There have been at least 8 blatant head shots as debilitating and dangerous as those that got Kadri and MacAvoy suspensions and yet there is not a peep out of the league after the non calls. You have to question the integrity of the league starting with Bettman and the Department of Player Safety when you have 4 players injured with no response.
There should be no whining about the Eakin call because Vegas failed to do what 7,998 teams had done before them in a similar situation and killed the penalty without giving up 4 goals. They had their chances in OT as well. They received breaks from the officials in Game 2 and others. Colorado got breaks that had direct impact on outcomes as well.
The officiating AND the League's lack of response has been a travesty and a disgrace. Think Toronto fans would like to have seen the same treatment of Kadri that the Blues have received and what impact that susension has had on who's the East Champion?

Watch Petro hit couple times looks shoulder to shoulder with follow through driving Pavelski hard into board, of which don't move much in SJ. Lineman standing next to both so got a good look.

Hertl hit was late and high. Don't think it was seen or seen clearly so wasn't called. Non reviewable play.

Also you wont find much sympathy for head or high hits when it comes to SJ. Big Joe being the biggest offender.

C'mon refs! The Sharks are sinking!

And the Vegas Golden Whiners still complaining, What Bill Foley & Bettman having a break up, Guess no more free brothel passes from Foley to Bettman...

You're one of the biggest whiners on here! I've never seen someone cry on so much after their team won, and as the Sharks have kept advancing, so has your degree of babbling on about it...

Big trade rumor out there this morning that the Penguins have talked to Nashville regarding PK Subban. The return could include Phil Kessel. More to come



Yeah... because RW didn't do an article on this over a week ago. stealing from the site's writers, yeesh

No shot Pernell Karl goes to Pittsburgh unless Malkin comes the other way. That’d make more sense for both squads

Dear God, please do not allow a PK trade to the penguins, in Jesus name.... Amen.
I love PK, hate Pitt. Selfish prayer I know but I felt I had to.

- WhaleCanes

And how is pitt going to afford pk contract they do not have a lot of cap space. Pk is one of most overrated players in the league and sucks on defense to boot.

Agreed, the ratings speak for themselves. Most watched playoffs on record.

I know I have been watching, in a big way to see how the Refs blow the next call. And how it helps the Sharks now that they got half of their dream matchup to the Finals!!!

Does anyone know when the league will release the exact salary cap figures for the 2019-2020 season?

Win it in 7, Sharks, with a shutout in Game 6. No more 1980s terrible song Gloria, or that average coach Berube, or goon Bouwmeester.

Nailed it. You're not a hockey fan unless the team you cheer for makes the playoffs.

I would not touch Fill Kessel with a ten foot pole. His decline will be sudden and it is coming soon.

He hasn't missed a game in 9 seasons and has scored 70, 92, 82 in the last three seasons.

His contract is a steal for the offense he produces and it's only got 3 seasons left on it, not exactly enough to really handicap anyone if for some reason he does fall off a cliff. I would touch him with any pole [penis joke goes here before you hit submit]

"After further video review, it has been determined that Alex Pieterangelo covered the puck with his hand in the crease and will now be subjected to summary execution at center ice during the intermission"

He is in his 30's and having the best statistical seasons of his career the past 2 years and has not missed a game in a decade.

He's aging better than the vast majority of NHL players.
