Its spotty. The Poti trip wasn't as bad as the one before it, which could have led to a breakaway for Kapanen. <BR/><BR/>I also dislike Jeff Carter, for no other reason then hes on the Flyers and he rubs me the wrong way.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039943773609165616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-50910293511263751862008-04-24T07:07:00.000-04:002008-04-24T07:07:00.000-04:00Zot, adversity can definitely go on the list.Becky...Zot, adversity can <I>definitely</I> go on the list.<BR/><BR/>Becky, I see what you're saying but I guess to me it's just not news that the officiating is inconsistent. It's been that way all season. If there's one time I'm not going to test out what is and isn't going to be called it's in overtime of game 7 of a playoff series.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-47426989780018951092008-04-24T06:33:00.000-04:002008-04-24T06:33:00.000-04:00I don't care how long it's been since the last pen...<I>I don't care how long it's been since the last penalty was called, you tripped a guy.</I><BR/><BR/>Not to mention that the Caps got away with a ridiculously blatant trip about a minute before that. If you get away with it once, good for you...but if you're stupid enough to try it again right away, you deserve everything you're getting. Both teams got away with a lot leading up to that, but considering that the Caps were guilty of two of the most blatant infractions in quick succession, I don't see anything selective about that. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, players whining about officiating is pretty obnoxious, especially after a 7-game series.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439356875425631913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-86789612744699082522008-04-24T05:58:00.000-04:002008-04-24T05:58:00.000-04:00When the refs didn't call a single penalty in the ...When the refs didn't call a single penalty in the 3rd period, despite many opportunities, it appears to be deliberately giving the edge to Philly. Obviously the Caps could have overcome the disadvantage and didn't. It still seemed to be a bit of selective enforcement, especially after the bs goal.<BR/><BR/>I also wonder what went into the schedule-makers minds to put games 6 & 7 back to back. Didn't they think the series would last that long? Both teams looked tired with small adrenaline bursts as the game went on.<BR/><BR/>Excellent series though!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129097564605705248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-87390936471140850352008-04-24T01:24:00.000-04:002008-04-24T01:24:00.000-04:00some day I'm going to write a post about words I n...<I>some day I'm going to write a post about words I never want to hear again in sports and "classless" will be there</I><BR/><BR/>Can I add adversity to this list?

He's probably a decent human being, in spite of his gaffe of being a Flyer. But, I can't get behind someone throwing something at his head like that. He's right, that's really klassy.

It seems like it was in the way distant past at this point but it was once true. He's pushing it though so I'll keep "grinch (but that's not really the word I typed)" in mind :-D<BR/><BR/>He is going to be a free agent and although he and SJ have made some noise about how much they like each other, I'm not sure if he'll end up in SJ or not after this season. He's not really been impressive in the postseason and SJ doesn't have much of a history of giving out long extensions which is evidently what he's after. He and his agent made a bit of a fuss about the Sabres only offering him three years but that's what both Thornton and Marleau just signed for.<BR/><BR/>My personal prediction is that the Sharks will show some interest but not for the ridiculous terms Campbell is after and Campbell will end up signing a 7 year deal for an assload of money in Columbus or Phoenix and never be heard from again. (And we'll all live happily ever after.)<BR/><BR/>Yeah, go write some stuff on that blog.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-90451125893230848192008-04-23T18:26:00.000-04:002008-04-23T18:26:00.000-04:00Wow, I just noticed there is an entire section for...Wow, I just noticed there is an entire section for my blog! Thanks! Now the pressure is on to actually write something good!<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, hockey, right...Umm...Go Sharks! Did the Sabres trade Brian Campbell because he's going to be a free agent? If so, are the Shark definitely going to re-sign him?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how come Brian Campbell just has a regular tag and not a derogatory tag like "Sean Avery is a douchebag?" My vote would be for Brian Campbell is a grinch (but that isn't really the word I typed.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
