GDT: 2016-17 NHL Playoffs Thread IV - Pittsburgh wins the Stanley Cup

[bobbyorr04]

I absolutely cant believe in this day and age in the NHL a linesman who could clearly see everything can't overrule and obvious TERRIBLE whistle like that in the stanley cup final. That is absolute horse **** and this league is looking worse every game that goes by. Like come the **** on when will they wise up?

You can challenge an offside call that is within millimetres but not something like that? Laughable.

Totally agree with this.

Second quick whistle this game that favored the Pens. Second one was from a guy totally out of position and had no reason to blow it dead as early as he did. Cost the Preds a goal. Not sure what needs to be done to improve the pathetic reffing in this league, but something needs to be done. It is incredibly bad.

They could start by being "Unbiased" toward certain teams and/or players.

Penguin's fans on the main board think if the whistle didn't blow their d would have cleared that. Lol

They think a lot of cute things over there.

Totally agree. Bettman comes on talking about getting in right, like the ****** monster he is. Frig if that is the case, teams should be able to challenge everything else, which I don't agree with either but to call back offsides by a millimetre so they can get it right, and then let blatantly obvious stuff go (like tonight) I just dunno...

Pens about to lift the cup for the repeat

**** off

Grasping at straws with this.

 

[Lockheed]

Ew..

 

[TP]

Add another log onto the hatred fire for Pittsburgh.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Kessel with 2 cups. Dammit lol

 

[Boston Bruno]

**** off

Grasping at straws with this.

What a crappy way to win a cup..

 

[rkwittem]

This league is a joke. It's almost NBA bad.

 

[TP]

This is ********

 

[KrazyLegs]

I hate the NHL. I really do.

They should've just given the Pens the Cup at the beginning of the Finals. That's what they wanted.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Meh. Another unhappy off-season

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

With how bad the league wanted the Pens to win the cup, they sure gave them a lot of PP's this game

 

[rkwittem]

Do you mean the way the Pens had ZERO POWER PLAYS tonight, or are you just referencing the quick whistle?

Is it possible that NSH committed zero penalties? Or did you already rule that out?

 

[Lockheed]

Congrats Kansas City! On to the drafts folks.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Nashville didn't do themselves any favors with another goose egg. Despite the disallowed goal

 

[ranold26]

Pathetic really.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Is it possible that NSH committed zero penalties? Or did you already rule that out?

Since when does a team need to commit a penalty to be put on the penalty kill?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Happy for MOC

 

[Cronuss]

Wow, tied 1-1. When does OT start?

Wait, she did the Pred pull their goalie in a tied game? Wtf?

 

[The Hajj]

Is it possible that NSH committed zero penalties? Or did you already rule that out?

If you really believe that is true, you are hopelessly lost in hatred of PIT or blind.

I'm a Bruins fan and a hockey fan. Yes, the NHL officiating is poor, but nobody can honestly argue that tonight's game was called in PIT's favor. No way at all.

 

[Scruffy]

Nashville's powerplay was awful and it killed them
