imo right call woulda been 2 for ovechkin lumberjacking him and 2 for niskanen since you still have to have control of your stick.
that was not accidental, he was lining him up for a check the whole way, the only thing u can say is that he could have cross checked him harder if he really wanted to.
I legitimately feel like I have zero knowledge of the NHL rule book. Playoff hockey need its own rulebook published online so that we can learn what is and is not a penalty. Every series the refs are terrible. I doubt all 12 of the guys working the various series are just shitty refs so there's gotta be a different, secret book they use.
yeah.. I really start to hate the playoff. The ref are just terrible...
I keep hearing "playoff hockey" or stuff like "playoff rules". WTF is that shit. I dom't know any other sports that just stop calling penalty just because the playoff started, it piss me off.
They still call stupid penalty like pucks out of the ice without touching the glass or hand on pucks, etc.. the "obvious" one that you can pass but they just stop calling everything else (cross-check, slashing, specially hooking). unless it's extremely obvious.. I just hate that.
With the oilers playoff run, we've been able to bring on board some new oilers fans and sometimes they ask the question "are they allowed to do that?" and we usually cannot provide an answer better than "um kinda".

My answer is "The playoffs have no rules"
It's not just the ducks I am complaining about either though they are definitely more aware of how to abuse the lack of reffing than most. All teams, even the Oilers do shit that in the reg season gets you sat for 2 but in the playoffs gets you nothing.
Could you imagine if the NFL stopped calling pass interference or holding in the playoffs or the NBA stopped calling all there million different fouls? There would be riots. Why do we NHL fans put up with this crap?
yeah. what's fucking weird is that as much as buchnevich will be a great player someday, Glass has been useful when in the lineup.
for Ottawa, I think it is helping since he's been really good on the forecheck, and outside of gimy Karlsson, they're not a team that moves the puck well
I remember the good ol days when Sports Illustrated wasn't a shitrag. They had a profile on Messier once. There was a quote from some Islanders rookie who tagged him and Messier spent the entire game chasing him around before elbowing him stupid
can't have Messier chat without him murdering Modano (helper to the paramedics at the end)
Probably because he doesn't even remember it happened. I read the title of the video and thought to myself "that's exaggerating a little isn't it?" and watched the video and now agree with the title.
Don't believe what I just saw. How was no timeout called after goal 2. How do you blow a 3 goal lead with 3 and change on the clock.
I really do not see how Edmonton can win game 6 after this. I think it's over. In part because Getzlaf is just a fucking beast right now and can do no wrong, in part because Edmonton cannot win a single faceoff and in part because the referees are clearly on Anaheim's side as evidenced by the fact goalie interference is legal on Talbot
On Sunday in the first period I want any Oiler on the ice with the puck to drive the net and absolutely run over Gibbson. Make as little effort to shot as possible and just deck him. Hopefully the puck goes in the net then we can all see how biased the goal review process really is.
