2016 3WW Stanley Cup Challenge – All are welcome

Mmmmmm, hockey juices. I can relate being from buffalo, except buffalo is firmly implanted in the shittiest state in the union. And our sports disasters are usually on a much larger stage. Ugh

How about that 1st Stars goal? How can they call that a goal? Roussel clearly put his foot out to stop the puck, he is just so uncoordinated that he shot the thing up in the air and into the goal. So he kicked his foot out, hit the puck and it went in. Ridiculous. Officiating is why I cut way back on the NFL, hope I don't have to do the same with hockey.

I know they are both Winny boys, but beyond that, not much. Steen is the most underrated player in the league IMO, and Reever might be top 2 or 3 in the heavy weight division.

Both their dad's were sports stars in WPG in the same era. Reaves younger brother plays pro football as well. We'll be happy take them back anytime you get tired of watching them play.

I'd call that a good goal all day long. There was no intent to kick it into the net and Dubnyk is the one that put it over the line and moved the net. Easy call. Had he done that from in front of the net I could see a dispute, but as my referee mentor always preached "intent is everything". If Roussel planned that play he's way underpaid.

Maybe Blunden should ease up on the blood thinners.

You got his name wrong its "Bludgeon"

With any luck Tampa will get up a few goals and he'll be able to have another dance with Abdelkader. Maybe this time he can lead

Years past the Blues would have folded up like a cheap tent, but this team showed great resolve winning game 3 in an almost impossible place to win. Good job boyz!

Great game! Your boys played their guts out and Elliott was a cat in the crease once again. Crawford almost assisted on a Blue's goal for the second time this series. Some goalies shouldn't play the puck, he's one of them, Hutchinson is another. I cringe every time those guys go behind the net.

I'm guessing Kane was quiet in the dressing room.

Elliott gives me the same pucker factor when he plays the puck.

It's official, Andrew Shaw has the most punchable face in the entire league. But thanks for that interference call with 2 min left and the ice totally tilted your direction.

I caught the last 2 periods of the blues game on my drive home. For some reason xm had the blues call, your announcer is excellent. He reminds me of Bob Uecker in Major League with his mannerisms and sarcasm. He sounded like a terrible Homer so I didn't necessarily trust his call of the Crawford debacle. As soon as I got home I youtubed it. Holy crap, the refs should be fired. Maybe shot. How the blues are up 3-1, idk, but maybe this is their year.

My homerism will show through, but if it was Chris Kerber and Kelly Chase, I love listening to those two call a game. I don't know how they got that power play at the end of the game? The officials have been absolutely atrocious and that is putting it lightly. Kerber and Chase the officials almost every game.

That was a great game! You may recall last year the Jets gave Chicago fits by ing on them, well I see your guys playing the same "body first, puck later" game and its working! Any time I could get a goalie to take a swing at me I knew I was doing something right Crawford, Shaw and Kane came apart last night. Bad night, or the end of an Empire? Stay tuned to find out!

Cross your fingers, if your boys get through series I don't see why the shouldn't get to the finals if Tarasenko and Elliott stay healthy

Shaw with a one game suspension and 5k fine for calling the ref a homophobic slur. For once the vocal minority worked in my favor.

If I had even $10 bucks for every time my sexual orientation, lust for farm animals, or an incestuous relationship with my mother was insinuated while refereeing a hockey game I’d be a rich man. That said, if I had to pay $10 bucks each time I did the same as a player I’d have had to work a month to afford to play just one game.

I think my pinnacle as a washed up player was reached last year when a ref took a swing at me solely for verbal provocation and then tossed me. Thinking back I probably deserved it.
