As bad as the Jets did here, and they did badly, I don’t entirely get it from the Rangers perspective either. Sure, value wise they did pretty good and they didn’t need the #20 pick after making 5 first round picks in the last two drafts but the idea that they’re turning the corner on a rebuild seems crazy before…

OH MY GOD SHE CLAPPED! THINK OF THE OPPONENTS! ETHICS IN GOALSCORING! THEY’RE CELEBRATING! ACT LIKE YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE!!!

I’m sure David Perron will take advantage somehow

*a håland job.

If an 18-year-old says he scored nine times, it means he maaaybe got one handjob.

Hawaii to do list:

I think you mean “the Sharks are pretty, pretty cartilaged”!

The Sharks are in a really bad hole here.  It’s going to take everything in the referee’s power to bail them out the next two games.

Don’t act like you haven’t thrown a pigeon or bicycle kicked a sea gull at the beach 

The angry short man with the mohawk who voted for Brexit. 

I said it was a cross-check initially, that’s 2 minutes.

1) was not a high stick. it was a cross-check at best.

The Eakin hit on Pavs was 2 minutes. You call the play, not the consequences.

It’s the linesmans job to be focused in on the puck ultimately. Refs have to watch entire play and are trained to have their line of sights with small overlaps of areas to maximize visibility. Linesman are there to watch for icings, offsides and break up scrums. Typically they should be watching the puck almost at all…

Just trying to clear the air on the possession rule. The puck glancing off of a Blues player does not nullify the hand pass. Possession and control of the puck is needed by a Blues player is needed to waive the hand pass. 

Man, you guys really will justify any bullshit break won’t you? Just admit it was bullshit, you didn’t deserve to win the game (at least not that way) and move on. I think most fans know that shit like this happens, but flailing around trying to justify it by claiming other calls were missed is just embarrassing.

Hey everyone, Yttrium thinks the goal was legit because ‘the hand pass rule is dumb,’ the refs missed some other calls so fair is fair, and the puck may have touched a Blue.

Does Marc Joanette get his name on the cup if the Sharks win?

The only excuse is this is non-reviewable. Which means we’ll eventually see the San Jose Hand Pass Rule change. That said, not sure how four guys missed that one. No dog in this fight other than love of hockey, and I’m all in the camp of one call doesn’t change the outcome, but when it’s a non-call like this that…

It’s fun that the NHL is the kind of league where that meaningless offside call gets reviewed but there’s no option to give McAvoy a major penalty for trying to decapitate another player.
