I'm kinda falling off the EK wagon. Feels like we have more systemic issues than he can solve.
I'd be so hot if I were a VGK fan. I get that it's part of the game, and you shouldn't have given up 4 goals on the major, but that was a 2 minute call and it completely changed that series.
Reffing in this league is an absolute sham.
They need to change the rules. They call the outcome of a play rather than the actual play.My biggest problem is that there was no initial call on the play, they let it go until they realized Pavelski wasn't getting up, then saw that he was bleeding, then was like "oh **** we should call something."

Vegas probably advances if Pavelski doesn't get cut while hitting the ice.If something is missed in the middle of a play you can't retroactively make a call. Either make the call on the initial play or don't, yes Pavelski was hurt - stop the play and get him help, but to make a call after seeing the extent of injury is just stupid.
Might sound nuts but I would MUCH rather get swept then lose the way Vegas did. That’s just absolutely gut wrenching, that would take a seriously long time to get over (especially if it’s a finals game). It’s games like that which make me question if fandom is worth all the heartache. But who am I kidding i’m in too deep now, i’m sure a fatal heart attack lays ahead. Yay sports! Damn you! So anyway i’m for pretty much anyone but Boston and Washington. Go west coast teams!!
It is an interesting world where Kyle Dubas gets criticized now. Babcock was already there, but at least this morning when I checked, a bunch of fans were calling on him to be fired.I think I'd rather not be the Leafs though. That has to be maddening. At least we're getting a gut check. They are just permanently almost there, and losing to Boston that many times in a row would piss me off so much.
I think it's sick. No one even had these guys in the 'offs. Gimme a Jackets Hurricanes ECFLmao. Hurricanes-Islanders is the grossest playoff series I've ever seen.
On one hand - wonderful game, and well deserved for Carolina. They were the better team in OT and hung around long enough to take control of the game.
OTOH - the Bruins are now the runaway Cup favorites. This nightmare postseason is only becoming more of a reality.
