Around The NHL - 2013/14 Season - pt. II - "MAK Likes The Nuge" Edition

[L'Aveuglette]

What was the Nuge thinking on that?

It was a risky move but he did get punched in the back of the head. If that was a Sens player you can bet the ref would've blown his whistle.

Toronto just keeps winning.

 

[YNWA14]

Your hate for him is lolable.

Blatant non-call on Franson.

I have no hate for RNH, but what exactly was the non-call on? RNH was leaning forward and got a glancing push that sent him sprawling. If that happened to Spezza and Spezza just sat there he would have been crucified.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Toronto is impressive.

Loilers

Refs find a way to help the Leafs again.

No kidding. Nice hook and punch to the back in OT, by the Leafs.

Of course, the Refs missed it...and let the Leafs break out 3 on 1.

Cherry....knows it's a penalty....but says, "let's not get into that".

It wasn't a glancing push, he got punched in the back of the head. Only in Toronto would any player(well, a Leafs player) get away with that in OT.

 

[Ouroboros]

They have an excellent roster. Very deep at all positions.

They just showed it like 3 times. It was glancing and off his back. It never touched his head.

I stand corrected then.

 

[littleD]

Definitely not to his head, but definitely more a punch than shove.

 

[Senscore]

Let's just say if Conacher did it, he would get called.

 

[MtRundle]

Leafs are deep offensively have 2 top lines. if they're D holds up they'll give B's and P's a run for the top in the East

Yeah, but if you think they're going to call that in overtime against any team that isn't Ottawa it would be a stretch. RNH just needs to be stronger on his skates there, and then not sit on the ice for 5 seconds complaining after.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter because until Edmonton can get a goalie that stops a beach-ball whether it's 3 on 1 or 1 on 3 they're going to struggle.

Is Dubnyk the worst nhl goalie?

Actually, they would call that against any other team besides Toronto, and maybe Montreal as well were it in their town.

 

[Senscore]

Really hope they go for Bryzgalov. But I can honestly see him wanting to stay in Vegas in the ECHL than the NHL in Edmonton.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

I takes more than 5 games before I go handing that one out.

 

[DJB]

Regardless if it was the head or not, it should have been called.

Leafs are getting the calls this year for sure.

 

[Benjamin]

Dubnyk has been terrible for a lot more than 5 games.

 

[BonkTastic]

Is Dubnyk the worst nhl goalie?

Worst starting goalie? Probably. Easily in the upper echelon of garbage goalies... like, if you're making a lost of the worst three, Dubnyk's name is going on there in pen, not pencil.

Emery might be in the discussion.

That's a good point. I'm curious what your post would look like if the same thing had happened to Spezza.

Probably something along the lines of him getting a "lashing in the dressing room", no doubt.

 

[bacon25]

Is Dubnyk the worst nhl goalie?

Consistently YES!!! He is what is keeping them from the playoffs. Edmonton should have won that game.

 

[DJB]

Dubnyk is terrible, always has, always will. If the Oilers are ever going to make the playoffs, they need better goaltending for sure.

 

[QuietOnTheFront]

Yikes Canucks let in a stinker. That's embarrassing.
