Series Thread: Eastern Conference Final - Carolina Hurricanes vs. Florida Panthers

Bennett had his stick in there, this might come back.

Edit: Never mind.

Yeah was thinking the same but after the replay that wasn’t enough to overturn.

3rd time the Canes got swept in the eastern conference finals.

Do you believe in unlikelihoods?!?

I still like them for what they did in the 2006 SCF.

This is some Patrick Roy , Montreal Canadiens 1993 type hockey.....

Anderson initiated the contact. I think that was the key to that call.

Curious did Ryan Smyth cry then also?

This is a big moment for the Pans, but remember we are awaiting the appeal on playoff qualification by the Caps. We should know by Saturday.

maybe they can take the spot for the West?

I’ll allow it. Sustained.

Sebastian Aho… what in the name of Kris Letang is he doing on that GWG? Terrible D.

Not so Fast, my friend.

Again please, I couldn't hear you?

I guess being there was only a .00001% chance of the Canes winning 4 in a row, it didn't matter but right at the end of a tie game in the playoffs, he should just kept the whistle in his pocket. That said, if it was a game 6 or 7 if I was B'rindamour I woulda jumped on the ice and strangled the zebra

In Tiger Williams book, he talks about a playoff game between the Habs and Leafs where referee Dave Newell called a penalty on Tiger in OT. Of course, the Habs scored on the resulting PP and as Tiger came out of the penalty box, he made a beeline for Newell. Larry Robinson saw that Tiger had evil intent and wrapped his arms around Tiger preventing Tiger from getting to Newell. He writes that Larry said, "It was a bullshit call Tiger, but I'll take you fishing in the summertime". Tiger made sure to thank Larry from doing something he would have regretted.

I liked watching him play. Him grabbing someone is akin to being grabbed by a silverback gorilla.

I was thinking that if Freddie had really tried to move across the crease, he might have gotten the call. The stick got in there but he wasn't moving and reacted late to the winning shot. Had he tried to move, the stick might have turned him.

I thought he did make a push with his leg. It looked weird to me.

I would have disallowed the series winning goal especially since Bennett's actions looked pretty deliberate.

Half of me thinks it was just a mercy killing at that point.

If prime Larry Robinson bear hugs you it's a good idea to listen to what he says.
