My question is...

When has the officiating in the NHL NOT sucked. :p

It's a trend lately, the ref's must be paid by the Whistle Blow. :p

They blow it once, they get 500 bucks. Twice, 1000... and so on.

I mean, you DON'T call too many men on the ice in the third period of a PLAYOFF game.

calling a penalty when someone is on a breakaway, like yesterday, ****es me off. the refs are stupid. :angry:

hmm, i dunno bout that :p

there's one thing like calling a too many men penalty, it's cut and dry, there's either too many men or there isn't. it doesn't involve any judgement by the ref.

i could understand if it was a roughing, interference, or hooking/holding, where the ref needs to actually interpret what's going on.

Actually Bro, that is a very subjective penality.

All the opposing team has to do is shoot the puck into someone leaving the ice and they can whistle it, it's a well known 'Cheap Penality' practiced by many teams to get the man advantage. It's up to the Refs to see if a team is being slow at the change or if they are being setup by the other team.

i'm still wondering where your deep hatred for the avs came from...

well the teams i'd be happy with winning it would be the avs (of course), the wings, or the devils. those are the ONLY teams i'd be happy with winning the cup...

Did you just see that move from Dvorak in the Stars game to make it 3-2 Oilers??? Holy ****.

that was an incredible move...to go along with an incredible game...the 4 minutes or so where the score went from 1-0 dallas to 3-2 edmonton were insane...thats what playoff hockey is about...i was almost pulling for dallas to tie it up so the game could keep going a little bit longer, but oh well...the other game today wasnt as good...boston is clearly overmatched...

Dallas In 5 :yes:

so much for that theory ;)

hehe, that move was tight. of course, i watched the first two periods, then i left and only caught the last 3 minutes of the third :(

i really hope the stars, devils, and wings don't win the cup. they need to share.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
