I was sick of it back during the World Juniors.

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

It's the first time I saw it. I think it's hilarious. *shrug*

During intermission, they talk about how Kucherov came in to "defend" point or whatever.  He should have gotten the instigator penalty too.  Jumped in and started a fight on a non-penalty hit.

I don't think Knies got an assist on the game-winner, but he was on the ice.  Out there for both the tying goal, and the OT winner.

He’s so due for a goal.  Last one 2 months ago vs. OSU. ?

It's kinda sad, if this Kraken game doesn't go OT, I'll be perturbed. Spoiled by the other games today. 😉

The fighting penalty was from after Point fell awkwardly into the wall, and Kucherov jumped O'Reilly and started punching.  Refs initially called a major for boarding so they could review it, and after review, determined (correctly in my view) that it was a clean hit.

If Kucherov took his gloves off I missed that

Well yeah, but he's the only person on the Kraken that I dislike, other than essentially the entire Colorado Avalanche organization (with a couple exceptions on the roster)

I might be willing to take the helicopter option at this point. Today's hockey has been INSANE. The helicopter option would prob calm me, and I didn't even have a horse in the race!

I can’t believe they still schedule playoff games 2.5 hours apart on tv and think they’ll be on time.

If the Wild weren't the hometown team I would never even say it out loud.  I never liked it.

But Kraken is just ridiculous and their color scheme is just wannabe San Jose Sharks from the 90s.

Nice rationalization. 😉 
That being said, I don't judge a team by their name, I go by actions, rivalries, etc. Smile

Wild wasn't my first choice at all, but I think the name and the logo represent the wilderness in Minnesota just fine.  I too would have gone with Voyageurs.

Oh gosh no, that would probably have produced an even more hideous color scheme.  Not to mention that sounds really cartoonish for a name…

Amazingly Wild wasn't even close to the worst choice.  Freeze?  Puke.

You could have written this!

White Bears could have been awesome only for the Fargo clip, "Go Bears!"

Yeah 2 for boarding was the right call. He literally saw the D man coming and chose to turn that way. Terrible decision.

I like it for the Mets, but it's getting too common, yes.
