I want our divisional opponents out ASAP, creating maximum panic for these 2 particular regional rivals. Colorado is coming out of this conference.

Which official was Marky yucking it up with, there? Be neutral stripes. Optics matter as well. It’s game seven, round one,…not end-of-year-play-out-the-season-‘cuz-we’re-already-in time of year.

The sea of red is relatively still & quiet. Hope it stays that way.

Hit to the head. In the BCHL you’re out of the game, pretty much even if it’s an accidental thing or not. Why should the NHL’s standards be any different? Isn’t the NHL ‘smart hockey’, too? Don’t these players care when they sign papers promising to abide by the NHL’s rules governing this game on & off the ice…and emphatically agree NOT to deliberately harm or injure one another, when they sign their contracts as union bros? If accidental…& you forcefully hit someone in the head - you’re probably still being reckless.

‘Lames…gheesh!

Nope!

Darryl’s suit & tie looks exactly like my dad’s. Get out of my old man’s closet!

Like Nashville that way!

Most of these Stars’ fans are standing already with just under 6 min to go!

Great series of plays just then for him…Brayden Point-esque even!

Hey, that’s holding! Hasn’t this junior ref seen enough & finally decided to assert himself?

Tripping behind the play on a Star, goes uncalled. Whistles all but away except for offsides, out of plays, goalie freezes & perhaps…another injury. And - not even sure about goalie puck freezings.

We’re about to see how valuable Tanev was to his team here. Just because Glendenning is on the DAL bench doesn’t mean he will be getting his regular ice time, either. Let’s keep an eye on that. Maybe he’s just there for PP time.

Good grief! Rome got 4 games for this in a Stanley Cup Final! Horton already had concussion issues & had a loose chin strap, too….& that was pre-DPS & 11 years ago! ^By that standard, there better be a suspension.

The Finnish players are all shining in this game! Stoaked about joining NATO!

There ya be!

Go Dallas Go!

It’ll be what the league wants. I’ve learned to be quite the fatalist about that. CGY has paid a lot of consultation fees to Brian Burke. Just seeing O’Rourke working any games makes me awfully suspicious, because for such a ‘bad’ old school ref, he keeps getting to work these plum games, in what is supposed to be this new & more progressive hockey era.

That’s the trend!

Viking power!

One of the league’s best fixers is working in this one. O’Rourke, is there to see that things go the league’s way. I believe a game 7 - it is for more revenue & they won’t call anything so that there will be more drama, to be misinterpreted. It’s his regular MO. ^Pretend to be blind as $&!?!!

^I see your gif & I’ll raise you - this one! Apparently, USA Hockey trains ‘em young & early to do this! “Johnny-Hockey” achieved style-points for in-game diving, as taught!

Crazy give-away!!! Phew!

Something was going on well behind the play there…but nothin’ called! Ahhh, I see…this game will be called just the way every cheater likes it!

CGY #13 trying to draw something there? What a ridiculous log roll! And - after all of his futile efforts…DAL scores!!! LOL
