[Sosa21MVP]

3-1 Kings!!!

Reading Canucks forums are fun right now. Part of me feels a little bad for them because they remind me of being a Cub fans but I hate their team so much.

[sneakypower]

man, Henrik Sedin keeps aimlessly pacing back and forth behind the net, no doubt looking for Daniel out there

[El Duderino]

dagger.

[sneakypower]

love that sour grapes cross-check after the goal; so perfectly Vancouver

[UMFan83]

pretty glad the Hawks didnt end up getting matched up with the Kings.

 

How many years of playoff choking until Vancouver changes up the core of their team? I'm not saying this series is over but if they lose, it's so deflating to get 110+ points annually and fall short and in many cases fall way short. The team is really good but there's just something there keeping them from getting it done when it counts. Yes they made it to game 7 of the SCF last year, but they were an accurate Patrick Sharp tap in from blowing a 3-0 lead and losing in the first round last year.

Lol vancouver.

Danielle is out for at least games 3 and 4 and probably the series.

 

I don't feel bad about this at all.

[sneakypower]

if the Kings take the series, they should really send Keith a fruit basket or something

[kujay]

No doubt. Haven't watched the games closely enough to know if he's the difference, but just by virtue of how bad the PP has been I'd say it's a big factor.

might be some suspensions coming from this Rags-Sens game, Carkner sucker-punched Boyle about seven times before Dubinsky could jump in (laughably earning him a game ban) and Hagelin got a major for elbow to Alfredsson's head in the corner

 

lots of dirty play to go around so far

Can somebody explain when exactly a four on four happens with two penalties at the same time? There were two instances during the Sharks-Blues game today with penalties at the same time and one was a four on four and the other a five on five. The first was slashing on one player and a cross check on the other and the second set were a pair of two minute roughing penalties during a fight.

[El Duderino]

man, that due Boyle was fighting had the biggest friggin nose I've ever seen.

 

big time fisticuffs going on in sharks-blues, lol, everyone is fighting

I thought it was called correctly. Dubinsky was clearly a 3rd man in, which is a game misconduct. Carkner kept throwing punches after Boyle turtled, also a game misconduct. Carkner got the only fighting major and Dubinsky and Carkner got matching minors. Nothing really laughable about how it was called.

Honestly I think it is up to the Referee. I am not sure if there is a set guideline. I do know that for along time it used to be 4 on 4 most of the time. Edmonton in the 80s would intentionally do things to get matching penalties because they were so sick 4 on 4, so many refs started to just leave it 5 on 5. Or the NHL told refs to. Anyway 10 yrs ago when scoring was way down one thing that the NHL decided to pressure Refs into calling more 4 on 4s.

I'm not sure how you can be a third man in when there wasn't a second man in. Dubinsky got penalized for preventing Boyle from getting a concussion and it's stupid. MacLean dressed Carkner just to have him assault Boyle, which is stupid. There is zero reason that should've been called the way it was.

 

Carkner should be done for the playoffs. For one, he sucks and has no use to a roster except to do what he did; secondly what he did was just completely detestable. Hagelin should also get a game, but nothing more IMO.

 

Anyway, going to game 4 in LA and I literally (correctly using literally) could not be more excited.

The Sharks were being dirty dickbags the whole game. Good to see them get their asses handed to them at the end.

Polak beat the [expletive] out of someone after the whistle. Braun I think. Just pummeled him.

[sneakypower]

to nobody's surprise, Don Cherry was being a gaping [expletive] about the Carkner idiocy, too; commending him for what he did, rationalizing that it protected Karlsson, who then proceeded to get pounded on consistently by the Rangers players most of the game thereafter, anyway

 

we can probably expect Konopka or whoever to do something idiotic like slash Hagelin in the head next game

[UMFan83]

So the only series that are at 2-0 are ones in which the road team won the first 2 games (Kings-Canucks, Flyers-Pens)

Yeah, it was Braun. He's big dude too.

The last punch he threw as they were going down was a knockout punch. Braun was lucky that thing didn't connect.

Thanks for the info.
