The worst part is going to be when Nashville turns back into a pumpkin after beating the Hawks, then getting swept by the Blues. :mad:

That's the best part actually

It wasn't though

Just because you make contact with a knee or whatever as part of an otherwise legal check doesn't make it illegal

The fact that it was called a trip, which is an obstruction foul, rather than kneeing or some other safety foul, tells me the ref twitched when he saw ovi go down and then had to assess something vaguely related to what happened to save face


Do you actually know anything about the rules at all?

code:
44.1 [b]Clipping[/b] - Clipping is the act of throwing the body, from any direction, across or below the knees of an opponent

I mean watch literally the first loving example of a legal hip check from DPS

https://youtu.be/2CfdAeS9bEc

The first hip check looks nothing like the hit on Ovi. That first clipping example looks oddly close to the hit on Ovi though. Thanks for proving yourself wrong.

just lol

Completely different!

If I knew how to do video editing I'd put all three side by side but oh well


I'm not arguing hip checks aren't dangerous, but according to the current rules that's a legal hit

Perfect, grab the angle the doesn't show where he's getting hit when every other angle shows it's at the knee.

Can I get a quick rundown on why I should hate the Predators and their fan base

You shouldn't and instead should love and support them for being great and non-toxic.

The west was a far weaker conference on the whole this year

More specifically, the metro was super strong this year. The Atlantic however...

 The world would be a better place if the ducks were forced to play against predator drones instead of the hockey team.
