NHL 15-16 Regular Season Thread: F I R E _ T H E R R I E N

What you mean overturn a goal that shouldn't have counted?

step 1. other team scors a goal that pretty much seals your fate
step 2. better look at the tape and find some ticky tack shit
step 3. you'll find something 99% of the time
step 4. call it out specifically so the review team can't say no even if it's ticky tack as fuck

it'd probaly be harder to find a sequence leading to a goal where there wasn't an offsides, high stick, tap from behind, contact with the goalie, etc.

holding on every play, etc

A missed offsides is pretty bad. It's not like challenging a missed penalty call.

[Judai]

This offside was weak, I'm guessing you didn't see it. Williams was standing on the line, one skate in, one out, and lifted the skate that was out, half a second before the puck fully crossed. He gained no advantage, and the goal wasn't scored off the entry/rush. There is a big difference between this and the Flyers goal, on the rush, with a guy clearly a foot or more offside.



the goal, after time to completely set-up in the zone, clearly not affected by Williams lifting his skate .03s early. I eget that it is technically the correct call, but come on man.

Leafs got fucked on the exact same play a week or so ago. Someone was offside by the width of a skate blade and they called back a goal that happened over a minute after entry into the zone. Pretty sure it was against Dallas, Lindy challenged the goal.

BK, honest question...do you really think I whine more than these two?

The rules are there, he was offside. MLB does the same thing with instant replays, where the fielder will hold the tag when the player slides in just incase the baserunner gets off the bag for a split second.

[Judai]

Nynja, you whine more then me, BK and Jornaa in the past, combined, and over shit that is clearly wrong. I said, it was obviously the "right" call.

Rangers have played a surprisingly good third period thus far

Correct. Being pissed that something is a ticktack call doesn't mean it's wrong.

[Judai]

some slick passing from Wily and MoJo, and Nick just smashing it home.

[BadKarma]

Seven in a row and 9-0-1 in the last ten.


And we haven't played particularly well in any of them.


Good enough seems to be the buzzword for the Rangers thus far

[Obsidian]

Speaking of good enough, pretty good game from the Leafs so far.

[Obsidian]

And holy fuck they have Pierre back on the TSN panel.

This Bruins team can't win at home for the life of them

someone should set fire to your stadium so they play every game "on the road", instant Cup parade.

[Obsidian]

Ugh.

Ovechkin is going to score 5 against the Flames tomorrow night, it's inevitable. Flames playing in Tampa tonight, gotta fly out to DC to play the Caps tomorrow.

when asked if it's frustrating to have the last 2 goals disallowed, Ovi just said it was going to be nice to score tomorrow in front of the home fans, and his family, who is all going to be there.

[Obsidian]

That's a real soft hooking call on Grabner.

[BadKarma]

The leafs really don't want Austin Matthews
