GDT: [#17] Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars, 7:30PM CST (FS-SW, ESPN+)

[JeffP]

I just remembered Nichushkin was on the the Avs now.

 

[LT]

Pavelski tripped, but no call. Refs have had a rough first game.

 

[serp]

Damn it

 

[The Tourist]

Dominate everything about the period and now it's a one goal game.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Send Hanley down and call up Bayreuther.

 

[Henderson33]

Pavelski tripped, but no call. Refs have had a rough first game.

They don't want to call anything else on Colorado. We've had too many powerplays as is.

and they score... typical Dallas Stars.

 

[serp]

I don't like how Klingberg moved there. Didn't challenge at all.

 

[LT]

What a snipe, jesus. Defense clearly didn't expect that.

 

[LT]

WHAT WAS THAT? NICHUSHKIN WITH A SHOT OFF THE ICE?

 

[JeffP]

yea, i cant say that was entirely on Hanley.. hell of a shot and he was stuck in essentially a 2 on 1
bummarrrr.

 

[Kcb12345]

Bishop doesn't look too calm in net

 

[MrHeiskanen]

yea, i cant say that was entirely on Hanley.. hell of a shot and he was stuck in essentially a 2 on 1
bummarrrr.

No need to drift to the outside and leave the guy in the slot for a wrister.

 

[JeffP]

No need to drift to the outside and leave the guy in the slot for a wrister.

I suppose that's a fair assessment, but isnt the defence supposed to default to playing the puck carrier? i suppose its a moot point now

Anyhow, Let's blow this shit back wide open!
with Roope out, this is a good time for the big boys to show up

 

[MrHeiskanen]

We are sitting back so much lol

 

[serp]

Good. They needed that. Going 0-5 would've sucked

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Man watched that battle in front the entire PP, that was rewarding to see Faksa score.

 

[serp]

So Faksa stick broke and they want to challenge that ?

 

[Henderson33]

Just letting the Avs take all the time in the world to decide?

Get outta here.

 

[The Tourist]

You can't let the Avalanche bench continue to watch video replay for 5 minutes. Either they are going to challenge or not. The official spent way too long at the bench listening to the assistant coach discuss it while the head coach watched replay after replay on the booth.

How long are you going to let them decide? They should get about 10 seconds and the ref should then skate away.

 

[JeffP]

im on the avs feed and they are just bitching to no end here that its a stars penalty .. so eye-rolly

After review it was determined that this should be a bs challenge .. Avs take a double-minor penalty THANKS

Even if the language is vague, the refs made the right call. This is like so many other rules, i.e. toe in the crease/offsides determined by a microscope/etc

 

[MrHeiskanen]

How does Faksa know its broken? He doesnt until it snaps and he drops it.

 

[serp]

The refs allowed the Avs soo much time for this challenge.

 

[Henderson33]

His stick is broken on the first shot obviously, but it doesn't bend until after he shoots it in the net.

This is like glove in the net with the puck, yes it's in, but we can't prove it.

 

[The Tourist]

Situations like this are when technology and the review system become a complete joke. The Avalanche are over there watching the replay on repeat on their Ipads on the bench for 5 minutes while the assistant coaches upstairs are also watching and the ref just stands there and waits for them to decide.

 

[serp]

What a wierd challenge and now they have 4 minutes of PP
