I didn't catch the play, but Laughton was carried off on a stretcher. Really hope he's alright, sounds like it was an ugly collision with the boards.

It was pretty awkward. Hit the back of his head pretty hard. I would guess concussion.

I don't understand what they're looking at. They already decided it was no goal. Are coaches allowed to challenge everything now?

I'm pretty sure the refs just humored Florida by letting them waste their challenge on something they couldn't even challenge. Wtf.

Wouldn't it be nice if the ref would communicate clearly with the fans?


What. The. . Does. The. Bolded. Mean?

 

(viii) The video review process shall be permitted to assist the Referees in
determining the legitimacy of all potential goals (e.g. to ensure they
are “good hockey goals”). For example (but not limited to), pucks that
enter the net by going through the net meshing, pucks that enter the
net from underneath the net frame, pucks that hit the spectator
netting prior to being directed immediately into the goal, pucks that
enter the net undetected by the Referee, etc. This would also include
situations whereby the Referee stops play or is in the process of
stopping the play because he has lost sight of the puck and it is
subsequently determined by video review that the puck crosses (or
has crossed) the goal line and enters the net as the culmination of a
continuous play where the result was unaffected by the whistle (i.e.,
the timing of the whistle was irrelevant to the puck entering the net at
the end of a continuous play
).

The refs didn't know themselves. They're making a mockery of this game. They kept their timeout. 

so feelings > health. Got it

 

In the meantime, Abdelkader still never got a suspension.

Best guess is that on a play that the ref loses sight of the puck AFTER the last contact of the puck w/ a force (or perhaps any "thing"?) and the puck subsequently ends up in the net it "could" be a good goal. :unsure:

I'm fighting a supreme inner conflict. I hate Dallas, I still haven't gotten over '99, and the thought of them getting another championship makes me somewhat ill. However, I really want the closest approximation of fire wagon hockey we have to be a huge success so maybe, just maybe, teams realize offense, speed, and aggressiveness can win too and we get some better hockey as a result.

Shaw gets a one game suspension for using a homophobic slur.

He deserved it.

 

Is anyone else tired of this "just the one guy" system being employed by the league/refs this postseason? I get why they do it, but it's such an extremely arbitrary way to potentially decide games, especially ones this important. LA and SJ were playing a great, tightly contested game, regular scrum ensues, Carter does absolutely nothing out of the ordinary in the scrum, and the ref does his "just the one" thing and awards SJ a PP. They score of course, grab the lead and all the momentum, and now it's 2-0.

 

I know, "LA should stop them from scoring on the PP." No. They shouldn't have been put in that position by an arbitrary, undeserved call. The referee basically flipping a coin in his head probably decides the outcome in this game. Bleh.

Average goals per game in the regular season: 5.42

Average goals in the postseason up to this point: 4.82

Know what will drive up viewers and fans on a boring product? Ads, ticket pricing increases, challenges, and, wait for it....lockouts!!
