Don’t get me wrong as I wouldn’t trade a sweep against one of the best regular season teams in NHL history, but this San Jose-Vegas series has been WILD. It’s a shame it has to end tonight. I wish these two teams would play a best of 100.

San Jose, down 3 goals to nothing, draws a 5 minute power play. Couture scores twice on the same power play (separate shift). San Jose nets 4 goals in the span of 4:45 game time.

Bizarre game.

Eakin's goal should not have counted, it seemed like a clear high stick

Eakin's penalty probably should have been 2 minutes and it ended up costing them 4 goals.

Pavelski got cross checked twice by two separate VGK players. At best, that was a double minor. Can’t really say I blame the refs for making that call. You don’t commit dumb shit like that up 3-0 with 10 minutes left in Game 7.

Seemed like the second guy just incidentally hit him

Tied now. Crazy

 

[OhioState001]

Here's the clear high stick

Accidental or not, that’s an easy call for the refs to make. If they were to revisit that call, maybe a double minor. But the majority of the damage had already been done in those 4 minutes.

 

[TooTall]

Here's the clear high stick

Hard telling from that angle. It’s a lot closer than calling it clear. Using several reference points (again, not a great angle), it looks like the puck is damn near level with Jones’ helmet. If I’m a ref, I stick with whatever the call on the ice was.

So much for going to bed. What a crazy ass 3rd period

 

[TooTall]

What a comeback!
What a series!

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Oh, hell. What a chokejob by Vegas.

 

[TooTall]

Oh, hell. What a chokejob by Vegas.

They went Toronto this year. Loaded up on forwards, and didn’t do shit to improve the defense. Guess they couldn’t kick the tires on Ron Hainsey since Toronto has him locked up.

Oh, hell. What a chokejob by Vegas.

I went to bed when they were helping Pavelski off the ice. Unbelievable.

Wow, I've seen worse hits get 2 minutes.

Accidental or not, that’s an easy call for the refs to make. If they were to revisit that call, maybe a double minor. But the majority of the damage had already been done in those 4 minutes.

Even if they go double minor, after 1 goal they're down to 2 minutes of remaining PP time. The second goal means the end of the PP.

Calling it a major was a huge difference. Rare to see that sort of call in the 3rd period of game seven.
