GDT: 2015-16 Other Playoff Games

[USF Shark]

oh what an end to that game

 

[magic school bus]

Thought Demers might've covered the puck, but they got the call right.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He did cover the puck but they hardly call it.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Man, the stars might get eaten alive next round

 

[OverTheLine]

We'd be so lucky to meet Dallas in the WCF. They won't be able to get by winning 5-4 every game against any other horse in this race.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Valient effort from the wild. Man only millimeters from that pick going in.

 

[Juxtaposer]

To be fair, the Stars didn't have Seguin. But also, offense was not their problem. I'll be very interested to see how they do against an actual good team.

The wild didn't have vanek and parise either and the lowly offensive team like the wild still scored a tonn of goals against them. A team like the hawks are just going to shred that team apart. I wouldn't be suprised to see the hawks put up 1 or 2 games of 8 plus goals against the stars.

Well, I think a lot of their issues are because of their goaltending. If Lehtonen can settle in, they'll be fine. A series like they just had can sometimes refocus and calm down a team.

Although, the Stars have a casualness and openness to their game that a disciplined team like the Sharks (or Ducks/Predators, Blues, maybe even Hawks) could eviscerate.

Islanders tie it with under a minute left... guess who it was...

 

[OrrNumber4]

That is the first game of the playoffs with late-game heroics, right? Something that had been missing.

Luongo always ends up on the odd side of these situations.

 

[JeremyTB]

The Panthers got hosed. A clear trip by the Isles to stop the empty net goal and refs don't call it. then 15 seconds later the Isles score.

 

[Coily]

NHL refs are the worst in sports.

Blatant trip, just excused because the Islanders are down a goal late. The Islanders come down and score right after.

edit: ^^^ Exactly.

What a joke.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'm not watching the game, but I am reading that there was a missed trip. The refs like to swallow the whistles late in close games. A penalty is a penalty, regardless of the situation.

 

[nabbyfan]

Thats absolutely horrific officiating. Let the team trailing by a goal get away with anything because its the last minute of the game, they come back and tie it up.

Florida fans have a serious gripe here...Refs could have cost them this series if they lose this game. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[USF Shark]

Another blatant hauling down of a Panther. Just terrible

Trip on Trochek was the obvious one, but it didn't have a huge effect since he already passed the puck back to Ekblad who still had a good lane. The trip on Reilly, I'd let it go since it looked like he got the puck first.

 

[Limekiller]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Florida management formally protests the game if they end up losing the game and series. They won't win, but that was an utterly indefensible non-call that directly led to the Islanders being able to go down and score. That penalty gets called, Florida wins this and it goes to game 7. There won't be any practical result of a formal protest, but it will certainly be bad press for the league.

Sure it would have. The play would have been blown dead once an Islanders player touched it, and the Islanders would have played without a goalie 5v5.

I meant that it didn't outright stop him from scoring an empty net goal like others are saying.

Okay, gotcha. Still, that was an awful missed call. I'm not being biased, either.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

And Islanders move on. Islanders or Tampa in the ECF

 

[JackSkellington]

Tavares is so sick, panthers season over

 

[Episkey]

Wow Tavares.
