The official NHL thread

I wish these refs would cut the Penguins a break.

Hey look, Bylsma finally wised up and benched Fleury, that's all the breaks you get for now.

Fleury is the MVP of any opposing team in the playoffs.

I'm not sure you got my sarcasm there.

Stay the course. Calm. Cool. Collective. Serenity now. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Stay the course.

Two years ago: B's beat Habs in 7th game OT, Julien on verge of losing his job, team goes onto win cup...

This year: B's beat Leafs in 7th game OT, Julien on verge of losing his job...

Though I think the road may be harder this year, if it goes through Pittsburgh, Chicago, or LA.

[WOLF]

Has anyone seen this yet? It's a condensed video of a Leafs fan gathering for game 7 vs the Bruins, and shows their joy as they take 3-1 and 4-1 leads, and their horror as the Leafs unravel.

I particularly enjoyed the guy moaning "how.... how.... how", at the end.

Those Senators played a hell of a game against those refs last night.

Seriously, the NHL is moving dangerously close to NBA style officiating. if they're not already there.

No kidding.

So glad they won. And less than 30 seconds to go when they scored the goal to tie the game! I bet the place was rocking.

[NeverSurrender]

PiceOfMe, I'm disgusted by the reffing in the playoffs.

I grew up in central NY where basketball is king and loved the NBA. I no longer watch it because of the refs. If I didn't love the Islanders as much as i do, no way i would support this garbage.

[John Simon Ritchie]

Always happy when the Rags and Shittsburgh lose. Especially the way the Pens did.

Me too. There seems to be no consistency, and you can blatantly tell which teams they favour.

[John Simon Ritchie]

God...I hope The Red Wings defeat Chicago just to hear that bandwagon jumper, Anne_Thrax cry about it.

[Facedown]

Hmmm. No team has ever come back from an 0-2 deficit two series in a row.
Go B's.

[Morning Already?]

Gleefully went sailing over my head, I must confess... HAHAHAHA...

The Blackhawks are finding out the hard way they're going to have to play these games.

Local radio already declaring the Hawks dead. My God is this town lousy with doom and gloom. Is everyone that negative in other towns?

"It's over!"

"Rebuild!"

"Trade Toews and Kane!"

I heard that in a span of 6 minutes this morning.

This is from a few years ago, when the Habs were trailing the Caps 3-1 in their opening round series. Ironically the Habs came back to win and made it all the way to the semis that year:

This is actually a tame call that I found without looking too hard...

Were you ever in Boston before 2001?

Ridiculous comments. They are down 2-1 in a series.

I would happily take Toews and Kane off your hands!

[NeverSurrender]

Alice Manson, come tell us some more about how the refs don't favor the Pens.

[AliceManson]

Alice Manson, come tell us some more about how the refs don't favor the Pens.

If that was what really got under your skin, you would be mad as hell at the the real darlings of the NHL the Red Wings. The way you cry like a bitch about the refs, I don't know why you even bother watching professional sports.

Thank you for finally not denying it.

I'm a fairly regular caller into Blake Price's mid day show and at times, the Moj at night.

Price is a stooge while Moj seems like some random booze hound that was given the mic. Good entertainment nonetheless.

And yes, Vancouver radio is filled with doom and gloom. And yes, I'm one of the "we need to trade the whole team!" types.

RIP to the Pauser!

[NeverSurrender]

Lmao ass off at the early whistle in the Sharks - Kings game followed by 3 makeup calls.

These refs are making refs in the other pro sports look impressive in comparison.

Alan Vignault-shitcanned this afternoon.

[Gibsonite]

Did they say anything when they're going to fire the idiot GM and send a dozen or so of their whiney pussy players packing?

[WOLF]

Alan Vignault-shitcanned this afternoon.

He'll have his choice of job. The guy's a good coach. It's just easier to fire one coach than 25 players.

Who was it that traded Hogdson for Kassian again? How about the Edler contract? Jason Garrison?
