The Habs are in trouble.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 19, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) All three of those teams have won more games than the Bulls over the past 3 seasons, so apparently they do feel it is important to win games in season as well as in the post seasons Edit: the Mavs haven't, but they are right there Yuup, the reason the Bulls havent won a title is because all of those teams have better talent.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 19, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 17m Hearing that, if the Grizz totally clean house, the Memphis owner will look to trade for Tom Thibodeau + give him an SVG/Pistons-type deal. Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 13m PS: Bulls need assets for a run at Kevin Love, an extra 1st round pick would help. They'd hire Fred Hoiberg if Thibs got traded. Stay tuned. Can we just trade Thibs to Minny for Love?

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 19, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) Did he have a problem prior to spring training? If so, then this problems moves into the chronic category and it will be a problem that he needs to manage a little differently. It's one that will never totally go away. The practice of orthotics and activity modification will be a constant throughout his career. Yes. He had ankle pain prior to signing with the Sox. It appears to be chronic.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 19, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) I am in "most recent" 100% of the time. I dont want Facebook to tell me what is important to me. FB is going to start pushing ads and linked pages higher and higher in your feed. Its bulls***.

The new FB app sucks as the most recent feed is hidden. "oh switch to paper" yeah that doesnt do most recent either.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) He acts like that's something new. Yeah, they are going to keep taking a look at it to make sure it's okay. Yeah, when he arrives in Chicago he's going to see the doctors again. Yeah, when the only way to heal the injury is to keep you off your foot, he's going to wear a walking boot. That same information was out 2 days ago.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) With team or just skating on own post-practice? With the team apparently, outside chance for game 2.

Shaw is practicing.

And even looking at that with my "Hawks glasses" off. He moves Quick for sure, but to me the puck was in the net and the initial contact was made with the stick hand outside of the crease prior to him being moved. At real time it appears Toews is pushed towards Quick and he makes a reasonable effort to avoid contact. At game speed without replay it could easily be seen as incidental and the goal allowed, by rule. The better replay is from red line robo cam. Go to 1:04. Quick's pad is there, actually on and in front of the post. Contact is made (Toews isn't pushed), moving Quick's pad off the post, and the puck slides in right where his pad was. The puck simply isn't in before contact, and doesn't go in without contact. By rule, incidental contact disallows that goal. Granted we have the benefit of replay to now see the correct call was made. But even live speed I said s***, I think this one's going to come back. At real time it looked like Toews stopped short of the crease, he was then pushed into the goalie by Voynov and while he tried to leap over Quick, he made contact and the puck slipped in before he landed. Its not like its that outlandish of an interpretation or "homerish" since at least one ref agreed that it was a good goal.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) LOL. Now we're just going to look on the chart for random places where it says "goal is allowed" and try to argue that? You conveniently failed to mention what part of the table that was under: 3. A PLAYER PUSHES, SHOVES, OR FOULS ANOTHER PLAYER INTO THE GOALKEEPER, WHO IS IN OR OUT OF THE CREASE. Which is not what happened. Nope, look above at my post. It appeared Toews was shoved after his stop by the extended hand on his ass. Once again this has to be made at game speed with no review or DVR.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) You made the replay part at the end of the rule all caps... Wait, you don't think he moved Quick? Come on already, take off the Hawks glasses. The contact clearly moves him off the post towards the other side of the net, and the puck goes in right where his pad was. Can't argue that whatsoever. Nope, he didn't move Quick. And again, intentionally or not, it doesn't really matter. The onus is 100% on Toews not to make contact there. Rule says it's no goal, right call was made. Copy/paste, it mustve been in all caps. And even looking at that with my "Hawks glasses" off. He moves Quick for sure, but to me the puck was in the net and the initial contact was made with the stick hand outside of the crease prior to him being moved. At real time it appears Toews is pushed towards Quick and he makes a reasonable effort to avoid contact. At game speed without replay it could easily be seen as incidental and the goal allowed, by rule.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) 69.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper - This rule is based on the premise that an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances be allowed. Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact. The rule will be enforced exclusively in accordance with the on-ice judgment of the Referee(s), AND NOT BY MEANS OF VIDEO REPAY OR REVIEW. First bolded = why it was disallowed. Red = contact wasn't initiated outside of goal crease. Effort is irrelevant. Second bolded = replay review had zero to do with incidental contact decision, as has been covered multiple times. A better breakdown of situations: http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26557 I never mentioned replay. I also didnt think he moved Quick or hit him intentionally. I also thought he didnt land in the crease until the puck crossed the goal line. In the end it didnt matter.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) Effort/intent is actually irrelevant here. The fact is that Toews ran into him, moved him and the puck went by him, and wouldn't have gone by him without the contact. Correct call. Incidental contact can wave off a goal. What I am referring to when I talk about effort to avoid the contact.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:42 AM) In this case it wasn't some random, arbitrary "make-up" call later on like in the example above but getting together right away and making the correct call right after the play. I don't know the rules well enough to know if they were or weren't technically allowed to conference the way they did, but in the end the correct call got made. It's really hard to see that as a bad thing. They are allowed to conference, however I still think it was incidental contact and Toews made the right amount of effort to avoid contact. In the end it didnt matter.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) Wow, Carey Price is out for the entire ECF. Chris Kreider better skate with his head up tonight. And it's not the first time he's done that to a goalie.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 19, 2014 -> 09:18 AM) But that clear from the crease was pretty pretty. I understand why they played him vs the Kings.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 18, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) Words cannot express how disappointing this is to me http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/18/news/compa...ectv/index.html remember when they broke up ATT because it was too powerful?

The missed calls are out of control.
