what a horrible penalty call... i think it's a penalty but most definitely not with 11 seconds left in the 3rd period of a tied up SC finals game. If you watch that, no one’s stick touches him. I know refs have to call it in real time. But I don’t see how you call that with 11 seconds left. I seriously hope that the refs do a make up call right away so no team gets much of an advantage!!! |

1 assist in the last 5 for verhaeghe.
biggest goal of the season (to date) for the panthers.
anyhoo...the 3 goal rule still applies. in this year's playoffs, vegas is 14-0 when they score 3, and the cats are 11-0 (or maybe 12-0) when they score 3.

Hopefully the Vegans start to burn out. They looked in invincible for the first 2 games and 45 mins. Florida looked like they could do nothing right. Anyways, if the kitties can stay outta the box. Just a little bit. They’ll make this tougher than it has to be for Vegas.
Aidin Hill has played good enough to win. But he’s barely challenged. They scored two up high tonight. Gotta shoot high on this guy. He does well enough to win stopping a lot down low. Plus his D fuckin blocks every gawd dam puck. I still feel he’s due for a horrendous game. He’s not 1986 Patty Roy!!!

...and that's the best outcome. True, I mean I am going for Vegas in this simply because the tears of the crusty old "they haven't paid their dues" brigade are delicious (and I am a bastard, but I think you all knew that already). I do like that this is a chippy series, but these refs want more facetime then your average worthless influencer. Someone needs to tell them, they they aren't the main attraction and just stick to their job of calling the game. Creds to Florida for keeping to the "good teams manage to find a way to win in spite of the tedious interference of the officials". |

I guess you better hit the ice immediately if you feel your skate blade touching another player. Whoever remains standing gets the penalty.

So here's a question that goes back to the first period penalty on Mark Stall. He falls in the offensive zone, and in his efforts to get the puck while on his stomach, he trips the Vegas player which prevents a 2 on 1.
Which woukd you rather have: 20 seconds of a 2 on 1 or 2 minutes of a 5 on 4. Seems to me, you trust your teammates and let the 2 on 1 play out

I thought the Cats would hold serve with at least one of the two home games here,another low scoring affair could tie the series but Bob's gotta be 'Bob'.
Kudos to Maurice for winning the last-change,chess-match and he could do it again,as could Cassidy when he returns to the desert.......two real good HC's!
Kudos to Tkachuk too! He was the bug instead of the windshield this time,but he dusted himself off and returned after lookin' a bit woozy and clearing protocol. He writes another chapter in the 23 PO book too because he sought retribution on the scoreboard this time instead of getting thrown-out with 4mins to play.....and here we are.
The Knight's size and skill will continue to be a factor and Fla went 0 for 5 on the PP last nigh(0 for 12 for the series)....that'll have to change to win one in Vegas and they still have to win one in Vegas.
edit: This year's officiating...
Many fans of the game have wanted no discrepancy between how regular and postseason games are called ever since St Lou won a cup and it looks like that's what we've seen all PO's this year.
I haven't seen any comparative numbers but it seems like they're calling more ticky-tack minors than ever and they hand-out 10min misconducts at the end of games like crazy too.

Game announcers and the intermission team keeps harping on Florida and selfish penalties. So even the experts are seeing the stupid penalties.
And as HSBob said, Florida 0 for 12 on the powerplay. And who's in charge of that? Jamie Tampon. Didn't we hate this guy when he was an assistant coach with the Hawks? Way too much talent on Florida to be 0 for 12

Gotta give the Cats credit for tying it up late and then winning it in OT. Seems like it might have been a choke by Vegas, but, as said above, good teams find a way to win. The Panthers won it even though the Knights were 2 for 6 on the PP, which were the only goals they scored. So, despite the gifts by the Panthers to the Knights, they still managed to win. Gotta give them credit for doing it the hard way. Let's see if they play stupid or smart tonight.

just too many weapons for the knights.
3 goals for vegas. if they win tonight they're 15-0 these playoffs when scoring at least 3.
on the broadcast they said in their 6 losses vegas has scored just 9 goals.

If the Panthers lose this series, Tkachuk and Bennett should explore careers in the UFC, since they both enjoy fighting so much. Now, they also have in common the Conor McGregor KO of the Miami Heat mascot. Seems like a perfect destination for those two clowns. Christ, do they have to end every game they lose with fights? What a couple of sore ass losers!!!
P.S. I wouldn't mind it if Tkachuk lost his mouthpiece. Can't stand to see that thing hanging out of his mouth while he chews it to a pulp. Also, after rewatching the scrum at the end of game 4, I may have to withdraw my suggestion that Tkachuk explore a career in the UFC. I saw the flaming asshole got a few slashes in as his part of the melee, but he could not use a stick in his UFC bouts. Thus, when left to his fists, feet and holds, he would be pummeled, like should happen to him in the NHL. What is wrong with that sick fuck? He should be suspended for just generally being an asshole.
