from george parros' wiki page, when he was promoted to head of player safety. Parros plans on renewing emphasis on slashing and other "nonhockey plays." yeah, right. i think he's got to go. Maybe they should hire guys that were injured from dirty plays instead of guys that did dirty plays. parros had 158 career fights, and the guy parros replaced as head of player safety (stephane quintal) had 109. for whatever reason, it seems they think tough guys are the best people for that slot. edit: quintal did play over a thousand games so 109 fights isn't that much i guess. |

Is Vegas yet to send a message to the Oil for Kane cross-checking Pietrangelo in the face after play ended in the 1st in game 3,Drystruddle also slashed him in the same game or is that what we saw in game 4? I also saw Stone get flagrantly cross-checked in front of the Oil net with a ref lookin' right at it only to see the Oil go down and score.....that'll piss a team off too. Good, I hope they go at each other with sticks, fists and skates. Fuck the game, just get in there and cause mayhem. It will be entertaining and something to talk about and the league will love it and impose some horseshit minimal "punishment". Have a 'Snickers' jack....JK. You have been consistant with your criticism of dirty play,regardless of who the perp is though.....gotta hand it to you. The two-hander shoulda been more than just a game and I'm sure it woulda if 'Dry' was injured but he wasn't and I'll agree with you that AP shoulda whacked the guy who cross-checked him in the face instead of targeting a star player. I'll also agree that it was a violent looking attempt to injure but it didn't,we saw a player's rage boil-over,in the moment and he struck-out at the guy closest to him VS a premeditated plan to take a guy out of a series IMO. If a guy's calculted,he can open-up an opponent with a high-stick,make it look 'unintentional' and get four minutes too. Not disciplining Kane for a post-whistle,cross-check to the face and allowing brutal cross-checks to a star player's back just coming off back surgery has led to some bad things......do they continue? |

i see where you're coming from and don't disagree but i really think pietrangelo is overplaying the victim card here. I also agree with that. what he did was bullshit and should've resulted in a harsher punishment. what the Oilers have been doing is also bullshit and I don't blame Vegas for being pissed about it. maybe if the officials would've done something about it right off the bat, things like what he did or Nurse getting a game for a fight wouldn't have happened. That's the idea-----there should be harsh punishments from the first acts in order to deter them, or their kind, from happening again. If that doesn't work right awy, then simply make the punishments harsher-----30, 40, 50 games, or a full season. Of course, I am talking about punishments for acts that are unquestionably dirty and in no way a hockey play, like AP's slash. |

The officials have the ability to control any game. The answer for a particular game is immediate ejection. Then, the officials can do nothing more and are as dependent as the rest of the players on the actions of the department of player harm (safety), which is a complete failure. |

Being the only game, I would have thought they'd start it at a better time. 10 PM start for those of us in the east.

Yeah I’m kind of surprised at the start time too given that this should be quite a game. Also many Sunday night games during the regular season in Chicago at least start a little earlier just for home fans. Oh well . . . |

Just saw why it's a late start....damn ESPN has their Sunday Night Baseball game on before the hockey game. Whoever does the TV scheduling for the playoffs should be fired. When they have TNT, TBS, ABC, ESPN, and other options like Tru TV, ESPN 2, etc, there is absolutely no reason for any conflicts. When they televise 2 or 3 games and put 2 of them back to back on the same channel, forcing the 2nd games to be moved to Tru TV to start it's idiotic. Last Panthers game goes into OT, and the late game between Seattle and Dallas gets bumped to TRU. How about using 2 of your channels to televise the games, 1 on TNT and the other on a different channel. How stupid are these TV schedulers? |

I really hope the Oil pull this out. I really do. The Vegans are bothering me. Too much whining. Too many dirty plays. The playoffs will kinda suck if you’ve got Carolina/Florida Vegas/Dallas/Kraken. I know it’s just one of those years where every team that’s supposed to be there isn’t. Was hoping for a wee bit more star power. That’s why I’d like to see the Oilers there!!!

But T, can you even remember the last time Vegas played Seattle in the playoffs? seattle won the cup in 1917, beat the montreal canadiens. in 1920, seattle lost in the finals against the ottawa senators. no team for vegas back then. population was just 2,300 in 1920. : ) i was going to say that vegas back then couldn't have a team because it was too hot there but according to google, the first artificial ice in a hockey rink was made in london, england way back in 1876. and thus ends today's useless trivia lesson. |

I've been complaining about how they broadcast the playoffs going all the way back to when I'd record the Hawks home games even though I was at the game. Clearly remember the Hawks having the late game and the early game went into OT. They moved the Hawks game to another channel and didn't pick it up until halfway thru the game. |

i can't recall a playoffs where so often one goal by one team is quickly followed by a goal from the other.

idk if any of the goals skinner has allowed were bad goals, but he's not making the big saves and his body english out there doesn't look good to me.
i'd throw campbell in for the 3rd. it's worked well before.

I have no ill will toward McDavid, but fuck the Oilers. they started it toward the end of game one and then ran their mouths BIG TIME in game 2. that's all it took to piss off a veteran team in Vegas. in the end, the goaltending (and d at times) for the Oil did them in. however, a motivated group from sin city had a bunch to do with it as well... |
