This is a crock.

That game winner was a really nice goal.

CrossChecking!!!! I don’t remember any untoward behavior, and whatever it was, it most likely pales in comparison to a bunch of turkeys who have been kicked off in your absence. Welcome back!

That was tough to watch. You know he’s a Pats fan. How could he not be? Good soldier, though.

again,... wow...

Good. We’re tied for most goals allowed in the first period again.

I mentioned him in one of those “off the radar” trade threads what seem like 20 years ago. I liked him then. Not sure about him now. Change is good I guess.

Are you asking us or telling us?

And the more I think about this post, which I agree with, the more it makes me crazy. Do we really want refs making moral judgements on penalties? Ref’s thought process - “Well, that should be a penalty,... but those guys are always *****, so I’m not going to call it.”

Well, we know for a fact that there is some level of bias in the officiating. There are emails that prove the NHL know this as well. Not sure why this is still being argued.

I believe this is true. I just find it curious which teams they decide it’s organic (MFTs) and which teams they don’t. PA said last night that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. In the NHL, sometimes a penalty is just a penalty,... unless it’s not called.

Sobotka was better at getting the puck out of our zone than anyone who has replaced him on that line since.

It will never happen.

This is such a load of schit. There is such ingrained biases in the NHL that even the people involved in them can’t see them. If that was a Tampa player or a Bruin that responded to a hit similar to the one on Jack, the announcers and media would be falating McCabe’s response. ”You just can’t let other teams take liberties... Good on them for taking matters in there own hands and not leaving it up to the refs” We have heard this a million effing times, but when it not a MFT, it’s their fault. Fuhking ridiculous,

Oh, you cagey ol’ fox, you. That’s actually the best case scenario.

Ugh. Now we’re rewriting history.

Nice post. I agree.

Stinky ones. They’re tasty.

That just sounds like irony to me. Not Karma.?

I agree. Certainly not with 1:26 of ice time. A ridiculous move. If you’re going to bring him up for grit, then ***** use him for grit.

There was no penalty called on the play, because, we’ll, it’s Tampa.

Yep. The two previous hits that knocked one player out for the season and concussed the other were “clean hits.”

What are you saying here?

Yep. Our guys need to constantly be reminded that they are pussies.

What was that about Dahlin’s el They should have put him on the ice to start the third. I’m serious.
