NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Chris that was some knappy ass ref'ing in the Hawks v Canucks game tonite. So many blatantly missed calls, not the least of which being goal #5. Allowing it or disallowing it would have had zero effect on the game but you're honestly going to allow any goal for any team to stand when 2 of the opposing players crash the net and score by pushing the goalie over his own goal line? Honestly? I'm betting AV and Gillis are already on the phone with the NHL's head of officiating ripping him a new one for allowing such absolute BS from the ref's.

That and why is it that as soon as hockey players start making a min of $800K/season they apparently loose the ability to count how many other jerseys that look like their own are already on the ice? So so sloppy.....

Opinions may vary.

Nice win for the Hawks...not nice because they played great, but because they were dominated in period 1, and came out with a 2-0 lead. Outplayed in perios 2, and come out with a 3-2 lead. 3rd period was the way they need to play.

Great game by Niemi, the Canucks easily could have had a half dozen goals.

And Dustin Byfuglien...."How you like me now?"

Good game for the Hawks, they seem to have recovered well after Game 1.

I still think this one might go 7, but happy the Hawks are up.

From a Hawks fan's perspective, I saw calls missed both ways. The 5th goal was kicked in my a Canuck D-man, and both Toews and Buff were jostling with Canuck D-men when they crashed the crease...but I am sure I would not be happy if the goal had gone the other way and been against the Hawks.
