Jiji Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well, there was one penalty called all game, so you'd have to be pretty good to 1 for 1. I watched the condensed highlights and some of those hits were definitely either boarding or charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeFnMachine Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I hate excuses, but if any were to be made, it would be that the Isles lost Hamonic the second to last game of the season, then lost Visnovsky, followed by de Haan. That's 3 of their regular D-Men down. How do you compensate for that? And yeah, the refs totally swallowed their whistles in Game 7 and pretty much let Ovie do whatever the hell he wanted all series long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It appears Rangers/Caps will start with Thursday/Saturday as the Eric Clapton concert scheduled for Sat at MSG has been moved to Sunday No official word yet though. Of course - the only reason they can even think about starting Thursday is because the NFL Draft is no longer in NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Wait, so isn't every Kronwall hit charging then? That's no worse than any of his big hits in that situation. I call bullshit on their explanation. He jumps a lot. So does the majority of big hitters in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Well, this is awkward for a great number of conspiracy theorists everywhere: http://awfulannouncing.com/2015/all-canadian-series-among-the-ratings-highlights-for-nhl-on-nbcnbcsn.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The difference is that he extended his arm this time. Not even close to the worst hit in this series but not a huge surprise he got suspended. I mean it's not like he's Evgeni Malkin in the Cup Finals committing an automatic suspension penalty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Amazing Tampa win a series with Stamkos playing that poorly. Strange series. Detroit really dominated most of game 7 and lose, but Tampa totally dominated game 1 and lost. A lot of the middle just blurred together for me to be honest. Highlight of the game was Mrazek waving off that goal on Mrazek. Calm, cool. Like a boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Note: I have no problem with the suspension but it sucks. Yeah, I'm sure we won't hear about this for the next five years or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa is/was the better team. No complaints here. This wasn't the NHL breaking their own rules so Mario's team wouldn't be down a superstar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I can't even stress how lucky I think the Canucks and Flames were to draw each other since it guaranteed one of the three weakest teams in the playoffs (other obviously being PIttsburgh) got to move on. Anyway, this is all part of the Media Narrative Coach of the Year Bob Hartley's plan or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Pretty much. The Canucks and Flames were so much weaker than the other teams in the west. I'm not a big fan of the east still and I think Vancouver might've beaten a team or two over there but your point is still really solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
