GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/16/20 | some early starts again today

[Sam Spade]

I agree that people complain about the refs too much but I will say this Bruins game is a joke with reffing against the Bruins. And if you go through my post history for the past 12 years, you'll see I almost never complain about refs and usually do what you're doing and complain about people complaining about the refs.

I made a deal with myself years ago when I started playing I would never complain about reffing and for the most part, unless it is insanely obvious, I have stuck to it.

My reasoning, 98% of the time (and that is pretty damn good) the right team wins, the calls even up, and justice will always prevail. Today the Bruins won so it worked again (if you feel the Bruins were victims of missed calls).

p.s. Full disclosure, I don't think the refs are as bad as the loudest voices here do so maybe that is part of my take on this. I also love when the refs just let them play.

I haven’t been watching. That’s why I was asking. Just looking at the infractions it seemed hard to see how they would’ve messed that one up, but it seems they did.

It started bad early with missed calls on a Pastrnak breakaway and Carlo hooked someone pretty good but from the 2nd period on it was very score-dictated game management. It got NBC and the crowd into it which was the point... Bruins win, on to the next one.

Canes Oilers getting chippy

 

[Whoot Whoot]

y'all have watched too much NESN

Zebras missed an obvious hook and a blatant pick by Rat in the first period - if you think that Krug penalty wasn't an actual penalty there is nothing left to say

 

[KidLine93]

Oilers playing with fire taking 2 tripping penalties in the offensive zone

 

[dogbazinho]

Svech thrown the ice no call.

It’s been a good game.

 

[Mentallydull]

Svech thrown the ice no call.

Then he swings his stick into Benning's face and no call.

Refs are playing this extremely loose.

 

[KidLine93]

Cave seemed to have no idea who tripped that guy while also having no idea where his stick went. Figure it out man

 

[Mentallydull]

Our 4th line trying to lose the game.

Your list is rather short compared to that of your opponent. The Krug infraction was a clear penalty, no debate.

Let's hope this Nashville-Blues game has some fireworks.

Call on Krug was a good call, Crosscheck on Marchand alone was a mystery

Great play by Slavin at the last second there to save a goal.

Didn’t the puck go off the post and out?

Wide open net, thought that was going in for sure.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Jamie Benn is a bum

 

[BruinLVGA]

What was the issue with the Krejci double minor?

Like even the TV crew mentioned, Lindgren got slashed on a follow-through. Unfortunate, but not a penalty.

Looked like Slavin got his stick on the puck at the same time that Sheahan shot it though I could be mistaken.

 

[Mentallydull]

Saw that goal coming, Canes have been coming on strong and Oilers have been struggling to stay alive.

 

[KidLine93]

Oilers trying to hang on. Canes coming in waves. Great game by Aho so far

 

[snipes]

Saw that goal coming, Canes have been coming on strong and Oilers have been struggling to stay alive.

Built momentum off of the power play time the Canes have had in the 3rd.

 

[KidLine93]

Oilers needed that to get to OT. They were on the verge of another one

 

[snipes]

What a play defensively by Nurse

 

[snipes]

How was that not a penalty? Lol

 

[KidLine93]

Refs blew a tripping call there. Drai still makes them pay

 

[syz]

Never thought I'd see Josh Archibald ever dominate an NHL team but okay.
