Series Thread: 2016-17 Stanley Cup Final Nashville Predators vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

[Darkstone42]

That was a pretty goal.

Awful from the call to take away the goal to that terrible 5-3.

Then again it's the Pens so the Preds are playing 8 on 5 to start with

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Well, that's game one

 

[Chris p Bacon]

Because they overturned the goal on an offsides? Because the rule is stupid, but they got it right, ultimately. Or because they called two obvious penalties? (And the one on Kneel was so stupid to take.)

All of the above, They were all iffy calls, of course I don't expect you to be very objective.

Hey Sheary with stick down for once.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Nashville commits the stupidest fucking penalty I have ever seen in a Finals
And they want to whine about refs???

The 2nd penalty deserved to have a goal scored when a player is that dumb as KARMA for being brainfreeze.
All rights to complain are out the door if you are stupid on the ice.

If you play smart, you wont be a victim of 50/50 calls.

There was a trip away from the puck. It was significant because it took away a passing option in a premium scoring area. They often call retaliatory cross-checks. There's nothing wrong with the refs actually doing their jobs in a game for once.

Sorry man, but that first penalty didn't look all that obvious to me

It's a tough call, but there was a trip, skate on skate.

See I'm not the only one who saw it that way.

 

[Darkstone42]

That is a super tough bounce for the Preds. Good play by Bonino to get it toward the net, though.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Oh you're kidding me...

 

[obxyankeefan]

Yeah, but @Used 2 B Hu is still waiting for the judges to score the triple axel.

Bonino Bonino Ekholm

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

That escalated quickly.

They still have those in international hockeyball?

That escalated quickly.

I tune into one of the few NHL games I'll watch this season and a freaking 2017 NBA playoffs game break out

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm okay with that period.

Also, Malkin's goal had some serious heat on it. Rinne reacted immediately. The puck just beat his glove to the spot. Incredible.

 

[podsox]

Dude was prob offsides but no clue how they were able to overturn it. Either way you can't lose your composure like the preds did

 

[bksballer89]

Totally different game if that Predators goal does not get overturned. I don't watch Hockey enough to say if it was a good or bad reversal but based on what NBC showed, I don't think they had clear enough evidence to overturn it.
