Don't like the Landeskog offside call. He's not considered part of the play as far as how many guys are on the ice, but he counts for offside as he's trying to get the bench door open?

Anyway I get that's the rule but it seems dumb. The obvious fix is just to not have one door of the bench inside the the zone.

The other obvious fix is **** offside reviews.

I’m all aboard the Sharks bandwaggon. Would love to see Thornton win. #sorrymarleau

Basically this. Though if I was to lean towards any specific team, it'd be St-Louis.
I might normally cheer for the Sharks & Thornton, but a win by them would have a big 'ole asterisk beside it with the way they got out of the first round.
Honestly though, I pretty much stopped watching after the first round. It grosses me out too much how weak the remaining field of teams is.

Same. Went from a super promising playoffs to a grossly missed opportunity.

The NHL is always trying to take away offensve numbers from the sport. I never get that.
Seeing it a goal went in is fine, but cocach's challenges was so stupid.

I've been thinking about this offside stuff...could the blueline being really thin help, or hurt? My brain hurts today, can't decide.

BTW, Grapes should have trademarked "Bunch of Jerks". How much money are they making off of it?

This league is such a ****ing embarrassment sometimes.

Looks like Buffalo might be ready to hire. Keefe won't be asked for an interview. They are considering Tippett and Jauques Martin.

That'd be great news.
That'd leave Anaheim, Ottawa & Edmonton as the only coaching vacancies.
And the Anaheim job is apparently already slated to go to Dallas Eakins once Anaheim's AHL team is done in the playoffs. If Keefe was even interested in Ottawa, he'd probably have to take a pay cut to go there. And I'd assume that Ken Holland will hire someone with a Detroit connection or someone from the old boys club for Edmonton.

I've been led to believe that what I just saw was impossible. Only Jake Gardiner turns the puck over like that in the playoffs allegedly.

I wonder what Babs thinking watching this conference final. It's burning me inside. He must be fuming.
