Islanders sweep the Penguins in the first round.
Islanders get swept by the Hurricanes in the second round.
Hurricanes on the verge of being swept in the ECF by the Bruins.
The Bruins in the SCF ... ???

 

Bruins-Blues II: This time it's personal. Ernie Wakely still wants a piece of Bobby Orr.

 

Totally a hand pass. Sharks beneficiaries of a garbage call.

 

San Jose’s speed?

first one of the playoffs.

 

Wow, unbelievable. Doesn't matter if he didn't intend it as a pass, it was. No goal. The league's explanation for this one will be of Stars-Sabres-level BS and rationalization.

 

Sharks are the Bruins of the West the way they get calls this post season.

 

I know, right? Refs have really been shafting them to this point. Finally caught a break.

 

The refs have fucked these playoffs beyond recognition.

 

What's the point of replay if this can't be overturned, just because none of the four blind guys on the ice saw it. What were they watching?

The officials are in headset communication with Toronto. League HQ should have said, "I don't care who you pick, but one of you guys saw that pass. No goal. Play on."

 

It wasn't even subtle. He swatted the damn thing. Hate it when blown calls decide games.
There was a moment when I thought it might have hit his stick after he swatted it, but no, it didn't.
As Charles Barkley would say: Bad (non)call, man, bad fucking (non)call.

 

Happy they got a break.

 

No, no. That was a clear major in game 7 of the first round.
