9/26 SCF Game 5 "@" Tampa @ Edmonton (7PM CT)

[Troy McClure]

Getting a lot of the straight legged one handed reach you see from tired players

[Knives Out]

Holy *poo poo* I said it before but imagine being a Lightning fan right now LOL.

[5minmajor]

final seconds are scary every period

[dyhp]

I want Dallas to win but also do I really want to watch this *poo poo* on Monday? This is embarrassing.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Ugh.

1 shot.

[dyhp]

That was like watching a 20 minute penalty kill.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I predict Sykora passes out of the corner to Arnott for the game winner.

[Knives Out]

I for one am thankful to be a part of Tampa Bay’s historic overtime TOI record these playoffs.

Time to protect the tie! Again! Again!

[Math]

We can all agree that overall officiating in this SCF in one of the worst in the last 50 years.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I really am still perplexed that Jamie Benn is wide open cruising in through the slot and elects a low probability pass.

Oh for the Jamie of yore.

[slaps]

Tampa looks slightly better than the Stars do.

I really am still perplexed that Jamie Benn is wide open cruising in through the slot and elects a low probability pass.

A professional error.

I still can't believe such a brain cramp.

I don’t want to hear those fuckers say they were a super dominant cup winner. Their win-loss total will hide the nearly four extra games of OT they’ve played.

[Knives Out]

So ... should we start Oettinger for the 5th? LOL

[The Frugal Gourmet]

They seem to believe Vas is way better than he is. I mean he may be in the zone or something. We should try shooting on him and see.

[dyhp]

I predict Sykora passes out of the corner to Arnott for the game winner.

Was just thinking about that

Me too. Because this has that feeling.

[slaps]

I think the “Paul Miss-The-Net” thing must have been improvised because Bissonnette looks PISSED.

[Knives Out]

Jokes aside, considering what happened in last night’s OT, the botched icing and two blatant non-calls are preeeeetty frustrating.

[Knives Out]

But not as frustrating as Benn’s brainfart LOL.

I like how they can use as many takes as they want, and Whitney doesn’t even go top corner.

[slaps]

I feel like officiating is bad every year, because they don’t want to “affect the game” by, I don’t know, calling the rule book? But this year seemed especially egregiously bad.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

But not as frustrating as Benn’s brainfart LOL.

I swear Benn’s wrister still comes off his stick like a rocket. He just has no confidence in it anymore.

[Troy McClure]

And nothing drags these OT games out more than refs letting everything go.

[Shabazz Jenkins]

After a hard workout on the ice, there’s nothing as refreshing as some straight vodka or gin or whatever the hell that stuff is, as well.

[ToddM]

Maybe it's because I've been binge-reading Into Thin Air, but watching that OT period all I could think of is how all the players look like they have serious altitude sickness and should immeditaely be evacuated 2,000 feet down the mountain.

[5minmajor]

They gave the Stars a pity shot

[BigAl]

I just don’t want TB to win this on home ice.

[Troy McClure]

Did Doc just try to say it is second down?

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Man. Nothing is getting called. This is kind of horse *poo poo*.
