There was a mediot article this morning in the G&M listing some possible "interesting" playoff matchups, they listed about 6 but nothing about the Habs. Guess they aren't worthy of mention...
The whole PFK fined for diving shit story is getting even fucking weirder.
I watched Farber's diving piece on the NHL Network (a toronto-based tsn re-hash network) and behold the low colon campbell and his ludicrous 'explanation'. So, pronged is the go-to hatchet man for them. They, 9 people, review every single problem play. Then they vote. It has to be a 6 out of 9 for the fine to stick and colon has the final vote/say in case of a tie.
So, 9 people, supposedly unbiased, look over 'plays', then vote.
So, 6, reviewed PFK's 'play' and determined that he took a fucking embellished dive.
ORA Fraser on with Nilan saying he saw a definite dive by Gallagher and that he had 'intent' to snow the goalie because he breaks and turns, then as he falls he arms flail, that PK does the same and they need to go to 'falling school' to learn how to fall - they flail their arms and fall 'unaturally'. Niline said I wish I could go on the ice a push a ref down and see how 'naturally' he falls when I put my glove in his face and push down to the ice and unless it happens to you - you don't know how you will react. Fuck Fraser and fuck them one and all. They will do anything possible to prevent the Habs from succeeding. I would have likee Nilan to as about Ryan's JFK head snap.
Well, 3 might have voted for him to be fined, colon might've voted to not fine him with a deciding vote or THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE FUCKING FOOTAGE!
You know - I listened to the Nilan-Fraser interview and I get that refs keep a book so they don't look stupid...that makes sense - but I don't get and I don't accept that they use the book to make calls on the ice. Calling Gallagher for embellishment was the "book" talking - not the play on the ice...that's what the mediots can't get their heads around and it really pisses me off that it will impact the Habs on their playoff run...
I tried to post on Fraser about the his take on the Jets game where he supported what happened justifying it again because of a 'reputation', if you let 3 guys fowl the same 1 player basically on the same play with the whole world watching, that to me is abuse of power and what the fuck is the contract signed by the refs and their mandate signed with the league? is it not to officiate as per the rule book set out by the league? Their bias allows for open season on a given player thus exposing that player to injury because the opponent knows they won't get called (char/PatChes for one). I can't understand why the NHLPA doesn't take issue with the league & DoP on and their officiating on some of the crap they allow.
Spent the last 4 days in the belly of the beast (Tronna). I have emerged relatively unscathed. You'll be happy to know the embarrassment level of Laff fans is off the charts. I was hanging out with a shitload of Habs fans there, who have extra smiles
Well technically I have 5 different brackets. None of them good. HOWEVER, in one of my pools I have a bracket with Wisconsin as champions. In that pool only 2 others have Wis, so I actually still have a shot there. so that's something
I don;t care about the $ b/c this tourney has been a hell of a ride so far
Just finished watching the first episode online (it aired last week). I was impressed. CHarger and his g/f are the stars of the show. Well, maybe Parros' wife is the real star (or Ryan Miller's pregnant wife, posing for Playboy)
Point is, I cannot recommend this show enough. And unlike other reality shows, it really isn't fabricated drama (that I can see). It's just a fascinating documentary (-ish)
@HF29, I'm only in one pool, I had Kentucky and Villanova in the final with the Wildcats winning it all so I might still be alive if Gonzaga can beat Duke. I think. Yeah, what the hell, it's only 10 bucks and the upsets have been insane.
Ok, what the Sens have done over the last moth or so is really, really impressive (thought they also needed the broons to completely shit the bed, which they've done). But their fans seem to acting like they clinched a playoff spot today. There's still lots of hockey to be played. If I were a betting man (which I most certainly am, but I have nowhere to place this bet) I'd put my money on Ottawa at this point. But their fans need a dose of reality. Wouldn't mind seeing the Hamburgler return to earth and for them to have to scrape into the playoffs. And then all the firings in Boston in the summer.
I thought the microphone would have been bigger...

ReplyDeleteWell it's not interesting when you know the Habs will destroy whomever it is...
DeleteThey make me sick, they only thing they will focus is 'embellishments'

Welcome home.
DeleteHow's your bracket?

I HAVE NO BRACKET

I should point out while there is no manufactured drama, there is plenty of trash. Trashy fun for the whole family!
DeleteThanks, I wanted to see it but I don't get that CHannel. I don't like Mrs. Miller.
DeleteGO SENS
ReplyDelete10 games to the playoffs and the SFU talks about reduce leaf ticket prices.
ReplyDelete29, SFU = Sick Fucks United
I was hoping FLA would get in because of Gallant. BTW I noticed last game that they also have the NO EXCUSES sign too.
