1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 I may be biased with this comment, however the New York Islanders have officially resorted to GOON SQUAD TACTICS!!! I mean how many cross checks are going to have to happen before the zebras get ahold of Mayfield, Clutterbuck & Martin!!! These dudes playing with desperation dirty!!! TBL-2 NYI-1 Lots of crosschecks go un-penalized in the playoffs. All teams crosscheck. They probably should be penalized, but they're not. For instance, Goodrow crosschecked Cizikas in the neck in game five, no call. You referring to Mayfield's crosscheck on Kucherov? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I figured I would lean toward Vegas since I always cheer for the Western teams but I have to say I have enjoyed the underdogs (as I do often as well) in both series so much. It is wild that Habs were a 500-1 odds to beat Vegas and yet they did it. The Isles got stomped in Game 5 and then comeback and win in OT in Game 6. Fingers crossed for them.. :scared: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) It will be interesting if it's NY in the final. They've gone full goon in this series, and the Habs flop worse than soccer players. Habs fans will be lighting up the 911 switchboard trying to get guys arrested like they did in 2011 with Zdeno Chara. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/canadiens-fans-call-for-charges-against-chara-1.1080929 Edited June 25, 2021 by edhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think the Habs may have just let the series slip away . . . Maybe I spoke too soon? They didn't fold and blow away, that's sure. I definitely spoke too soon! Allez les Habs! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give examples. :) Barzal, Mayfield, Martin, Clutterbuck and Palmieri have all been dirty this series. Palmieri is the worst because then he turns around and tries to look innocent when guys come after him. He did that all through the Boston series as well. Hard hits are one thing, but when you are doing it with the intent to injure and get players out of the game that's f***ing dirty. They did it to Carlo in the Boston series and to Kucherov here.

pjbear05 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I keep looking at replays of the hit to Kucherov, and tbh I think it aggravated something from the previous cross check. Not so much a questionable hit imho. That being said, tonight's gonna be a war. Buttman better advise the officals to keep their heads on a swivel and their eyes open.

Funny how biases work. All playoffs long Isles fans are complaining about the officiating, complaining about players on other teams taking liberties on Isles players and not getting penalized. Barzal gets crosschecked and speared all game every game and it almost never gets called, but then HE gets called when he gets frustrated and retaliates. See how that works? He got a major, a game misconduct and a $5000 fine in game five. The Isles getting preferential treatment? Yeah, right. Every team's fanbase thinks the refs and the league are biased against them. In the end, this stuff tends to even out. As I said to Crimson yesterday, every team crosschecks, especially in the playoffs. A lot of those checks could be called, but most aren't. The Islanders don't have "goons" like Tom Wilson on their roster who intentionally try to hurt people, but they do have guys who hit and play hard. Either play hard back or go home. I keep looking at replays of the hit to Kucherov, and tbh I think it aggravated something from the previous cross check. Not so much a questionable hit imho. That being said, tonight's gonna be a war. Buttman better advise the officals to keep their heads on a swivel and their eyes open. Some Bolts fans want to blame Mayfield for injuring Kucherov and taking him out of the game, because you need a villain, right? Kuch got up slow from that hit but seconds later tried to hit Barzal against the boards and missed, and that's where he got hurt. Just need to watch the replay. Would he have tried to hit Barzal if he was already injured enough to leave the game? Edited June 25, 2021 by 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 As a neutral observer and just a fan of hockey in general, I haven't seen anything dirty in either of these series. Heavy play for sure. Lots of cross checking and interference type infractions not being called. But not dirty and evenly called between teams. A heavy game is a good tool to use to take a high skill team out of their comfort zone. I should hope the Isles keep at it for their own sake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
