The Bryz penalty was called as Roughing…does it still count as a Gordie Howe?

Why are we angry about the reffing? I literally got home with 1 minute left on the clock in the third.

Really really bad call led to their PP goal, really really bad non-call right before their third goal.

2nd goal, Voracek got called for tripping for making a bodycheck near the boards, 3rd goal, horton intefered 2 Flyers so lucic could skate into the zone and score
by Anders Jensen on Jan 22, 2012 4:00 PM EST up reply actions
Jake hit some guy coming up the boards, and hi position was such that his leg was behind the guy’s leg, so when he finished, the guy fell. He was called for tripping.

I usually don’t complain, but that was pretty bad. Several phantom penalties, then a “would be a great video example in referee training class” interference on Boston that was missed.
GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
Laid the guy out, he was in the locker room for 10 minutes or so.

a little dirty? Im pretty sure the Boston have most players suspended for illegal hits this year.
by Anders Jensen on Jan 22, 2012 4:04 PM EST up reply actions
Okay, more than a little dirty. Yet despite the suspensions, they’re the best team in hockey. Is it because they have superior players? Not really. We have more talent, so does Vancouver. They win because intimidation works.
by fiveredapples on Jan 22, 2012 4:05 PM EST up reply actions
No they win because they have really good players on all 4 lines. The Bruins are a very very deep team, its not because of intimidation that the bruins have the best scoring differential.

I never said that, but the Flyers are not more talented then the Bruins with all the Flyers injuries.

any time one of the best teams in the league has a physical dimension to their play they get the kind of complaints the Bruins are getting now. It’s happened to us many times over the last 38 years.
I like it better when other fanbases are whining about us.

The Flyers also have physical dimension, but the Bruins are really healthy right now compared to other teams.

they do seem to have an amazing ability to stay relatively healthy compared to other teams actually

Political Correctness - the belief that one can pick up a turd by the clean end.
lol we can dream :)
one thing that might get them, is that while they do legitimately play a physical game, they also seem to have some players that play too close to the line and tend to step over. If they keep that up and continue to be called on it, it could bite them in the ass sooner or later
I mean you guys tend to play a physical game, (and every team has a guy or 2 that plays close to that line) but I don’t see you guys crossing that line as much

Their success is a ticking time bomb. Their goaltending (though I hate to say it, because it is a stereotype) keeps them as contenders. Thomas can not stay this hot forever, and neither can his team

I like to pretend they didn’t win it the first time. I never said they would esplode this year, but give it time. The fact they are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL only contributes to their limited time. They are relying on Thomas to keep their side of the ice an iron trap, and are not scoring.

The Canucks, Black Hawks, Red Wings, Flyers and Rangers should all be able to play even with the Bruins in a play off series and if the Bruins begin to lose some of there players to injuries they will fall of abit.

Well here’s a quote for you about today’s ref:

by JerseyDriver on Jan 22, 2012 4:12 PM EST up reply actions
the only real issue that I have with reffing is a lack of consistency
I just wish that:
If it is a penalty in the regular season – it’s a penalty in the playoffs
If it is a penalty in the 1st period of game 1 – it’s a penalty in the 4th OT of game 7
If it is a penalty to one player – it is a penalty to every player regardless of perceived history of diving/embellishment
(I also think lack of consistency is one of the things (not the whole reason) that creates a lot of the diving/embellishment that we see from players of all teams sometimes) lol
Go Canucks Go!
Yeah, but you and the refs missed a “classic” interference call that directly, and causally, led to a Bruins goal.

Thought of you when I read this:
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/devils_playing_hort_oOguXWHhNy9EQBuGyjZ4cL?utm_campaign=OutbrainA&utm_source=OutbrainArticlepages&obref=obinsite
Looks like the League may be bailing out the Devils.
Yeah, thanks, hadn’t seen that. Unfortunately, it lends credence to my belief as to why the Thrashers were sold in such a hurry, when Phoenix was still out there. Given Dallas was in bankruptcy as well, Bettman apparently saw a “bird in hand” with Winnipeg and let Atlanta go. Atlanta is/was a very important TV market and it never made sense to me to get rid of them over Phoenix. Unless there were too many irons in the fire, as it appears there were,.
And while a few people have thought my idea of contracting Phoenix and merging NYI into NJ and creating the NJ Islanders owned by Wang was nuts, this would also lend credence to this and also possibly facilitate the league restructuring (7 teams, 4 divisions)

I know being down 3-1 is not a great position but pretty good period. They just need to keep hitting and fighting this team. Like to see Shelley ask for round two with Chara win it lose. Coburn looks feisty as well.

they’ve been doing fairly well. When we play them it is always a close 1 goal game and they’ve been playing hard, fast hockey when we play them. They seem to be about on par with last season I would say
Couture has been really great for them this year and he’s dangerous (scoring-wise) when he’s on the ice
Go Canucks Go!
they seemed to me to finally put a playoff-tough team on the ice last year. your guys were just better. haven’t seen too many sharks games this year.

There’s a rule that says that if there is any prolonged stoppage within 5 minutes of the end of a period, the intermission can be called then. They will drop the puck with the remaining time. The horn will then sound, and they will immediately start the next period.

I hope the Flyers brass realized what we’ve been missing the last few years. It’s amazing how the crowd responds to body checks. Even though we’ll probably still lose this game, it’s the best game I’ve seen this team play in 5 years.

Win or lose, we have the recipe for success. I don’t think we’ll probably lose, but sure it’s still a decent possibility. It’s a 1 goal game after all and Boston has strong 3rd periods. But, whatever advantage they usually get from being intimidating is gone. Now can they beat us on talent alone?
