There have been more than a few muggings in these playoffs and it's barely off the ground. What's with the officiating? Anyone else notice the lack of calls on some obvious plays like the Cam Atkinson breakaway in the 4th OT against the Bolts and Hedman's holding him down by the back of Atkinson's pants!?!?!?! WTF. What was that non call?

:iatp: The refs also had the same extended layoff for 4.5 months so they're going to show plenty of rust. I think the NHL has also given refs a memo to let teams play it out on the ice and limit the number of calls to ensure games move along. Old time hockey except there's way more speed involved.

I have to say the Canucks are a surprise against the defending champion Blues. Hovart's been scoring some incredible goals for Vancouver.

PPG, thoughts on that nasty Niskanen cross check to the jaw of Gallagher? Broken jaw = 0 penalty.

Personally, shocked the 2 refs Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman blew the call on that injury causing play while calling a BS 5 minute major & game misconduct on the Habs best player in the series, Kotkaniemi.

Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman blew the Niskanen broken jaw cross-check. Oh, then the duo failed to call Sean Couturier for blindsiding Has player after an empty net goal.

Terrible that Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman are ref'ing in the Stanley Cup playoffs. NHL should review these 2.

2 blown calls that could cost a franchise revenue.

Can we start a "Fire Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman" campaign somewhere? That's gross incompetence.

"Fire Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman" campaign :iatp:

As bad refereeing goes, that was bad. Even blood didn't provide sufficient proof of the stick infraction.
Certainly not NHL caliber refereeing.

I hate the Habs but I'm with you guys on this. No place in the NHL for bad refereeing in the playoffs.

Amateur hour by Chris Lee and Kyle Rehman. 

Also, Alain Vigneault's cheap shot comments about Gallagher being short leading to the cross check on the face was down right class-less. I've lost all respect for Vigneault. This should be the beginning of the end for him in Philly.

I think it's clear the Flyers HC just wants to get under the skin of the Canadiens. The problem is he is lighting a big fire under Montreal and we'll see how that works for him tonight in Gm6.

How about the Dallas Stars knocking off the Tkachuk-less Flames!

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    May 05, 2024, 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    May 05, 2024, 02:40:07 PM
  • Daddy: Also... Ive got a nice private island full of beautiful women to sell you. Pay me upfront and i will send you its coordinates. We call it the Virgin Daddy Islands. $5k reserves it for your future.
    May 05, 2024, 02:41:59 PM
  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    May 05, 2024, 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    May 05, 2024, 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    May 05, 2024, 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • STLBlues91: Ill be around the rest of the day for any talks
    May 05, 2024, 03:25:59 PM
  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    May 05, 2024, 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    May 05, 2024, 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    May 05, 2024, 05:15:18 PM
  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    May 05, 2024, 05:21:23 PM
  • Daddy: Until someone starts a minor league baseball fantasy game or option. Maybe we can petition fantrax? I just dont think they will care for that.
    May 05, 2024, 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.

    May 05, 2024, 05:26:33 PM
  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    May 05, 2024, 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    May 05, 2024, 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    May 05, 2024, 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    May 05, 2024, 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    May 05, 2024, 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
