I wonder how often a team goes -1 in regulation and gets swept. Three straight OT games and including the last one going to 3OT. Those games were crazy tight and the Jets seemed to caplitalize on any Oilers mistake or fortunate bounce whereas the Oilers didn't. A couple fewer bounces and a couple extra mistakes and that's the series. The Jets' gameplan of riding McDavid like a rodeo sheep everytime he was on the ice worked great. He drew zero penalties all series, which is pretty unreal. The NHL likes parity so they can't have the game's stars be allowed to play to their abilities in the playoffs. The subjective nature of NHL officiating is infuriating. It'd be like if the NFL stopped calling pass-interference in the playoffs to the entire game became who could score more effectively on 3 yard running plays... Bummer end to the season, but I like the Jets so I hope they do well. | ||

I can't be more happy then beating the Leaf in a 7 games... with 3 win in a row. God dam I love that. All hail Price ! ------------ On another note, dam I loved to see the Knights getting beat the shit out after they decided to bench Fleury ! what a dum ass move. Coach shouldn't be allowed to be behind the bench after this kind of dum ass call. | ||

On June 01 2021 03:20 JimmiC wrote: Yeah Sterns greatest move was shipping Betman to the NHL, he is awful. I mean the whole clutching and grabbing era was basically fixed by just calling penalties that already existed and how long did that take and how many dumbbideas were being tossed around. (Removing red line was good too but minor IMO compared to simply calling obvious interference, holding and hooking). Playoff hockey is so amazing there is no reason that the NBA should be so much more popular given that pre bettman they were pretty close. Not that regular season is bad but I can't see any sports fan not getting hooked after watching an awesome playoff series. I don't know if anyone listens to Michael Lewis' "Against the Rules" podcast, but it is excellent. In the first series (about referees) he visits the NBA Replay Centre and discusses the efforts made by the NBA to make officiating more objective and reliable. Unlike the NHL, they understood that fans can't have faith in a product if they can't have confidence in how the rules are applied. The case is made that NBA referees might be the most scrutinized workforce in the entire country. Every call and non-call they make is reported on and provided to the officials and the teams after each game. Every call and non-call for the last few minutes of tight games is published by the NBA for everyone to see. And surprise - NBA refs have gotten a lot better. They are objectively very good at their jobs now and the data supports this. But the problem is that this kind of approach goes very much against the "good-old-boys" mentality that still drives the NHL. Referees often come from a handful of towns or families. They approach it like it's their divine duty to "control the game" as opposed to apply the rulebook. I mean, how can a hockey fan have any kind of faith in what they're watching when we never know what the rules are at any given time and how they will be applied? It's always a total crapshoot. The refs figure that they are "letting them play" by calling an even number penalties (regardless of which team is actively performing far more infractions) and figuring out which rules to apply in the moment. This becomes even more egregious with automatic penalties like delay of game as, in the playoffs, you have players hacking and grabbing each other, making for a shit on-ice product, and then the only penalties that happen are when a dude misses the top of the glass by half-an-inch on a clearing (as an aside, this is a dumb penalty and should be treated like icing where players are unable to change). Refs spend more time looking for an opportunity for a make-up call than actually looking for penalties. The NHL loves parity and their approach to playoff hockey is to dumb everything down so that the best players are your 3rd liners. A team "built for the playoffs" is a low-skill, clutching and grabbing team that can ride the opposition like a dogsled knowing that rules are subjective and NHL refs don't make calls in the playoffs. And my problem is it leads to shittier hockey. I really think the NHL needs to take its officiating seriously if it's ever going to feel like a legitimate, professional sports league. It's just bush league at this point. | ||

So I know I should (and I want to) bet on Bolts to win the "east" but I have a feeling Isles will give them hell and if Bolts somehow lose the first 2 games, they might very well get swept. In the "west" though ... regardless how the VGK-COL series finish, boy are Vegas fans spoiled much? 4 first years of franchise, 1 cup finals, 1 conference finals, 1 first-round exit but in 7 games and currently still in the running ... Many teams would kill for such consistency... | ||

The B's top line is fantastic, imo probably the best in the league, but the isles are just so deep and balanced through their lineup. I hate them for obvious reasons, but it is cool seeing them come together. Barzal is so fun to watch. | ||

Yeah, but at least they didn't trade that pick AND the 33rd pick to the Isles for GRIFFIN FUCKING REINHART, an-already-failing prospect. Peak Chiarelli right there, showing the Bruins that he was still worse than whoever they were gonna replace him with. I remember when Barzal fell in the draft and all of us fans were like "holy shit, the Bruins just gifted us Barzal!" And then Charelli enters the chat... "HOLD MY BEER, NERDS". Fuuuuuu... | ||

I'm impressed a lot with Isles. Given Trotz stays with them, i can totally see them finally getting over the hump and lifting the cup in the next 2-3 years. Varlamov was hot all playoffs and 30 saves in game 7 indicate that well. Bolts in 5 to win the whole thing. PS. Pat Maroon, you cheeky bastard, I see what you did there. | ||

Lightning could basicly get more player during the season and since Kucherov came back, but doesn't count on the salary cap because of games played, they are way over the salary cap with the player they have on the ice (or available). https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2021/06/15/lightning-benefit-from-exploiting-cap-loophole-with-kucherov/45952769/ https://theathletic.com/news/hurricanes-dougie-hamilton-on-lightning-we-lost-to-a-team-18m-over-the-cap/z0dG0hBqAH8n The bolts "comply", it's just a really bad rules that need to be updated. | ||

They would still be a top 4 team in the NHL with a team within the salary cap, it's just a cheap shot to the other team imo. Hope they check the rules and do something about it. | ||

They'll probably need a few of really targetted trades to happen to really shape this lineup. Bolts started freeing their roster by trading/giving up Goodrow and Gourde - this third line did a lot of damage this postseason, so would be interesting to see if they can challenge a threepeat ... | ||

The Oilers are boned in the playoffs until the NHL decides to get serious about its officiating, which they never will because the NHL is an old-boys club and every referee comes from one of 3 rural Canadian farming towns and sees it as his god-given duty to impose his will upon the game of hockey, as did his father, as did his grandfather. Really though, the 'let them play' mentality of refs in the post-season basically puts a guy like McDavid on the same level as whichever 3rd or 4th line scrub wants to take the rope and ride McDavid like a chuckwagon for 60 minutes a night. It's great! Parity! Effectively taking top-end skill out of the game is what the fans want! The Oilers can score really well, and that's about it. They are fast, but not big. They don't defend well enough to win those tight checking, last-mistake-loses type of games that the playoffs inevitably become. It could be a different story if NHL refs decided to call the rulebook, but that's not how it's done. Especially in the playoffs. So it won't be. The Oilers are built great for a videogame, but maybe not for the realities of the NHL. | ||
