See, this is the stuff that McClure and Fels (plus 10 foot rambling pizza delivery teacher) strongly disapprove of...

I look forward to the first hour of Bernstein and Goff bring devoted to tonight's Bulls loss.

THAT MEANS THE WORST THING YOU CAN THINK OF IS BEING SOMEONE'S SISTER.

At worst Minnesota only gets a point closer as they beat the Shark.

They cut into the game on NHL Network.

I wish they would not show the real time scores when they show the cut in 'live' game which is really like 2 min behind real time.

It's 4-3 and hawks pull the goalie and all the drama is killed when the show the 4-4 box score in the right hand bottom corner. It's still 4-3 on the 'live' feed!

Hope they show some of the OT. I just need to ignore both the bottom score tickers.

The off sides things has the feel of using video to call balls and strikes.

Too bad Darling gets stuck with the loss when Crow wets the bed.

Really cool how you can stand in the paint while bumping and screening for a good five seconds and it's okay.

Was it really offsides? Eddie O said no, but Pat said yes. I thought it was but what do I know about hockey.

I just couldn't stop thinking about how the physicality of the Raptors (sigh)...is like a chamber string quartet playing...playing hardcore, death, metal.

ok it says 5-4 Vancouver on NHL Network. They haven't even started the OT yet.

goal game over.

Can't take this Zapruder film bullshit anymore. It only takes goals away, it never adds them.

Also, even though Toews was pushed, he effectively lost his team the game. Oh well, at least Minnesota only gained a point on us. Beat Dallas, beat Florida, assess from there.

It was offsides, but we're really splitting hairs. The game moves so f-ing fast. Thus my balls and strikes analogy.

Not even mad. Hawks were the better team and came up short while taking a point after being down three in the 3rd.

I hate the offsides review shit. It has hurt the sport for sure.

it's Tim Peel, par for the course. He doesn't hate the Hawks, he's just awful at his job.

got a last minute invite to a lower level luxury box. But, got there to find it was a kosher spread and no desert cart. Very disappointing. Made me think maybe IMU was right all along.

Watching live at game it looked iffy if he was onsides. When they failed to show replay during review I wasn't surprised. I never thought they would overturn the final goal. I guess the contact wasn't egregious enough but letter of law... he interfered. Oh well, don't play like garbage first two periods Nd you win that game.

Looked offsides to me when I saw it. As for the last goal, that wasn't interference by the letter of the law unless you want to go back to 1999 and say his toe was in the crease. He brushed against Darling and didn't in any way interfere with his ability to play the position.

My biggest issue was the penalty against Toews. He tried to avoid contact and was pushed into Miller. It was a typical Tim Peel penalty. Fuck him.

I felt they got the offside right on review. He skated in ahead of the puck.

I liked it better when the players couldn't stand in the crease. This just gets to be too much of a subjective call depending on who the officials are. Sedin was clearly standing with both feet inside the blue, may have been leaning into the blocker slightly, which would impede Darling's ability to move his hand to the puck. There are always players in the blue area now, many times I've seen the D-Men will push an O-man into the goalie and the O-man gets called.
