Makes sense 🙂 Nothing wrong with that!

First time I've ever played in a tournament. Won the first game Friday night 2-1. On Saturday we lost the first game by a score of 3-1 with an empty net (I'll get to that in a moment). Saturday night we beat the eventual champion 4-3 in a shootout (I'll be getting to that one as well). The team that won the tournament actually had two games they won with a score of 10-2. We ended up not making it to the championship. We were tied with another team for points, and goal differential, and ended up breaking the tie with a head-to-head (the team we lost to so they owned that tie breaker). Now for those notes... if we had won the third game in regulation rather than the shootout, we would have had the second most points and played in the championship. Beyond that, if we had NOT pulled the goalie in our 3-1 loss, we would have also owned the goal differential tiebreaker from a 2-1 loss and still made the championship. Oh, hindsight on the decision to pull the goalie... I never in a million years would have thought an empty net goal in the second game would have ended our run... All in all I'm pretty damn proud of our team. Being eliminated on the THIRD tie-breaker shows we played well enough to win. Knowing we also beat the eventual champions meant we very well could have taken the whole damn thing. That said, it was kind of nice to get to go home Saturday and not play on Sunday (at least, until my usual league game!) What a crazy week. Hockey Wednesday night, Softball Thursday night, hockey Friday night, hockey twice Saturday, and hockey Sunday night. I'm pretty sore.

The ref in hockey pants/socks is a bit odd...

First time ever playing in a tournament, playing for my former rookie league team. First game of the weekend was 4-2. Not many shots against so the video is pretty short.

What was the embroidery upgrade?

No idea how many. They don't make it anymore anyway so it doesn't matter. I was usually doing whatever the maximum was on the machine, which I think is 8?

I didn't notice any difference in that regard 🙂

Sure it is.

And now the Sharks are whining that the NHL should apologize for an icing that was waved off. It's a bit silly. There is a massive difference between calling a 5 min major on a play that barely deserved a minor, and a linesman making a judgement call on an icing play that happens hundreds of times a season.

God, I wish this thread would just die out.

A weird two day break in the schedule. Carolina has taken a strangle-hold on this series winning two on the road. Hopefully they can finish it off at home this week! 🙂 I have a feeling the Islanders are going to seriously regret not playing the second round in their old building.

NHL officials are human and miss quite a few calls. I'm not sure the NHL typically apologizes for most of them.

yup.

No question its tough, but they need to be accountable for their mistakes like anyone else. I'm just happy to see they actually are.

Well, both.

The following referees have moved on to the second round: Pochmara/McCauley O'Rourke/Peel Dwyer/Charron Pollock/St. Laurent The NHL is doing the right thing and cutting the following pairings: O'Halloran/Furlatt (officials from Vegas/San Jose game 7) Meier/Hanson (officials from Toronto/Boston game 2) This is the first time in over a decade that O'Halloran has not been at least to the conference finals, and he is the current leader among active referees with 212 playoff games.

I hate to say it but I think the Islanders are going to win this one. I'd definitely prefer it was Carolina though.
