Out of Town Thread Part XVI: Gotta love Game 7 action

[waffledave]

I'd still take Kadri on the Habs.

 

[Habs]

Probably one of the worst calls I've seen , f***ing ever. Vegas got hosed.
On the bright side, Toronto is out.

 

[Deebs]

I'd still take Kadri on the Habs.

He's a solid #2C

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yes, it was bad call. But Vegas had a 3-1 series lead and should've ended it at home and didn't.

They gave up 4 goals on a 5 minute PP. That's insane! 4 goals.

Ultimately, they tied the game and still lost in OT.

I don't feel bad for LV at all. Every organization has gotten screwed in the playoffs. Last year, was a cinderella season. This year the fans learn pain & heartbreak. It's all part of the process.

 

[overlords]

I'd still take Kadri on the Habs.

He's a little puke but you know a guy like him would play balls out for his childhood team. Can only imagine how much gallagher+kadri+domi would drive other teams crazy.

that being said, not sure I want someone who is about one game misconduct away from entering Chris Simon suspension length territory.

 

[Mrb1p]

Blow a 3-1 series lead
Blow a 3-0 lead
Give up 4 PP goals in 4 minutes

Getting hosed

Chose one

 

[teamfirst]

how many times you ever seen 4 goals on a 5 min penalty all the time you watched hockey?

1 or 2 ok...but 4?

Cant remember any, may have happen but i've been watching Hockey all my life and i cant remember anything close to it

 

[JianYang]

Am I the only one who enjoyed the game more before the brutal call? It completely ruined the game for me, even if Vegas would've killed it.. The comeback thing was spectacular, but stained by the ****ty call.

The ref was reacting To the guy on the ice. He called a penalty he didnt saw . Brutal

The only way someone could have enjoyed the game before the call was if that someone was a Vegas fan.

The game was dead and buried, with no suspense before that call.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I see nothing wrong with what happened, just a freak accident.
If this is what roughing is then Boston should play the entire game on a PK.

Did you actually see the crosscheck? That should normally be an easy call. No need and definitely wasn't a light crosscheck. Not 5 minutes, but still, you're right about the end result.

 

[Adriatic]

It was a horrible call but it's hard to put it all on the ref. If they review this play and he has a chance to see it again, at most it's 2 min penalty and it's the end of the story. These things happen so fast, practically impossible for the ref to correctly see exactly what happened.

 

[teamfirst]

It deserved 2 for sure.....5 was excessive

At the end of the day, you’re not suppose to let in 4 goals on 1 major.....I mean, has any ever witnessed that ever??....especially in the playoffs......Vegas does not deserve to win that series.

Lol, i'm sure if it was MB's team unstead of Vegas giving those 4 goals Paul would be posting the same words you just posted

 

[Stive Morgan]

Just finished re-watching the entire Game 7. Just now realizing how incredible SJ's roster is. Burns, Karlsson, Couture, Hertl, Meier, and Labanc are all insanely good players.

Absolutely disgusting lost for the Golden Knights yesterday.

I’m heading to the Leafs board to cheer me up.

I believe Labanc is the odd man out soon.

Also, San Jose's drafting is f***ing mint. They have no picks, but still produce talent better than the habs do.

 

[teamfirst]

I'd still take Kadri on the Habs.

It may well be the first time it happen...... but i completly agree with you on that one

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Meier and Labanc looks good. I envy the Sharks.

Here we are still trying to convince ourself that Drouin hasn't took off because apparently he's still young at 24 while Meier and Labanc are showing great progression at the same age or younger.

At some point a guy has to be learning from is mistake, maybe next year would be the start of the new Nazem ''mature'' Kadri

The problem with calling this one a penalty is, while it probably meet the definition of a cross-check, there's about 229 hits like that in a hockey game.
(Of course, in the long run, players would discipline themselves. And, of course, here, the penalty came about because of the result, not the play itself. More obviously, no team should allow 4 goals on a 5-min PK)

Not after a faceoffs though. I think the time where a hits is made is very important. Ref letting players battle for position in front of the net is fine. Same for the corners as long as there's no boarding. But this kind of hits after the faceoffs have no place in hockey imo.

 

[DangerDave]

Bad call but I'm glad SJ got through. Can't stand Vegas especially now that they have casperetty who just now decided hes gonna try in the playoffs.

Also, you deserve to lose if you surrender 4 goals on a single PK

 

[Kriss E]

Did you actually see the crosscheck? That should normally be an easy call. No need and definitely wasn't a light crosscheck. Not 5 minutes, but still, you're right about the end result.

I did ya, saw a million replays of it. I'm not denying there was a crosscheck, I'm saying it was a one no different than all the other ones they let go during the games. If Pavelski steps back up from this, they don't call anything, just like they never had their arm raised. They saw the blood and Pavelski out of this world, that's why they gave him a 5.

I disagree, there's just as much bad stuff going on in a FO battle than in the corners or the front of the net, if not even more.
I think you need to rewatch the play, Eakin just shoved him out of the way man, players do that all the time. Pavelski was off balance, it's the only reason why it resulted in this freak accident.
He didn't crosscheck him to the face, or throat, slash his hands, slewfoot him, or anything out of the ordinary.

I re-watched the play many times. Let's just agree to disagree. I hated those kind of cross check when i played and i still hate them. I remember once punching a guy in the face after a cross check like that on my arm (the guy was notorious for his cheap shots when the ref was not looking). I got a 2 and the other player nothing cause according to the ref it was not a big cross check. My arm was still hurting 2 days after the hit.

 

[UVMCats]

Feel sorry for Trawna and their fans !


Nope

 

[Habs Halifax]

They also don't have as much forward depth as they think they do, especially on wings. I thought Johnsson and Kapanen played really soft. Not good in the corners, along the boards or willing to battle in front of the net.

They're great in open ice. The other problem is they lack playmaking and vision. Matthews was the one going in deep retrieving the puck then trying to set them up.

Matthews really needed a playmaker on his wing (i.e Nylander), so he could be the scoring option, but Babs couldn't do that because stupid ass Kadri got himself suspended AGAIN. He needed Nylander as a center.

Only bottom 6 forward I was impressed with was Moore.

On D, Rielly is great. Muzzin is good on the 2nd pairing and they need him because he's the only one with a physical game.

Dermott is not top 4. Idk if he ever gets there.

So they need 2 top 4D. A rhd with Rielly. A rhd with Muzzin. And a lhd for Dermott. Only 3 worth keeping, although they're probably stuck with Zaitsev.

Lili is definitely not ready. Don't know about Sandin, but they'll need both to make it.

I actually think Benn would be a good add for them to play with Dermott. He's basically a Muzzin lite.

Benn is a solid option for any team. He can play both LD or RD and fill in a top 4D role (limited role) if you need him in case of injuries. There will be several teams wanting to sign him for $2M or less AAV and he will have options based on the season he just had.

 

[Adriatic]

It wasn't even a true cross check really, it was more of a push or shove than anything else.
