GDT: St. Louis Blues vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

[Wiems35*]

Oh man, thought we had one there.

 

[Lord Helix]

That was an ugly hit on Porter.

I love how Cole played Bennet there. Didn't give him an inch.

 

[Robb_K]

Oshie all alone right in front. He lifted the puck, but not high enough to get it into the empty upper right corner. He had a LOT of room to bury that! 1 Should be 2-1 Blues.

Reaves has been playing really well, along with LaPierre. Another good shot by Reaves.

That was an ugly hit on Porter.

Looked like Porter turned into it, but do you see that not being called if it was on a player like Crosby, Stamkos or Kane?

not trying to be a **** quoting you twice but here is a great quote pertaining to NHL officiating,

"With the amount of complaining about officiating, from fans of every team after basically every game, you would think people would eventually realize that the only thing consistent about officiating in the NHL is inconsistency." - ThirdManIn

Apparently, we haven't been introduced. I'm blue bleeder 24-7 (a name I chose when I was 13, don't read too much into that name), and I believe the NHL is rigging things for what they thin will produce optimum profitability.

The moment where I decided this is here:



And here would be the post where I unloaded on HF:

I love the sport more than I hate the league, and to be honest, I think tonight's been... unaffected so far. This opinion isn't off tonights game, but rather, the NHL's actions in big games where clearly the wrong call is made, and clearly in favor of a team that the NHL will profit more from in this situations.

I haven't noticed cole much and that's not a bad thing. When he's playing his best, he's playing simple and eliminating his mistakes.

 

[Wiems35*]

Well, Bouwmeester just did the same thing to Crosby that Orpik did to Backes. If they're letting it go both ways, I'm fine with it.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I'd love to see Frank put Malkin on his ass as payback fro that hit early. And as I say that Engelland throws an uncalled elbow on Schwartz.

 

[Lord Helix]

Schwartz with 3-4 great plays in a row without the puck.

 

[Lord Helix]

Craig Adams has great defensive stick-work.

 

[Robb_K]

Another big save by Fleury on Backes, this time. The Blues should be ahead 4-2 if it weren't for big saves on both sides.

 

[542365]

Did Fleury make that save with his mask?

 

[STL BLUES]

Oshie looked hurt when he went off?

 

[Wiems35*]

Shatty!!!!!!! (or Vladdy!!!!!)

 

[Alklha]

Vladdy with a tip!

 

[superblues]

Shatty sneaks one in!

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

Shatty!

 

[Colt 55]

Whoooohooo

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Did Fleury make that save with his mask?

That's what I was thinking. That puck came off of him way too fast to have hit his chest protector, and I didn't hear it hit iron.

Holy Jumpin what a weak one from Fleury! Based on Frank's reaction, I think he got it.

 

[PocketNines]

THAT'S the Fleury I know.

 

[Lord Helix]

Frank gets the tip with Malkin defending!

 

[timtindall]

tarasenko!!or shatty! no matter what a goal and a lead!!

 

[542365]

Vlady with a tip!

 

[BlueBeard]

So much for the no fist bumps
