I knew this was gonna come up.

Marchand's shoulder actually didn't make contact with Salo's thigh/knee (kinda hard to tell if he hit Salo under the knee). Also Salo's stick never made contact with the puck when Marchand hit him which made it the hit even dirtier.

When you look at Ballard's hit, his hip actually made contact with McGinn's thigh. He also made contact with the puck before he got hit.

Another thing that pissed me off was Marchand punching Salo twice instead of battling for the puck. Burrows would never do that.

I thought Lucic's replacement was Shawn Thornton? If not well I was wrong then.

I'm not sure what the Luongo situation was. Maybe it was AV's move maybe it was Lou's idk but you're definitely right about that. I was actually upset that he didn't start the game. I thought for sure that Luongo was gonna start that game and try to get a little revenge win from Boston.

And yes I would love to see a Nucks vs Broons SCF rematch.

Gotta love seeing Tortorella still on top of his team and not giving them an inch of breathing room even with the immense success they have had.

and marchand gets 5 games

 

[The Guid]

Was thinking around 2 or 3, not that I'd agree with that either, but it's whatever. They scored 9 w/o him so it might not be too bad lol

 

[germany00]

Ya, i saw the hit in the highlights or whatever, and it almost kind of looks like marchand didnt try to clip, but just hip check. im not sure, tough call to make. But Salo was coming in slow and without and threat, so even a proper hip check wouldve been unnecessary

Preds vs avs tonight, legggo

 

[NV]

Damn, another win for the Rangers.

 

[germany00]

weoooo ellis with another 2 point night, and the preds win 4-1

 

[vikesfan]

Was at the wild game, we were up by 2 goals and the sharks scored twice within 20 seconds. Still won the shootout, but what an ugly win.

 

[germany00]

In the west any win is an amazing win lol, like 3rd to 10th place are only 4 points difference lol

true...but still not happy with 3rd period and overtime play

 

[germany00]

Ya, i hate those games too. The wins that you dont really deserve because youve been clearly outplayed. Much rather have a game that we deserve the 2 points

It was almost like they were happy with a tie...really frustrated me and everyone around

 

[germany00]

Its almost better to lose when you deserve it then lose when you dont deserve it :/ just gets you frustrated and you doubt your team

 

[germany00]

Weeeeeoooo preds beat avs again, 3 game winning streak

 

[TTN2810]

Jets actually lost at home tonight. Grr. We need to pick it up here soon. If we would have won tonight we would have had the 8th spot, but now, were a few points back.

 

[germany00]

Typical for the east's 10th to 7th middle of pack teams. Lose one game and you have to win like 3 to be back in a playoff spot. Its alot like the west, except with west its from like 4th place to 11th :/ hate it

 

[germany00]

Stammy just hit 30 goals, that was fast

 

[iInsulin]

Flyers and Predators could be interesting tonight. Lets just make me happy and get a deal done where Suter ends up in the visitor's locker room.
