Our announcers are (frank)ING RETARDED.

Get it through your mind already. Mute them and play the radio announcers from the Flyers.

clear dive, c'mon. should have only been a penalty for diving, not even the hook. these refs suck

Simmonds got his stick parallel to the ice, got it on the waist and then raked it across the guys body. It was a clear penalty. But it was also embellished as you said earlier.

It was a clean hit for christ sakes.

Maybe a bit cheap because of where Talbot was but what else is Henrique going to do?

I don't know if you can say embellished. Taormina was trying to move the other way and Simmonds was going the opposite way. I think Taormina was pulled down by Simmond's stick. That's another one where you can't tell if it was a dive.

Why the hell is Shelley waiting by the refs area to hear the call? he isn't captain.

Clear dive? Simmonds has his stick up around the guys neck. If Simmonds doesn't put his stick there, is a call made. It's a penalty.

It's quite comical what he says to be honest.

There was three dumb things he said that made me laugh.

Not sure I agree. yes Simmonds deserves a penalty for getting the stick around the mid section but there is a blatant hold and dive by the Devil's player. Ref has a bad view of the play with the Devil's player's back to him. That's how the Devs announcers saw it too. Classic Danny B move BTW.

Shelley came into the room after and told Lava that he talked ref into bumping it up for 2 to 4 minutes, no worries.
