So many elite hockey fans in this group

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

I would absolutely not do that. I've been slashed before and I don't react like a psycho that turns his stick into a weapon.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

:lol that's why this thread is awesome :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

I’m all for the sport growing in any way. If Nashville is packing their arena with new fans, I would think that would be a big win. Even if that fan base is still learning the particulars of the game.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Yep. Agreed.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

OK, here I come to complain about the DoPS again. The inconsistency is troubling.

Landeskog gets 4 games for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE6C9RGLUHg

Kane doesn't even get a DoPS call for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sg5TDTTyY

I'm not really seeing much of a difference, other than Landy being a "repeat offender". Which, ok, but Kane doesn't even get a call?

Not trying to be a homer here. I agree that Landeskog should have received supplemental discipline for his cross-check. I just don't like that the calls are so arbitrarily treated. I know, beating a dead horse and preaching to the choir. Just bugs me.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

I don't complete disagree, but I do think Landeskogs was much more forceful. Should the DoPS have made at least a phone call, yes, but I don't think they're of the same caliber.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Probably, yes. It doesn't help that Landy had Tkachuk pushed up against the back of the net when he did it, whereas Kane did it on open ice where Fiala didn't absorb as much of the blow.

But yeah, FOUR games versus not even a call is quite the discrepancy.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

So far the goal scorers for the Kings tonight are

Gaborik
Brodzinki
Jokinen

Take 'em where we can get 'em.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

I do think 4 is excessive especially where Paquette just got 1 for boarding Krug.

I’m probably biased but I thought board was a point of emphasis. Paquette clearly had time to let up and didn’t. So 4 for checking like that vs 1 for boarding isn’t consistent (preaching to the choir I know).

Whenever you think your team is bad, just remember the Oilers. Nothing but a tire fire. Mond boggling that they can be this bad all. the. time.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Hey now, they almost salvaged at least a point until Russell decided he wanted another goal

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

One time I'm gonna have to disagree with you Matty.

Landy cross checked him once which then had him pinned against the net and off balance and he then even more violently cross-checked the same guy this time in the throat/face. Was Kane's nasty? Absolutely and he deserved SOMETHING from the DoPS, even if it's just a fine. He deserved to be on the "repeat offender" list as a result of this, but Landy's was absolutely worse.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Didn't see this :lol

Yeah we're back on the same page.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

So, I haven’t been around the last week or so really, but I just did a back read and would like to sum up the last couple pages in four key points that show that some things in the NHL thread never change.

1. Jamie still not understanding that his Hawks bias and man-crush on Patrick Kane are both real and effect how he views the sport.

2. H2P is back and still elite, way more elite than the rest of us.

3. Matty is still disappointed in the DoPS.

4. The Oilers are still terrible.

Love you guys!

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Granted, they made a helluva comeback in the 2nd and 3rd but they were lucky to not be down 5 after the 1st.


.....and what an 'Olier' way to blow it at the end there :BANG

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Accurate. As for things that HAVE changed... I've actually been reasonably impressed with Tyson Barrie's play of late. He's been OK in his own end. But that's more a change in his play than in my way of thinking, I guess. Basically, if you are a defenseman that plays good defense, I will like you (ahem PK Subban).

So yeah... I guess nothing has changed for me.

Love you too, babe.

Also, I'm not usually one to complain about the refs, but somehow THIS was a penalty shot yesterday:

And yet this was a no-call:

what.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Incredible back-check there from Kane on the first one, smart not to get the sick up by the hands. That makes no sense, it should have definitely been the reverse.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Crawford to IR.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Requirement for a penalty shot is that the player's forward motion must be impeded while on a breakaway from a trailing player. No way Kane did that. Bad call. I'm just surprised to see him backchecking. ;)

2nd vid should have been hooking, no penalty shot.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Right! My exact thoughts.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Evander Kane is “a fucking joke” and “such a piece of shit”

—Bryan Rust from the penalty box lololol

Would love it if this team could win a damn game. Saw the Simmer fight.

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

Flyers definitely got a chance against this team. Although, Marchy and Backes are back so they would have had a better chance last week.

Simmons landed a few good punches. Miller barely made a scratch.

That’s a rough goal to give up. Can’t let one in there if your the Flyers

Glad I'm not even watching this game (at work).

Re: The NHL Thread (Penns are garage league champs)
 

how that was goalie interference, I have no idea.

Garage league.
