Series Thread: Blue Jackets vs Pens - or "the battle to end stupid seeding rules"

[sbb122]

Has the NHL ruled on this for certain? I can't find any news on it.

Not yet, speculation from "insiders" is it will be a fine at most.

hearing now for Calvert.. the breakdown


1. a stupid and dangerous thing thing well away from any hockey play
2. DOPeS "fair bump, play on"
3. entire hockey world "are you fucking stupid?"
4. DOPeS "OK fine, we'll talk with the guy. geez."

Good decision.

Well, it's better than a paltry fine. Not much better, mind you.

I still don't think the cross check was as egregious as the follow-up hit.

I think you're right dare, in fact, if Calvert does nothing after laying the lumber, I don't even think there's a hearing. I think even the DOPeS couldn't ignore that sucker punch.

Fuck you Calvert and Torts can go lick your ass!

OK now...

Lets Go Pens!

Ridiculous. If that guy breaks his face when falling to the ice it's a 20-gamer minimum. NHL has to stop being dictated by the result of the play and use intent. Being away from the puck and especially the secondary hit made the intent perfectly clear. Should have been 3-4 minimum.

OK thanks to Atkinson I will hold off on awarding the coveted Sieve award

2-1 Bus

lol - Refs wave off the Werenski goal, then notice the puck by the water bottle at the back of the net. Solid job, zebras.

These Jackets are er um buzzing to start this game.

This is the MAF Colunbus was expecting to see. Though gotta give credit to Atkinson/Sid for the 2nd one.

 

[dare2be]

Still too careless in our own end.

Penguins are guilty of more turnovers than a bakery in this period.

 

[scoutyjones2]

2 more periods...I have faith

Let's go pens!
