Try again, NHL. The officiating job in this game was PATHETIC.

Dude... please. Go watch the first and second periods. Gonchar's goal? Came off a HORSESHIT roughing call when both KONOPKA AND RUPP went at it together.
Richards' trip? Not called. TWO cross-checks on Prust? Not called. Three other odd trips? NOT CALLED. Yet every fuckin' call was made for the Sens.
The refs BLEW this game. And the NHL BLEW that no-goal call. HE KICKED IT IN.
Dude... my heart, man. I was literally pacing in my living room.
Actually, I'm just messing with you. All kidding aside, the officiating was brutal tonight, and I thought it was horrible in the Bruins' last game too. Although I'm not so sure about the kicked in goal, too close to reverse under the circumstances in my opinion.
The extra day wait between games six and seven is torture. Wednesday can't come soon enough for me.

To be fair IDR, they ruled that he didn't touch the puck when the piece of shit Neal kicked it in. Why he isn't suspended for Concussing Boyle I don't know.
It looked like he did kick it, but the video people in Toronto have better views and opinions then I. Of course the blatant goalie interference on the kicking goal by Neal that wasn't called is kinda shit too.
Either way, Game 7 on Thursday, in the Garden.

Good thing he makes $7M+ a year. This is gonna cost him, but right on, Hank! Fight the good fight!
For starters, Neal never targeted the head of Boyle. If Boyle wants to cross the centre of the ice with his head down, he has to expect to pay the price for it. Over and above that, Neal didn't leave his feet in making contact with Boyle. And much to my surprise, even though he's a notorious tough guy, Neal shockingly is not a repeat offender in such affairs. It's unfortunate that Boyle was injured but hey, it's a physical game, and you need to keep your head up.
It's a good thing you are able to maintain better objectivity in your debating in the Debaters League (excellent job so far by the way), as opposed to your viewpoint on professional sports.

either way, it doesn't matter, they have already set a precedent that injuries determine penalties. Boyle was injured. Hence, he should be punished.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Ya got that?
Now watch the hit again.
Neil does not leave his feet, however nor does he let up knowing the player is in a vulnerable position, and his intent is never to play the puck, only to separate the man from his own body.
Clear-as-day violation of Rule 48. 5-Minute major for charging, bare minimum.
If Boyle is going to play in the middle of the ice, he should expect to be hit, just not hit in the fuckin' head.
Neal IS a repeat offender. He's just never been suspended for it.
Bottom line is that these types of hits are NOT allowed in the NHL anymore. You are applying 1990's logic to a 2012 NHL game.

PHX downs CHI in 6. Wow.
First playoff series win in 25 years (dating back to Winnipeg).
PHX/NSH and STL/LAK in the second round out West!

Changed the channel to watch the end of the Hawks/'Otes game after Raw, pass the fuck out after about 2 mins., woke up about 4 am, jumped online to check the score & saw the Chicago loss 4-0 
As far as the West goes I'm hoping the winner of the StL/LA series goes on to win the West, preferably LA, they're just more fun to watch.

Happy to see the Devils win. As to the Sens-Rangers. Looking forward to game 7. Neal not being suspended was the right call. Nothing wrong with that hit. Tortarella trying to say it was the exact same as Torres had me laughing out loud.
Having said that, the Neal goal should not have counted, but Ludqvist basically saying it's a conspiracy is a bit off base and I'll say why. If this was a real conspiracy the Rangers should be the ones on the favoured end considering they're a much bigger market than Ottawa. Of course I can understand his frustration after a bad call, but still.

Wrong.
See above:

Also, it's Neil, with an 'i', not an 'a'.
Also wrong.
The NHL is not on good terms with Cablevision/MSG, the parent company of the Rangers, because they have a long history of barring media and censoring content that they do not own the content rights to. This dates back to the 90's, and has never changed. No one will ever come out and say that there's bad blood between the two, but that doesn't mean there isn't.
The Rangers also left a bad taste in the mouth of the league throughout the early 2000's in signing marquee free agents, which is one of the biggest reasons the league pushed for the salary cap in the first place.

Sorry Habs2-1 CAPS! Motherfucker YEAH!!! Also I stand by what I said. I don't care about the problems the Rangers had with cable TV in the 2000's. It's not a conspiracy. Only diehards think like that, and it was a good hit by "Neil", you can't call it wrong because it's an opinion.

Well, bets are hedged, to an extent. I'm the only possible winner left, provided the Rangers can get past tomorrow's game 7.
