I don't know why you can't kick it in, if someone is holding your stick or obstructing it you should be allowed to use your feet. |

When Mackinnon scored one of the most beautiful goal of the stanley cup playoffs, I thought they were done.
But they regrouped and scored again.
I also think that Kuemper looked extremely shaky when things got tough.
I had the Avs winning as well, and they probably will.... but the Blues are an impressive bunch of hard workers. - Scabeh
Avs are a team with only ok goaltending, but really excellent skill. If I had to chose to watch a game as a hockey fan, not a Leaf fan, it would be between two teams with exceptional skill. Players like Makar and McDavid, not plugs that can get away with dirty hits hard workers.

The Blues aren't plugs or devoid of talent. There are plenty of very good hockey players on that team.
I can appreciate a team with less star power giving everything they have to win a game and overcome what is supposed to be a "superior" opponent.
Basically, I love cheering for the underdog.

and because you cheer for the Habs and they suck and have no talent and their logo looks like a toilet seat. You love losers.
Am I doing this right guys? |

Husso needs to be better. Also their defense is pretty sparse. Parayko is great and Faulk has been shockingly decent after looking like he was falling off a cliff and Leddy has been decent in stretches...but other than them it's a bit ragtag. |

There’s no way to expect rigid consistency when it comes to rules like kicking the puck or even running the goalie. The circumstances are so specific and minute that it becomes silly to expect exactly the same kind of ruling. A slight change of angle of the skate or a few extra degrees of movement have to be interpreted based on available camera. The key is the calls are made based on interpretations and people will disagree. - Canada Cup
Consistency in enforcing any rules in hockey is difficult.
As with gymnastics, I dislike any element of judged sports.

See to me this feels like saying in soccer I don't know why you can't elbow a ball into the net if your not tall enough to get up over the other players during a corner kick to head it in.
Wikipedia has this as part of their explanation of hockey, I'm not saying they are the ground truth on all things but it does paint the picture of what hockey is all about and the mention of a stick and shooting the puck into the net using the stick seems to be a fundamental part of it:
Ice hockey is a contact winter team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance and shoot a closed, vulcanized, rubber disc called a "puck" into the other team's goal.
But yes, I'm a grumpy traditionalist when it comes to hockey for sure.
End of the day the rule as it's written now sucks and leaves far too much gray area - I think most people agree with that?

Campbell was very good in the series and didn't have a legacy player on a hot streak take over his job only to lose it because of injury and continue to poop the bed...but sure the defense is about the same in terms of what they got done. I would add that Gio aside from 3 bad moments in 7 games was consistently strong. |

Poster boy for the Blues is Robert Bortuzzo - really hard worker. 6 points in 73 games and -4. He's there because he is a hard worker, just like the coach. Now there is an underdog for you.

My favourite Habs quote was the one we all saw for what over 365 days......
"Did Scott Gomez score last night?".

So you're taking the worst player on the team and making the blues a team of Bortuzzos?
Are the Leafs just a bunch of Simmonds? |

Simmonds has 102 career PP goals, age and injuries have slowed him. Comparing him to Bortuzzo is next level. Simmonds dressed for two playoff games.

You're right, clearly Bortuzzo can somehow contribute to his team's success since he won a cup and is now in the 2nd round.
It's not fair to compare him to a guy that's so broken, he couldn't get dressed more than 2 games in the first round.
