Around The League: 2016-17 Playoffs

The refs that gave the Preds 4 PPs to none for the Pens?

The non goal was unfortunate for the Preds, but from the refs angle it looked like Murray had it.
Come on dude. 100% good goal in cup final game 6 do or die tight game. I know ur wife is Pens fan but don't be biased.
Out of 4 Preds penalty maybe one wasn't deserved.

The refs are trained to blow the whistle once they lose sight of the puck - from the refs angle at the corner there was no conceivable way he could track that puck. There was no hesitation ref instantly blew the whistle even before the rebound popped out

Are you kidding? I just said it was unfortunate, but we see that call all the time. Ref blew the whistle cause from his angle it looked like Murray had it. It sucks for Nashville... but it happens... a lot.

It should have been a goal, but once the refs blows the whistle... it's too bad, there's nothing that can be done.
 
Nashville made it closer than I thought without their top (and only productive) centre. You can't win with 4 Danos down the middle.

Very true.
At the end Pens kind of deserved it with such an offense. They also had some luck as well but well in order to win Cup every team need luck.
It is amazing how this team with a thin depth on defense and on top of that couple of injuries in D managed to win it all. Shows the depth up front
 
Further proving you need a real #1 center to win. There hasn't been a team that's won in the last 30 years without one. The closest thing was Scott Gomez with the Devils, back when he was actually good and productive.

I don't think there's much debate anymore; Crosby's a top-10 player of all time.

He can definitely be mentioned in the same breath as Toews now.

Matt Murray is also damn good. Will give Price a push for Team Canada job.
