max21 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I keep reading about the hit that Oshie made on Miller shoulda been a penalty but they never call that in the NHL, just whiny Knights fans that don’t know hockey. That’s physical play, he made a good play and dumped it back to Backstrom which set up the goal. It might seem like a high shoulder hit but Oshie played that beautifully.

Yeah, it was shoulder to chest and then Millers head whipped forward and hit Oshies helmet. Definitely not a penalty, funny to hear Vegas fans complain when their guys play so dirty. I think the 2 goals Vegas scored late last night when we let off a bit was good for us. Something Trotz can point to as a problem and that they cant let off at all.

A few early rebounds out straight, missed with a blocker on a shot that hit the side of the net early, was a bit hesitant on Vegas' first goal. It's fine. He was good enough. But he's better that he played. I thought he ended up making some huge saves and he was still in good control and had good positioning most of the game. Sometimes it's just a credit to the other team and the way Vegas came out, they deserved better than what they got early on. I was really happy to hear him say they need to look at some things and clean some things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Neal and Deryk Engelland both had worse hits, Neal on Orpik and Engelland on Kuzy. Vegas had 4 PP last night, 2 in game 3. The Caps had 7 in the first 3 games combined (1 in game 1, 2 in game 2, 4 in game 3). So to recap, in the 2 games in the Vegas barn the Caps had 3 PP, while in the two games in the Caps barn the Knights had 6 PP. And somehow the officiating treated the Knights unfairly? Yes, the Caps had 3 more PP opportunities than the Knights over the 2 games in DC, but the Knights had 3 more PP opportunities than the Caps in game 2. And the biggest penalty in Vegas was not called - cross checking on Reaves to tie the game, otherwise this was a sweep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dished out far worse than anything the Caps did. Didn't Wilson get hit in the face with a stick with the linesman between the him and a Vegas player (Reaves)? Wilson would get suspended for that or if he had a hit on a Vegas player that was similar to the hit on Oshie along the boards at the end of the game.

It seems to me that there a couple of Knights who deserve a penalty. Heck, several had to be kicked off the ice. The guy you mentioned, number 75 was really hitting below the belt and taking a bunch of cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMGM is a good GM. 12 active guys are this team were selected by GMGM and it's not like he was constantly picking at the top of the first round in drafts. He put together the best team in the West and has a lot of assets at this disposal going forward. GMGM draft Kuzy 26th overall in the 2010. 25 other GMs passed on him. Holtby was 93rd overall in 2008 and either Holtby or Kuzy likely wins the Conn Smythe on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great drafting, very poor trades and free agent acquisitions. Plus, **** him for letting Filip Forsberg get away for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallant, on day 1, was a good hire for this season but there were already questions about whether he would be a good hire in year 4. With the Caps, it was Cassidy. Hanlon. Oates. Hunter. Boudreau was promoted as interim and kept the job. He passed on Jon Cooper for Adam Oates. He traded that player for Martin Erat and Michael Latta.

Back in the day you either root for the home team or have no rooting interest. Can you really be a fan of a team you have no way of following? What are you gonna do, read box scores?

BALLz Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think the thing with the Oshie hit that has some upset is that after contact he throws his elbow in the air, and from behind it looks he elbowed the dude. but the side view shows that's clearly not what happened.

Says online the max is 11"x17" so its gotta be pretty short and sweet. The Needs Better Commentators was great and I hate Pierre too so anything with him sucking something is the right direction, but I don't want to put anything that could get me kicked out. Anyone else going? Just a thought would be that it might make sense to focus on Caps rather than salt on Vegas. I have no idea what the atmosphere is like at T-Mobile Arena, but it might result in needless trouble with morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
