Complaining constantly like this when your team has been up the entire season is so f***ing embarrassing.

I think he’s making good points.

 

[TangoMcBride]

I was wondering the same thing. I have no skin in this game. I could care a less who wins. But. The guy intentionally high sticks him and bloodies his nose. Under what scenario is that not at least four minute penalty? Man the officiating this year has been atrocious.

Are you just ignoring the fact that Rantanen was the first one to throw a crosscheck well after the whistle?

 

[BelovedIsles]

That must be fun to moderate a playoff game under the influence.

 

[Ambisextrous]

Well its been a good game despite this crap thread

 

[Dynamite Time]

What a playoff game, gonna be a hell of a 3rd if not more.

LOVE IT!!!

 

[Tralfamadore]

I think he’s making good points.

I'm shocked you think that.

 

[McFlyingV]

Colorado has been doing it for years. The 1st one I could buy but the second one was blatant as hell and an obvious interference penalty.

Problem is he's not really moving into the guy he's just standing on ice that he already occupied when he had the puck and dropped it off. A guy doesn't have to move out of another guy's way the defending player has to go around him. What's far worse interference that often goes uncalled is when a team's attacking off the rush and one player drop passes and then drives the net pushing the D man back so he can't step up on the guy receiving the pass.

Whole Rantanen mess could've been avoided if the refs called MacKinnon for interference on one of those Avalanche Classic pick plays

Thank you for your glorious contribution.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Refalancheeeeeee

lol What does that possibly have to do with deciding?Whether a high stick that draws blood is four minutes or not?

 

[TheNumber4]

Rantanen is a diving bitch and has been for years. Cracks me up how Colorado fans call him Moose when he's one of the softest players in the league.

True. But can’t expect Avs fans to see it with homer goggles on. They think they “earn” all their penalties when their team dives constantly.

Franchise learned it from Detroit in the Datsyuk years I think. Used to drive me crazy how good the Wings were at it.

Could've called Rantanen for starting the whole scrum with a random cross check too.

Avs fans need to open their eyes.

 

[landstuhltaylor]

I would credit Rantanen for that 10/10 dive against Parise but I'm afraid somebody is going to cry about how the Stars are better at that too.

 

[TheNumber4]

I'm shocked you think that.

Why? Who doesn’t enjoy accurate hockey takes.

 

[robertocarlos]

Well its been a good game despite this crap thread

This thread really adds something to the game. It's like we're all at the bar.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Rantanen thought it was a Stars player so he dove, too bad it was Parise or else the refs would've called it.

 

[TangoMcBride]

lol What does that possibly have to do with deciding?Whether a high stick that draws blood is four minutes or not?

I think it's pretty obvious. You pick and choose what's worthy of criticism.

 

[Avsfan1921]

Tonight I am a neutral fan. Just calling it like i see it.

No oil fan is neutral when it comes to Avs games lol.

 

[JeffP]

i mean, we each have our embellishers, ours is marchment
avs have rantanen, vgk marchessault, etc etc etc

drawing calls has become part of the game and mediocre reffing too

lets just be thankful for no eddie olczyk tonight

 

[TheNumber4]

Benn is really imposing his physical will on the Avs. Don’t know if there’s a player on the Avs that can step up and stop him.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Complaining constantly like this when your team has been up the entire series is so f***ing embarrassing.

Any hockey fan has every right to call out flopping like that in any game. Whenever they want.

Especially when one team does it far more often than the others.

 

[fahad203]

Heiskanen is beasting this game
CBC is all over Cale Makar again

 

[The Tourist]

Dallas is only allowed to get penalties like delay of game and bench minors for too many men on the ice. If you take those away then Dallas would struggle to ever get a PP.
