Yeah, basically. Is Bryan Murray the guy with the fucked speech impediment? I was trying to figure that out earlier.

I guess I'll find out at his 1st press conference.

he was the head coach of the wings from about 90-93 or so...just before bowman

[quote="TGB!":0cc12][quote:0cc12]Another example is Ferences Charging penalty with 1 minute left in game 7 last night. As I said before, penalties should not be called when the game is on the line.[/quote:0cc12]

I'm not a Hockey fan, but I gotta disagree with you here. In all sports when the "game" is on the line - all calls have GOT to be called, seemingly frivilous or not. Not calling the call could result in a team that was within striking distance, being tossed all the further back. Thats how important these things are. In basketball - rock: - sometimes it comes down to that last call, a foul on a shot that misses by a half inch, but isnt called just costs the other team the game. I've even seen announcers champion this "omg this is the playoffs how are you calling that obscure call" but then get pissed when other calls dont get made. I'm for call it when you see it regardless of the situation. Part of sports IS exploiting calls to your benefit.[/quote:0cc12]

I know what your saying. The problem with the NHL is sometimes the call is made, and sometimes it isn't.

If the league said: "this is what you call and this is what you don't call no matter what time it is no matter what game" then i'd have no problem with it. The players would then know what they can and can't do in regards to geting a penalty. However, this is not the case. Some reffs stick the whistle in their pocket during important games, and some call so many penalties it disrupts the flow of the game.

Still, I know its kind of rediculious to say call this penalty in Januray, but don't call it during the playoffs, but I really think this is the way it should be. All I want to see is the players play the game with out the outside interference of officials.

St. Louis is crazy though...the dude gets nailed left and right and gets up right away. Reminds of of gilmour...a gritty small guy who doens't let people push him around.

Quit the fighting...Tampa won...Calagry lost...both played well...both deserve to be commended.

TonyMontana · 06-09-2004, 03:39 PM

yea, st louis was gashed wide open, u have to call that

bukdez · 06-09-2004, 04:11 PM

First time in Stanley Cup history that the Losing team had more goals than the winning team.

14 Goals for Calgary in the 7 game series.
13 Goals for Tampa Bay in the 7 game series.

GO FLAMES GO!

Just hope Iginla doens't want more money. It's like saying Tampa would of won the cup without St. Louis, Richards or Lecavier.

13 Canadians for Tampa.

17 Canadians for Calgary.

Although Calgary has 28 players on teh roster while Tampa has 24. Thats mainly due to injuries and such.

Iginla isn't going anywhere. There would be a major ouctry if they let him go. Hes not selfish, and he wants to finsih what he started. I bet most of the guys want to stay here because they feel like they have unfinifshed business. Of course we wouldn't be here without Iginla. He's the best player in the world. He can be counted on to come up big and he did time and time again. TAmpa did a good job of shutting him down in games 6 and 7.
