2023-24 NHL Season Thread.

[Taros]

I don't complain about refs, but two major things were missed.

The hit on Bieksa. Torres did the same thing and got two, there should have been a call here awsell.

In the OT Blackhawks iced the puck with their 4th line who as already on the ice for a very long time. The refs call out the ice crew despite the Canucks having the offensive faceoff.

Yeah Canucks had the better scoring chances no doubt, but that hit on Bieksa was a good clean hit. Ask anyone who knows anything and they will tell you the same. Ask Mike Milbury. He should have had his head on a swivel and he didn't. This isn't the KHL.

Torres left his feet to deliver a head shot and it was very clear what he intended.

sorry dude, but the guy who delivered the hit on Bieksa LEFT his feet. yes. Bieksa's fault for having his head down, and if the guy hitting him doesn't leave his feet it is a clean hit. but. the delivery man LEFT HIS FEET.

[Taros]

Didn't look that way to me. The refs agree with me and so does the league.

we will find out if he gets a suspension. he definately was elivated during the hit though.

[Taros]

Also, Bickell is a rookie and has never made (or been caught making) a dirty hit, while Raffi Torres is notorious for it.

[Xevan]

I'm just arguing the consistency of the calls. It was very lopsided.

Personally I'm feeling a lot better about game 7 that game 6. Game 6 showed me that they're still playing.

does not matter, a dirty hit is a dirty hit and warrants a suspension, even if it is just for one game. they slammed Kunitz with one.

[Xevan]

This series has taught the Canucks the right attitude. Come every night to play or GTFO of the playoffs.

[Wreckeded]

Sure is alot of jerks in this thread, Guesse thats the playoff attitude.

[obezy]

so im a big bruins fan i think this comeback will end the series in game 6, im hoping they go all the way this year, but they steal need work!

Boston looks good and the hopes are high. Montreal is an amazing team too. If the Bruins can beat the Habs I believe they can beat any other team in the conference. That said, I'm pulling for Buffalo.

[Asmileyface]

Hawks v. Nucks game 7 is going to be a good one. Everyone better turn on their TV's Tuesday.

My guess is Canucks win. But that was my guess for the last 3 games so who knows.

[Wooblez]

Vancouver is gonna put on their Troll faces and obliterate them haha, i can see it now

I will be OK with a win, I won't be happy til a 7-0 blowout.

[Merkava]

Shame you don't think of that when you post your walls of text about the bad calls in the Pens road to the cup

Proof of what a joke all blackhawks fans are.

Have you guys even heard of hockey 2 years ago?

No, and we're not an original 6 team, and we haven't been playing since 1926. Oh, and were not the only city with a championship in all 4 sports in the last 25 years. Oh wait, actually we're all those things.

torres was called for interferance. bieska had the puck. problem solved

i've seen the refs call for the ice crew a ton over the years. doesn't matter to me at all.

anything else?

[cineplex]

Too many men, No call. Bolland numerous slashes, No call. Delay of game, No call. Offside on last goal, No call. Icing, and they gave them an ice clean? NHL continues to disappoint me.

[Myier]

Was an interesting call starting Corey Schneider for Vancouver, hopefully game seven will be entertaining! Shame the ducks are out though, oh well.

[Epuration]

kewl story bro!

- the 2 many men was false. in fact is was 5v4 for the canucks because a hawk didn't jump on in time. it was cluttered at the bench which led to only 4 hawks on the ice as the canucks rushed up on an odd man break.
- bolland slash? I saw a ton of that from the canucks also what are you talking about.
- delay of game? they never ever call that. especially in the playoffs. heck the canucks cheated in the faceoff circle and didn't get called. it never gets called
- not sure about the offside I haven't' heard 1 thing about it to be honest
- no call on icing? happens to both teams. don't make it sounds like its only your team.

I think this picture tells 1000 words. canucks are divers. sedin was shot
