I’m not the conspiratorial type, at all, but man oh man did the refs sure change their calls after Vancouver was eliminated from playoff contention. I recorded the game to watch after work and rewound to the point the new guy announcer said so during the game.

 

Up until 8:28 pm (approx time of Vegas/Dallas going into OT) or approx 12:30 into the 2nd period these were the number of penalties called:

 

VAN: 7

SEA: 2

 

After Canucks were officially eliminated these were the number of penalties called:

 

VAN: 1 last penalty called at 15:12 into the 2nd period against Schenn for tripping

SEA: 1

 

Dont get me wrong, I’m glad we won the game, but it sure seems the refs threw everything at the Canucks to keep Seattle in the game, which had they won also would have resulted in Vancouver’s elimination.
 

It’s far more concerning to me that the whistle went away exactly after that point then had the refs continued making soft calls on the Canucks, at least then you can say they had an off or biased game. With how it went in the timing of the drastic change it makes me even more suspicious.

The Canucks are in the bottom quarter of the league in terms of penalties called against them.

 

Sure, there are reffing issues across the league, but there is no ref conspiracy against the team, sorry.

What was the loud-mouthed mayor of Seattle saying about Vancouver this past off-season?

I think it was something about having a terrible expansion draft and team. Theres gonna be some serious growing pains for them. 

 

Cant wait for vegas’ turn. Its not enough for them to miss the playoffs. I want them to be talked about in the same category as the coyotes. “Yeah they had a few good years, but ended up just being retirement plans for the league darlings castoffs”

Never said it was against the team the whole season, just pointing out the curious officiating in this specific game comparing before and after Canucks were officially eliminated. I can tell straight up that there were more penalties that should have been called on Vancouver. Trips, hooks, interference, tons of them similar to previously made calls. Their play didn’t change after, but the calls did.

 

Let me be clear in case anyone misunderstands: I don’t believe there’s a league wide every ref 82 game effort to make the Canucks or any Canadian team lose games. That’s conspiratorial and utter nonsense. Is there favoritism in some Canucks games from the referees in favour of our opponents? I don’t think that’s arguable either. Was tonight one of them? Absolutely. Is it odd the timing of when calls were and weren’t made? I also think that’s unarguable.

Lol that'll never happen.. Vegas will never have money issues like coyotes so they can continue dumping bad contracts to coyotes and keep signing free agents

The game by game inconsistencies of refereeing in the game of hockey is as old as the game itself. But I get that some folks need an outlet for their frustrations and that’s a pretty easy one.

Not sure if it's just me, but looks like Podz get a piece of the OEL point shot

I think you didn’t read my post and just repeated what you said before.

 

This game had curious refereeing calls with odd timing. If you can’t agree to that I question your having actually watched the game with at least 2 or 3 obvious very weak calls against us. And no calls after we were eliminated, which should have been called if the prior consistency in reffing continued.

 

So once again and this time please actually read:

 

I’m only talking about this game specifically, not the season, not other games, not a secret league and ref wide conspiracy to deny Canucks winning games, this game only.

It was more of a comment on Miller, on how some on CDC are panicking on not trading him now. 

Millers no Stamkos tho.  

I like miller, but imagine getting a Schneider+ for him.  We would have a legit #1 finally.

I mean, the Canucks overcame this “adversity” (never mind that Boudreau said the Canucks deserved the penalties they got) and won the game 5-2. I’m having difficulty mustering up similar outrage like yourself.

Hey bud, me pointing out something doesn’t mean I’m outraged. It’s what people say other people are as a dismissive way to belittle another person’s view. It’s childish and beneath you I would hope 

 

We deserved the tripping calls, not the phantom broken stick cross check, the phantom hook by Miller or similar calls like that. I understand that you didn’t see it as I did and take issue with my view. Nothing more to be said really.

If Miller is 1/3 of Stamkos, that would be 1.0PPG 

 

We would HOPE Schneider becomes a #1D.  Dunno why you would automatically assume he turns into a #1D when they're so rare to begin with.

Never say never. Vegas is an untested market in pro sports. Ownership might have deep pockets. If the team struggles to make the playoffs. We will really see how the fans are.

Honestly even watching Canucks games in Vegas from home. It's so loud and obnoxious, I'd never want to see a game there. Vegas never had much appeal to me anyways.

Pods is good teammate and not one of those young guys who do the "Zegras" and shout (selfishly) Me! Me! Me!

So Pods will be happy for his teammate and celebrate his mate's goal.

Yeah Podz is a really humble kid.  He's gonna be a fan favourite for years to come.

doubt vegas will ever have problems drawing people due to tourist partnership with casinos doing promos etc.. let's just say only half the fans are interested in the teams.. they'll have no problem filling the other half with tourist alone.

If we have to move a F this year for cap space/d upgrades, I'm starting to rethink my Boeser vs Garland stance. I didn't realize Garland's points 47/50 were at even strength. Thats pretty impressive.

but that means that VegaS must never commit to a rebuild

That's impossible. Everyone on CDC knows at age 32 you're a declining asset......

Steven Stamkos - 101 points age 32

Steven Stamkos - 72 points age 25

 

Patrick Kane - 92 points age 33

Patrick Kane - 66 points age 24

 

Alex Ovechkin - 90 points age 36

Alex Ovechkin - 65 points age 26

 

Imagine having a career year at age 32. 
Imagine scoring more points at age 33 then at age 24. 
Imagine scoring more points at age 36 then at age 26. 
 

JT Miller - 97 points age 29

JT Miller - 58 points age 24
 

Imagine scoring 97 points at age 29 and the fans want to trade you for scraps because you are too old and will be in a major decline in 3 years.
