NHL Playoffs!!

[Dero]

Now hold on for just one second!!!How many times have I seen DOMI put somebody through the boards and then score,or even Tucker himself and Roberts and NOT GET A PENALTY?
Need I continue?
Sure it was a rough check,are'nt they all?
It was not charging,it was not elbowing,I know,I also played hockey,been hit much harder and I've seen checks that were more inoffencif(softer) and injuries were
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worst.
There would not be any noise about this check,if it was not a deciding goal...Nobody would say anything if Alfi had not scored after it,it would have been just another routine check...!!!

The old saying for Tucker...(sorry he got injured, butt)
"You live by the sword,you die by the sword!!!"
So there!!!...
I still say Ottawa in 6!!!


BTW,I know that lots will disagree,and I will stand by what I said!
Hmmmm,let's reverse the shoe here,what would you say if Domi had done this,HUH!!!?


What can I say I'm a SENATOR's FAN!!!!
GO Sens go!!!!!
Twirling my white towel!!!!!!

Hitting hard is one thing but hitting from behind is not allowed. If that was Domi it would have been a major penalty and a suspension. At the very least it should have been a minor penalty.

 

[Dero]

The other thing, I know that Alfi will be a MARKED man.I would'nt be suprise to see him leave on a stetcher at the next game...
BTW,how is Tucker?
Send on da goons...
Butt dat is ok.
RIGHT?

No, I don't think it's alright to send in the goons. I'm not even arguing about Tucker getting hurt. It's the lack of a penalty that bothers me. Like I said before; Tucker, Domi, and the others have dished it out, so they shouldn't be too suprised when they get ruffed up themselves. But it's the lack of a penalty call on the play that bugs me.

Also, everyone says that Toronto are the goons, but they're the team with all the freakin' injuries!

I really hope the St. John's Leafs can win this series, but I'm starting to have doubts due to the sheer number of injured players. You can't say that team doesn't have heart.

If it was Domi that checked Alfredsson into the boards like that, I would expect a penalty to be called on the play, at least. Particularly in Domi's case where he was suspended last year for elbowing Neidemyer (sp), I'm sure he would have been ejected from the game.

Back to the original point, if it were a Leaf player who had meted out that check, I would expect and accept the penalty.

 

[Shmoo]

Tucker is out for the rest of the playoffs. With seven regulars out of the lineup it may be too much for the Leafs to come back in this series. If they have any chance they will need Mogilny to turn his game up to the next level.

 

[digger1]

Alfie's hit was a dirty, cheapshot. He hit him from behind, square in the middle of the back. If that was Tucker on Alfred. Tucker would be gone, suspended. So then the samething happens to Domi and it's a penalty. Why? Because Domi was bleeding and the Ref couldn't ignor it. The Ref's initial reaction was to let it go but then he saw the blood gushing from Domi's forehead.

In the final analysis the NHL head office, and officiating staff don't want the Leafs to advance. That is plainly obvious by the one sided officiating. The NHL doesn't like the tough style the Leafs play and are doing everything to keep them out. From the League offices to the on ice officals, the Leafs have to battle everyone and they're doing it. The question is how long can they keep going with 7 regulars out? It's very frustrating watching the St. John's Leafs vs the Ottawa Senators. Another reason why Quinn is the top coach in the NHL, and guys like Martin are just greasy slimeballs.
GO LEAFS GO!

You gotta give the Leafs all kinds of credit for pushing the series to seven games. That's going to be a hell of a game seven!!! Leafs fans should be THANKING the Ottawa guy who nailed Domi. That five minute power play is the reason the Leafs were able to win yesterday. They came up HUGE on that power play, something they desperately needed to do at that point in the game.

 

[ZECH]

All I can say is what about those CANES???

 

[I Are Baboon]

To HELL with the Canes! They should have never left Hartford!!!!

 

[ZECH]

I'm surprised Carolina made it past the first round, much less leading the second round!

 

[I Are Baboon]

I honestly don't see any possible way Montreal can beat them twice in a row. Hard to believe the Canes could very well be in the conference finals. They just plain SUCKED in Hartford the 20 years they were here. It would be good to see Ron Francis win a cup with that team.

 

[ZECH]

What I saw and kept up with them this year, they were pretty much off and on all year! But I guess they are getting their act together at the right time!

How right you are!!!'Did you get the license plate # of that car that hit Domi???
Yes that was indeed uncalled for and yes that stupidity was the reason the Buds won yesterday's game!!!
And I will admit that I was wrong,in calling Ottawa in 6...





Ottawa in 7,so I was off by a game!!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Speaking of getting hit by cars, what the hell happened to Montreal last night??

 

[ZECH]

CANES whooped a$$!!! Headed to conference finals!! 8 to 2 baby!!

SIZE. Canes are huge, Canadians are small and fast . The series against Boston and the Canes took so much out of them physically they just had nothing left. What was that stupid misconduct call against Gilmor? He slammed the pbox door and the glass broke. Is that his fault? Jackass officials in the NHL these days!

I have mixed feelings about that call. No, it's not his fault the glass was weak. But at the same time YES, it's his fault for slamming the door in the first place. He was so pissed about getting the tripping penalty (which he fully deserved) he lost his cool and slammed the pbox door. Even if the glass hadn't broken I still think he would have deserved the misconduct penalty.

Caveat: I freely admit I dis-like Doug Gilmore with a passion so the above opinion MAY..........let me re-emphasize MAY be tainted by my personal feelings.

 

[digger1]

Yeah, it's okay to call the ref an f'n a'hole, but please don't slam the door. Good grief.

I'm pretty sure most refs would give you a game mis-conduct for that one.

Are you kidding me? This isn't the National Volleyball League. The players in the NHL have the most filthy mouths and give it to the ref's all the time. It's embarassing when the mic's get left on and you hear what the players are saying out there.
Oh and by the way.

GO LEAFS GO!

I completely agree but I'm still pretty sure they draw the line at calling the ref an f'n a-hole.

LEAFS WIN!!!!!!
Bring on the huricanes

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!

I THINK NOT! Toronto's on a roll! They gonna open a can of whoop a$$ on the Canes! Canes are just lucky they made the playoffs in the first place. What makes you think that the Sharks have enough bite to finish off the Avs anyways???

 

[Dero]

We'll have to wait 'till tomorrow night,won't we???
I think the Sharks are going to take a BIG BITE OUTTA the Avs!!!
To start off with,then the Canes will whoop da BUD'S A$$ on thursday!!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Congrats to the Leafs. Even with a beat up roster, they managed to survive and advance.

I pick the Hurricanes in six. They are fully healthy, and they are just plowing through their games right now.

 

[digger1]

It all comes down to heart. Heart, grit, guts, balls. The Leafs were willing to sacrafice, to dive in front of slapshots, to be hit face first into the boards. They were willing to be champions.

They may not win Thursday, but they will win the series in 6 and advance to play Detroit in the finals.
GO LEAFS GO!

 

[ALBOB]

Well first off CONGRATS to the Leafs. When Digger said heart, grit, guts, balls truer words have never been spoken. I don't like them but I sure as hell RESPECT them. Awesome performance throught the entire roster.

Second and last, I'm SOOOOO depressed. Last nights game just reminded me how horrible Philly did because I thought they were back on the ice but wearing Sen's jerseys.
