BTW did you see Vrana play tonight? He was awful. Turned the puck over almost veverytime he touched it. Gersich didn't play much but he made a couple rookie mistakes. He isn't ready.

A lot of guys turned the puck over on both sides. With last change I think Vrana or Gorsuch could work, then lines 2 & 3 can continue to be the threat they are. The fact is we don't have many good choices since the league decided to royally fuck us over Willy's clean hit. We are still fighting the Hens well and I don't think wholesale changes on all lines is the way to go.

The league favoritism for the Pens is very obvious and I'm sure it bothers guys like Backstrom and Ovi. They must be sick to death of these crybaby divers. I know I'm fed up with it. I'm very close to giving up on hockey like I gave up on the NFL and foir the same reasons.

Did the league collude with the Pens in G2 when the puck was clearly behind the post and the goal was waived off?
Mickstix:
So their big push for Willy was 1 PP goal?? Glad I checked the score before the DRV.. Figured as much. :poop:

Me too. But Trotz is a save looser.

--- Quote from: ArJunaZ on Thursday May 03, 2018, 10:38:51 PM Eastern ---Tarik said that Backy was seen and heard throwing his stick after the game and yelling "Fuck this League!". He obviously realizes the bias is really impacting this series AGAIN!
I thought the bias of the refs was as disgusting as we expected.

Maybe Backy should try and do something about it on the ice. Last year and this year, he has mostly been a non-factor in the playoffs. Yes, he can play good defense and occasionally makes a key pass, but he has consistently underperformed. It’s not good enough for him to be average.
