That whole series felt pointless and I couldn't find the holiday spirit for it because they looked like the 7th and 8th best teams in the Eastern Conference bracket and I knew neither would be a factor for the rest of the playoffs. Watching the Bruins now is making me think even less of the Maple Leafs. The series would already be over if the Leafs had advanced. Their ceiling is second round exit if everything goes correctly and if I was them I would start over, but they can't because nobody will take those forward contracts. Speaking of Boston, I feel like I'm going insane on the reviewed Florida goal. What's the problem? Coyle skated into the crease himself and was barely touched and you all know it deep down. It feels like manufactured controversy to deflect from how uneven things are. I have this personal rule where if you get outshot by a hundred I can't feel bad that you lost a hockey game on an iffy call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Something tells me it's not the wisest decision to get yourself suspended for six months for a positive drug test when you're tied for your team's lead in playoff goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addiction sucks. The Avs played better with Val that without, but it's sadly time to move on and hope he finds the help he needs to clean up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Man, the Canucks are a frustrating team to watch sometimes. Go down 2-0 thanks to sloppy, panicky play, scratch & claw back to tie the game, then sit back, play for overtime & immediately give up the losing goal. Did they learn nothing from game 2, where they did the same thing & got the same result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that there was contact on Coyle by Bennett, and the rule is pretty clear. Not trying to argue for a penalty on Bennett, but definitely arguing the should have been disallowed.

I thought that's what I heard during the game. I agree it should have been a penalty, but it doesn't seem to be possible to disallow the goal since a penalty wasn't called. Quote It's where I sit.

I think I heard that as well, and that was the league's explanation for not disallowing the goal. It's dumb, I don't think the prerequisite of a penalty should determine if Coyle was pushed or not pushed into Swayman. Speaking of, I thought the Bruins goal last night was also GI, so what do I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to argue for a penalty on Bennett, but definitely arguing the should have been disallowed. I think, first, Coyle contacts the goaltender himself and then, second, is barely tapped. It's one of those letter of the law versus spirit of the law things and I always side with the spirit of the law because it would've been ultra lame to disallow a goal that probably would've been scored even if Coyle hadn't fallen on him. And I have no dog in this fight really. If it was disallowed I would've said "that's weak as hell, but I guess that's the rule" I guess what I'm saying is it wasn't a bad enough botched call for me to feel like the Bruins got cheated. Congrats on the win last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 That was pretty clutch there for New York. I did not see those three goals coming so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 After the second period, I had already resigned myself to the fact that this thing was going seven. Kreider reeling off a natural hat trick and the Rangers closing out the series was unexpected, to say the least, but I'll gladly take it. On to the conference finals.

And they couldn't even sniff a Stanley Cup Finals appearance - unless you consider getting swept in the conference finals twice in six years to be close. There will be a lot more for us Hurricanes fans to "Cry" about in the next few years as we struggle to contend for a wild card spot. Hope whoever come up with that shirt had fun for two weeks with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I can't believe they're still going. You lost. If it wasn't pathetic before, it definitely is now (although there is something to be said about Islanders fans being happy for a Rangers win) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
