C'Mon Stanley Cup Playoffs

[mandy200587]

I'm so happy the preds won, well worth staying up late for. Now bring on Tuesday

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I was totally afraid the preds were going to lose the series. It was just then I remembered the Ducks coach is Bruce Boudreau. Or should I say was?

Oh baby I'm ready for 8pm ...


LET'S GO PENS!!!!

Sharks up 2-0.

 

[minniecarousel]

Yeah - Sharks won 2 home hames! It's been a rough year on home ice, but I'm hoping that jinx is over. On to Nashville!

 

[mandy200587]

Won both home games at Nashville, but jesus what is sleep right now...

Go Preds, what a game! With three over times and the late start time, I am just now recovering. It was close to 2am when we got home from the game this morning.

You can sleep when the playoffs are over."

Sharks got screwed. That was a fricking GOAL.

Blues blew a golden opportunity last night

It is easy to get the puck in the goal when you hold it in your hand while pushing the goalie out if the way first. Good call.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

You think that goal was disallowed because it went in off his hand? Wow - they disallowed the goal because of the goalie contact. Yeah - the contact that happened when he was pushed into Rinne by Gaustad. It was a good goal. Period.

No, the goal was off his stick after he dropped the puck. But that was after he had interfered with Rinne by taking him out of the goal and preventing him from defending the goal. Toronto looked at that one for a long time and agreed - no goal.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

He didn't interfere with Rinne on his own. He was crosschecked into him by Gaustad. Stop being such a homer. Toronto can eat it. They make horrible calls all the time and this one was a bad one. You refuse to see it without bias because it went your way. I get it.

Further upthread I said I'd make my prediction for the Finals when the first round was complete. I was away and didn't get a chance to respond, so this is a little late. I'm hoping for an Islanders vs. Predators final. Doesn't look too good for the Islanders right now, but I can still hope.

I'm sure I'm the only person who wishes for this matchup.

There's an explanation from Kerry Frazier here on that disallowed goal http://www.tsn.ca/c-mon-ref-officials-got-no-goal-call-against-sharks-right-1.485029

Nobody really understands the rule. Different commentators have come to different conclusions about whether or not the goal should have counted.

In any case, there was no penalty for cross-checking or tripping Pavelski on that play - the two actions that led to his loss of control. At another time a Predators player covered up the puck in the crease. That should have been a penalty shot.

It was a poorly officiated game in any case.

The difference in your links are they are not from a former referee who broke the call down very well.

This guy?

This basically a situation where anyone rooting for the team that gets called for interference will be peeved. It's a subjective call, and one where worse contact has resulted in a goal. And even if the interference is ruled, where's the penalty for the cross-check and/or trip?

 

[bcla]

Sharks better not blow this lead.

Sharks actually winning at home. Seems kind of strange this year when they've been road warriors.
