Bob has been quite good tonight. You hate to see Florida blow a game where he was at a minimum Vas’ equal.
No rant. But am I wrong with the clown shit calls? Also. Saw the puck hit the net. Dumb as shit miss from the refs.
They call this so inconsistently. The one thing they’re consistent about is letting a lot go when the goalie is outside of the crease. But he was in the crease. Wonder if they said because they skater was outside of it. Then again trying to parse NHL decision making is pointless
My dream is a play where a guy gets hit in the head at the blue line, the puck is picked up by the injured players teammate while the player is sprawled out over the blue line and then the team scores with a crazy screen in front of the net. A nice head hit, offsides and interference parlay
Was ready after a period and a half to talk about how hard Florida was making it look for Tampa. I barely saw anything for long stretches down at the end TB was shooting twice. I’m just sick of how tentative that pp looks. All the skill in the world and they slow cycle waiting for an opening and end up trying high difficulty passes (because they know they are good enough to do them) but aren’t applying speed and pressure. Just look at the goal they did score with that insane pass and how on earth can you not create from a power play with that ability. I’d say stay out of the box but the way Tampa sells penalties I’m wondering if Tom Brady has been secretly coming across town to give them pointers
Are panthers fans really bitching about that crosscheck to the mouth? Lest we forget that horrendous interference call at mid ice.
Your anti panther hard on is so weird. just generally Tampa sells calls. not dives but just heavy selling. Being there live and seeing more behind plays of guys throwing up their arms and selling whatever they can. It’s something they apparently do. They didn’t show a replay of the forsling play but it looked live like he was just getting around him and awkward contact. but again never saw replay but wooo boy was it sold. Flying stick and all. Lastly I don’t know the rule book but running at a guy trying to catch a puck out of mid air at center ice seems like something that should be a penalty. Looked dangerous. But maybe by rule it shouldn’t be I don’t know.
-110/-110 in game, -115/-115 live Those odds for this game indicate a heavy favorite but with them pocketing a shit ton of money
Panthers played great first half of the game, were pretty shit 2nd half the goalie interference was a horrible non-call but Christ, shut up
Don’t be weird, I’m rooting for the panthers to win the cup of all teams remaining. I thought the no-goalie interference was a bad decision. But the high stick, while awkward, was still a cross check to the face and the onus is on Forsling there. Easy call.
I hope this is a close series but something tells me the Rangers are about to get exposed and this time by a team who won’t need ref help like last round
