" Facebook posts.

 

[Mentok]

Wow that sell...back and to the left.

 

[Pollux]

Love when refs take over the game.

This. If the dude takes a shot off the ankle and is still limping around fine. But when someone is laying on the ice bleeding from the head the fucking whistle needs to be blown.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Wheres Zaraki to bitch about the refs now?

Hiding out with yodathesoda

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

:lol BJs throwing a tantrum for their own guy knocking Hornqvist into their goalie. Love it

Wheres Zaraki to bitch about the refs now?

:lol Love the salt. I have no idea how that wasn't blown dead.

 

[Foggy]

Relax bro I am half watching the game at work. I edited my post

"Relax bro"?

Jesus, what happened to Shadow Soldier? Wish he was around.

 

[MetatronM]

Not our best period of hockey ever.

 

[Pollux]

Not to beat a dead horse but these refs are fucking garbage.

 

[imBask]

Do the Rangers know you're allowed to stop the opposing team between the blue lines? That neutral zone is a Habs highway

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I would like Mitchell on that line with Ott and Martinsen than King and Ott

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Jackets have been pretty undisciplined

 

[Marvie_3]

LMAO, this is some pretty "interesting" officiating so far this game

.

 

[Red_Man]

AGallys line looks good, pretty decent period for being on the road

Sucks about Werenski. The rule on injuries during play can really suck sometimes. Unless refs consider it a serious injury (puck to the face is pretty serious), play isn't blown dead until Columbus took possession of the puck. Guess refs didn't think it was that serious to blow the whistle.

I fucking haaaaate those "look at how tough hockey players are" Facebook posts.

lol I know. I find them annoying and racist when a comparison is drawn up against basketball players.

 

[calder]

No, the rule is fine as it is, just bad luck for the Jackets. They would have blown the play dead if a jacket had come close to touching the puck but they didn't, and the play only went on about 5 seconds until the goal.

If they blew a whistle every time a guy went down in his own end while the other team has the puck it would happen every game, every time a guy blocked a shot protecting a lead with tired linemates he'd stay down for the whistle.

I thought it was serious, but I meant to highlight that it's subjective and the refs didn't think it was serious enough to blow the play dead within the few seconds between the injury and goal. It can suck sometimes on the side of the Jackets.

I'll never get the masturbatory fervor some hockey fans have for this.

Yup. I mean it'll always be a judgement call but refs are too willing to swallow whistles with that.

Cant really fake blood, I'd say that's an exception to the rule that's acceptable.

I honestly don't know why this isn't implemented. Seriously, I never played the game, but know that full masks are used at the lower levels, so why not here? I mean they have full face guards in football, why wouldn't you want one in a game where you're firing a hard rubber disk around?

No one saw blood until he stood up, right around when the Pens scored.

 

[Marvie_3]

They saw him get hit in the head with a puck. That should be enough.

 

[Foggy]

Didn't stop the refs from doing the same thing earlier in the season when it happened to Calvert against the Rangers. It's a judgment call and this was shitty judgment.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

If you're getting hit in the head/face area then you're definitely in a bad spot. It should be perfectly acceptable to always blow that dead immediately, regardless of outcome.

 

[lamaroo]

Just reminded that with no LA in the playoffs, hockey broadcasts will have to rely on NY for all of their celebrity sightings.

 

[mo60]

Hope the Canadiens score soon so a canadian team today like the other canadian teams that played yesterday does not have to deal with one or more overtimes.

 

[Red_Man]

Some horseshoe Lunqvist is carrying around right now

 

[Mentok]

We just can't buy a goal! Even with the Rangers doing their best to give us one (well, minus Henry ole boy)

How will Will Ferrell eat up his time?

Will Margo Robbie be at the Rangers games? This is most important.

Do people still care that Vince Vaughan is a Blackhawks fan?

Yet they don't blow a play dead when a helmet falls off, only for the goalie.

I'm not downplaying the injury, I just am tired of "player safety" being an issue when it's easily avoidable.

I forgot about all of the Canadian Celeb sightings we'll get at the ACC!

Romanuk said he spotted Rick Moranis... The situation is dire

 

[Smiley90]

Holy shit Werenski's face. Dude can barely see!

 

[Foggy]

Jesus Christ, Werenski should not be out there

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I thought Rick Moranis died

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Dude's cheekbone placement looks off.

 

[imBask]

Galchenyuk's been real bad so far this game. He's pretty good at pretending to be intense but actually just turning the puck over and getting outplayed physically

 

[Smiley90]

RIP BJ's

Rangers are so terrible defensively, it's amazing they're even in the playoffs

I agree, especially for a league that tinkers with all manner of equipment for player safety.

I dont even care if Vince Vaughn is alive or not.

hey he was the only good thing in HACKsaw Ridge

At this point I'm mostly mad at Foggy for not warning me sooner about rooting for the Jackets. 😒
