Certain avatars show up and you know it's over.Wise. They dont' call it the "purple plague" for nothing. lol. I spend most of last night's game dealing with part 1 of that monstrosity
and now part 2 is closed. They got their wish. Another Sid scandal buried by the ROOT sports street team.
It's almost insulting the NHL didn't at least "have a phone call". Could you at least try to keep the basis questionable?
Funny considering Ovie and some other Caps have been getting hammered on way lesser Slashes lately. Not saying the Caps weren't getting them in the hands, but how does this two hander on the puck carrier not get called?I thought so.
Just thinking how the referees can even miss a call like that? They saw the slash and they saw the result.
Wondering that because this isn't a call you have to make within an inch of a second. You can shove that chopped finger in the refs face as long as you want and at any point the referee should have no other option than to make the call.
I mean do that and what's the referee going to say to justify the non-call? That the piece of finger must have came off from dumping the puck in?
Exactly the kind of stuff i hate with this league. They have a rulebook but the referees don't have to follow it. Propably the only thing i hate more is announcer saying that ''Capitals just had 3 straight PP's, so the next call is going to go against them'' (looking at you, Laughlin). Sadly that seems to be the truth usually these days though.
'Game management'. Can't wait to see the day these zebras are replaced with robots that make sure the players decide the result.
The NHL's front office will have to be gutted before any reasonable change can be made. A lot of the same idiots that were going off the deep end about integrity and other nonsense when Wideman ran into the linesmen are the same ones that were saying 10 games was too much for the Duck player.
