It owns so hard. As a Sharks fan this is a very new experience and I would recommend it to the other 30 teams. Hope you can match these Silicon Valley checks my guy.
its 100% a pass directed by the hand. Its beyond ridiculous that a single team could have so many late calls go their way in a single playoff year.
I'm talking about fans. For the most part officiating is and has been bullshit and the fanbase didn't blink an eye. Then game 2 happened and suddenly Leafs fans were like "not only is officiating bullshit but the league clearly hates us personally and gives us the least amount of powerplays and why is no one else talking about this." Like yeah, we've all been there. It's just no one has any sympathy for the Leafs specifically and certainly not when they're using half-stories as evidence.
That's exactly what I'm saying dude thank you for coming to my TED talk.So the new narrative is that the Sharks always fell short in the playoffs because.... of bounces and bad luck? And that this goofy officiating is now some sort of karmic justice, righting supposed historical wrongs?
Much like the Vegas fans who are still screeching on every Sharks social media post and positing league-wide conspiracy theories, I am just playing the hand I was dealt this time around.
OK this is good
I'm legit curious now. When were these times?
Everyone knows the NHL bribed Vegas to have them let up 4 goals on a single power play, it's not really a conspiracy.
"a lack of integrity" lmfao you're all so serious now holy shit
Getting these sorts of calls right is not a tall order and does not necessarily require video review.
I think you're confused. He's talking about the league and them fucking up calls. Integrity = internal consistency.
I mean let's not kid ourselves, that goal should have been reviewable.
They haven't established parameters around it like they have offside call reviews. E.g., how long ago would the missed glove pass had to have been for it to matter? What about other missed calls? Maybe they just open it up to any infraction before the goal? What about a missed slashing call when the refs had been letting everything go until that point?
I think there are improvements that could be made to the offside challenge. E.g., maybe if the puck ever changed possession, that negates the possibility of a review.
It wouldn't negate the pass, because possession was never established by the blues player, even if it did grace his leg, which it didn't.
