Prophet Zacharia Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share #101 Posted April 26, 2019 9 hours ago, Square Wheels said: The Bruins killed it first period, fell apart in the second and the start of the third, then did OK the rest of the third and OT. Columbus did not play like a team that swept the best team in the league. This usually makes me nervous that a good team reviews their mistakes and come roaring back. We'll see. 9 days off between games is tough to get back into the pace and intensity of real game play, particularly playoff intensity. That CBJ were able to find their legs by the second period and take it to OT is a good omen for a competitive series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a hockey afficiando, so I have no idea. The announcers seemed to think it might be interference at the time, but I have also read where Esa Lindell has a history of flopping? Which is right?

It was a shove. Lindell is known for flopping around like a European soccer player so the refs let it go and he flailed trying to draw a penalty. Diving is not well regarded in hockey circles and what he does is embarrassing.

Zephyr Posted May 2, 2019 Share #124 Posted May 2, 2019 I only saw the last five minutes of the game. I will try to find the slash to see if I can explain it. Chances are they missed it. Because of the skating, it is an incredibly fast sport and with big bodies in confined space itbis possible they did not see it. There are two refs, but one watches the area the puck is, the other watches in front of the net if if their view was blocked....., but let me see if I can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just was not called right at the time, the refs had to huddle up. Happened right at the end of the second. Bishop got hit in the back with the blade of a stick while he was out of goal. Then at the end of the penalty, Bennington skated down and hit Bishop in the head from behind. Jamie Benn retaliated and the third started with two Blues and one Star in the box. Stars played a good game and frustrated the Blues defense, which led to it getting a bit chippy at times. No love loss at all between these two teams. Ifs and buts, but if Dallas would not have given away game 3, this series would be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even shoukd have been. There is not a lot of padding there on a goalie, but I promise it does not hurt as mucb as Bishop indicated. Often there is a lot of 'stick contact' and the refs wont call it unless it affects the play, causes the puck to be mishandled, skater loses stride, breaks a stick, that sort of thing. The fly by tap from the Blues should have been called (IMO) as but it was not as bad as it looked. Having said that, as part time goalie, I woukd have taken a number and let him know I knew who it was the next time he came near my net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My third round is up in the air, I can end up 1 for 4 (if Avs and Stars win) or as high as 3 for 4. In my hockey pool I picked the Sharks to make it to the third round and drafted a ton of their players. If they win game seven, with all the upsets in the first round I will be in good shape to win the money. If they lose, I may be able to limp into third if the next two rounds go low scoring.
