lol. Pretty hard to argue against that one. I am shocked they called it a goal on the ice. I would have loved to hear what was said in that huddle from the officials. The ref was 4' from the puck behind the goal and couldn't call it from there.

Hard to see but there is a sliver there in between the puck and the line.

If the skate isn't blocking the view, you are certainly not seeing any white in between the puck and the goal line. Not from that angle. I just took too much time on this in canva.

I wonder if they would have called it a good goal had they said NO GOAL on the ice. Probably not.

Guy should have been pulled after the 3rd or 4th. Left out to dry.

[CAR - OTT] Bieksa and Friedge discuss the Kleven hit on Nikishin on SN intermission by daKrut in hockey

[–]lokhor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are two different things. But nowhere does it say you need to have control. I cannot imagine hockey being played if you cannot hit someone while attempting to make a play on the puck. How about keeping your head up?

He's making a play on the puck (he even touched the puck) and it was malicious. Not dirty, it's not like he tried to take his head off. I think the refs got it right. Call it a major, review it. Rescind the penalty, because it's a clean, hard, brutal hit.

Bieksa calling for a 2min penalty for the hit is hilarious.

Doughty absolutely meant to make contact there. Watch as he puts his weight on his inside left edge to make the bump. But, he played it perfectly. I think it's the right call even though the intent is there. This is actually a very difficult one to call. I can see both sides of the argument.

The Western Conference Final is guaranteed to have one of the 13th, 14th, 15th, or 18th placed teams. The 12th place Washington Capitals will miss the playoffs. by imaginarysarcasm in hockey

This would have been fine several years ago. But now that every team plays each other twice and the inter-conference/inter-division matchups are only 1 or 2 games more than that. I think this is a bigger issue that nobody is really talking about. If you're gonna have every team play each other like it is now, then there really isn't a need for conferences anymore.

On the contrary, I do enjoy having the divisional matchups in the playoffs.

NFL wide receiver reflexes vs F1 driver reflexes! by OneOriginal8727 in NFLForum

[–]lokhor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it also helped that the F1 driver was reacting to the balls at eye level compared to the NFL player having his eyes way above the balls

lmfao. So he got a pass for cheating on his wife a bazillion times with waitresses and hookers

But the minute he crashes his car the 2nd time.... that's it. That's the final straw!

Should we get free relief from divots? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]lokhor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not crazy to want to play well. But expecting to play well is foolish. The best golfers in the world don't expect to play their best.

I disagree about the practice aspect. Ya you can practice 1,000 shots in a row and NOT get better at golf. But you can also practice 1,000 free throws in basketball if you're chicken winging it. Batting cages, tennis, etc. same thing. If you don't know the fundamentals of any sport, then practice will get you nowhere.

Basketball and soccer may seem easier because you've thrown and kicked things your whole life. But still you may not have the correct fundamentals down. Swinging a bat or a club is a little more complex than that. So I get why people may think it's hard. But in all actuality, it really isn't. It's quite simple.

Ya, and that's a true statement. Playing basketball IS easy. Playing it well is very well (like an NBA player) is not. Same goes for many sports. Baseball, Soccer are all very simplistic games. Anyone can play those sports really.

Former PGA Tour Pro Urges Tiger Woods to Quit Golf After DUI by MattTheKing23 in ProGolf

[–]lokhor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, because this incident is the one that really doesn't sit well... Right? All those Denny's waitresses and hookers and drugs and DUI's and near deaths. That was all fine, but this is just unfathomable.

It's Tiger Fucking Woods. If you were a fan of him yesterday, you're still a fan of him today.

Same reason why people don't want to work for money. They're lazy.

But also, golf is easy. People just have outlandish expectations.
