The Official NHL Thread

[Shallow]

The Nhl officiating is seriously the worst its ever been in these playoffs.The calls are so random with no consistency.They dont call blatant penalties then call some shit that makes no sense.Ive never seen the officiating this bad before.

And you know it's all Bettman trying to orchestrate his kind of final. I didn't see the Caps series. Were the refs trying hard to make sure OV made it through?

That stick to the face of Howard in OT after the whistle wasn't horrible or anything but I garaunte if it was Detroit doing it to Nabakov it'd be 2 minutes. The final two minutes of the game for Detroit to be on a penalty kill was so stupid. I don't really care personally. I may be a Wings fan but not like I used to be. What I hope the NHL understands is these BS calls hurt the game more than getting the right teams to face off help the game.

Honestly,i hate bettman with a passion.i dont know how that man has a job.Lets face it,the nhl survives strictly because of canada.But he whores the nhl out to the americans every whim.NBC said they didnt want any canadian teams in the winter classic games and so,no canadian teams are there.When that guy wanted to move the coyotes to hamilton he fought tooth and nail to stop canada gaining another team.But when a canadian team gets moved to america he makes the process goes smoothly.Even though most american teams couldnt sell out a game if their lives depending on it.

As far as the montreal series goes,I can honestly say the calls were decisively in favour of washington.hell the calls against the canucks in the playoffs has many people screaming conspiracy.

Yeah, at least now they are starting to put more of the younger refs in the playoff games.  It's always the really old ass refs that make the fucked up calls and non-calls.   One of them retired this year..  (Kerry Fraser)

On the flipside, Ryan Johnson is dressed for tonight's Canucks game!

And once againm,horrible reffing.

What has to happen for a goaltender interference penalty have to be called for the canucks?

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

This is some shady defending going on...  Bieksa, Obrien.... 

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

The Duster with a hat trick, who woulda thought that shit... smh.

[Jaydc]

Canucks should take notes from the blackhawks on how to run the goalie and protect a lead.Hawks have been in luongos face all series and i ahvent seen any canuck touch nieme.
