GDT: Playoffs 2019 (We weren't invited)

[Fighter]

Gardiner a glorious -3 in game 7, listening to Leafs fans he sounded like the second coming of Bobby Orr, what happened?

The hockey gods do not like blasphemy. That’s what happened.

 

[Mr Rogers]

The Leafs are turning into the early to mid 2000s Senators

 

[AngelDuck]

Looking good for our pick

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Fleury has been good.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Sharks actually look better through 40. Knights have been opportunistic and Fleury has saved their bacon.

 

[Paul4587]

Ha. Suck it Leafs fans.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

And that's probably ball game. Only fitting that it's an absolute got-to-have level 1 softie from Martin Jones.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Jones blows

Thanks for the jinx.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Thanks for the jinx.

No prob. But boy that looked terrible for Pavelski. Really hope he's OK.

EDIT: I was just about to say the Sharks fans have been complaining about their PP the entire game, but of course they scored in 6 seconds.

 

[ADHB]

This probably isn’t a popular opinion, but that’s not a penalty.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Gonna be a long 5.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

It's a 2 minute minor for crosschecking IMO. Certainly should not have been a 5 and a game.

 

[2faded]

Bullshit call

Things like that happen every shift. The refs clearly didn’t see what happened. You can’t make a call like that based on what happened to the player. If it’s 5 and a game you better be damn sure you know what happened.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Sharks fans are obnoxious (they used to have a fan here called Jesus Toews who was completely obsessed with the Ducks) and I’ve always thought the Sharks get calls/non-calls at the best times in the playoffs. Combine that with wanting to see Theo and Wild Bill excel in the league, this is an easy one for me. Go Vegas!

Pumping my own tires a bit

 

[70sSanO]

I’m willing to bet they thought he checked him in the face. They will never ever admit they didn’t see it and gave a 5 and a game.

This is so fcked

Agree with this. If anything Stastny got him on the follow through with the body check more than Eakin did (even though I thought he got the arms extended).

And my goodness, how that swung the momentum.

 

[Static]

This is insane! Fleury needs to make a damn save, wow.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

The league will withdraw the game misconduct. As if it matters now.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

That was atrocious.

 

[AngelDuck]

The refs helped them but the Sharks are the better team, other than the goalie situation

Just bad luck. Pavelski slammed his head on the ice from a very minor push, which MAYBE you could justify a 2 minute minor.

They clearly didn’t see what happened, because if they did it wouldn’t have been called the way it was. As it stands, they may have gifted the Sharks a series win.
