Pre-Game Talk: Lightning strikes tonight, 7:30 pm on TSN

[Micklebot]

I am amazed that they called this back considering how things have gone in the NHL since the break.

I thought since the break they've been leaning towards goals being good where as early in the season any contact whatsoever seemed to be GI

“If you pay a coach 5 million that means you have to take $5 million away from the roster”
- Eugene Melnyk

*hires the cheapest coach and is at the bottom of league spending anyways*

Spend on a good coach and you won’t need that extra 5 million. Spend on a good GM and they’ll make magic out of that 5 million.

We have one of if not the worst GM in the league. The guy is so far out of his depth it’s horrific. Boucher has got to be one of the worst coaches. I mean. This guy likely never coaches in this league again if we fire him

(lol) Do you regret posting that after the clear replay of the goalie grabbing Ryan's leg.

No, this is a "live" GDT. It looked like clear interference at first and the ref was very quick to call it no-goal.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Lots of hate going on tonight....

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Kucherov makes the slickest passes in the league

On first glance it looked like Ryan caught the goalie with his foot, but the replay revealed what actually happened. I don't blame anyone for thinking it was GI without the benefit of the replay.

Karlsson already helping his new team I see.

How is paajarvi this bad? How can such a highly touted offensive prospect have absolutely zero hands. Like zero. Thes clumsy. He’s uncoordinated. The speed is mostly gone.

Well, I mostly meant that no one seems to have any idea what will be called GI or not, and usually if a ref seems sure about his on-ice call, he won't be taking it back.

Lmao Ceci

Isn't he too young to have lost his legs already?

Stop it man

Just pulling your leg I thought it was interference too until after I saw the replay a couple of times.

As Micklebot said the trend changed later in the season in favor of allowing more goals unless the evidence of interference is clear.

That's scouting for ya. Inexact science at the best of times, a wild guess at the worst.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Bobby still can't shoot. Why did they even bring him back?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Brassard takes the WORST shots on the PP.

 

[Tundraman]

Hedman didn't try to throw a glove punch/facewash until Smith's arms were held. Tough man!

 

[senswon]

Smith just drop him. So tired of the pushing and slashing coming from hedman

If he wants to start shit as already seen with dzingle don't talk. You're down 2 goals you beard

 

[Agent Zub]

Brassard takes the WORST shots on the PP.

wide open lane to Gaborik for a cross ice pass.. makes eye contact with him.. shoots at the closest defencemans shins

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Oduya is trash

 

[Boud]

Brassard takes the WORST shots on the PP.

I thought I was the only one who noticed

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I think it’s simply not taken that seriously. Mostly guys that are someone’s son or know a guy who knows a guy.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Refs are whistle-happy tonight. We haven't gotten this many favorable calls in a while.
