You should start watching hockey. It’s great!

Cross-check to the head and he didn’t have the puck. Not incidental contact at all. Doesn’t matter if there was no intent. Also, Crosby gets superstar treatment and deservedly so. The NHL is rightly trying to protect their best players. If it happened to Ovi or McDavid it would have been called the same.

This. Not sure how the officials can justify calling something in OT that is not called during the first 3 periods. It’s usually the other way around, as it should be.

Jesus Christ. What must it be like to be a visible minority living in the United States? I can’t even begin to imagine.

I wonder that as well. I don’t buy into the conspiracy theory though. I just think that the referees engaged Suck Mode last night and we are all poorer for it.  

The refs really put their stamp on the game last night. Foul trouble because of questionable calls ensured that neither team could play their best 5 with any consistency in the 2nd half. That and the constant whistles robbed the game of any flow. There is nothing that I hate more than poor officiating - they ruined…

Do you think that the punishment fits the crime? Do you really feel that this was a fair result? I think that people here are not questioning whether the rules were broken, but whether the rules themselves help the game. It is also quite ridiculous that members of the general public can function as de-facto…

you’re

now your splitting hairs.

wouldn’t it be better to try and ensure that there are no idiots on a jury? I don’t know how that happens, but that might be a start. And I know, pipe dream.

I just left a comment about Survivor Type, you beat me to it. Great story and great collection.

check out Stephen King’s short story “Survivor Type” from his collection of short stories “Skeleton Crew”.

and cheerleaders. Don’t forget the cheerleaders.

How about Nevada? Just for Vegas

The push caused him to, as you so eloquently put it, “flail like an idiot”. You should watch the video again. At least that’s how I see it.

Always action flick trailer truthers....

I know SO many versions of this guy. Most are harmless, hilarious and glorious. “PITTER PATTER, LET’S GET AT ‘ER!” is a familiar refrain around these parts.

hi Giri,

The fact that Nyquist SPEARED HIM IN THE FACE should dictate a minimum 10 game suspension. Unfortunately, he will probably get 6 games max.
