Around the League - 15/16 Edition: Part 4

[BlowbyBlow]

I'm just going to end this here because you aren't really seeing this clearly because you dislike refs. It's not unwarranted but i hate refs too. It's just blinding you.

It's not my dislike but it's the whole idea that the players have to work around the refs I used to think that the unselfish refs would do anything like jump on the teams ledge of the bench to get out of the way. NONE of them do that anymore, players are there to play the game, and a ref's main objective should be never get in the way, it should be secondary to be trying to see every little thing. Getting out of the way is the main thing, that's how I feel

Which is fair however in this case it is extremely hard to lay any fault in Henderson unless you have an agenda.

How so?

The cop comparison is ridiculous in so many ways.

Hockey is a contact sport. Hitting someone is part of the game. Many people put themselves willingly in dangerous situations for games, sports, and even work. By putting yourself in those situations common sense needs to take precedence and you realize you can be hurt accidentally.

Even further than that you can't compare a games rules to the law.

It's beyond ridiculous to compare an assault to hitting a guy to get out of your way to the bench after being clobbered yourself.

By that logic the guy who hit Wideman should have been suspended as well. Cause he assaulted a player in an "illegal" manner.

Real life or in this game, accidents happen. Whether it's to a regular person or to a figure of authority the punishment needs to be fair.

jebus what is wrong with Tampa. Have a 4-1 lead in 3rd period, then completely implode giving up 4 straight goals to the lowly Winnipeg Jets. wow.

There is nothing dominant about the Lightning this year and don't deserve to make the playoffs.

edit

just like always Tampa wins in OT in a shoot out.

Calgary Flames East. I keep saying.

 

[Aerchon]

Hendricks slew footed a ref. 20 game suspension incoming.

Joking.

This makes no sense.

Kings are going to need to turn things around. Scoring has dried right up and only won 1 game in their last 5 since they had that big win over Boston. Playing under .500 hockey since the New Year. Not good enough at all.

Wrong thread

Vancouver has 1 regulation win at home against a Western Conference team this year.

I laughed when I saw it and thought of hfoil. He's lucky Nurse never piled up on top of him to boot.

 

[doulos]

And yet the Oilers are still 6 points back of them with 2 games in hand. UGLY!

Maybe this was posted already but Henderson is still injured and not even on the ice after the hit. Wideman should be thankful he only got 20 games. He better be hoping he doesn't get sued as well.

Lol it's okay that i gave him a legit concussion because i might have had one.

The more i learn the worse Wideman looks using that as a defense.

The whole thing is dumb because the NHLPA doesn't want any suspension at all. The referee can't do his job anymore because of concussion and back problems and Wideman is calling foul!

They cry concussion with zero proof other than a facetime convo with a Dr days after where they concluded he could of had one.

His team failed him by not going thru concussion protocol

Calgary Flames should be fined for that crap. The Flames messed up big time and need to be heavily fined for this garbage.

Refs are so terribad. Hamilton runs over Markstrom without any help and not a hand up to be seen.

Refs in Calgary afraid of getting Wideman'd.

They were probably dumbstruck. He's as much as a woman as Schultz. Would you blame them loll

Could you see either cream puffs do that?

Ahhh yes. Poking my head into the Oilers out of town thread is always good for a solid cringe.

Just like listening to Mr. Hrudey. My God the Flames can do no wrong in that man's eyes.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I seen the goals from that Flames game. Man it really shows what good D can do. Their D was the cause of 3 or 4 goals for. Holding it along the line and making nice plays.

Hamilton doing something in a game besides getting burnt wide? Stop the presses, you have my attention
