Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Kings Jan. 16

[Here I Pageau Again]

Heck this echl team kicked some ass... looks like all teams sometimes give up the lead late in the game

 

[bert]

They had two points in the bag.

How do you lose three straight to this team?

Embarassing.

Id argue that this would go under the column of losing when it doesnt matter. They have won cups two of the last 4 years thats winning when it matters. Not when you are playing a team in a different conference.

I'm sure there are all kinds of excuses.

Nevertheless, they blew a 3-1 lead in the 3rd and got bounced by the Sens for the third straight time.

I keep hearing about how the Kings inspire such terror but lately I'm not seeing it.

:shrug:

 

[bert]

its a d-bag move, Kings are down, you heard the whistle.

Yes hockey etiquette, I agree D bag move. But I dont mind when the guys play like that either, Smith got what he deserved. Still like the play, he is his best when he is playing with an edge.

 

[jbeck5]

Smith shot a puck into the net well after a whistle, he deserved it.

Isn't the logic of going after a player that shoots after the whistle because he could have injured the goalie who is unsuspecting?

What's the logic in this case?

Clear roughing.

Bonk did this against tampa many years ago when they took a shot on Lalime after the whistle. Bonk got a penalty. The goalie was in net, and yet bonk still got a penalty for shoving the guy to the ice.

So without a goalie in net, what's the excuse??

 

[EK65IsAGod]

I'm loving the transition from Yay we're winning to Wtf just happened in the Kings GDT

Wizard

Zibby got the game winner so i don't understand the wizard comment lol.

i thought it was about respect.

 

[starling]

Karlsson with 5 giveaways, Doughty with 4. Doughty >>> Karlsson guys.

Its just the code. You don't shoot the puck in our net after a whistle. Period. Like it or not that's the way it is.

 

[jbeck5]

This...makes no sense.

There's no logic behind what you're saying.

What douchy about shooting the puck after a whistle? The fact you can hurt someone.

Without a goalie in net, there is no one that can get hurt therefore no douchiness to be seen.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

IMO we should not get into all this Karlsson vs Doughty stuff.

Both are fantastic hockey players.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Also, playing the Kings (and winning) is apparently our Stanley Cup as well! So that's like what, 8-10 possible Stanley Cups in a season? We're gonna catch the Habs in no time.

 

[starling]

Pisses me off when refs blow down borderline offsides like on Smith play. You have a goal review now. Let them play and figure it out later if they actually score.

 

[jbeck5]

Respect for your opponent by not potentially injuring them when they aren't paying attention? That makes sense.

 

[HavlatMach9]

i thought it was only the habs fans that belittled us for winning games against them

 

[Canadian Time]

Zibby had a nice game, its why he was out there lots in the last 5 minutes. Frustrating player, only because he is so good sometimes, but not always.

Good road win, pushing the play in the third period is a great sign. Everyone contributed, perfect.

 

[vippe]

That was a dirty shot på Zibanejad, great comeback win!

 

[EK65IsAGod]

You'd be surprised.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Anderson gave us a chance to win. Pageau's goal was a beauty

 

[Kyle Johansen]

IMO we should not get into all this Karlsson vs Doughty stuff.

Both are fantastic hockey players.

Everyone knows that. It's just beyond annoying at this point to hear all the crap Karlsson gets and so many people thinking Doughty is head and shoulders above him.

 

[Flamingo]

come-from-behind win vs kings and Chia scored from Lazar? Did I miss the episode where Rob Schneider is on the roster?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Everyone knows that. It's just beyond annoying at this point to hear all the crap Karlsson gets and so many people thinking Doughty is head and shoulders above him.

Yah .. I know that happens doesn't mean we have to join into that crap. We can appreciate the superstar 2 time Norris winner we have without running down other great players.

 

[jbeck5]

Its just the code. You don't shoot the puck in our net after a whistle. Period. Like it or not that's the way it is.

Yes, and i'm saying that's stupid. There is a code for a reason, and that reason isn't in place here.

The code of respect is don't shoot the puck after the whistle towards your opponents. Makes sense.

If you're going to say its out of respect that your opponent shouldn't see a puck go into their net when it doesn't actually count then boohoo. That doesn't make any logical sense.

It's like the "take your hat off when you walk into a friends house code" that's going the way of the dodo bird.

Things that are polite/respectful because they make sense, like opening doors for people will remain, and things like taking off your ball cap when you go to a buddies for beers won't.

Getting mad at someone for flicking the puck into your net with none of your teammates in sight after the whistle makes absolutely zero sense. It's immature and barbaric to get upset over that and go confront someone about this non issue.

It's like in football when a reciever catches the ball and is running for it but the play is blown down, and yet he keeps running into the end zone while the rest of the players have stopped playing.

No one goes and shoves him to to the ground.

I can't believe anyone would defend that lol.

 

[HavlatMach9]

i'm pretty sure that Smith smiled after being shoved. I think he was expecting something
