Skeptical of that premise. The Sharks are the Raptors of hockey and we should feel bad for them? But yeah fuck this expansion team too. This is why the nhl sucks.

Just watched the highlights of the SJ/LV- that was a horseshit major on Eakin. Maybe a 2 minute crosschecking but there is no way that is a major penalty. It's awful that a bad call cost Vegas the series.

Definitely a bullshit major.

Buuuuut, 4 goals in 5 minutes?!

Vegas earned that loss. That douchebag Reaves can now gladly fuck off

Xcheck/board that draws blood is always five and a game, not sure how you can see a guy bleed out of his helmet and call it a horseshit call.

That’s hockey baby!

If can't do the time, don't do the crime.....as CH said, outomes matter. sure...he didn't intend to draw blood make his head scrambled eggs, but....it happened. Sometimes things don't bounce your way.

You have a 3-0 lead and feel the need to cross check a guy? Here's a thought....rule #1 of protecting a lead is don't do anything stupid. I call a cross check in front of an official stupid.

_________________

The crosscheck didn't draw blood. Hitting his head after he ran into another player drew blood.

It's also pretty stupid to have a penalty be determined by the injury a player suffers. So the exact same action that doesn't draw blood is somehow better?

Just say you hate Vegas and you are glad they got screwed.

That's the rule, yes, the league observes a difference between running a guy into the boards and running a guy into the boards who then has to be stretchered out. Same with high-sticking, cross-checking, and so on.

_________________

I get it when a stick hits the face because it shows the severity of the hit but this was a guy getting hit and then running into another guy who then knocked him on his head.

Horseshit penalty or not if you give up 4 goals in 5 mins in a game 7 you deserve to lose.

Because that is a play that happens every game. If Pavelski don't lose his balance it's not even a penalty.

And if he doesn't take a hard crosscheck to the neck, he doesn't lose his balance, aunt, balls, uncle

The neck? Eakins pushed him in the chest.

Looked like Pavelski embellished and accidentally twisted into the other player before landing all fucked up. 2 minute penalty for sure.

Of course, that was watching in slow motion. Full speed, it looked worse.

I’m just glad the Preds, Bolts, Caps, and the Kuh-nig-hts are all out. Fuck ‘em.

Now, if we can just get rid of the Bruins and Blues in Round 2, then that would make for an even more enjoyable playoff overall.

Same here. Like to see Thornton win the Cup.
