First reaction there is Tampa got robbed...

 

[Premier]

These refs can eat a fat fuuuuuuuuuuucking ****.

 

[ffldrew]

Terrible Terrible call

 

[rockaction]

Refs in this TB MON game are rough.

Wow. Good post.

These refs can eat a fat fuuuuuuuuuuucking ****.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ooof. That goal was good

 

[ffldrew]

Stamkos got head hunted

 

[rockaction]

Awful call. Subban still made a great play.

 

[rockaction]

Ooof. That goal was good

You indeed called the ####tiness of refs.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Ouch. Double dose for Tampa with Stamkos down now.

 

[Premier]

No penalty there either.

 

[ffldrew]

Nice job booing there MTL fans

On review it was the guy skating by after the knockdown - looked like elbow/high stick in real time

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Something needs to be done about goalie interference, in the opposite direction. If they create contact, or wander outside of the crease and get hit, it should be fair game.

So at around 1pm today, a Rangers fan friend of mine texted me.

No, not "Happy Easter." Not "good luck." Just one word.

"Sweep."

I haven't responded yet. What's the shark play?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

These refs are going to lose control of this game at this rate. Awful from the start. No consistency at all and that hit on Stamkos was close to dirty at full speed.

Tell him anyone that's watched the Rangers all year knew full well they were never sweeping the Flyers.

 

[rockaction]

I am not rooting for MTL, but Subban just spun somebody into an injury trying to chase him.

Whoa.

 

[ffldrew]

Palat got launched

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

booo

 

[Bill Brasky]

Subban is electric. So good. Love that guy.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Subban is electric. So good. Love that guy.

Big fan as long as they aren't playing the Wings.

 

[northern exposure]

Pretty awesome on-ice audio/visual display for the Canadiens home playoff opener:

Really cool. I didn't think they could ever match the old Forum in terms of history and ambience, but the Bell Centre is a sweet rink.

 

[ffldrew]

TB might as well bend over and drop their pants

 

[JaxBill]

Nice job booing there MTL fans

On review it was the guy skating by after the knockdown - looked like elbow/high stick in real time

I'm watching the local Sunshine coverage with super homer Bobby Taylor screaming for multiple penalties,

They shouldn't have whistled anything but there's no way they should be taunting a guy who caught a knee in the back of teh head.

Especially since a couple months ago they were cheering for him in the Olympics.

Ah, Quebec. Plus, he didn't play in the Olympics, did he?

If many of them had the choice, they would be their own country.

I've been doing that all week about my hockey knowledge of the aughts.

My Flyer fan brother in law texted me down 2-0 begging out of our series bet.

Kerry Fraser ‏@kfraserthecall 16m

Correct call on disallowed goal! 69.3if goalkeeper in act of establishing his position within crease, initiates contact with an attacking

Kerry Fraser ‏@kfraserthecall 15m

Player who is in the goal crease & this results with impairment of goalkeeper's ability to defend his goal, the goal will be disallowed.

Kerry Fraser ‏@kfraserthecall 13m

Cary Price knows this rule & works it to his advantage better than any goalie in the league. It's the rule & I will not debate it further!

 

[RUSF18]

There's a whole lot of subjectivity in what he wrote.

 

[falguy]

Already been said, but the officials have been horrible in the Montreal game. Very inconsistent penalty calls and that TB goal should definitely have counted. On CBC they said the one ref is doing his first playoff game. I'm thinking (hoping) it's his last. Happy to have the lead but feel like it's undeserved.

Yeah, I had to post all of those tweets together for context

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 1m

Steven Stamkos is back for the third period.

You Blackhawks fans are hilarious. A knee on knee followed a couple minutes later by a vicious head shot and the thinking is the NHL wanted to make St. Louis happy so they wouldn't take any cheap shots "and they'd be dumb enough to do that." I think Chicago is the team you are looking for.

Took a long time but the Hawks have finally stooped to the Blues level. Blues are dumb, they were up 2-1 with the hawks asleep and great chance to go up 2-0 in the series and they almost blew it by starting to agitate the Hawks at the end of the 2nd, totally put a charge in them and they go up 3-2 as a result. The Blues can't help themselves.

What level are you referencing? The level of knee on knees and targeting the head along the boards? Because I've been watching the Blues a long while and I'm failing to recall that level. Baffling how many people have posted comments about how dirty the Blues are. Most of the team has a clean record.

I'm sure if that hit was on Toews you Hawk fans would have been just as shocked as you are now to learn Polak or whoever got 3 games.

Would be 3 more games than Torres got on his hit on Seabrook a couple years ago. There's plenty of reason to think 3 games is too much from an objective point of view.

You don't think there's a reason the Hawks the 3rd least penalized team start racking up penalty minutes every game they play the Blues(2nd highest).

So you blame the Blues for Chicago's lack of discipline? Why am I not surprised.

They don't have a lack of discipline in those games I'm talking about, you get more penalty minutes by having to put in protectors on the 4th line and scraps defending yourself from the Blues tactics. I blame the Hawks for being undisciplined yesterday, in the past they usually let teams like the Blues do their shenanigans and ignore it and beat them on the scoreboard. Blues got to them yesterday though and they didn't contain their composure, so congrats.

Bolts falling apart here

triple that, well besides the Wings part.

whoa - we have an actual habs fan on the board?

 

[rockaction]

I always comment on face-off music.

TNT by AC/DC and NOFX is pushing Montreal to the fore. Champs Elysees is a little-known punk song (yes, I know it's a folk song). But that and TNT is...taste.

But go Tampa!

eta* ####### System of a Down. Are you kidding?

There are a few actually.

Do we have any legit Blue Jacket fans?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Tampa is a mess.

 

[Premier]

Tampa is a mess.

Ugly way to end their year. They were better than this most of the season.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

How did this team make the playoffs? This is embarrassing.
