  1. I've been wearing that girdle for a while. Pretty much the same as the old Cooper CG2, assuming the padding is a little better. Somehow I lost my shell though so I am wearing Tackla pants again, not bad but a little roomy.
  2. I thought the reffing was fine, nothing egregious either side can point to. Reffing didn't limit the Bruins chances, they had plenty. Binnington stopped them and the Blues outworked them for some goals and a ridiculous breakdown led to another.
  3. Never understood why that phrase is always seen as a positive...
  4. I agree and wouldn't put money on the Blues but honestly I have been surprised at how both teams have bounced back from losses so you never know.
  5. Until things fell apart I thought the opposite, the Blues forced a ton of turnovers in the Ozone. Rask kept that game where it was until Boston broke through. Kind of opposite of Game 5. Not sure of what happened after 3-0 so that may tell a different story, I went to bed.
  6. Hopefully this topic dies once game 6 starts, wasn’t even close to a dive.
  7. It was no dive. It's unfathomable (unless of course you watch NHL hockey...) that you can miss that call. But if you are Boston, you really stop skating because you assume there is a penalty? In pro hockey? In the SCF?!
  8. Just found it. You can set the Read St... (not sure what the full title is, it is truncated on my ipad) to “Unread item links take me to first unread post”. Then you can also dave that or any other combo of filters as a custom activity stream. You then access it through the menu but i don't know that you can link these settings with the unread posts icon, you still have to navigate the menu to get to it.
  9. Imagine, just for a second, that St. Louis’s PP wasn’t so bad as to make me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon....
  10. Glad you posted, being off today made me forget it started! Def pro-Blues. I am neutral on Boston except for Marchand so he is enough to make me root against them.
  11. I think coach's interviews at this point are commonplace, Pens do them for regular broadcasts, I would imagine others do as well, but I agree, it is probably irritating and you aren't ever going to hear anything surprising. Would be awesome to hear, "Well, some guys were flat in the first period, especially Bob, so he's glued to the bench which should help us turn things around..."
  12. I would email PSH. One, they will be able to help you with fit and two they may not be so strict about returns, never know. Hockey Monkey also has pro stock pants and allow you to return for credit.
  13. The pattern of garbage officiating has been going on so long that I am convinced that yes, it is an impossible sport to officiate, or they don't care. But that was an obvious call.
  14. Yeah, that is crazy, but at this point you just have to shrug your shoulders, they don't seem to care.
  15. Tim Conway! I just watched the dentist skit with my kids and I thought I was was going to have a heart attack I was laughing so hard. And I have seen it a million times. Great talent.
  16. Wow, I just figured out that the circle or star takes you to the first unread post! Seriously, I have been wondering why this interface didn’t have that and opening the thread at page 1 every time I wanted to see new content. First world problem solved but solve nonetheless.
  17. deleted, not sure of context of the previous post
  18. Well, it isn’t like Boston is known for its politeness...
  19. Well, intent and injury should have nothing to do with what is called, but it is still surprising that apparently there isn't a 5 in the rules for headshots so I guess the right (and only possible) call was made on the ice.
  20. I can say not predatory from the standpoint of headhunting, but like the Wilson hit on ZAR last year, Anderson was already engaged with Chara and had no way to see that hit coming. The hit was almost entirely to the head. But you are right, there is no major for a hit that they claim to want out of the game, did that change?, no provision for a misconduct, but there is a match penalty. Good job NHL.
  21. Wow, not in any way hyperbole, but the 2:00 to McAvoy for a predatory hit to the head of Anderson may be the worst call I have seen all year from a league that has by far the worst officiating of any sport. This league can’t get out of its own way.
  22. Trotz spent a lot of years not moving past the first round, so I am not ready to call him the second coming of Scotty Bowman just yet. And no, I don't think that just because you have a bunch of good players you just sit back and let them play. Maybe in the NBA or lower levels of hockey but to do what they did in the regular season takes skill. There are a lot of facets to coaching, not just Xs and Os. Carolina seems to play a steady game, something that I think bodes well for the next two rounds.
