Pretty brutal calls against the blues. That diving call against Fabbri was a joke.

It's only adding white space.

Right. It's not like your skate on the ice versus off the ice makes any difference, since your body is in the same position which is all that matters.


But your opinion is becoming more of a popular opinion. I'm starting to agree that reviews are not helping in any sport since they still get the call wrong frequently and it just delays the game.

Yea, reviewing offsides has been a massive failure.

What happened tonight was 1999 Brett Hull/Hasek all over again.

Rule will have to be changed because it's bound that a deciding game has a super controversial call based on just the first 3 nights so far.

voted kings was surprised ducks only had 2 votes. even sharks fans cant even vote for their team because well they know chokez gonna chokez happens every year...apparently everyone thinks this is gonna be the year that the caps finally get it together. im not convinced yet, but with flyers courtier out for a bit apparently, im counting this series over already. was curious to hear an opinion or 2 on last nights flyers simmonds pretty much taking himself out of the game with little over 5 minutes left in a 1-0 game seems like the wrong time to take a stand so to speak for teammates or what not but maybe im wrong

Have no problem with the reviews.

Blues goal was offside. Simple as that. Was it close? Sure but so what, offside is offside.

So basically, no one in the US except in St. Louis gets the Blues announcers.
think Rogers has 4 of their own crews working?

1. Ducks/Preds - Romanuk
2. Boltz/Wangs - Cole
3. Kings/Chokez - i forget already
4. Capitals/Flyers - Hughson?

as for the others...

Blues/Ducks - Blues regional
Rag$/Pens - MSG
Isles/Catz - MSG
Stars/Wild - Stars regional?

hopefully they do all of the 2nd round series themselves

A better argument for them being the chokez would be if they are a disgrace of an organization like the forty year old virgins/Vancouver Canucks.
