Series Thread: First Round - Colorado Avalanche vs. Seattle Kraken

[naslundfan19]

Tonight was only the 3rd time all season MacKinnon, Makar, and Rantanen all scored in the same game.

I would suggest Valeri steer clear of any open windows 2nd floor and above.

1-0 Seattle

New Hockey fan (since the Kraken) at my 1st playoff game: for Experienced Hockey fans... did Cale Makar seal his fate with his cheap hit on McCann to take an ass-beating every time he plays Seattle for the rest of his career, or is that just how it goes in Hockey and it'll be water under the bridge? Our assumption at the arena is that McCann is out for the rest of however long the Kraken play this year, so not happy fans in the arena

Very out-of-character for Makar - Not sure why he decided to lay out McCann like that.

/Have to think that's going to be a suspension

Rantanen scores.

What a brutal penalty call. These refs are fucking idiots.

 

[Destroydacre]

Obviously not a goal but love that they're letting the refs have it regardless.

What made it not a goal? And if it was for the reason described (a whistle, I think), why was there a review, at all? The puck was very clearly never controlled by the goalie and well into the goal.

The goalie had the puck under his pad and Schwartz clearly was pushing the goalie's pad backward into the goal. That's never going to be allowed in any circumstance. Honestly I think the NHL is too strict in calling it, but this one wasn't a goal.

In that case, that should have been the explanation... not that they blew the whistle (which is what it sounded like he said)

Wooooohoooo!!!!

Just watched the replays. Maybe Makar did not see the puck go out of play?

FWIW, there was no need for Makar to make contact. Having said that, I am surprised at the severity of the injury. Seems like more of a fluke result as opposed to a vicious hit. I wouldnt suspend Makar for it, but they dont let me spin the wheel

Yeah, Makar said so as much post-game that he lost track of the puck - He's getting a hearing today.
