Been saying this every summer, but it is more important than ever for the Seattle Kraken
It is imperative that management does something HUGE to excite the fanbase
SO WHAT WOULD GET YOU PUMPED?
Torts, correctly, goes to the super early goalie pull, and just liked VGK have done all game long, they fail to execute. ANA always has players moving, creating traffic, and turnovers, and they did it once again to bang home the empty netter.
3-0 ANA, series tied in 3 minutes.
The high sticking penalties on @GoldenKnights are valid obviously but that delay of game is unfortunate. It’s the rules but there should be more intent to delay of game.
Literally such a stupid system. Teams like Calgary Vancouver Chicago Seattle all suck asshole for years and the Leafs are bad for 1 year and get McKenna. Vancouver finished like 20 points away from 31st too
@VGK_Watch This does not take away from Vegas winning. They took advantage of the bad call. But how can you watch this and argue that this is not icing? x.com/jessegranger_/…
@VGK_Watch Nice screenshot of the only moment where it looked like Eichel might have a step. And it’s called the other way virtually every time. You’re right that the Ducks screwed up after this, but it was still never icing. That’s not shade to Vegas.
@VGK_Watch Also…that’s beside the point. Even at that moment it’s a virtual tie. It’s disingenuous for you to argue that that’s not nearly always called an icing in today’s rules.
@Vegas_Adjacent@SinBinVegas Watched the replay. Also, have been watching hockey since before they eliminated the race to the puck rule. It’s virtually always called the other way. That doesn’t take anything away from Vegas. They took advantage of it. But it’s still a bad call.
Linesman blows an obvious icing and the Golden Knights take advantage!
Ducks bench including Coach Q are losing their mind.
Dorofeyev made a nice move to the front and Barbashev tucked it home but VGK get a massive break to go right back ahead.
2-1
@wyshynski@JeffMarek@GoldenKnights@AnaheimDucks Dave Jackson sides with the officials every single time even if they’re clearly wrong haha no idea why he’s still on there. Ties on icing calls go to the defender, Eichel was not ahead of Lacombe. Especially since the puck was on Lacombes side as well not going towards Eichel
@JLazzy23 The explanation kinda helped though, where the linesman is positioned, it definitely does look like Eichel may have that step by the time they’re at the dots
The Ducks have every right to be pissed.
Barbashev is clearly short of the red line and LaCombe looks to be in a favorable position of Eichel.
Certainly a controversial call
