[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

So the Caps are going to be the losing team in the Finals this year.

Can't wait to hear the complaints from Crosby and Pens fans.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Whoa. Rolie's been traded to Tampa Bay.

holy moley, Rollie? Well, he will like working for Stevie. Rollie's a good guy.

3-1 Caps... I'm so happy! Crosby with 4 shots and 4 misses, and a -1.

'98 rematch!

[Jedi 1,865]

lol...like that really makes a difference. It should be played as any NHL game. Shouldn't matter if it's outside...deal with the elements don't make exceptions.

They did it in '09 with the Wings/Hawks game too. It's not like it's unprecedented.

It's supposed to make it more fair. Whether it does or not is debatable.

I thought they didn't have to switch because of how good the weather was?

No, if I remember right they did switch during a period because of the wind.

<sigh> That's why I've been rooting for the Sidguins. I'd hate for the Caps to get that close and lose. This year looks good for the Wings, so I really would rather break Sid's heart than Ovi's in the finals.

I think it was last year with the Flyers/Bruins that they didn't need to switch. I'm positive that they did switch in '09.

The switch only applies for the third so it would have occurred then.

[sixer 37]

Fleury interfered with Ovechkin! What a joke, he isn't even in the crease!!!

BS CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[55fan 5,133]

I think that it was during the Det/Hawks game that we did switch, but last year they decided not to since both teams chose not to.

I could be wrong, but that's what I am remembering.

Oh, poor Ovi. No goal.

[Guest Stolberg]

what me, cheat?

[Jedi 1,865]

Right. First whistle after the 10 minute mark of the third is when they switched.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Just eliminate incidental contact and make it goaltender interference.

[SiLkK19 67]

WTF if flower girl didn't want contact then stay in your damn crease! Caps got cheated.

Ovie, Ovie... LOL~

No matter...it's still changing the game which I don't agree with.

Pretty sure that was the Pens/Sabres game.

[I Red Wings I 40]

Wait, he was behind the net. I don't see why that was waived off, he bumped into him

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

That goal should have counted.

[kook_10 1,705]

That must be the most pathetic sounding organ ever.

It's not needed with indoor games. It's not a big change.

[edicius 3,269]

Hey, don't knock the wind. It helped Dats, right?

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

2 called off goals for interference

neither with penalties

sure makes the game look good to your casual watchers

theyre like uh wtf are the rules?
