4/15/09 GDT: Around the NHL Round 1 Game 1

[Firehawk 305]

The Blues vs. Canucks game is a good one, but all of these penalty calls are just ridiculous. I thought the Pitt vs. Philly game was well officiated and was kind of expecting the same here. Oh, that's right....O'Halloran.

SO you thought that hook on Philly early in the game was a good call? Are yous serious? I thought it was typical "let's make sure Cindy makes it through the playoffs again this year" type of referreeing. Ok enough bashing...

The canuck game is very intense. I love watching west conf hockey far more than east conference. It always seems more intense.

I was out watching the early games, but let me say this:

Oh-for-three tonight goes HoH. C'mon Blues (*gag*)!!

At least the refs have backed off in the 3rd period.

Spoke a bit too soon; 'Nucks pp coming

For the most part the penalties are legit ones, so I can't complain too much. Some of the calls are of the tic-tac variety though.

This will be an interesting finish.

Now that was a great hockey game.

canucks win 2-1 lot of important Western Conference matchups tommorow

Good old fashioned hard-hitting, low scoring playoff hockey game.

Judging by the fans reaction, you'd have thought they just won the Cup.

rags and caps might end up to be a dogfight. which id love to see.

with the game the blues made it interesting but the canucks held them off - thats what i pretty much expect to see with that series. luongo is too good to be defeated by the blues.
