The NHL is so biased it makes me want to puke. if that was a Bruin or Lightning player that made that hit, they would be touting what a great hockey play it was and that’s just the playoffs,... and blah blah blah,... it’s just unfortunate that he he got hurt. ***** off you disingenuous bunch of sycophants.

My exact thought. Curtis has an agenda.

But because the NHL is stupid, the result matters, and he was injured (maybe. We’ve seen gamesmanship before). So he will probably get a game.

He didn’t skate the length of the ice to hit him. That’s just BS. He skated the length of the ice to stop him from scoring. He didn’t get there in time. He then hit him. There is a difference. If he didn’t get injured we wouldn’t even be talking about this and there wouldn’t even have been a penalty. God bless the NHL.

I really didn’t think that hit was that big of a deal. Just because a guy gets hurt, doesn’t mean that the play was bad. I ***** hate that like everything else in the NHL, the outcome matters more than the intent. If he just got up after that hit and wasn’t injured, would there be this outcry? i guess he should have just let him score and say, “hey buddy, great game.”

Which part? The goal? The hit? If it was a Sabre that made that hit in a playoff game we’d all have tight pants. I ***** love playoff hockey!

Yeah. That’s stupid, because how else is he supposed to chase him down and potentially stop him from that reach around goal? He didn’t get there in time so he hit him. It wasn’t charging. They just wanted him off the ice.

Was it a shoulder to the head. Cuz I thought it was a great hit. Especially down by 2 in game one.

Darren Pang is a great color guy.

Kinda felt like this thread was just getting started.

Oh, brother. I remember when classically great head hits at center ice were legal, too,... until they weren’t.

I'm actually more upset about game 2 of that series. Every single story that Kerry Fraser tells about his life as a ref just screams that he was an egotistical dickwad, completely biased ref that affected the outcomes of games simply because he felt like it. I honestly can't believe some of the stuff he admits to having done. And I still want to know what Bettmen said to him at ice level in that intermission.

Close to where I live, someone told me that you can buy weed from this one Delta gas station. What they should have said is you can buy gas from the Delta head shop. The line was out the door.

No way am I locking this. This is the stuff of SS legend.

Not sure what this means. I was just posting what I thought was an interesting question. I didn’t know it was going to yield some fantastic Taro/ PA cuddle time. (... did PA really say that the goal should not have counted? And in my opinion, Dallas was awarded the cup, they didn’t earn it, and I don’t give a fig about disrespecting them.)

I think he should do it, then make the team sit first row, right behind the benches, so they are forced to see what playoff hockey looks like first hand.😂 So, if not another NHL arena, where will Toronto or Winnipeg play their “home” games? What other options are there? I don’t know enough about NCAA hockey to know if their arenas would be big enough.

Hate to admit it, but I think Mike Babcock is really good during the intermissions.

Dallas, too. Should have mentioned home team, something, something.

I mentioned this in the Blue Jays thread but it got lost. If the Leafs come out of the North, do they play in Buffalo, as well? Precedent has been set and I don’t see Canada opening up any time soon. If not Buffalo, then where? ... how Buffalo would it be if the Leafs went on to win it all and the first Stanley Cup won in Buffalo went to Toronto.

Thought he was sponsered by Warrior.

I am amenable to these terms.

I can hate whomever I want. It’s sports. I don’t even need a reason.

Really? C’mon.

I have said for the last 20+ years that the guy whose job it is to surveil me, well, I just feel sorry for him.
