Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted October 17, 2015 I never blamed the loss on smith... I stated how the whole team looked terrible but smith looked especially terrible like he usually does... He's scratched for a reason When ppl come to post with an agenda that doesn't reflect how the actual hockey games are played it makes this place very annoying... Just spewing the same stuff about Howard like you didn't even watch the game And I never put the loss solely on Howard. Both ways, joesuffp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Toronto is usually on pointt, but I couldn't possibly disagree with their ruling more. Unless they have some super secret angle that nobody else is privy to. According to what Kenny said, their whole ruling seemed to based off of whether or not the puck deflected off of the Habs skate initially with a kicking motion. That is irrelevant from what I witnessed. It is more whether Mrazek could have saved the puck or not if he had not had his leg and skate kicked out from under him. That (at least from what I saw in all the replays) seemed clear. From the trajectory that the puck was taking, Mrazek WOULD have stopped the puck had his leg not been kicked out from under him, preventing him from doing so. Don't really know what to say about that one. I think the Habs are getting the Lightning treatment from last year, or Penguins treatment from a few years back....ie: they are the league darlings for the year and the team picked to win it all, and thus the refs will call the games accordingly.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Goaltending not a problem in either loss. Defence and turnovers were. Don't like the lines either, Blash should mix em up. Fire Andersson into the sun, get Jurco/Ferraro back in next game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Its disgusting knowing we likely lost the game due to misinformation from the league (or conspiracy theorists would say intentional disinformation) about the Toronto reviews vs. Coaches challenges. Obviously Blashill thought that the Toronto review was looking at everything, both the possible kick in, AND the fact that Mrazek was CLEARLY interfered with. Unfortunately as we (and every other NHL fan AND team/coach/etc) now knows, Toronto is apparently ONLY looking at the kick in. To get them to even acknowledge or view the interference requires the "coaches challenge" to be called. Shady....to say the least..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 I thought the coaches challenge was used? That's what confused me. It being non reviewable made no sense Good thing we laid down and died after that tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
