Can Markov play ANY fking worse?? I'm close to Serge-ing my remote control every time he fks up another play
-
Probably the best call I've seen all playoffs....and made by the guy in the neutral zone no less.LOL Lapierre.Good call by the ref. -
subban has looked great out there.massive effort in the first period, lets keep it going instead of playing not to lose like in the earlier games this series
-
holy christ these refs are brutal...on both sides
-
lol now it's back to Halak?? This team is ridiculous.
-
as Zach put it so succinctly one night while we were playing chinese poker "F*ck the guy that invented non-hd tv"

OMG my wife and I have had this conversation more times than I can count. We PAY for goddamn HD, it's a million times better than SD...PUT ON THE HD!My pet peeve? She doesnt watch her shows on HD! She'll just go to basic cable, not caring the picture is 100x better on HD. You would think I could care less, but I just dont understand, so it tilts me. -
Really? The same guy who keeps the league out of cities like Hamilton, yet keeps teams in Phoenix, Nashville, Atlanta, Carolina, etc etc etc??I hate what he's done to hockey.and since he's definitely more of an expert on the subject than I am, I choose to trust him with that one. -
Did Serge lend you his rose coloured glasses that he uses during the regular season or something? They played like shit in the 2nd and 3rd periods of both games 2 and 3.Montreal has been playing really well this series (aside from the first period of the first game and the third period of the last game). -
One would think...somehow this team never has.I don't understand that. If you have no confidence in your goalie, wouldn't you play tighter and better defensively? -
I think it's more of a wakeup call to the team than anything. As I posted though right after game 2, Halak was done - through no fault of his own with anything that happened in game 3, this team just loses confidence in their goaltending at the first sign of any inconsistency. Great teams rally around their goalies in those times, this team is the opposite for some reason.

per tsn, Carey's in tonight.

hem, not even a question anymore
-
funny thing is, when you type something backwards, it kinda makes it look french...lol

nah none of what's happened tonight can be blamed on Halak. They're just a team that loses confidence in their goaltending at the drop of a hat. Price is really not a bad goalie, they've just played like shit in front of him 90% of the time and hung him out to dry. Same deal tonight with Jaro. It's too bad.BTW, were any of the goals on Halak scored up high? -
i'm also offering 7-1 on the habs winning this series (to extend the sergeisms) if anyone's interested
-
mother fker. that was ridiculous. Habs may very well not win another game in this series and after that shitbag display they probably don't deserve to. Thanks for nothing Halak.The tying and winning goals were ordinary to say the least. Washington figured out that you have to go high on him. He's done. Mark it down.
sigh. nice effort boys.

I really don't think the league sits them down to say the rules are changing - I think it's more a case of old school vs new school. Either way, none of these guys want to be "the difference" in any of these games...they just have different ways of showing that. Some let more go than they normally would - others call it a little tighter than normal...who knows why, it's just too bad they aren't all on the same page.

Sure, in slow motion and from 6 different angles it probably did look inadvertant - but moving at warp speed up the ice, the ref has less than 2 seconds to interpret what's going on and what the intentions of the player are and if an advantage has been gained or taken away by the action (all while having to skate himself to keep up with the play). I'll admit, I've been critical of the refs in these playoffs too, but certainly not in the spots where most people seem to be jumping on them (namely the vancouver too many men which was called in a split second by the linesman that was standing right beside the bench).It really is a tough job to do well and I wish every single sportswriter/coach/player/forum poster had to put on the stripes for a single elite-level game before they had the right to be critical of officials. I've only been reffing for 3 years, and at a very low level compared to the speed of NHL hockey and it's absolutely given me a new appreciation for what these guys are up against out there.They're going to miss calls, as any human being would. Things are never going to look as clear cut as when we get to analyze a replay frame by frame from multiple angles. The best they can do is be consistent - a call in the first is a call in overtime, and apply the rules equally to all teams. It's when they deviate from that consistency that I think it's ok to be critical of them.(btw before any forum drama starts, that's not a direct attack on any person or any person's opinion specifically...lol)On the clarkson play it appeared to me that he was basically trying to get out of the way and kinda got tangled up with the flyer player inadvertantly, didn't look intentional to me but that's probably homerism on my part -
If I recall though (I've watched too much freakin hockey in the past 5 days to be 100% sure) didn't McCreary basically go to both benches early on and tell them it was going to be zero tolerance for stick fouls and any shit after the whistle? I didn't see a problem with the call on Clarkson, especially given how tight they had called the rest of the game.it went completely the opposite in the devils/flyers game last night. the officiating was just horrible, especially the call on clarkson that lead to the pp in ot which the flyers scored at the end of. the called everything super tight and i am pretty sure half the stuff wouldnt have been called in the regular season. ruined the game imo -
Knowing the NHL refs, it's probably part of the code. The ones that should be charging they call elbowing, and the ones that should be roughing are called charging to complete the circle. I think Bob Cole had something to do with coming up with this system.Is there somewhere I can see if an "elbow" was ever called against the Avs this season? I've seen elbows thrown where the ref called roughing, but I don't remember seeing an "elbow" penalty all year. -
man I can't stand that guy, but nice pickins BobDaniel Carcillo -
The reffing in these playoffs has been horrid (and no, I'm NOT talking specifically about the habs game last night OR the canucks too many men call, just speaking in general terms)A player coming onto the ice as a substitute player is considered on the ice once both of his skates are on the ice. If he plays the puck or interferes with an opponent while still on the players bench, he shall be penalized under Rule 56 – Interference.
