There's a reason why America's major sports provider, ESPN, prioritizes bass fishing, poker, & horse racing ahead of Nhl Hockey. I would venture to say that with as bush league as the NHL is with officiating and it's lockout happy owners/PA are the main reasons the NHL will never be a top tier sports league in the states.

Johnny isn't a franchise player. We need a "best player". Artfully big gap to fill.

I think this is what needs to be focused on. We have been the better team from the start. Officiating jobbed us in one way or another but instead of bitching about it lets get pissed and fight back. When teams (and their fan bases) come together special things can happen.

Johnny banks it in off of Bieska's ass for the win.

Shut the f up.
Skip over the high stick to talk about the 4th goal witch is an obvious good goal

[Biff]

Shoulder height of a 6'2" player on skates is at least a full foot above 4 feet and is a disallowed goal. /debate

[Mr.Coffee]

The HNIC panel is brutal. What are you idiots talking about? His stick is above his shoulder haha

Just because you're paid by them doesn't mean you can't have an opinion. How much of a mob is the NHL? These guys' families are being held at gunpoint or something?

Win or lose Johnson should get the next game. He's as big a reason as Eliot that we are here, and Elliot is clearly cold. Time for GG to make a big boy decision.

[Rollin22x]

How can they review a high stick if they don't have the proper cameras in place to make that call?

I dont know if anyone else read the NHLs explanation of the high stick but its so ridiculous.

Sitting back on the lead is a way to make that lead disappear like an illusion.

While there's some truth to this, normal NHL goaltending would have won us the game already.

More importantly, it's clear the team started to lose faith in Elliott, which causes panic in our own end.

Man o man, the high and the super low.

[FLAMESRULE]

Bennett with the GWG

[The Familia]

Rickell with the OT winner 4mins in. What was the point of making the playoffs if we were going to get bent over by the refs, the league, the Ducks, Elliot, Bouma, Hamilton, and Gulutzen?
