The Everything NHL Thread

Not throwing my hat into whether or not they do rub their wounds with "rough gloves" to induce bleeding, but jesus, I sure as hell hope they don't.

Not for the moral sportsmanship reasons, but for the hygienic ones. Namely, what I remember of hockey gloves when I played (well all hockey equipment) is that they are absolutely rank. Like nasty ass sweat infested smelly POS. I'm aware that as professionals they probably have some special cleaning treatment but still...if they really do rub open wounds with those disgusting cesspools of germs and bacteria...

ew.

also fuck the refs in rangers vs. washington game 5. fuck them to hell.
 
Nobody cuts themselves with a sweaty, disgusting glove. It's physically impossible, unless they implant a razor blade in the palm, which is just retarded. This isn't the WWE, Ward biffed him pretty good.
 
strange I haven't heard anyone condemning all the racist tweets about Ward from the New York series, meanwhile at the end of the Boston series people on TV and this thread were like "omg Boston fans so racist!" As I said before, this is not a Boston problem, this is a scour-the-internet-for-the-worst-possible-shit-and-pass-it-off-as-journalism problem. Media narrative much?

The loss is entirely because the refs swallowed their whistles for the Rangers and then called a huge penalty on the Caps.

You can't simplify an entire hockey game to one reason. And if we were, we could give the Caps at least 2 wins so far for that reason alone so please stop whining. The Caps had plenty of chances to end that game. They had to last for 7 more seconds and they would have won. They couldn't, they have nobody to blame in the end but themselves.

We all know the refs have been horrible and the league has been equally as bad at dealing with on-ice incidents in these playoffs. But the refs don't decide the games and you know it. Just like with the Bruins, you still have to go win the game even if you're put in a bad spot. You are complaining way more than the teams themselves and you don't even have money or fame riding on this series lol.

Incidentally blading has been out of practice in the WWE for about a decade.

Hoping for a Kings/Devils final at this point, want Marty to get one more ring before going out with a bang (assuming he does retire).
 
Whether I'm delusional or not I doubt it is impossible to make yourself bleed with your glove. We do know that hockey players embellish every penalty committed against them.

lol@jrrrrr for taking shots at me when he was furious that the refs didn't fall for Marchand's dive. Also, the NY/WSH fans making racist tweets didn't get big coverage because the story was played out at that point. If Ward had scored the first round goal to take the Rangers out the story would have been the same with NY in Boston's place.

1) I'm not "taking shots" at you, I am trying to point out how annoying it is to see 3 out of 4 posts in this thread be you complaining about inconsequential ref decisions. At least when people normally rant they keep it in one post. The refs suck, they suck for every team. There aren't a lot of posts in this thread so seeing one person flood the thread with useless ranting really stands out.

2) That Marchand play wasn't a dive. Let me hit you in the face with a hockey stick so hard that it draws blood and then maybe you will be qualified to tell me it was a dive if you don't hit the ice. Unless you want to stick by your accusations of Marchand intentionally cutting his own face to draw a penalty.

3) I agree that the Ward story has been played out, as I said, it was a non-story the first time it happened. I just want some consistency from the brave knights insulting Boston fans and lumping them in with racists. Just gotta let them know that they have some more battles to fight!
 
I wanna say, I haven't heard any Boston fans being racist... the most I've heard from a Boston fan is "fuck the caps," which is to be expected. I also haven't heard any caps fans being racist. The internet is a big place, and if you want to find someone who's racist, you can do it if you try hard enough. I didn't actually hear anyone complaining about racist Boston fans, except for you complaining about people complaining about them, but whatever. This kind of confirms for me that it's a non-issue.

Refs are bad, but they could be worse - at least they aren't basketball refs!!

Didn't see Marchand's dive live, but quite frankly, that is a grade A dive. And I KNOW my dives.

This is the dive I was referring to.

I think maybe you think I meant the one where Marchand drew the penalty. I still hold that that was a dive too but this is the obvious one I was talking about.

Also, notice the guy who got his face sliced by Halpern never put his glove to his face because who the fuck would touch a cut with their glove. And notice he was on the bench for some time getting cleaned up.
 
That was the play where Marchand got hit in the face so hard that it drew blood. Are you still seriously saying that was a dive? It's amazing how you could post two gifs of it and not even see this. Why do you think he grabs his face at the end? If that gif was 5 seconds longer you would see Marchand going to the bench with his face bleeding.

You're free to come to my house, there's a rink nearby we can use to try and recreate the play. You can be Marchand and you'll try not to fall over as I hit you in the face with a hockey stick. If you don't fall to the ice I will retract every post I've made in this thread and never post again. Deal?
 
Whose stick hits him? The only contact is Marchand's hands on Chimera. His face probably got cut because he hit the ice so hard.

Are you still pushing this "cut self with glove" conspiracy theory? There are two reasons players put gloves to their faces after getting hit there:

1. They're trying to make sure the refs notice so they'll call it
2. They just got hit in the damn face, it's an instinctual reaction

Nobody cuts themselves with their glove. NOBODY.
 
Whatever.

Can't believe Holtby lost his SO on that goal. Hagelin was all over him. He had Holtby's leg tied up between his legs as the goal was being scored. I don't know that Brodeur or Roy in their primed could make the save but Hagelin didn't give Holtby the chance because of interference.

Just pisses me off that calls are going all NY late in close games.

I used Google to try and research if hockey players try to cut themselves with their gloves. Check out the first result:

Ugh. That's pathetic.

Everybody needs to stop complaining, especially Wikey. We have ceased to talk about actual hockey in this thread. Let's all agree to the following stipulation:

REFEREES SUCK, USUALLY MORE FOR ONE TEAM THAN THE OTHER.

Now move on with your fucking lives.
 
What kind of moron made this playoff schedule?? There are no games the next two days. I really want to like the NHL, I really do. But they're not making it easy.

I'm 100% convinced they are trying to recruit everyone to watch the NBA playoffs. The leagues must be working together somehow. Thank god someone finally agrees with me in this thread. I hope we all enjoy our vacations from NHL watching. They can't suspend players but they can suspend the entire playoffs....unreal. "Hello NBA? It's the NHL. You win. We're not even going to put a game 7 between two of the biggest markets with some of the best players in the league on a Friday night because we don't want to interfere with your first-round game 6s. Have a great week!"
 
Way to get trolled.

A) There is only 1 game left in this entire round.
B) Saturday is probably the most available day for anybody to watch sports ever.
