NHL 2013

[pcr3]

My heart cant take that much excitement.
Fucking unbelievable.

I went to the scotch early. Unreal game.

[DoW]

I turned it off at 4-1.  seems like the bruins just won the stanley cup around these parts.  I went to go make plans for the parade but realized the 2nd round hasn;t started yet.
hockey playoffs take too long for my attention span.  wake me up in July for game 1 of the Stanley Cup.

hockey playoffs take too long for my sanity

Bruins should have had a Delay of Game penalty when the fans were throwing shit on the ice at 50 seconds to go.

Bruins should have had another Delay of Game penalty when Marchand threw a water bottle on the ice at the opening draw of overtime.

Those are not "judgement call" penalties, they are clearly defined rules that the refs ignored.

I am simply devastated, but kind of used to losing as a Leafs fan for the past decade.

One of the most incosistently reffed games I've ever seen in the playoffs.
Don't these playoff refs make serious bank, not to mention there are 4 officials on the ice, how do you miss this shit?
May not have changed the outcome but it's kind of embarrassing for the league imo.

The caps mediocre team will be exposed next year when the divisions are realigned.  We've had a false sense of talent for the last half-decade due to the poor competition in the worst division in hockey.  They won't have that luxury next year.  People are calling for McPhee's head today on the talk radio......

Fuck, this is such a penalty.

[sls.stormyrider]

As a Bruins fan, I can agree that the reffing sucked last night.  Regardless, you're not going to get those calls at that point in the game.  And a Toronto fan whining about the reffing last night is pretty hilarious.  The Leafs were the beneficiaries of some terrible calls that led to some key goals throughout the series.  Exhibit A as to why karma will not get those delay calls for you:

Chara's stick comes up and knocks Lupul's stick up around his head!

The puck is up ice, what is Chara doing knocking his stick around?  Comparing that to stopping play by throwing a water bottle on the ice is a very big stretch.

Just to set the record straight, I am an Oilers fan, not a Leafs fan.  I usually cheer for the Canadian team in these playoff situations as we only have a handful of teams in there.

He is stick checking him.  And then Lupul hits himself in the head with his own stick and falls like he was just shot.  That is an unsportsmanlike on Lupul (or a simple no call), not a high stick on Chara.

You can't complain about non calls in playoff hockey, as there are hundreds during each game. Bad calls on the other hand deserve plenty of scrutiny.

Fuck Marchand and fuck the Bruins. Go Rangers.
