RichieNextel305 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Am I tripping balls but did the Panthers change their camera angle? I feel like there and in Calgary are always closest to the ice. Now it seems normal. Again, means nothing. Just want to know if I’m hallucinating or not. Edited April 17 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Detroit forces OT with 5 seconds left to eliminate the Flyers. Does Torts see the scoreboard before pulling the goalie with 5 minutrs left in a tie game to give the Caps the win and eliminate the Wings?

I thought we'd seen the worst of him, but this one takes that cake. Credit Kelly Sutherland for personally eliminating the Flyers. ...Lost the puck in the air and blew the whistle!!! LOL (....puck goes in the net....NO GOAL!) Watch this shit: Way to go Kelly! The NHL will certainly get him to ref all our games for that one!!

What a dumb tie breaker. In a league where they give loser points in OT, it should strictly be wins. This just seems inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably said it a zillion times, but I hope they get rid of fucking regular season OT and go back to the original setup with ties being one point. That whole "participation trophy" bullshit is wearing on me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Only in the NHL can you lose more games than you win and make the playoffs. lol The loser point can really make a lot of teams look better than they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL will certainly get him to ref all our games for that one!! I'm not a fan of Kelly Sutherland, however, that was by the book call. A referee is supposed to blow the whistle if they lose sight of the puck. Lindgren is acting like he had it trapped. I don't know what else the ref is supposed to do there, if they can't see the puck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happens more in the NHL because you can get rewarded for losing, and it makes a handful of teams more competitive and 'in the race' than really should be.

Two points for a win, one each for a tie, go home after 5 minutes of four on four and call it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted Kelly is on the ice at a different angle, but that's just a terrible call. The "dead puck" if it hits a player rule??? Sometimes I think they make this shit up as they go along. I feel bad for Torts, I guess. That's a shitty way to blow a spot in the playoffs. I mean, Detroit won, and they would've been eliminated anyway. But it just seems to always be Kelly Sutherland, doesn't it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Boston in that upper tier of teams in the East along with NYR/CAR/FLA. It's only all the loser points that puts them there. To me they're clearly more of a 2nd tier team alongside TOR/TBL. Which is why I think the Leafs should legitimately have a decent shot of eliminating them, despite all their first round choke jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Boston is definitely a step or two down from what they were last season. They are still really good, though. I'd put those three teams mentioned above them too, but they are legit contenders even if there are more chinks in the armor this year than that ultimate season they had prior. This is definitely Toronto's best chance at beating them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still wild to me that if the Flyers knew of Detroit's late game heroics and that they were already eliminated, they likely wouldn't have bothered with pulling the goalie and if they went on to beat Washington in OT/SO, we'd be facing Detroit this weekend. Strange turn of events, and it came down to the slimmest of margins. Sucks for the Wings fans but that's how she goes sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Amazing how one bad call can even affect another team. So Sutherland fucked the Wings too, I suppose! LOL See? It's not always just us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
