haha amazing
depends what delay of game you're talking about. it was late last night he obviously meant the puck of the glass moment. well there was no evidence it did that's why the no call.
I refuse to blame the refs over petty stuff like the ice crew having to come out. give me a break and accept the loss like a man
Canucks fans are upset that they are about to get beaten for the third straight year in the first round by the Blackhawks. That's all this is. Their team was up 3-0 and then they lost their minds and the blackhawks realized that and will/have capitalized on it.
Hardly.
If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

How's that petty? Tired 4th line up against the fresh top line. That's the point of the icing rule. It's to penalize the team that ices it.

Next time watch Patrick Sharp before a faceoff. He's about a foot in the faceoff circle before the puck is dropped. Hank actually called him out on that.- 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

I remember it all too well
I think you may be confused and have switched those around. Torres never left his feet at any time while delivering his check to Seabrook. Bickell leaped into the hit on Bieska. Here is some video evidence to cancel out your homerness:
Bickell on Bieska. Pause at :15. You can clearly see him leap into the hit with both skates off the ice before, during, and after contact.
Torres hit on Seabrook. Skates are on the ice before and during contact, come off the ice as Torres is falling to the ice. He never left the ice in the process of making the hit, nor did he launch himself.
It may be tough for you to understand as a blind Chicago fan, but what Bickell did is a penalty.
For reference, I understand what should be a penalty for this type of hit. Here is one from Kronwall for the Red Wings from a few years back that wasn't called but absolutely should have.
Yes that is true, however, this time it was within the rules. In overtime, there is a mandatory ice repair time out at the first whistle after the 10:00 minute mark. It just so happened that that whistle coincided with what could have been a crucial icing by the Hawks. That wasn't a situation where the refs were trying to dick over the Canucks, it was basically a free timeout each team gets at that point in overtime. Just happened to be at a more beneficial time for the Hawks than Vancouver.
Lidstrom gets Nominated for the Lidstrom TRophy (Again). but seriously, was anyone suprised that he made it? the dude is a stud.
Norris will come down to Weber or Lidstrom, Chara is only there because they need 3 nominees.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
Lidstrom is there because of his name. Visnovsky was snubbed big time.
agreed, it's an absolute shame Lubo wasn't nominated and Chara was.
