Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Fucked eight times...with no kissing before!


1. @ Colorado:  First, the interference call on Oshie as two guys are just falling over each other to get the puck which gives the Avs the 3-2 lead on Yip's PP goal. Then, the Worst:  Oshie's goal is not only disallowed, he's given a penalty... even though he never touched the puck, or even hooked the Avs player.  The Avs defenseman swiped the puck into the net BEFORE any Blue touched the puck, signalling the dumbass ref ( Dennis LaRue) to stop play.   So, even if there WAS a legit penalty, the goal should have counted.  How pathetic that LaRue doesn't know the rules and Dean Morton didn't bother to correct him.  For all practical purposes, the game ended right there.

2. Chicago:  Disallowed goal on a "lost sight of puck" call, that ONLY the refs lost sight of.  Everybody in the building (including tv replays) saw that the puck was NEVER covered up and Boyes had every right to stuff it in.  That would have cut the 'hawks lead in half and given the Blues some much needed momentum.   Steen's late goal would've gotten the Blues to OT.  But, noooooooooo...instead, Blues fans were forced to endure the taunts and heckling by the visiting red-clad assholes from Chicago, especially the dolts in sec. 105 who tried to drunkenly do the power play dance.

3. San Jose:  Blues down 2-1 midway through the second period. Phantom slash call on Boyes gives the Sharks a PP goal and the Blues could not recover, despite playing a great game, getting 37 shots on goal. 

4. @ Chicago: Blues win a close one, but the called high-stick that was suddenly disallowed deprived them of a much needed PP.   The boys managed to win despite the lop-sided officiating.

5. Columbus: Roman Polak's shamefully weak "roughing" call while killing a penalty puts the Jackets up 2-1. The Blues were able to come back and tie the game, but lost in ot. 

6. @ Vancouver: The Second Worst: Henrik Sedin gets his RIGHT hand tapped by Paulie Kariya near the end of the game. Sedin skates away from the puck and starts shaking his LEFT hand in great pain.  Kariya gets a slashing penalty, not called by the ref right there in the defensive zone, but  called by the ref out at center ice, and the Canuckleheads score on the  ensuing PP, winning a squeaker, 2-3.   

7. @ Ottawa: One of the Senators forwards steps on Oshie's stick midway through the third period and falls. Oshie is called for a tripping, Ottawa  scores on the  PP and wins another 2-3 squeaker.  

8. Anaheim:  With the score tied 2-2 late in the third period, Ryan Getzlaf deliberately goes knee-to-knee with Jackman, tripping him AND interfering with him in front of our own net,  right in front of the ref.  Of course, there is no call and the Ducks score the go-ahead goal while Barret was left sprawled out on the ice.  They came back, but lost in a shootout.

No surprise the boys go 1-5-2 during these eight games.

(Thanks to D.J. Axeom for the inspiration for all this bitchin' and getting if off my chest.)

Hoping someone will mention some stuff I probably forgot about, I am:

PISSED OFF AND MAD AS HELL!!!

I agree they were terrible calls but

good teams play through those calls and find a way to win despite the officiating. Also, we don’t want SLGT to start to sound like a bunch of Wings Penguins Capitals fans forever whining about how the refs hate them.

Even if they do.

Which they clearly do. Wahhhh!!!!

baroose, I completely agree that good teams play through these calls and find a way to win. And I surely don’t want to sound like I am blaming losses on the officiating, whining like a little bitch.
Obviously, this is NOT a good team as SOMETHING always seems to break down, be it the goaltending, the defense missing assignments, or the forwards failing to backcheck or find the net with shots. Yea, the 2009-10 Blues are finding ways to lose on their own.
It’s just that the officiating doesn’t help…and there has been no apparent “even-ing out” of calls.
And it isn’t just the Blues. I was upset by a game last week when the refs handed a game to Detroit @ San Jose, and there have been scores of officiating gaffes that determined the outcome of NHL games this season.
All in all, it doesn’t matter though: the season appears to be lost anyway…

So it goes…

I was at the Colorado game last night.

I was incredulous when that call was made. Oh, have I mentioned I hate Avs fans……

ugh

I hate avs fans too

Terrible atmosphere and my buddy always tries to argue with me about this about how great the fanbase is…not true.

You going to the game in March? We’ll probably be sitting up high cause we’re all poor college students.

I was at the Ducks game...

right across from the knee on knee. I leapt up…and my shouts of “cheating b*****d” were drowned out as the Ducks scored.

Hell, even some Ducks fans were dumbfounded that it wasn’t called.

Y'know, I had a feeling before this season started that NHL officiating was utterly incompetent.

This season has not only proven what I had already felt, but it’s actually – SOMEHOW – gotten worse.

The linesmen seem to do a good job, but NHL referees are incredulously awful.

The NHLOA ought to fire the whole fucking lot of these dumbfuck referees and replace them with monkeys on skates. Not only would there be improvement in game flow with correct calls being made, but no one would have the heart to argue with a monkey on skates. It’s a win-win situation.

I don’t know about the linesmen, DK…
I’ve been watching hockey for longer than some people here have been alive and I honestly cannot tell what icing means anymore. It’s waved off for reasons I no longer understand; and sometimes it’s called when a dman (usually an opponent of da Blues) easily could have played it.
And I see a LOT of offsides called muffed, both ways.
Of course, I am old and my eyes aren’t what they used to be…(lol)

Lovin’ the monkey on skates idea, I am:
STILL pissed off and mad as hell!

Good call, Billy

I’ve been noticing it too, for a while. It’s just not as obvious as the Orange-Sleeves. Wasn’t that Boyes reversed highsticking call partly on a linesman? Who the hell can even keep track anymore, I guess. I can remember a couple times with Kariya and McD, after they had just gotten here, where they’d talk to the refs with looks of shock on their faces as calls they normally would’ve gotten wouldn’t be going their way anymore with this sweater on. I think your namesake could some it up best though,
