Tell me if that wasn't an LA King goaltender you wouldn't be fuming.

Perhaps, but I'd be WAY more annoyed with my guys for lazy, sloppy play (kinda like last night against stinking Vancouver).

The Avs got gifted their victory last night.  Refs make an absolutely mindboggling call for what ended up being the GWG - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IK1jOzY98s

Oh, and if you watch the REF, he has his whistle in his mouth the whole fucking time, but doesn't blow it until he sees the puck in the net.  There is 0% chance he could see the puck, and there is no possible explanation to justify this call.

At 0:31 of the video, you can clearly see the linesman signaling no icing.  He then drops his arms and signals it again.  No whistle.  No reason for anyone to stop playing.  That's just lazy/sloppy on the Sens.  Just cover the damn puck.

The beef isn't on the waived off icing.  I don't disagree ... you play to the whistle.  But A) the puck was covered.  B) Eller clearly pushes the goalie's leg/pad away to then be able to put the puck in the net.  On A... why the fuck after 3-4 seconds was the whistle not blown?  The referee (who had the whistle in his mouth) could not have in any conceivable way been able to see the puck from the angle he was at.  B) how is that not goalie interference?  Rule 69:

Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease.

On both counts, Eller interfered with the goalie.

Tell me if that wasn't an LA King goaltender you wouldn't be fuming.
Gift goal, perhaps. However....there's no way to know how the rest of the game would have played out had that not been awarded as a goal. So you can't say just because that ended up being the GWG, that it would have been if it were still 4-2 at that point. And even if you did extrapolate the outcome (for the sake of argument) to be 4-4 and going into OT at that point.....you have NO IDEA who would have won from there. So you can't say it was a GIFT GAME. GTFO.

I don’t recognize this Rangers team, but I hope they’re here to stay. Good lord do they have something against the color yellow? Absolutely dominant this weekend.

I hear ya. It was a bizarre series of events. I think everyone just assumed it was icing. But I think MORE bottom line than the refs messing up is....if you're a goalie and the puck is loose----and you don't hear a whistle----don't assume ANYTHING. Cover that puck and guard it with your life. I'm an Avs fan, so I admit by bias/dog in hunt.....however, I am fair too. If that was Georgiev (or was it Johansson in that game?) I would have felt the same way. Sucks and maybe it was goalie interference......but take ANY chance of there being some hijinx away by encasing that biscuit in leather.....with extreme down pressure......until you know exactly what is happening.

So, the Kings annihilated the Flames today, 8-2.  Honestly didn't expect that against a team that's trying to claw their way to a wild card spot.  What's more impressive is the Kings depth is humming along very nicely even without Fiala.  Five days until the next game though.  It could lead to sloppy play when they get back on it, but with Fiala on IR and Vilardi taking a hard tumble in the 3rd where he didn't finish the game, the team could probably use that rest and hope one or both of them is ready to go on Saturday.

With Viktor Arvidsson's goal today, that puts him at 20 for the year.  Five Kings players now has at least 20 goals this season.  Wow.

So about halfway through the season I was getting a little tired of the Red Wings broadcasts, so I said to myself, why not take advantage of watching an out-of-market team since most the games are on ESPN+. So for a good bit now I've always watched the away broadcasts for Red Wings games.

With that said, for tonight's games against the Blues they went on quite regularly about all the former Blues on the Red Wings roster. And all I was thinking all game was, man, Kev really must be enjoying this!

Edit: And huzzah, one extra meaningless point for Detroit!

Bruins get a power play in the first period and Montgomery puts out his first line.   About 30 seconds later, the Sens get another penalty and now the B's have a 5-on-3 power play.   Montgomery calls a time out; gives his first line a chance to rest, and he - sort of inexplicably - pulls Jake DeBrusk who has been ON FIRE in the last couple games (something like seven points in five games or some shit) and puts in David Krejci who hasn't scored a power play goal in something like 20 games....

Guess who stuffs home the rebound of a Hampus Lindholm shot for a PP goal less than 30 seconds later?  Love it!  Later in the period DeBrusk gets the game winner and the B's slam the door for two periods for the win.

Calling a TO in that instance was interesting. In most cases, I'd call it a desperation move, but he obviously sensed something.


The Sens have played the Bruins tough this year. They have some good young players, as to the Wings.



And, speaking of Hampus Lindholm.... He has been the Bruins best all around d-man I've seen since Ray Bourgue..yeah yeah Chara I know, but Lindholm excels in all three zones. I know McAvoy gets all the attention, but to me, Lindholm has been playing at a Norris trophy clip. Leads the league in +/- with +46. The guy has been making plays all year and is a huge part of what's been going on here this year.


Also..no matter what or how the Bruins finish the regular season, this season rests on that second round matchup with Toronto.

Lindholm is a quiet, extremely solid, all around defensive player.  I'm glad the B's shook off the rust that seemed to be settling in.  Back to solid defense while winning in multiple ways.

I could watch that all day.  Second best Patrick Roy moment in that series.  The best was him giving up 6 goals on 16 shots in Game 7 of that series, and getting serenaded by "Patrick! Patrick!" by Wings fans as he left the ice at Joe Louis Arena.

In 100% agreement on Lindholm; I wrote about getting a jersey and it's probably going to be "27".  Just my kind of player.   Solid, no frills, but indispensible. 

(I'm a fan of Chara, no doubt, but I'd rather have Lindholm than Chara, if given the choice.)

I don't disagree about Toronto; depending on how brutal that series is, though, I don't really want to face the Rangers or the Devils if we're bloodied and bruised.

The only team in the Metro I'd be concerned with is Carolina. And they don't concern me nearly as much as Toronto does.


And I don't think we'll be as bloodied and bruised against Toronto as either the Rangers or Devils will be against Carolina if they get there.

Of course, bruised and bloodied isn't necessarily a bad thing to experience. It's actually getting injured.
I'd hate to lose Bergeron in the first round against the Islanders believe me.

After some springy stuff, the top 4 in the Pacific are back to within 9 points of each other (with Seattle having one game in hand on everyone else).  Big game between Vegas and Edmonton on Saturday.

Tomorrow will be a fun day.

Seattle at Nashville at 11 a.m.  Seattle has 12 points in its last 10 games.  A win will be a huge boon to Nashville's playoff hopes.  Go Preds!

Kings host Winnipeg at 1 p.m.  Kings with 18 points in their last 10 games, while Winnipeg needs a win to stay strong in the first WC spot.

And what should be a great game at 7 p.m. with Vegas at Edmonton.  Both teams are 8-2-0 in their last 10.  I'll probably be rooting for Edmonton since the Kings are 4 points back of Vegas (however, for a change, the Kings have a game in hand).

Well, Kings won nice and decisively over the Jets, which is fine.

Regarding Oilers/Golden Knights, just about the worst case scenario for the Kings happened in that game.  Went to OT and the Golden Knights won.  Would have been pretty happy with a Oilers regulation win on that one to keep the Golden Knights within a more reachable distance for the division lead.  About the only times I can really root for a regulation Oilers win due to the standing positions.

Canes just played a tough one against the Leafs.  They pummelled the Leafs in the first 12 minutes.  Shots were 16-4 at that point of the 1st; tied 16-16 by the end of the period, and the Leafs owned them in the 2nd.  Canes got a late goal right after the Leafs had tied it 3-3, and then shut it down.  Matthews had 15 shots on goal - tied for most ever by a Leaf, and most in the league since Ovi had that many back in 2015.  Koetchetkov (sp??) won that game for them.

Good night last night, the Devils won, hit 100 points for the season, and clinched a playoff spot (though technically that happened during the game due to a loss elsewhere). Still some room for changes over the last few games of the season, but in all likelihood headed for home ice and a first round series against the Rangers. Not exactly looking forward to that the way they, and particularly Shesterkin, have been playing lately.

Good night last night, the Devils won, hit 100 points for the season, and clinched a playoff spot (though technically that happened during the game due to a loss elsewhere). Still some room for changes over the last few games of the season, but in all likelihood headed for home ice and a first round series against the Rangers. Not exactly looking forward to that the way they, and particularly Shesterkin, have been playing lately.
Yeah, that's quite likely be the closest first round series out of the East, IMO.  I'm not taking Tampa for granted by any means, but they have looked rather ordinary (to say the least) lately.  Though, that can often be the scariest team ... coast in to the post-season, then amp it up to fire on all cylinders.  And Vasilevsky is just as (if not more so) likely to be the most threatening goalie to be staring across the ice at.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Tampa came to play last night. Looked like Cooper wanted them to make a statement. Bruins did just enough to hold them off.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
