yeah, it was a dick move by Crosby and bad reffing but lets be real, that kind of comparison is gross.

As another (the other?) Pens fan here, gotta say I didn't feel good about that quick whistle call. BUT dems the breaks. Preds had basically two full periods of opportunities to capitalize and just couldn't find a way.

Does seem ridiculous that Toronto can call em up and blow the horn for an miscalled onside goal from 2 minutes ago (game...3? 4?) and not blow the horn on a puck that clearly wasn't in Murray's control and ended up in the net on a frankly cool and wild diving highlight real quality goal. Oh well.

as i understand it, the argument is that when the whistle blows, people stop playing, and therefore you cannot reconstruct what would have happened had the whistle not blown. as opposed to a belated offside (or goal) review, where a correct call would have ended the play.

that argument didn't really apply to last night's nashville goal in practice and i'd totally be pissed if i were their fan, but . . . so it goes

considering the preds did not otherwise score in the final two games of the series, i don't feel like they were robbed of a title -- but then i suppose i wouldn't

mookieproof, Monday, 12 June 2017 21:01 (seven years ago) link

the whistle logic is sound

At least it didn't happen in a seventh game

Was thinking 'Marian hossas skin condition will free you from the las vegas knights' bc that's the most stupid thing

ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 14:45 (seven years ago) link

i don't doubt that hossa has a skin condition at all, but . . . it's awfully convenient

he's already made $59m of the $63m on his contract; there's obvious incentive to put up with things when yr making $8m or $4m a year, less so for the four remaining years in which he makes $1m per

hawks can put him on long-term IR rather than suffering cap-recapture penalties if he straight-up retired

I can't say anything nice so I'm not saying anything at all
