Which would be irritating as hell if the Sharks end up getting there after that BS 5-minute major that basically revived them from the dead against Vegas. They're a handful for the Avs right now, that's for sure. [Reply]
I checked out on the playoffs after my Knights got robbed. I've had some rough days following the Chiefs but that night was just sickening. I wish nothing but doom for them damn Sharks. It's a complete farce that they are still in this competition, it really is. Yes, it should have never even got to a game seven, but man, the luck they had was unbelievable In the last two games.

In the playoffs, High sticking or a hit to the head are the only calls that are always straight with no make-up call. Interference, tripping, etc... seem to be a see-saw with an associated "make-up call".
Different than the NFL, where they only seem to make game changing calls or non-calls in the playoffs. [Reply]

Games 5 and 7 are at Enterprise. 52 years of excuses need to end. [Reply]

I was pretty rattled in game 3 when they didn't have him on the ice at the end of the game with the goalie pulled. I honestly think he is the Avs best defenseman RIGHT NOW, offensively I like him more than Barrie.
Yeah maybe I wouldn't give him the toughest defensive matchup on home ice if I'm dictating the matchups or defensive zone starts but man he is a special player. He could end up being a top 5 defenseman in the NHL. [Reply]
