edicius 3,269 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 McStache is reffing, thankfully. Pretty well-called so far. Wings started out horrendously, but the momentum's all theirs now. Ah, I can't complain as much then. Seems like tripping's being let go a lot, tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings3:16 322 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Jeeeeeeeezuz, anyone getting these long breaking news on Ted Kennedy? They show John Kerry highlighted on the screen, walking into the hospital, then show the same clip again (really, who gives a crap that he's visiting, let alone showing it twice), and then showed him leaving in his mini-van, TWICE. It's been on for about 15 minutes now Screw NBC, GO CBC! Edited May 17, 2008 by Wings3:16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasper84 333 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Seriously did McGuire get fired, or is he in mourning since anaheim, san jose, and colorado all got knocked out. McGuire was announcing the Russia/Finland and Canada/Sweden games yesterday, so maybe they have him doing that instead of the playoffs for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Seriously did McGuire get fired, or is he in mourning since anaheim, san jose, and colorado all got knocked out. I'm sure the lack of Canadian representation also has something to do with it. Fine by me. Milbury's great in this role. Less Pierre = More Mike = More goodness.

WingNut 25 5 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 We gotta step it up in the 2nd. That goal was huge in shooting life into our boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 He hit skate right before puck, it was a good call. If, in the opinion of the Referee, a player is unquestionably hook-checking the puck and obtains possession of it, thereby tripping the puck carrier, no penalty shall be imposed.Stuart obtained possession of the puck. That is (or at least, should be) what matters. He was going for the puck, he got the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
