The officiating for the Philly/Buffalo game is an absolute joke. Hartnell should have been thrown by now. Every single time the puck is frozen by a goalie, on either side, there are five fights. The officials suck and this game is going to get a lot messier before it gets cleaner.

Apparently the Rob Ray rule is a farce, because there were no ramifications for Hartnell's shirt coming off during his fight with Gaustad. Officials are calling weak penalties on both sides to make up for the fact they are letting the teams beat the shit out of each other after every puck freeze.

i cant believe iam mising it...i dont have the channel

go get em..i see the goalie revolving has started....weak

It was the longest game I've ever watched. I don't understand how when Philly is up 5-3 you could hear a pin drop in that house. I just hope we make a lot more noise in Buffalo. I was really afraid of this game because the first game of the series was pretty uneventful. I'm just glad we got out of it without any injuries.

I agree with this statement, I think the refereeing has gotten progressively worse since the league came out of the lock-out, when there was concrete rules about penalties

now were back to more subjective calls on the refs part and ensuring they even up and make calls based on the situation in the game, ie. have to call a penalty on that team next cause I called 2 in a row on the other team

all it will take is one bad goal and price's ego will be shattered. i wouldn't worry about boston. remember back in '02 when detroit went down 2-0 against vancouver and then lidstrom scored that goal from centre ice? it was all downhill from there.

interesting penalties the canucks are getting... I wasn't aware you can get a penalty for missing your check and hitting the boards...

sometimes the conspiracy theorist deep down inside of me wonders if bettman made the call to have the game called the way that suited his interests.

Dude, if Vancouver makes it to the finals, you're going to have to learn to get used to it. It was always my understanding that penalties are called when there is an infraction of the rules. What I've learned so far from the playoffs this year is that penalties are called when the referees think the game needs to be more exciting.

Lol my living room went something like this:
we decided to make tacos, and when they were ready, we took our first few bites, and we scored.
"GOOD LUCK TACOOOOOOOOOS!"
then my brother ate a cupcake our friend brought over
and we scored.

"GOOD LUCK CUPCAAAAAAKES!!!"

I've never yelled at anything as much as I've yelled at my TV so far this year. Just no fucking continuity at all. The refs have no clue as to what they are doing and they have no accountability for their actions. A referee broke his ankle in the Washington NY game today. I stood up and cheered.

I know the reffing can have you shake your head at times, but these are the very best refs in the world, bar none. And almost every time after I scream at the ref I try to remind myself this is also one of the fastest games in the world and the refs only get 1 look.

Fifthelement

Where the HELL is the on-screen penalty clock? It's been annoying the crap out of me the whole freakin' game :x :x :x

hawks season on the line...
