What part of ultimate power are you having trouble with? The ultimate or the power part? Consensus my ass. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-kings-game-three-20100420,0,1669406.story. Quote "Even a couple of Kings' players thought Daniel Sedin's goal was going to count, and were (pleasantly) surprised when it was waved off after a painfully long review lasting about six minutes Monday night at Staples Center. In the end, there was one man's opinion largely determining the matter and it was NHL vice president of hockey operations Mike Murphy saying that Sedin had kicked the puck in." Did you heard the interview at the end of the game when he contradicted himself and the rules? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/04/nhl-kings-canucks-stanley-cup-playoffs-.html The on ice official ruled it a goal and Mike the Fixer overturned it after 6 mins. Any time it takes that long you know it going to be BS call. According to NHL rules video review has to be conclusive before the on ice ruling will be turn over. That was far from conclusive and everyone except Mike agrees. Hell even some of the Kings' players thought it was a good goal. It is a BUSH league because of garbage like this. It is no wonder why bowling has higher TV ratings. Don't be naive any time money is involved, there is and will always be rigging. Some Pro sports ie soccer, baseball have been jammed up over it. The NHL just hasn't been caught YET.

From the CBC Earlier this season, NHL GMs made it clear they would prefer the War Room in Toronto make the final decision on all video reviews, not the on-ice officials. The final straw for a lot of them was Steve Ott's bizarre shootout goal from Jan. 16. Rob Martell, the referee right on the goal-line, was overruled by Mike Leggo and Lonnie Cameron, who didn't have as good a view. The GMs wanted Colin Campbell, Mike Murphy et al to hold ultimate power. Guess were Mike the Fixer is. He's in the war room fixing up games for his favorite team.

I couldn't agree more. That is a BS call in BS league. It must be nice for the King's organization and their fair weather fans to have an ex-player and coach of the Kings in charge of the series. Talk about a conflict of interest. That Son of a ***** Murphy is cheering for the Kings in this interview. http://kings.nhl.com...s.htm?id=501547 LAKings.com: Describe your time on the Kings in one sentence? Murphy: Unbelievable learning experience mixed with unbelievable fun. LAKings.com: You were with the Kings from early on in the team's existence – how have you seen the team change in the time since then? Murphy: Well I have seen some obvious changes with the colors of the uniforms and the logo and the different arena where they play. What has not changed is the great group of solid hockey fans in Southern California that support and love the Kings, even with the changes. I think it would be so neat to see the Kings succeed and win a Stanley Cup because it would do just a tremendous amount for the Southern California market and the Kings franchise. They have been hard working and very close in a number of years, so that would be nice to see. F'kin Buttman.
