12:30 Saturday games are stupid

I will be lucky if I’m home before the game ends

[waynerivers]

Let's hope we can get more than 5 shots on goal in the first period.

Blacked out here, due to playing the fucking lightning and every stream I find is Tampa.

Goal Chicky! Won't count though. Cause NHL.

[Surreylily]

NO WAY!    Their guy pushed our guy in to the goalie.     

[richkrt99]

Accurate call, but its still bullshit.

Im of the opinion they need to change the challenge rule to something that was directly involved with the scoring play.  Going back to a missed offsides a minute earlier or a missed played with a high stick is BS.  If they gonna do that, why cant they go back and challenge a BS penalty call and other shit.
Don't turn it into a game stoppage unless it is directly involved with a scoring play.

[Mickstix]

Didn't even challenge GI. They challenged a high stick from someone. Of course they were right (I guess) I never saw it and neither did the Tampa stream.

[Surreylily]

Gonna be one of those games.   Stooopid refs.   

[Surreylily]

Didnt see the high stick and no replay on it.

[Mickstix]

What was our 1st penalty for?

[Surreylily]

What was our 1st penalty for?

Bein the Caps.

[Surreylily]

Bein Willy......

[richkrt99]

No that was the last penalty - being the big Willy
this is some fn BS calls - yeah you could call them but 2 of them have been super weak
Caps 0
Lighting 0
Refs 1


Fn NHL wants the race to even up...call everything on the Caps today

[Mickstix]

Refs are trippin with this 

[Surreylily]

No that was the last penalty - being the big Willy

That was what I was referring to.
