WC Playoffs Western Final: Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks

[Henry Fool]

Patrick Kane is hockey satan. Abandon all faith.

Maybe Sutter should have considered putting Martin Jones in at some point. Not saying Quick has cost LA the series, but I wouldn't argue the claim if someone did.

3 bounces for Chicago... juts feels like LA isn't meant to win this

This unfortunately isn't a real hockey game with the way the refs have unintentionally created the current score with ass reffing. It's really too bad, because these teams are playing amazing hockey, but the score is more reflective of the refs poor fingerprints on the game than the teams playing the game.

I know you can say "Well they still have to score on the PP's" but at the end of the day they're really taking away from what should be one of the best playoff games in years.

Pretty one sided officiating for a game seven. Great for the Hawks, potentially devastating for the Kings.

LOL! The way this game has been going, no lead is safe!

I expect that the Kings will tie it in the third creating some late game drama

Conveniently after the team you're cheering for has gotten the calls in their favor....

Hrudey is spot on about the biased reffing.

[direwolf]

Hrudey ripping apart the refs. And rightfully so.

My team aside, i'm not a fan of refs who try to be a deciding factor in the game. Unless it's so obvious, just let them play.

Good to hear consensus on the panel regarding the officiating. So incredibly disappointing with the magnitude of the game and the two teams involved.

[Scoreface]

The refs are ruining the pinnacle of a great series. For shame.

Awesome. Refs have turned this game into a shameful display of playoff hockey and the CBC panel just ripped them apart. Great to see. All those examples were pathetic excuses for penalties in a conference finals game 7.

Elliot Freidman tried to play moderator and no one else was having it.

I enjoyed Freidman's jab that Hrudey has played the majority of his playoff games for the Kings.

Thinking of traveling to NY to see a Cup final game???

That was a **** comment by Friedman, imo. They're having a serious discussion about the terrible reffing that should be at the centre of discussion and he comes out with that juvenile crap?

I'm all for funny commentary and joking around at times, but Kelly was deep into his analysis and making a serious point. That wasn't the time to accuse him of being biased because he played for them, joking or not.

The job of those guys is to give unbiased, insightful opinions on the games and they're all jockeying for positions on various stations next season. Very poor form, imo. Hrudey seriously looked like he was gonna throw a punch across the table. I wouldn't be surprised if Hrudey has some heated words for him after the segment.

Downpayment on a car... or watch a hockey game.

Now that's an easy decision. Hockey it is.

Game 6 would be a newer motorcycle for me.

I bet a beer would = aftermarket turn signals too.

Looks like the Hawks forwards are cheating a bit to get that breakout pass.
