Official 2011-2012 NHL Lockout Thread

Iffy game. Officiating really killed the game, especially that bogus penalty shot and two of then weakest goalie interference calls Ive ever seen. Though even if those werent called it wouldnt have helped Detroit anyway, we didnt look out good out there and Chicago (penalties aside) wouldve won anyway and they deserved it. See you guys in a few weeks!

Hopefully we play better against St. Louis.

Well can you blame him?

Winter Classic has been moved to 3 PM.

I heard Laviolette was infuriated that he talked about who was starting to the media.

Want to say congrats to Sergei Kositsyn for his first career hat trick last night. It was also the first time I have seen a hat trick in person, so it turned out to be a very memorable New Years for me. I dont think there are any other Predator fans on here, but just wanted to share.

Amen to that.
Art Ross trophy winners, Hart winner, Ted Lindsay award, Gold Medalists, humble, donated 1.5 Million to a hospital, Stanley Cup finalists.
The list goes on.

How do the Sedin's get no respect? Seriously? Somehow during every NHL game not consisting of Vancouver, their names still come up either by the commentators or the intermission report guys. Seriously.

I think he means the players. Thornton being a jackass and trying to shut Henrik up while both of them were talking to the referee and Marchand using Daniel as a punching bag is what I believe he means.

Why the hell is Torts getting fined? Hes absolutely correct, the officials obviously were leaning towards Philthy's side. Giving Callahan an embellishment penalty (Where else was Cally going to go? Hes being hooked and being twisted, he can't control the other player's stick and where its going to hit him!) and give Briere a penalty shot for no reason (Obviously McDonagh froze the puck to save it from going in the net and you can see the puck away from the red line after he swept it away)?Yeah NHL lets fine Torts for speaking the truth about how shitty your officials truly are. I say with all the player suspensions, I think any player/coach/GM believes an official is being biased they can take up a case with the League and have them investigate, because lately the officials have been pissing me and alot of people I know off (Not just Rangers fans, I'm talking Bruins, Devils, Islanders, Wild, and a Flyers fan)
