Anything goes?

Or a full 60 minutes with both teams having a player in the box.

Everyone wins!

It’s gonna either be everything called or nothing. I don’t know what to expect other then the refs will probably be nervous lol

Yikes. These coaches must fear that saying anything other than what they have would result in them being blacklisted by these game management pimps.

Clearly they feel the gun barrel in the temple.

Yuk. I wouldn't mind a Baertschi in that lineup, for some skill at least.

Well that's what you get when 5 key forwards are potentially out with injury. Making a lineup is like moving deck chairs on the Titanic!

 

Of course Baer is in Utica so would have to go through quarantine to play in Canada, so isn't a realistic option anyway.

That would be interesting...

 

Solidarity amongst the corrupt?

 

They put the whistles away league-wide?

It’s interesting. I think If they want to eliminate “game management” that’s gotta come right from to top to the refs.

 

It’s a known fact that games are called differently each game.

 

My eyes really opened up in the Montreal series. That was criminal imo.

 

I understand that it is a tough job and easier for us to look at replays from our couches but games like the ones in Montreal really make you wonder.

Yeah, the Montreal series, cemented there status as game managers (imo) cause I ve live in other countries were games are openly being fixed & managed and (like you imply) the officiating in that series was atrocious.  Even the post game highlights was giving them cover: no mention or highlight of the obvious interference that cause the Anderson breakaway in OT.

A great goal tender can take a team a long way. A hot goal tender can allow a mid road team beat some of the best in the league. 

No problem for the NHL.

 

They just call tons of penalties allowing teams to have a better chance at beating a hot goal tender.

I would think the opposite would be more effective.

 

Call every single stick infraction the way the rules are written now. Have the game take like 4 hours to complete.

Wouldn't be the worst idea. No sense in having rules if they aren't followed.

Better yet call everything against one team and nothing at all against the other, that’ll show ‘em.

Love it.

Thats a whole new world of sports reconfiguration right there.

A little less conversation - a little more action.

 

Or you´ll loose your job.

I heard Alain Vigneault may get canned if Flyers don’t make playoffs. He’d have my vote.

Lol.  While we are at it with don't we try and get Crow back.   If AV can't coach a vet team with that much youth into tie playoffs, what makes you so sure he can do better here?   Why not Julien?  He's actually won a cup.   Not saying we couldn't do better - but careful what you ask for.
