Ottawa and their shake your hand around ever time they get stick checked is obnoxious. Literally the most unnatural reaction and their entire team does it and referees buy it everytime.

Like who shakes their hand if it just got hurt by a whack? Not anyone outside a hockey game and an entire team in the NHL does the same lame thing to draw phantom calls.

this happens all the time by literally every team. its cute you think washington doesn't do it. same goes for guys flicking their head back on high sticks.

Paul Romanuk is just unlistenably bad. I get that he doesn't like Ottawa and goes nuts any time their opponent does something, but he is just terrible at play by play. Learn the players names for one.

Icing was just called on a play where the puck never actually crossed the goal line extended. Took that bounce in the corner and went sideways parallel to the line. Wilson went nuts, but with hybrid icing, is that the right call? They whistled before the puck bounced, I think.

Easily one of the most pathetic commentators in the game right now. Guy has absolutely know ****ing clue what he's watching 90% of the time.

This game is a good example of why some people think Carlyle is a terrible coach.

He called JvR "Nieuwendyk" a few weeks ago.

So you're saying the full practice this morning was a bad idea?

Outshot 55-25 and still get 2 points.

Life is darkness right now for Flyers fans.

Yeah, it's technically the right call, linesman can't wait till it actually crosses the line because he needs to make a decision on icing when the chasing players hit the ringette line. If he thinks the puck will cross the line when Karlsson (or whoever it was) hit the ringette line, he needs to blow it right then,
