Stevie Wonder wouldn't have missed that many calls. 

Watching last night's game is precisely the reason I don't do social media. I would have spent half the night calling out the refs on the league's Twitter feed or whatever. It was bad enough during regulation, but to go through almost 2 OTs and get progressively worse?  How is that possible?

yeah feels like we are getting b*tch slapped by the NHL doesn't it?

I will say it looks pretty close to a slew foot Staal threw from one angle. 
 

He was also attempting to change directions when the guy tries to open ice check him so he basically just rag dolled the guy, I don’t think if his foot got as high it would have been anything special and I don’t think it was fine worthy to begin with. But ya probably a penalty.
 

I don’t like how they aren’t posting videos to most of these fines explaining them either now. Cause there’s really only one angle circulating but I remember watching it in real-time and replay it didn’t look nearly as bad as the one angle.

The NHL puts a fine on that play and completely ignores the interference on Staal later, which could have been a penalty shot.

The icing call when Ben Harpur was playing the puck in front of him, looked up for a second to see where he was going with the pass, the puck slides by and gets the whistle. WTF?

But ya I pretty much agree this was the league hitting back for our comments. 

Point being, the players don't care if the officiating is good, bad or whatever. They just need to know that it'll be consistent and they'll play the game accordingly.

The issue comes with them toning down their hits from 50 a game to 35 and still getting the same amount of calls. Honestly they should dial it up and go to 60+ and play their game.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
