TorinK92 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Putting this here for those who didn't see it. ...yeah.Yeah, get used to that when you play in Montreal. As a Sens fan, that's creepily déjà vu to the Silfverberg incident in 2013.I hope that shows some GMs that the goaltender interference call should be reviewable, who the hell came up with the idea that it shouldn't anyway?

kevsim1 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So that`s home teams 8-0 in the west and 4-5 in the east, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not a good start for Fluery, especially given the fact he's been awful on the road the last 2 years in the playoffs.

TalktoChuck Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Two minutes into the game and the Avs and Wild are already getting chippy. I love it.This new conference alignment is weird and messy, but I love the divisional playoff match ups that they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Putting this here for those who didn't see it. ...yeah.So flopping has made its way to hockey now. For shame.And by the way, Jim Hughson is so freaking blatant with his tone-of-voice of wanting the only Canadian team in the playoffs to win.

Ah, you people reap what you sow with your "trololol playoffs have more teams from California than Canada" garbage. Just be glad the only team left isn't Vancouver or he'd really be pouring it on. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I already used my quota of bitching about announcer biases when I brought up the Glenn Healy/ticket price nonsense. Besides, I've listened to thousands of games that Jim Hughson has called (nevermind the fact that most were video game games) and you could do far worse than him. Besides, with respect to that video, I feel like it tells me all I need to know that the Canadian broadcast was speaking so openly about how the Lightning got screwed, but that's ancient history by this point. Bad calls happen, and when thinking about it I have much more of a problem with the non-reviewable part than the actual call; referees make mistakes at times because the action is ridiculously fast. The fact that the referee is French Canadian (intrepid research, conspiracy theory guys; never would've guessed) is completely non-sequitir.I have no hope of the Lightning winning this series anymore, so all I'll be rooting for at this point is that there will be 60 more minutes on Friday night. Overall, the franchise has greatly overachieved relative to expectations this year because no one on the planet would've penciled in that team for a home-ice playoff spot in September, yada yada, but, dammit, don't do all of this and then have a goose egg in the playoff win column. Nothing would make the season feel like a bigger waste than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This game should be 3-0 Wild, at least. Sloppy passes/puck handling coupled with bad defense from the Avs. Luckily Varly is playing great tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 The fact that the referee is French Canadian (intrepid research, conspiracy theory guys; never would've guessed) is completely non-sequitir. Doan says he was trying to calm down goaltender Curtis Joseph, who was upset that a penalty hadn't been called in a game against the Canadiens, when linesmen Michel Cormier though he heard the Phoenix Coyotes captain utter a slur against Francophones. As an enraged Joseph hovered around centre ice, Doan says he skated over to him and yelled: "Four French referees in Montreal, Cuje, figure it out." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I know we're talking GDNHL here and everything but I would have a really hard time figuring a referee would be willing to compromise his integrity because of who the home team was in last night's situation. Three weeks ago the Habs and Lightning were playing in Tampa and Teddy Purcell had a goal (wrongly) annulled on what was also a phantom goalie interference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3jSEkfL4RoLots of more people out there subscribe to the theory that Carey Price just really sells goalie interference very well. I'm more apt to believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 It's only French-Canadian officials who are singled out for hometown bias because it's so easy to pick their names out. No one ever talks about Crystal Lake native Andy McElman being in the tank for the Blackhawks, first of all because he probably isn't, but more importantly because ascertaining his hometown would require more legwork than "hey, French name." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Cooke from his days in Vancouver, he's always been this way. He has a history, and the commentator even mentioned the play being typical of Cooke's career.
