Is that true? Yes.
Does that make the call any better? No.

That’s not exactly accurate. Lest we forget Max getting a penatly for waving his stick at Miro, followed by no penalty when Pominville got blasted from behind into the boards 2 minutes later.
Inconsistant is the term I would use.

I was yelling at my TV after that. :bloated:
ok so after seeing tonights pens sens game i withdraw my statement. the reffing in our game was TERRIBLE, scuderi got injured on a hit from behind ( a vicious one at that) and we get offsetting penalties. and they got malkin on 2 BS calls. pitt deserved to lose regardless but either way fucking terrible refs tonight.
I’m glad they lost…
as for Dipietro, mediocre play from an opposing team can make a goaltender look WAY better than they actually are.
Hell, look at Ottawa… they manage to make Emery look like a star by having a good defense. But Emery himself is a freaking mess.
Bottom-line… The Sabres need to actually show up to play playoff hockey tomorrow night.
^ good point, emery does blow chunks, but he looks great if pitt only gets 15 shots
buffalo needed that loss. everyone has been in the mindset that were automatically gunna win the cup this year. i hope this wakes them the fuck up. they need to earn it. this series may be easy in comparison, but its not a gimme.
so who saw eaves get his fucking head taken off?
whats really odd is i injured eaves in my playoff series with them in NHL 07 today lol
The best part about the whole Eaves getting dropped part was the interview with Neil at the end of the period
he said something to the effect of, i think the hit was a little late…
I wanted to smack the MFer and show him a clip of another ‘little late’ hit

that was an awesome hit
that hit was pretty clean i though. eaves skating with his head down, WITH THE PUCK, coming behind the net attempting what seemed to be a wrap around… you gotta stop the guy, can’t just let him get a good scoring chance. when he got hit, the puck was still right with him, it wasn’t late at all.
i def. got angry with the Neil interview. what a fucking idiot for saying that. i hope buffalo does advance and get to play the sens now…

“he was in a vulnerable position” - Chris Neil on Eaves hit…
LOL
what a fucking retard. honestly, i wish neil had received the hit eaves got, i really hate that asshole.
now, do senator fans LOVE neil?
the hit much moreso reminded me of schaefer beheading TC in last years playoffs…even tho schaefer did lead with his forearm on the hit
there was nothing vulnerable about the hit, idiot came around the net with his head down right into a moving freight train and still had the puck when he got hit
eaves and connolly should have group concussion meetings after that one…
Can anyone find the video, i cant and I suck
only vid i see of it is on ESPN
where shockingly brian murray calls the hit clean :eek:
rewatching the hit, armstrong does come out of nowhere to make the hit, BUT his feet arent even moving, he just coasts in to knock eaves head off lol
Armstrong looked like a deer in the headlights after that first shift after the hit. That’s a great series - whoever wins that’s gonna be walking wounded though.
not that it belongs in here but there it is
i probably enjoyed that hit way more than i should have, definately a clean hit, unlike the hit on scuderi from behind…ghey. ive always like armstrong.
and +4 to neil being a scrotem
How could anyone call that late??
It was a clean, hard check. They way hockey SHOULD be played, as opposed to Neil’s cheapshot bullshit.
the shit is in the NHL section on the VS website
