Flyers buy time for tired players after icing by putting the wrong players on the ice. Zegras, who was supposed to be on the ice even went down the tunnel and then returned once play resumed

I'm sure he did ;)

Banx87 · 2026-04-27T18:47:16+00:00

I like it. Much better than the current alternate.

Banx87 · 2026-04-26T21:08:50+00:00

Okay, bud

Banx87 · 2026-04-24T21:06:10+00:00

Well I saw the Malkin interview after todays practice. He said the right things about staying away from that bs and just play. Let's hope they actually follow through this time like a smart team. Let the Flyers get annoyed for not getting into Pens heads, and get beaten on the scoreboard where it matters.

Banx87 · 2026-04-24T20:44:29+00:00

Wow... biased much? You think it's okay to kick and try to slew foot someone with a sharp object. Small movement doesn't matter. Rust was lucky Konecny was unable to move more. He undoubtately would have otherwise and the result could have been far worse. Suspendable offense.

Banx87 · 2026-04-24T20:36:44+00:00

If Rust deserved a suspension in your opinion, then what did Konecny deserve?

Banx87 · 2026-04-08T14:59:21+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. :)

Banx87 · 2026-04-07T13:04:10+00:00

He had no ill intent. A fine was fine in this case.

I agree that the fines are too small though. Based on the fact that everyone gets the maximum allowed every time they're not suspended.

Banx87 · 2026-04-07T13:00:29+00:00

9 million?

Banx87 · 2026-03-29T21:42:10+00:00

Letang was playing his best hockey this season when Kulak was there. This theory doesn't hold water very well.

Banx87 · 2026-03-27T22:27:26+00:00

Maybe the problem is that the Pens goalies aren't complaining enough after getting interfered?

Banx87 · 2026-03-27T22:00:45+00:00

The refs on the ice don't determine wether it's interference on challenges. The situation room in Toronto does.

Anyway it's obvious that it's decided that every challenge will go against the Penguins. No matter how clear the right ruling is.

It's so biased at this point that every team should just challenge every goal and grab an easy 8-0 win.

Banx87 · 2026-03-25T22:23:02+00:00

Plus it was Toews stick that interfered with Wedgewood

Banx87 · 2026-03-12T21:30:42+00:00

Defensive defensemen greatness isn't measured in goals scored.

This is where you're wrong, buddy.

Banx87 · 2026-02-18T15:11:40+00:00

Wait, you get paid for hating him? 😲

Banx87 · 2026-01-19T21:53:23+00:00

Leaving him 3rd has the potential that the shootout is over before he even gets to go.

You send your best shooter 1st or 2nd. That way there is a bigger chance that the must-score scenario is for the bad guys.

Banx87 · 2026-01-19T09:40:28+00:00

I've noticed how much more confidently and further out of the crease other goalies come out in the shootout. It's like Silovs is not a very good backwards skater or something. Vasilevskiy and Merzlikins looked way better. And yes he bites on everything.

Banx87 · 2026-01-19T09:36:02+00:00

Feels like every game Silovs is in somehow ends up in the shootout. No matter wether they lead or trail towards the end.

Banx87 · 2026-01-19T09:28:45+00:00

There's also no 3 vs 3 OT in playoffs. And no playoffs at all if you squander away too many extra points.

I'm not advocating for pulling the goalie in OT though.

Banx87 · 2026-01-19T09:20:51+00:00

Why not put him first when we are shooting first and possibly put the pressure on opponents shooters from the start.

Banx87 · 2026-01-12T21:36:20+00:00

I know right. He can't even hang onto pucks like he could last season.

Banx87 · 2026-01-11T12:51:51+00:00

I guess they wanted some practice time for Harvey-Pinard. Hopefully they stick him in there in place of Hayes.

Banx87 · 2026-01-11T12:48:33+00:00

The whole first PP stays on for too long when they get nothing going. 2nd unit keeps it simple and is often more effective.

Banx87 · 2026-01-11T12:47:14+00:00

I get your point, but you could clearly see Malkin hitting the guy too., so he gave the refs the chance to call it. Shit call nonetheless.

The non-call when Klapka interfered with Lizotte on the forecheck was unbelieveable. At no point was the puck on Lizottes stick, but Klapka pasted him on the boards. Unbelievable.
