BTW, my most hated penalty in all of sports is slashing on a stick..WTF, if you can't hold onto your stick or your stick breaks..that's on you! Stupid stupid penalty I was pretty upset at that call (even though it worked out better than I could have imagined) because of the timing of it. Not that it's an incorrect call as it's called all the time during the season. I agree with you the rule is a little weak. Anyway, through almost the entire game the standards have been relaxed to the point that anything short of a mugging is no way getting called. The players know this as they have been allowed throughout so they do shite. And the numbskull to call it in the 2nd OT? I dunno maybe he had a flight to catch or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon don't be negative. Leafs got a good shot. Nice doubleheader tomorrow night. My son is a Leaf fan so hopefully it will be a good night for both of us.

This contentious series between the defending Stanley Cup champions and the "Bunch of Jerks" in their first postseason in a decade will have a seventh and deciding game back in Washington on Wednesday. Which might be good news for the Capitals, as the home team has rolled to victory in each game. In Game 6, that was the Hurricanes, who rallied twice before scoring three unanswered goals in the third period -- a period, it should be said, that saw a controversial goalie interference call go against the Capitals that would have tied the game. Jordan Staal had the eventual game-winning goal and picked up an assist on Justin Williams's critical goal at 11:58 of the third. You know, Justin Williams ... a.k.a. Mr. Game 7. Just something to keep in mind for the future. Alex Ovechkin scored his fourth of the playoffs but was given a misconduct penalty at 18:52 for sarcastically applauding the on-ice officials.

Except that's just not true most of the time. So the replay guys ends up making an over-thought, intellectually biased decision on an inconclusive replay, which IMO is far worse than a ref making a split second call on the spot (when he's only thinking about the call and not the teams, the game situation, etc). It is the absolute worst thing about sports.

Having said that, I liked Kane as a player, and though I wanted him traded earlier than most due strictly to roster makeup and contract status.
