There were a lot of missed calls, or just let them play calls last night. The pens had some inadvertent high sticks that could have been called, and Rowney had a pretty clear slash, the Senators had A LOT of interference that wasn't called. But the refs did call probably the weakest one they had on Phaneuf.

I appreciate that, lol. I have to admit though, I'm not a full time Pens fan, they are my Eastern Conference team, but then again, I'm not a homer over the Avs either, I realize they are terrible, and will likely remain terrible. Having Kessel go to the Pens though was a tough pill to swallow.

My God, this guy is making me question my own fandom of the Penguins. For the love of God, please don't view me on the same plane.

Wow, as a Pens fan myself you need to take a chill Roosevelt. Fleury clearly got rattled last game, and while I personally would stick with him, I understand Murray coming in this game. Sullivan will either look like a genius or a fool for this move either way, but Fleury has shown in the past when you crack him, he stays cracked, it's probably better for him at this point to get some rest, and maybe this will charge up the team a little because they played like horse poop in front of him in this series, and really the majority of the last series. My one agreement is that if Fleury hasn't cracked, you could have been looking at the playoff MVP if they'd have won it. Side note, for the love of God Nashville, beat the Ducks.

I'm a Pens fan (Avs first, but they haven't given me anything to cheer about in nearly two decades), so I'll try and curb my homerism, but I just don't understand the hate he gets, or more specifically the whiner label. They even showed a replay last night where there was something like 4 penalties that could have easily been called and he didn't do anything but keep battling for the puck. Maybe when he was younger, I don't know, but it seems that the dude gets worked over and cheap shotted more than anyone else I see with no call.

I'm loving this. Not sure what it is about Anaheim, but I just don't like them. Maybe it's Corey Perry.

I'll never understand what is a penalty, and more importantly what is and what is not goalie interference. After the goalie interference in the Penguins game the other night being called, I can't fathom how Talbot wasn't interfered with in the game-tying goal tonight.

Do we hope for injuries? Somewhat joking.

I must have missed that aspect of it. I didn't hear him laugh afterwards, or maybe I thought it was one of the announcers. My bad.

I agree 100%, but it was asked, and he answered. It just seemed weird overall to me, I was expecting him to laugh something off and name someone like his roommate or something because he snores, or something stupid like that. Then he answered the way he did, and there was no real follow-up to it. Left me a bit stunned as I was listening.

Since it's the off season and there isn't anything else to do but needlessly dissect player quotes and other things into subatomic levels, anyone else catch Boeser on the latest Stand Up and Cheer podcast? He talked about his wrist injury and some other stuff from the season. One thing that I caught, and he didn't elaborate on was they asked who he was going to miss the least, and he said the newly declared Captain and referenced his attitude. Anyone else think it was Pogo that called Boeser out when Berry referenced the "real" leaders taking control of the locker room? Side note, Boeser could put a crackhead to sleep. Great hockey player, not the most energetic speaker.

I think they will have a very difficult time winning back to back. I also think we will be an extremely difficult team to play against next season, I'm thinking along the lines of the Macmillan/Parks senior seasons, my worry next season is offense. I think next year's team steals a few games on grit alone. As much as I like having the amazing blue chippers, I'm a bigger fan of teams that exceed the sum of their parts, which I think next year's team could easily do.

I have to disagree with that assessment. I'm my opinion there was no shoulder first. It appeared principle point of contact was elbow to head. It appeared to me the legal contact was secondary.

How is that not a 5? Someone please explain, anyone else notice it just happened to be the guy that scored two goals that was elbowed high.

They need to blow this team up. Start with Landeskog and Duchene. My favorite team is such a dumpster fire I've had to branch out. Thankfully my second and third favorite teams are well acquainted with Lord Stanley's Cup, but still isn't as good as getting somewhere with your favorites.

You're correct. Just because he's accumulated the credits to graduate doesn't mean you have to leave.. As long as he maintains a full time credit load, usually 12, he's considered a full time student. He can work on a second degree or minor. When I was in college, I had a buddy that played for the basketball team and graduated with a dual major and a minor. Clearly could have graduated earlier with one degree but stayed.

I'm over this call, but how exactly is the comparison inaccurate? The skate at that distance is non-existent, giving the illusion that Hoff's skate is higher, which would correlate pretty closely to what the video is discussing. The boot is likely appearing at least 3 inches more towards offsides than what it truly should be. Meanwhile, the puck is directly on the ice, giving the appearance that Hoff is that much more ahead of the puck.

As an Avs fan, this is where I'm thinking Sakic is leaning. He has to see the potential of the boot coming. Roy was blamed for the terrible play, and after this season it looks like Roy was the reason they were even mediocre.

I'm nearly there with you, I'm at 99.99999% sure he's gone, but there's always a chance.

Like was said before, the longer it takes on Tucker, the better. I would be disappointed as a UND fan only if he left, dude is ready. Not sure what his thoughts on family are, but personally for me, it would mean more to play another year with my brother and make another legit run at a National Championship, can't imagine what something like that would feel like to do with my brother as my defensive pairing. Chills. Unlike a lot of talent that flows through the organization, these two likely bleed green and white more than others. Just my opinion but I wouldn't be shocked at his decision either way.

Really wish I wasn't working until six today, I'd take you up on those.

Not liking the feeling of this. BU goalie playing ridiculously good.

If you're going to sell to an @$$ like that for $5, take the higher road and donate them yourself.

What? I was thinking each team dressed twenty players instead of 18. I realize you were trying to make a joke, I just don't understand it.
