20 Controversies From the 2015 NHL Playoffs

I want you to think back to the afternoon of April 15. It was the first day of the NHL playoffs, with the opening faceoff just hours away. Do you remember how you felt back then? Calm. Happy. Even peaceful. Look at you. You were so young back then.

And then the playoffs started, and you’ve been filled with rage ever since.

I can name all 20 controversies in one word: Refs.

Least that is what the popular opinion seems to be in all playoff discussions.

The aftermath: The Predators won the game 6-2, so this didn’t end up mattering at all. I just wanted to include it because that picture of the Hawks celebrating cracks me up every time.

Got to admit, that is pretty funny.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Got to admit, that is pretty funny.

Took a minute for my brain to register what was noteworthy in that picture. Yeesh.

 

[NYR713]

Man, some of that stuff seems like last year already haha

 

[phosphene*]

Took a minute for my brain to register what was noteworthy in that picture. Yeesh.

I still don't get it. Aren't they just celebrating a goal?

It took me a little bit of time as well. Just an innocent looking goal celebration.

Hint: 1,2,3...

Unless they pulled the goalie on a delayed call... Something's wrong

 

[Roomtemperature]

Not knowing the play I guess if someone was coming off but not off the ice yet and someone jumped on when the goal was they could go to the pile to celebrate but I'm guessing its a missed too many men

 

[Apocalypse Dude]

Good list, I forgot about most of these.

Byfuglien on Perry though

 

[Super Cake]

It took me a couple of minutes to find out what was wrong with that picture.

 

[Sam Spade]

The biggest one by a wide margin for me was the Capitals no goal in game five. Changed the whole series.

Should have counted, Caps lose, series over.

 

[Tofveve]

I still don't get the picture. Are you all just "getting it" for getting it's sake?

Good call maybe that's it.

not sure if serious or not..

count the white helmets.. keep in mind, Goalie was still in play....

 

[bWo*]

had they made the right call it'd be the caps playing the lightning in game 7

And imagine that. It didn't even make the list. But, Backstroms dirty hit did. I bet you think that was still legit too.

 

[talkinaway]

I didn't get it until reading some of the clues. At first I thought it was the idea of celebrating when behind 2-3, but it's not like it was a goal with 2 seconds left to score the tiebreaker.

But, considering I'm watching the Ducks/Hawks game now, and Chicago got their fifth penalty for this, according to Doc. Ironic, considering it should have been number six.

if that was a dirty hit, what do you make of kreiders knee on knee?

 

[NYR713]

I make that it didn't make the list either.

 

[bWo*]

I make that it didn't make the list either.

So this is a list of dirty plays and not a list of controversies?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Why was that Katy Perry chant so controversial? That's ****ing hilarious

 

[kingsholygrail]

It's not very PC.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It's not very PC.

If people really think so, they should man up. It's as offensive as the "refs, you suck" chant.

It's just funny word-play on a name being similar to a female celebrity.
