GDT: The 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs ( All General Talk )

[Alex Jones]

I don't think he should, it was a late hit for sure but should be no more than 2 min for interference.

That's the type of hit right on the line you want a guy like Wilson to make. Huge hit on a star player that probably crosses the line to illegal, but also a hit the league can't really do anything about.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Eller's got to put that in .

Great play by Mcnabb on that one. Sucks to see him so successful while Hishon somewhere in Europe crying himself to sleep that he turned down that $30 off hot yoga coupon ROR's dad offered him all them years ago.

 

[Balthazar]

I came to the conclusion that I wish every team to win their home games for this series. Knights winning the cup in game 7 would be an insane story.

Then Ovi can win it next year.

There that looks better now hehe

 

[The Abusement Park]

Does Wilson get a game for his hit? I don't think he will.

Nah he shouldn’t imo.

 

[Ivan13]

That's a dirty hit. I'm sorry but there's no reason for him to deliver that hit, the puck is long, long gone and he just decides to blast a guy. That should've been 5 and game misconduct.

 

[Foppberg]

Just seeing the hit now... No way does he get suspended for that. It was interference yes but not dirty in any way.

 

[ABasin]

Much ado about nothing, re: Wilson hit. Two minutes for interference is fine with me, and in truth, I wouldn't have had a problem if there was no penalty. All of this suspension/ejection stuff is overkill, IMO.

Look, it sucks when you're not expecting a hit and then get tagged. We've all been there. It's part of hockey. But that hit, while perhaps a wee bit late, wasn't otherwise aggregious in the least. Next.

If anybody else in that game other than Wilson made the hit it would not have even been a 2 minute penalty.


Not a single thing about the hit was dirty.

It was late, the puck was far gone etc. It has nothing to do with who delivered the hit, hell I defended him for his hit Dumoulin.

Vegas' 4th goal is a prime example of why I hate playoff officiating. Let's hope the refs won't completely ruin what is shaping up to be a great series.

For real. If Wilson’s hit is so “dirty” why isn’t Reaves? He cross checks Carlson in the numbers way away from the puck. So clearly that should be a penalty then right?

Yeah saw the replay after I wrote that. Still think he should have put that in though. Looked like a bit of a slash, so I think if Eller is stronger on his stick he could have still put it in. But not as egregious as when I first saw it.

 

[Avs_19]

That was an amazing game last night. I wouldn't mind six more of those.

Wilson's hit isn't suspension worthy because he avoided the head for once. It was late though and another example of an unnecessary hit you'd expect from a trash player.

 

[McMetal]

It doesn't elevate to the level of a suspension, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a dirty, unnecessary hit. He's lucky that didn't cost his team a power play instead of a 4 on 4.

Turns out the ratings for gm1 did really well, even in Canada

 

[billybobjoe2112]

That was an amazing game. Who would've seen 10 goals coming?

 

[Pokecheque]

Was driving back from a visit to Colorado and listening on the radio, what a crazy game.

Custance did a piece in The Athletic about the Knights and how they've (possibly) changed how teams will build their rosters moving forward. It's well-written enough but he gets a lot of quotes from John Chayka. Really? Chayka? I mean, get a couple soundbytes and what not but how about getting more than one source, and maybe someone who has helmed a team with a winning record perhaps...?

Bad idea to use Imagine Dragons to hype up your fans for the playoffs, Vegas

 

[Foppberg]

So many old geezers complaining about the Vegas pregame stuff, who cares.

Brings up memories I'd prefer to forget.

 

[agentblack]

omg hockey!!

 

[The Abusement Park]

What. A. Snipe.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

Great play by Neal

 

[Hennessy]

Washington D is having a really hard time with the speed of Vegas. Getting beat to a lot of pucks or skated around. They're relying on a lot of clutch and grab, which may not be called much in the postseason, but it's going to come back to bite them. Granted, better to mug a guy than to have him do what Neal did there.
