2019 Stanley Cup playoffs

[Rig-Rat]

Damn, I was pulling for Vegas, Man what a spot, I don't care for the Sharks and I want the Avs to blow it. HHmm

So my question is, review of major penalties?? Not the 2 min ones. but a 5 major and a game, should they be review-able?? Essentially cost Vegas the playoffs. Was a hoot for us fans but that wasn't a 5 minute call.

I thought since the Capitals won their division, they'd get home ice advantage, but I see that isn't the case.

No, there are too many reviews already.
It was the VGK’s inability to kill a penalty that cost them.

Why? Who blamed a commentator? Sorry, I don't understand what your trying to say? Not sure if your trying to be funny or need some crayons to explain yourself.. I suspect it's crayons your in need of. Unless of course you have some sort of crush on Cassie? Is that it? Does she haunt your dreams? Wake up shaking and dreaming of a Midget hockey player announcing games when they should still be a intern and running coffee?
Hey man.. different strokes for different folks. Help yourself. No judgment here.

I'd use crayons to draw you a simplified picture, but suspect that you would just want to chew them.

Weak..................

Go to bed, I will give you another shot in the Am....

[HunterDave]

The question that I have now is will the underdog teams that won in the first round continue to impress or was the first round win just a fluke and they’ll **** the bed in the second round? It seems to be the year of the underdog.....in the first round anyway.

I’m going to pick the team that I think will win the series and bet on the other.

I think your on the right track on that one,i was thinking on doing the same.

[does it ALL outdoors]

Vegas lost because they blew a 3-1 series lead, not because of one questionable penalty.

Good riddance to Bettmans baby's

A long battle for sure.....reminds me of my Canucks not to long ago

I'm still bitter this morning about that call.

[Trochu]

I find this amusing. A team is up 3-1 in the series, winning 3-0 in game 7, and the reason they lost it all is because of a "bad call". Maybe they should look in the mirror and won game 5, maybe they should look in the mirror and won game 6, maybe they should be looking at Eakin asking why he felt the need to crosscheck Joe when the puck was 40' away in game 7 with 10 minutes left, maybe they should look in the mirror and not allow a PP goal every 75 seconds. I get it's easier to blame others when you're frustrated, but San Jose didn't come back, win three straight, because of one "bad call". And, lets say I'm wrong, if the reason for losing three straight is because of one bad call, I don't think they deserve to advance anyway. Saw plenty of calls go Vegas' way in the regular season that they weren't complaining those ones.

[Deer Hunter]

Maybe look at it the other way. If the sharks deserved it they wouldn’t have been down 3-0, playing poorly at home in the third period until the refs intervened.

[Talking moose]

About time something went right for the sharks. Worst luck in playoffs history. Worse than Calgary even. Sharks are almost always a top 5 team since it’s inception. Yet fail miserably come playoffs. If ever there was a deserving team, it’s them.

Maybe, if they are playing so poorly though, just kill it off. Scoring 4 on the PP hasn't happened in over 20 years.

Was it such a bad call though? You literally have a guy using the force of his entire body, this wasn't just a little forearm push, to crosscheck a player when the puck is 40' away. Then, when he is off balance and in a vulnerable position, another Vegas player body slams (wasn't a WWE body slam, but body slam none the less) him, knocking him unconscious, leaving a pool of blood on the ice. A 2 minute minor sounds fair for that? How about cross checking, interference, late hit, body slam (has the NHL made that a penalty yet, I know they've suspended guys because of it)....Would you have preferred four 2 minute minors? Eakins and Stastney put the ref in a position they never should have put him in, it was a really dumb play on the players part.

That was an accident. Not a penalty.

[Jamie]

In no way do I "Blame" the refs for the Knights losing that series.
However, they should never be noticed and they blew that call, they opened the door to a massive failure on a call that shouldn't have happened. LV coach says they thought he crossed checked him in the face.
They influenced a game in a negative fashion. They screwed up and they know it.

HOWEVER... I like screw ups. Crap happens. Humans make mistakes. Funny, 50% of the time theses mistakes help you and 50% of the time they hurt you. It makes sports amazing to watch. As far as I am concerned, all replay should be tossed out. Trust the guys on the ice or the field or the diamond.

And I know that 50% of the time I feel robbed and 50% of the time I will feel that I got away with something. I don't care, let the guys play and see where the chips fall.

That screw up last night by the refs allowed us to watch some of the most exciting hockey in history. And all because they were human.

I accidentally crossed checked a co-worked in the hallway this morning, saw him there, brought my hands up, braced my feet, and drove into him. He understands I didn't do it on purpose though.... It definitely wasn't an accident. Did they intend to leave Joe in a crumpled heap on the ice, probably not, but their actions weren't accidental.

I hope you're not under the impression that since it was an "accident", it shouldn't be a penalty. Accidental plays are called all the time.

What a load. Get it right, or the rules become irrelevant.

That was hardly a cross check in the history of memorable cross checks. It was really nothing until Pavelski lost his balance and ended up on his head.

What's a fair call for crosschecking a guy then body slamming him leaving him unconscious with a pool of blood on the ice when the puck is 40' away then?

Maybe, but why did he lose his balance and end up on his head in the first place? He wasn't just skating to the bench and caught an edge.

I suspect you'd feel a bit differently if it was Stone lying there, likely out for the season, and no penalty awarded because the ref deemed it an accident.

Body slamming? Please.

[Skoaltender]

What a terrible call, even a 2 minute crosscheck or rough would be questionable. That reffing crew should not get another game these playoffs.
