Is there any doubt that the NHL will give the #1 pick to Montreal?

Apparently there was.

Glad to see Buffalo get it.

I'm shocked the league didn't try and prop up Montreal. Well, Buffalo is a Canadian city any way, right?

Oh Hellz no! You can keep that dump.

Glad to see Buffalo get it. They've been bottom dwellers for so long, it's about time they got a #1 pick. Could you imagine if Edmonton had gotten it ... YET AGAIN?!? I don't like the fact that three Atlantic Division teams were the finalists, but c'est la vie. The Atlantic division was quite bi-polar this year.

@ gary... earlier in the year, it might not have been, but that subtle nudge to Jone's arm/stick threw him off balance, and that was enough. Borderline, and it could've gone either way. Jones played great overall - including a lucky one of the shaft of his stick on Neal in OT. Seems as though the Knights were a little undisciplined - 7 PP for the Sharks, and they got the better of them four-on-four.

Honestly, I hope this fairy tale for Vegas ends soon ... plus, I've been a Sharks fan ever since they entered the league.

That’s the thing....it was borderline and was called a goal on the ice. I think Jones embellished the heck out of gettting ‘hit’....he went the opposite direction that he should of had the player actually ran into him. Yeah his stick was nudged but his arm and stick were also a solid foot outside of the crease.

I mean it really doesn’t matter anyway because both Nashville or the Jets will beat whichever team comes out of this bracket. Your Western conference Stanley cup representatives are either the Jets or Preds.

TAC · « **Reply #1127 on:** April 29, 2018, 08:20:48 AM »

I've seen less than that called back this year. It's in line with what they've been calling.

I don't know if Jones embellished or not. It's hard to judge the speed/force that his stick was pushed.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1128 on:** April 29, 2018, 08:27:09 AM »

I gotta say, while Rask was a bit of a whiny bitch over the blade loss, I do think the NHL might need to think about a change that rule. The goalie is at a pretty big disadvantage. I think they should address it the same way a down player is ruled - don't blow the whistle if there's when there's active offensive pressure, but as soon as it's relieved, blow the whistle.

He's got to make a better effort to be in some kind of position though.

But I’ve also seen way worse than that and the goal still be allowed. I know it’s been an issue for the league and I don’t think it’s going to get any easier for them. It’s a flip of the coin as to ‘how’ they’re gonna rule these things and that’s BS.

I have no dog in the hunt with either of those teams. All I know is I’d be hot if I were a Vegas fan.

I disagree. If Rask just focused on the ongoing play instead of trying to get the refs attention then he could have easily just kicked off the post and made a simple save there. I see what you're saying though, but I have no doubt that if a forward was going 1-on-1 with a D-man and the D-man's blade fell out, allowing the forward to skate by him with ease and score a goal, everyone would just say "tough luck."

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1134 on:** April 29, 2018, 05:07:15 PM »

At least a non-goalie can get to the bench and change. The goalie is fucked until a whistle. That's why I compare it to an injured player that can't get to the bench.

Jarlaxle · « **Reply #1135 on:** April 29, 2018, 09:51:19 PM »

Okay, reading your post again I agree with that. For some reason I took it to mean that if TB had offensive pressure on Rask then the play would be blown down, but I get it now.

Yeah... for real. I'm at a loss for what happened yesterday. Completely blown call by the league.

That said, the Pens weren't playing well enough to win anyway, but still... gotta get this stuff right.

I think the bigger news is that there was a call in a playoff game that went against the Penguins. Glad I was sitting down when I read that!

I would've been okay with that pick and Rasmus Dahlin going to Montreal, because the Montreal media eventually would have forced Bergevin to trade him due to a: "character issues" and b: he doesn't speak French. Bergevin would have then traded him to Detroit for Justin Abdelkader, Jonathan Ericsson and a bag of pucks.

Yeah, there was more than one last night. Hopefully that kills this weird notion the NHL favors the Pens. Their (the NHL's) incompetence applies to all.

In Montreal, by "character issues", they actually mean he doesn't speak French.

Yeah...but they came back from a two goal deficit to win Game 1. Making it 3-2, after being down 3-0, would have made for quite the drama those final 8 minutes or so. It was also another <insert any major league>

review kerfuffle.

The Lighting DOMINATED the 1st period and gave up a goal. 1-1. Deflating.

Braydon Point with his first 4pt game. Great physical play from both sides. I think it’s going to get chippier the next game.
