Series Thread: Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2 - Canadiens vs. Lightning

[sherbert1421]

I hate that. Dumb, but just about every team in the league does something similar in that situation.

except Detroit

 

[sherbert1421]

this is actually a shrewd move by prust. now everyone is going to be talking about him rather than talking about how montreal got run our of their building by tampa

but yea prust is a sore loser

 

[postmaster]

You can't have that from the refs though so I hope they look into it.

Don't read lips, kids.

For what it's worth, the Habs were 2-6 this past season when Brad Watson was one of the zebras...

[BGDave]

On a lighter note

Am I the only one looking for Littlefoot and Cera whenever the announcers say "Petrie"???

I will be glad to see MTL knocked out for this reason alone.

I'm interested in what this ref apparently said, but I find a Habs player saying someone else "flopped like he always does" absolutely hilarious.

For all the abuse the officials take throughout the season I don't blame them one bit for giving it back. Especially to a moron like Prust. I hope the league 'looks into it' very lightly.

I got to think Prust is breaking some unwritten code that you don't talk about the chatter on the ice. Now it's going to be about the refs using the f-word against a player?

In the end, Prust looks like the whiner.

There's no way of knowing what Prust said to the ref during/after the altercation, but if it was just some simple "this is BS" type banter then the ref has no right on earth to verbally attack Prust the way it seems he did. I would have a hard time talking to Hitler like that.

The refs should not have to put up with any abuse, but in the playoffs there better be a good reason to give someone and extra two. At least on the NBCSports feed nothing really jumped out.
And while still not knowing exactly what was said I remember other times when refs followed players to the box continuing to engage the players and the refs were criticized for it.

I can't read his lips in this...is anyone picking up on anything here?

Isles Matt Donovan got a phantom 10 minute misconduct last series against the Caps. After the game he said he had no idea why he got it because he said nothing. Refs are weird sometimes, other times they have a reason I guess. Donovan is not the type to yap at the refs either.

Now I have to look up who reffed that game.....

 

[Puck082]

O'Rourke and Pochmara...not Brad Watson. Would have been crazy if it had been him.

Anyway, f-Prust.

The fat broad is warming up her vocal chords.

If this goes more than 5 I'll be surprised.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Refs. Not good enough to be an actual player.

Not big enough cojones to be a cop.....

 

[GenJac]

Too premature to say it's 'over'...but the Habs are in serious trouble. They haven't been able to handle the Bolts all season, and this series is no different. The Bolts struggled mightily against the Wings, but they really seem to have found their grove which is gonna make them tough to beat...not to mention they seem to know how to get the puck by Price. Even though the score sheet says Price gave up 6....most of those you can't put on Price. Some of those PP goals were executed so perfectly that he never stood a chance at stopping them.

 

[GenJac]

Oh, and it was beautiful to watch the Lightning score on PK Subban's cheap shot penalty!!1

 

[dare2be]

but they really seem to have found their grove

Tampa Bay...Florida...grove...I get it!

Oh no, they'd have to be much, much dumber to be a cop.
