[Nero 20]

Jimmy Hasek?

[cmonster 11]

it must be tough to skate with flippers and a snorkel cause these ******* be divin'

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

This is getting ridiculous.

The sharks need a new skating coach if these guys are legitimately falling over on these.

Call a damn dive already. They are folding their legs up.

McLellan is now known as Coach Bombay: "Take the fall...Act hurt.."

That would come as a suprise to me. McClellan doesn't seem like the type to pull that crap.

Post!

absolutely pathetic penalty call there. Fire that ref.

Given the number of retirements this year with NHL refs, he'll likely be promoted.

[UKWING 8]

the refs need to realize that the game is not about them; it is about the players. just let them play FFS!!

Howard!!!..snow angel..

Especially against Detroit. Nabby dives all the time, not just now.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

too bad thorton has no finishing skilz

[Jasper84 333]

Whats funny is Shark fans are bitching about the Howard flop, but they don't see Nabby's as being a dive.

Nice...

And that's one fan base that I've actually had respect for.

[russianswede919293 95]

I agree that McLellan doesn't seem the type.

Just pissed that the Sharks are diving all over the ice.

However Howie also flopped over dramatically to get the call on thornton.

The refs need to put the whistles away. Everyone is embelishing everything to get the PP.

[syntax 359]

Faceoff totals getting closer.

Being outshot badly...need some Offense please!

[swedishseven 9]

No hand pass called...

[Nero 20]

No hand pass called...

You're allowed to hand pass in your own zone...

Shots are nice, but if the Wings can score on their good chances they are in good shape. Sort of like the Canadians.

[brett 1,029]

howard gets high sticked in the face no call..nabby gets nudged out of his crease and it gets called. BE FAIR GOD DAMN

[Grim 5]

the refs are turning these playoffs into an abomination. if you get stick-slashed, you immediately must drop your stick. last year it was that stick parallel to the ice thing. these damn refs need to get the rules straight and apply them all consistently!!!

[Jibbajaba 14]

The refs need to put the whistles away. Everyone is embelishing everything to get the PP.

I agree. What the refs are doing is promoting more diving, and that means poor quality hockey. The players wouldn't keep diving if the officials wouldn't keep falling for it.

No hand pass called...

That's because he's allowed to hand pass in his defensive zone. Unless they changed this rule and I'm unaware. Or are you referring to a different hand pass?

... yep...

[Superman54 91]

Zetterberg looks to have some trouble against the Pavelski line.

[I Red Wings I 40]

That's because he's allowed to hand pass in his defensive zone. Unless they changed this rule and I'm unaware. Or are you referring to a different hand pass?

Yeah and a player can "bat" it out of the air in any zone, as long as it's not received by a teammate

[Systemfel 33]

Can Murray hit without using his arms?

[swedishseven 9]

That's because he's allowed to hand pass in his defensive zone. Unless they changed this rule and I'm unaware. Or are you referring to a different hand pass?

Right.. But i thought it gets called if it gets recieved over the blue line..
