Stars vs. Blues - Stanley Cup Playoffs Series Thread

[Purp]

Finally a lead at home.

Can't believe they called that a penalty on STL.

Makeup call for the weak high stick call on Dickenson IMO. Stick glanced a helmet and got the call. As weak as the goal by Bish.

 

[Purp]

Refs are calling some weak arse penalties tonight.

Agreed. Just commented about the first on on Dickenson and then the Faksa one. Unreal.

4-1! Benn to Hintz!

Came at a great time as the game had the feeling like STL was going to net one at any moment. They had tons of consistent pressure.

 

[MTfrog5]

Hintz is going to be really fun to watch

 

[MTfrog5]

Bishop is going to beat the [ Finebaum ] out of someone after that miss call

 

[ATC Frog]

Perron just slashed Bish and got away with it. These refs are terrible.

 

[ATC Frog]

Binnington just took a shot at Benn and then went after Bish as he exited the ice

Blues. Are. Trash.

 

[MTfrog5]

Refs letting it get out of hand and I’m sure Stars will get the raw end of the deal

 

[Volare]

WTH? Apparently if you are a visitor to AAC you can slash away with your stick with no penalty.

Now hearing double minor against STL! Nice!

 

[Purp]

Apparently Bennington got two minors. One for roughing and one for slashing.

The missed slash on Bish was egregious. Unreal with the ref looking right at it.

 

[Volare]

Now they are saying unsportsmanlike against Benn too.

 

[Purp]

Where was this offense all season? Stars have looked very dangerous for about 6-8 weeks. Glad they got it together, but they've had the same personnel most of the season.

I just don't see it. He skated by and tapped his pass with his stick. Goes uncalled 100 times every game. I hate when refs try to play it down the middle trying to look impartial rather than being equitable arbiters. And with Bennington's shenanigans going off the ice with Bish it's clear he was looking for a fight. Just send him a double minor so the Stars can score a couple quick ones to open the 3rd and give him am early shower. I've lost a lot of respect for him after that reaction to Benn's drive by.

There definitely needs to be some payback for that slash.

Yup. I'd like to see Benn chuck knuckles with Perron until his skull bleeds. Gotta put one more in to open the 3rd, though, before you go get a fighting major for your captain.

 

[Purp]

Wow. What a trash move. Hockey fights in the minors are so great, though.

Especially goalie fights.
