Nothing makes me happier than seeing the Oilers lose. It's gonna be fun watching Carolina win the Cup on home ice.

It was do or die last night and I think the Oilers died, dont see how they could come back from this now. I cant belive how many pp chances went wasted, when this is all over they will look back on what they did wrong that's a big reason, mind you it doesn't help when your starting goalie gets hurt in the first game. Funny enough I watched some of the classic cup game after, 1990 Oilers vs. Bruins and by todays reffing standards those guys got away with murder. I know they want to open up the game and lose the clutch and grab style of play, but the endless parade of penalties and whistles is killing the flow of the game somewhat, I think.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

the officiating is crap...the league can spout all they want about how much better the game is, scoring is up..yada yada..it's bullshit...i don't need to see 7 or 8 power plays per team per game...and some of the calls have been real head scratchers....if it keeps up like this next year, i don't know how long i'll be able to watch it

Quote:The New Jersey Devils on Tuesday hired Claude Julien as their head coach.
''Claude Julien brings experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and discipline that will complement the players here in the New Jersey Devils organization,'' said Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello.
Julien was fired as the Montreal Canadiens head coach in January of this year after three years behind the bench. In the 2003-04 season he led the Canadiens to a 41-30-7-4 record and into the second round of the playoffs.
Julien replaces Lamoriello, who coached the Devils for much of the season after Larry Robinson stepped down in December. The Devils were 32-18 under Lamoriello and won the Atlantic Division title thanks to an 11-game winning streak to end the regular season.

great move by New Jersey, i think it'll work out well for them...
I'm sad that Selanne resigned with Anahiem, he was the to free agent on my Montreal wishlist
...Selanne + Koivu + Kovalev = sick!

Somewhat? :lol: :lol: How about THERE IS NO FLOW AT ALL TO GAMES ANYMORE. The NHL is a joke right now with the new rules and officiating. I know I'm in the minority but that's how it is and I'm sticking to it. :thumb:
Colin Campbell had no answers for Ron Maclean. NONE!!!!! Of course, the players asked for this so they can't whine about too many penalties being called because they are responsible. The commitees that are full of morons like Linden, Shanahan, etc who have their heads so far up their asses they don't know what they are doing. Here's an idea I've come up to increase scoring chances in the NHL. It's simple really. LEARN THE EFFIN FUNDAMENTALS OF HOCKEY- PASSING, SKATING, SHOOTING! Ryan Smyth's own teammates are making fun of him for having a the shot of a pee wee houseleague player.
HAHA LOL at the Devils. Julien? What a hack coach. I won't laugh too hard though because indications are the Canucks are going to do even worse and hire bum Vigneault.
Auld or Legace? I guess it depends on the price. I think Legace is worth the risk, despite his lack of great playoff success.

Take it from a long time Red Wing fan.... Legace is the best backup goalie in the league. He has a great work ethic, but he does not have the psyche to be a #1 goalie in the playoffs. He has a poor playoff record, he wouldn't except the backup spot in Detroit and he wanted a raise to 4 million a year. I would release him just like Ken Holland did.

You're right. And what really drives me nuts is the lack of consistency. Staal blasts Spacek into the boards with what should have been at least a boarding call if not checking from behind, nothing, then Smith waves his stick in the direction of one of the 'Canes with 4 minutes left and boom then the arm goes up. Its a joke. The automatic delay of game for shooting the puck over the boards has got to go as well. Brutal rule. If its intentional even these clowns should be able to tell.

Ron's best moment when interviewing Campbell came when Campbell said the refs have a difficult job and the game moves so fast that you can't tell if a player is diving or not. Ron retorted that he could absolutely recognize a dive when he was refereeing. It's not too difficult to tell a dive. For instance, in the last game, Jason Smith took a comical dive to draw a penalty and later in the game Mark Recchi took a stupendous dive when Pronger barely tapped him. The dives are OBVIOUS.
Hugh, maybe you're right about Legace.

And if you started calling the dives consistently maybe they would stop doing it. It ain't brain surgery.

Colin Campbell asked Ron what should they do about dives, suspend players? Fine them? Well, duh!
