True, but Mactavish doesn't get to take credit for Devan's success, nor does Shanahan for Kessel's. And I will continue to be bitter because it's sports and I don't have to be forgiving and understand

Bruins with zero shots in the 2nd period vs Ottawa.

This isn't directly related to the Niskanen incident, but his comment inspired it.   Everybody who injures someone claims they had "no intent to injure," But like, if you're running someone who does

yeah. Kesler probably held his pad on purpose, but I think people kinda see what they want to see there (myself included). He was definitely shoved in, and pretty much kept there by Nurse. It was a mad scramble. I don't think they can overturn a goal there to be honest.

I agree with you and fwiw I think the NHL has lost the plot on goalie interference. BUT.. regardless of nurse, independently of that in fact, kesler held his pad, talbot couldn't close up and that allowed the puck through. To me, that's literally the definition of interfering with the save. his move, which had nothing to do with nurse knocking him down or even holding him there, prevented the goalie from making a save.

Kessler had 2 hands on his stick the whole time. Was he obstructing on purpose once he realized he'd been shoved into a favourable position? Quite possibly. Is it conclusive goalie interference? Not even close IMO.

 

I agree the rule isn't totally clear but given the onus that has always been there regarding overturning a call on the ice, the refs made the correct decision on that play.

i disagree. But in the end, your and mine are just amateur opinions. Refs get things right such a huge percentage of the time I'm willing to defer.

I don't know who is doing the NBC feed that I'm watching, but the play-by-play guy is excellent.

 

Also, this is the first I've watched the Pens, but, as a team, they look...not good? Seems like pucks keep getting put just to open ice or corners, and they don't know where their teammates are or are going to be without just looking around. Feels like they've never played before and coaches didn't put in a system, don't think I've seen a clean breakout yet.

I have a deep hatred for the oilers organization stemming from the way my brother was treated, mostly by Mactavish, on his way out of town. Also, I was subjected to watching hundreds of games of that shitshow that slowly built up a resentment in me.

 

Plus, I think they've made every wrong decision in the last 6-7 years and then luckboxed into the best player in the world and got a complete reprieve and they don't deserve to win. Years of terrible hockey decisions and croneyism doesn't deserve to be justified now.

Didn't know about the Mactavish part.

Couldn't agree with you more about the luckbox part

You may have a hatred for someone because of what happen. I did for he new president from my old employer. He was the reason I quit. I should thank him since I went on my own. (Excuse me while I barf from saying this)

 

Now with Kessel he got a cup

 

Devan got a chance to showcase his skills which turn into a life changing contract

 

So all is good
