I'll be missing most of this one, but I plan on watching once I get home at about 10pm. Hopefully I avoid any spoilers

Alright everyone, make sure you contact ritari directly with very detailed accounts of game action while the game is live.

Well, I have not seen it happen this year.

Right, but the league looks at result, not intent/action. They're more inclined to get you for hitting a guy in the head when you weren't trying to than aiming for the head and missing, it seems.

I agree with @ritari330 that it was a 2-minute charge and little else, according to the book. On the other hand, I have to wonder if charging should maybe be an automatic 5 instead, just to better dissuade players from making risky/dangerous hits.

This image about sums up the NHL when it comes to hits and player safety.

So, is NBC going to miss part of the game coverage due to their Kentucky Derby coverage? Looks that way, with a scheduled start time of 7:15 on NBC.

I guess they can justify it because of the importance of the sporting event.

^ on the Derby note it looks like Ric Flairs horse won?

Murray wants to go golfing

OV earned that two minutes.......

Holtby had a great first period, Murray's was good until 2 minutes left.

Just think if he would have whipped out a gun and shot him play would have went on with no call.

This is the top NHL group.

The most exciting two minutes in Sports.







Until the last two minutes of the first period

 

[Comeds]

Wow what a terrible period by the Caps.

 

[dare2be]

I was just about to say the opposite...what impressive zone control by the Pens in the last few minutes.

Oh they look good I don't mean to suggest otherwise. I meant the stupid penalties from the Capitals in addition to their inferior play.

Ahh No. Because I am sightseeing with the wife in Canada, they are getting ready to go to the Jets game.
