However, your point about the PP PP's is also very relevant

I understand where you’re coming from Lily.
Remember on the old board, around the time I was just a newbie, and AJ put out that chart that showed the referee bias?
That was really eye-opening for me, and it did definitely show that, at a minimum, there were several teams, including us, that came out on the short end of the stick with the officials, as well as some that seem to be abundantly favored!
My bigger point is that the Caps of been extremely successful team, in spite of the refs calls, demonstrating an uncanny ability to overcome the issue. So that, even if that is the standard, a given if you will, not only is it out of our control, but we’ve been successful anyway!!👍
Tonight we were not that team!

There could be considered an even bigger conspiracy.
Who here thinks that the Vegas Knights would ever have been allowed to win Lord Stanley at their first attempt? From a mish mash, a cobbled together team, comprised of unwanted, or expendable players from other teams.
We were never, ever going to lose that final. The NHL would neer have allowed it.
You DO know the NHL controls/owns/governs the Refs, right? There is NO independent body to govern them. The NHL owns them. They do what they're told if they want to keep their jobs.

OK, LIL!
It’s just a touch out there, for me, but I do like, and respect, the spine it takes to say it!
(Most of the folks I like, are a touch out there, anyway!)😁
Good to be back in the swing of chatting a bit w/ya! Don’t know how you stay up so late! Props!

Our power play was garbage. Really needed them to come through to get a win here...
I felt like we were driving play for most of the game, and the Carolina goals were from lucky counterattacks. It's kinda disheartening when you're spending all this time on the attack and one broken play leads to an odd man rush and the opponent scores on their first try. Felt like that happened too much here...
Surreylily:
I think we should have hit more. taken them harder, earlier. We were on the 2nd of a back to back, they were on the first of their back to backs. We should have taken the sting and the wind out of their sails.
They would have wanted to avoid us and keep something for timorrow, right
