The Good The Bad & The Ugly - Round 1 Game 1 - Sens vs Habs

For all of you complaining about the refs for that game, what's your main complain?

While I didn't like the misconduct on Subban, I understand why the call was made based on what the ref saw. I'm pretty sure he was none too happy to see Stone come back so quickly as well.

The penalty on Eller was justified.

The penalty on DLR is the only one I have an issue with.

The Sens got away with a lot of stuff but we got away with a few as well, including a blatant high stick by Subban.
 
BTW, what PK did last night, Claude Giroux does every few games but you never hear a peep about it on TSN, Sportnet, etc. Just saying.

no consistency at all.

When my friends who hate the Habs (Leafs fans) comment on the bad officiating, I know it was really bad. Sens play clutch and grab, interference hockey
 
While I don't necessarily agree with the call, it was an incredibly stupid decision by Subban.

But it worked out in our favour, plus now he should be looking to redeem himself and we know PK loves a challenge.

As I posted in another thread, blame the lack of flexibility in the rule not the refs who were merely the messengers and enforced it correctly.

NHL won't fine Senators head coach Dave Cameron but certainly will be a chat/warning about his comments from last night

It was consistently not called on either side, albeit worse offenses were committed by the Sens IMO.

So desperate. I guess they feel they need a suspension on PK to win the series?

Oh no, best player being targeted in the playoffs. What's the world coming to?

I don't know how seriously anyone should take Dave Cameron at this point. One of his friends died of cancer this week thus he was bound to get irrational in front of the microphone.

As far as the slash itself goes, it should have been a penalty and I don't think Stone was faking all of his pain when he was hit in an unprotected area of his arm. Just because it wasn't broken, didn't mean he wasn't hurt. But Subban is likely off the hook for a suspension for having already been ejected from game 1.

True. In the 25 years or so that I've watched the playoffs the refs always sided on putting the whistles in their pocket. Last night was not an exception.
 
What frustrated me with the refs last night was how it seemed so one-sided. And there was some very, very egregious penalties that should have been called much earlier on.

Subban's penalty should have been a two and that's all. The amount of times you see players gets slashed and go down, now is when you make it a 5 min penalty because Floppy The Seal falls to the ice like his hand was sliced? I know the NHL rulebook says that by the letter of the law, it's a 5+game, but the NHL rulebook also states that a hook is a penalty. Don't know about you, but the refs chose not to call any of the hooks last night. NHL rulebook states that interference is a penalty. Didn't call any of interference last night on either side. The refs were always picking & choosing what do and don't call.

I would agree with that. I'm sure it hurt like a bitch and he probably got scared that it was broken then went back with the therapist who made him do a few moves to verify if it was broke so when he confirmed that nothing was broke Stone came back to the bench. I don't buy the embellishment argument either.

@PxPOttawa I actually broke the news that Tiger Woods went into the Sens dressing room and fixed Stone's hand.

Hahahahaha.

My brother made the same joke last night.

Classic.

Just popped the bone back in. No worries.

Starting Game 2 is way too early for it to happen, but it would not surprise me to see Craig Anderson between the pipes at some point. If you're suggesting the media playing mind games, sure, anything goes.

They called one interference/hooking penalty on each side, it was even. :)

Eller and Subban had to be called.
