Speaking of embellishment... was the call on Jake yesterday legit? I didn’t have a clear view from my seat and the replay didn’t look like much either.

Honestly, I dont really remember it. I remember thinking "whatever"

yeah, i dunno, maybe. he's definitely one guy that hates Philly and just puts in the dagger.

man, i wish we had one guy that just hated Pitt and put in the dagger.....wait, wasn't that UMBERGER!?



god dammit i (frank)ing hate the Penguins

He scores a lot of points against a lot of teams, but has another gear when playing Philly, so who knows. To his credit, he doesn't complain nearly as much as people think he does. He does get calls unlike anyone I've seen in this league since he entered in 2005, but that comes with the superstar label.

Jets and Preds is going to be a hell of a series.
- flyer_nutter

Jets in 4. I can't see a team winning with a coach that was fired and replaced with Ba-Ba-Roobey.

so are you saying he didnt jump?

Yeaa I didn't see a jump. I saw letang come in with his stick first and then whip his legs in and take coots out.

I picked Tampa Bay vs. Nashville at the beginning of the season.

i hear that movie is sick tho

you do know the series is over and Weise dressed for two games, right?

so you are also saying he did not jump
- wcorvette

you know if you play, when Coots turned his skates at the last second, then the position of his feet and the way Letang swept his feet, the result is what you see...


No dive at all.

- YuenglingJagr

Look I love couturier too, but a one handed slash does not lift a guys legs a foot and a half into the air. I thought he was trying to protect his knee. Doesn’t really matter either way. Games over.

a lot to do with the position of Coots skates, he just turned and they were close together, the angle Letang took out his skates left Coots airborne

I also see a clear trip there. Whether you think it's an embellishment or not, you can't take a players legs out from underneath him to break up a play. Yea it wasn't his stick, it was his right leg, which makes it even more egregious.

Almost like a slewfoot

if you watch a closer angle it was the stick, Letangs skate took out Coots feet

Oh, it definitely was a trip or slash.

- FloHaake

even if he did try to jump over his stick/leg, wouldn't it still be a trip?

Hmm, didn’t notice that. Maybe you’re right.

moreso than you realized i was talking about next season

even if he did try to jump over his stick/leg, wouldn't it still be a trip?
- Ftown19125

I say yes, but who knows? If a player puts his stick or body in a position that an opposing player has to leap over him to avoid being tripped, and ends up on his back on the ice, my arm would go up as a ref.

well in that case...

LOL

(frank) i gotta see this movie

I agree, and I can't point to any specific incident, but I feel like I've seen it happen.

Coot's was mic'd up for the trip.

It would also be real odd to see a play like that where the offending player made absolutely no contact with the opposing player, so I'm not saying Player A sees Player B skating behind him with his leg out and decides to jump up to avoid it and ends up flat on his back. There would have to be some contact of some sort there.
