Vegas, 4 goals on 6 shots
We switched the channel during a commercial, come back and it's 4-0 halfway through the first, wtf!? Had to go back and watch the goals

Watching Edmonton NOT get a top 3 pick is like watching the Hawks win the Cup for me now. Seriously.
Man am I relieved.
But, wow...Carolina Whalers really struck lightning to move up that many spots.

Before outrage over that disallowed Horny goal, I need to point to this rather informative take on puck angles...

So, I think the League made the right call there to disallow the Pens goal.

Good call & outcome.

It wasn't an illusion, it was over the line with white between it before they tried to cover it up, either way, I was much more pissed off about the non-call on the deliberate head shot on Dumolin by Tom WIlson, the dude is a virus and should not be in the league..
I didn't see the part under the video on my phone when I responded. Darn small screens.
It was a good game & I'm glad Vegas finally lost, their fans must have been thinking, playoffs aren't so hard.
lol
Sorry about last night, I was hoping you would sweep.

Yeah, I didn't expect a sweep, I just hope we can recover with the loss of a top D-Man (to a despicable headshot) and hopefully get a couple of our other injured players back, because our depth is really lacking currently with Malkin and Haggy out
Oilers fired/reassigned all of their assistant coaches. Todd McLellan is still head coach.
I'm happy with their decisions regarding keeping Todd and the firings. Not happy about reassigning some of them. If they suck, get them out.

^ Yeah I don't understand that, if they're not good at their job, get rid of them, why reassign them and keep them in the organization?

No hearing for Tom Wilson for his deliberate shot to the head.... This league is a fucking joke, they care nothing about player safety, I'm not surprised, yet it still makes me shake my head...

Pretty much. Saw a headline briefly (swiped it away) on how the guy hides the fish behind his back under his Preds sweater and also partly down his pants.

Yeah there needed to be some sort of penalty for that. Couldn't believe nothing was done.

So I am a big supported of keeping the big hits in hockey. They can be game changing at times. I have given and taken my share of them when I played hockey as well. That all being said though the hit by Wilson last night is not needed in the game. Those are the ones that need to be removed from the game. That was a dirty hit through and through. The fact there was no penalty makes it even worse. If the league is going to take player safety seriously he needs to be gone for a minimum of 2 game and maybe more. The Penguins player I don't even remember the name has a broken jaw and a concussion directly from that hit.
The game didn't need that hit. It was already an intense even game with great back and forth hockey. It is going to be a great series.

Everyone was picking the Preds in the final, but I honestly want to see a Vegas v Jets conf final, that would be one hell of a 7 game series!

So the league announced that DBag WIlson will have a hearing, if they suspend him now they'd have to admit that he's a headhunter, so my guess is they'll just fine him which won't do shit since he's out there deliberately trying to hurt people, but we shall see. If he gets any suspension, it won't be more than 1 game...

Yep, sadly if they would have given him a game or even a hearing after the last hit on Dumoulin, Aston-Reese might not have had his season ended by this douche...
Going to the game tonight, Go Pens! :gheywave:
