Brind'Amour's job interview*
Shanahan: "So what makes you think you're a strong candidate?"
Brind'Amour: "... I beat your team when my goalie was your zamboni driver"
Shanahan: "...Okay. You're hired"

It's the inconsistency of it all. This is "technically" charging but probably doesn't get called almost all of the time. It's like the refs bounce back and forth between calling the penalties exactly by the book and then in the very next sequence, on the EXACT SAME TYPE OF PENALTY OR PLAY, using "discretion" haha.

Exactly what glovemalfunction said. He was a youth official for 15 years. He said its a rule book call because he left his feet, but they inconsistently call it and it is just like interference which gets called at inconsistent times. We've pledged not to go to games in person until the officiating is fixed.

I was reading an article about NFL officiating awhile back and the author more, or less said that while the games may not be 'fixed' they can certainly be influenced by officiating. And he used the example of the holding call - if you watch a replay of any play, in any game, any team, there is holding on every single one of them, so why does it get called sometimes and not others? Given that the NFL is one of biggest, if not the biggest, sport when it comes to betting, it does make one wonder a bit. He basically said that it's a built in 'fix' if they want to use it. Honestly, you could extend this theory to pass interference as well. For me personally, it's this kind of inconsistency that has turned me off from watching football almost altogether. Now, obviously, the NHL isn't on the same level when it comes to sports betting, but it is an interestingly thing to think about given the shit show we've been witnessing in recent years with the refs.

Ayup, certainly should have been. Everyone knows that pro sports is a business and making money is paramount.

Might get barred for this lol..I think Pastrnak is a player on an excellent contract especially compared to other players, tor hmmm. SO, if Bruins were to trade him, should bring back one helluva package especially if Ullmark is also involved..
Lets say its a one for one swat, Pastrnak for ---------??
OR a package for Pastrnak?? What you want in return??

Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.
He has been placed on blood thinning medication and is not expected to be available to play again this season.
Brutal break for #Canucks ' leading goal scorer.
