He’s sounding kind of tired tonight

I liked “Dry-Cycle”, it’s like he lost his mind for a few seconds.

Lazar scores from the blue paint.  That should be a lesson for the other guys, shouldn't it?

Takes some courage to hang out there.

Which of course is not how the ref sees the game. Sorry if that's "fansplaining" lol.

Sure, but they call stuff that looks like trips when they're not trips routinely too, so it would have been a big miss if it was indeed a trip, as the fall was integral to the play. "not how refs see the game" isn't compelling in any context when we're talking about the play with this characteristic, the way it would be if we were talking about things like missed offside. Again, I am not positive it was a trip, which is why I'm not railing on your poor zebras.

Either way, fans post with highly varying levels of accuracy AND emotion on literally every topic related to hockey in existence on this board, and it really does appear condescending and pedantic that you choose the gameday thread fan's view of officiating as the thing whose every single comment you will pick apart night after night

Speaking of pedantic. All those words to counter the idea that the ref doesn't see the game in super slo motion.

If I wanted to hear bozo analysis I'd go sit in the 300s. I except more out of this board than "The refs suck!" and "We can't catch a break. That shoulda been a penalty.

The refs inhale profusely.  We lack good fortune.  Was that an infraction?
