Just emphasizing that it’s insane that someone being 0.0006mm offsides, two whole minutes before a goal, gets reviewed, but a penalty that tangibly affects the outcome of the game does not.
I remember a year or two ago, the Caps scored a goal against the Devils and had 6 guys in their goal celebration huddle. There were no delayed penalties or an empty net, etc.
I don't find this to be much of a controversy, but I'll take a grey area incident here and there. Because if this was called to the letter of the law consistently, pace of play and a lot of other aspects of the game - as both a player and viewer - would be miserable.
It makes sense, he’s close to a milestone and he is still incredible. In fact, I don’t really understand why he had such a difficult time with the decision when he is still so good and still probably has a good couple of years in him. I wonder how the Bruins offseason will end up going. They have Bergeron back now, which is great, but they took a step back this year and the core continues getting older. It feels like a very important offseason, they kinda need to make some changes sooner than later if they want to avoid a rebuild.
I don’t blame him for taking time to think about it. He’s had a ton of injuries over the years and probably wants to think about his future outside of hockey. Between that, incompetent management, a barren prospect pool, it’s made sense that he wants to see what direction the team is going in. Even though the cup contention window realistically closed a couple years ago, I would imagine they are going to go all in, knowing that this is likely his last year. Pasta extension probably gets done soon, I would expect them to take a run at Kadri as well. They will have to clear a ton of cap to do any of this however.
Nah one of the best finals since sharks-pens. Make it seven. Also this off season has like no interesting storylines. Kadri sweepstakes? Number one pick that'll be middle six at best? Meh.
there are a ton of potential good free agents and from what Friedman said there are going to be some crazy moves for teams that are up against the cap not to mention my team hasnt played a meaningful game in 6 months so yeah I am ready for this shit to be done
