Re: The 2009-10 NHL regular season thread: Slightly less meaningless hockey
Ugh.
Ugh.
Brendan Shanahan has officially retired from the NHL.
Holy cow that official in Detroit sucks. Toronto even called down and all he apparently said was "I couldn't see it and meant to blow the whistle, even though it was in the net for 5 seconds already."
F-cking miserable.
Incompetence abounds all over tonight. Wild-Coyotes game saw Nolan get called for slashing when Lepisto's stick broke on its own making a pass and now this.
Unfathomable idiocy everywhere.
Yet still better than the NBA, and reasonably close to the crap we see from the NFL and post season MLB... sigh.
.Havlat still sucks.
What the hell is FIFA?FIFA and NHL are neck-and-neck for complete trash today.
What the hell is FIFA?

yikes
What confuses me most is why he doesn't ever actually look at the video. Even if he claims he intended to blow the whistle, why doesn't Toronto make him take a quick look? It would have taken 30 seconds and it would have prevented him from botching the call.Unbelieveable.

That's what I thought at first too, since the puck is near the net before going out to May for the shot, but that puts the whistle 5-10 seconds after the intent rather than the 3 or so if he intended to blow it on the save. So either his reflexes suck balls or he intended to blow it dead on the non-existent save.The only thing that makes sense is he intended to blow the whistle before the shot? But, why did he intend to blow it then? And if he didn't intend to blow it until the non existent save was made, well, that's a goal.
