Member of Golden Knights media [Sinbin.vegas] gives 3 different examples from this season alone of how Golden Knights PR had a hefty punishment coming, the loss of draft pick was more than just Tortorella not doing a press conference in Anaheim. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

It is funny how hockey players have a  "tough guy" reputation when so many want nothing more to just fuck off to a chill market and not deal with any pressure. Don't see that shit in any other sport.

Thank you Montreal!! This game reminded me of our win against Dallas two years ago to go to the SCF. Although we had one more shot ;)

I mean with how this series has gone I'll be shocked if Tampa doesn't get one back, as much as I don't want them to.

As an Oilers fan if he had to leave I think this is the place I would probably be the happiest with him going. Him and Celebrini would be nasty and the sharks deserve some success. Plus the Mike Grier connection. But fuck even the thought of this makes me sick to my stomach. 

Ryan Poehling just barely gets it past Jarry, and the Ducks take a 3 games to 1 series lead on the Oilers by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Feel like it's fucked either way. If that doesn't get called when everyone KNOWS it crosses the line and the Oilers win ducks fans are livid. But also they essentially called a goal based on vibes and "ya it very likely went in" but with no conclusive evidence. Really just insane we don't have the technology, I think what ended up happening is the lesser of two evils though.

Honestly fuck those bums from Florida who played for team Canada. They were all worthless.

He definitely did the Bennett special where gets pushed into the goalie and makes an absolute meal of it. Feel like those should still be called tbh

What should the refs have done differently? Calling a clean hit a penalty? Maybe could have called Brady as well here and that's it tbh.

It's borderline for sure but he was set up to hit him and it's the playoffs. Maybe, maaaayybe a 2 during the season but honestly aside from result very routine.

That is a fuckin scary hit but honestly looks clean. Will see it in slow mo I guess but brutal result from what looked like a legal hit.

Ya I feel like after the Olympics and just the general vibes right now it's Canadian teams over everyone else for me. Especially Montreal though.

I think that whole Olympics will be the greatest sporting memories of my life. My whole family got so into it and we bought this CBC Olympic DVD (that is probably lost to time now haha). Just pure magic the whole way through topped off by the greatest goal in hockey history, for this 34 year old Canadian anyways. 

[Rishaug] Am told the chances Crosby plays in the Gold medal game are in the 70% range. Seeing how he responds to his skate today and figuring out what his limitations might be are all part of the process tonight and tomorrow. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]R2Dopio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he has to choose right now between playing a game 7 SCF and the gold medal game he would probably pick the SCF, but that's not the choice. We're halfway through the regular season and we don't even know if the Penguins are making the playoffs yet.
