Out of curiosity, WHY does the NHL call that play offside?  

 

It's my understanding that a player is no longer in play once he reaches the bench (regardless of whether or not he has left the ice yet). There is a "10 foot rule" or whatever you want to call it for line changes. The player doesn't have to be off completely before the next player can come on. 

 

So why (in the interests of keeping the flow of the game) would the NHL call an offside on a player who isn't there?  The player at the bench is like a ghost: he doesn't exist. 

 

Also keep in mind that this is only an issue because the NHL moved the blue lines out several years ago, thereby allowing this to happen. 

 

Because  it served  the outcome they wanted

Refs best bow to decency and my demands or I will cast a royal wizard spell upon them which will likely beset their fields with locusts: 

 

   

 

No partial LA King pun intended. But I'm copasetic if such punning was inferred. 

 

P. S. Have you, has anyone, ever seen such a sequence in which one guy scores 

a shorthanded goal at Power Play start, then another one at Power Play finish?  

Eye-popping/eye-catching stuff!   [<--closest (EP/EC) emoticon I could find]  

Lol yeah, like I said.

Hand pass

Let Shark goals one and two for Game 2 be warnings and reminders for refs not to call weak or nonexistent penalties at any time. That goes double for the Playoffs. Couture goes beast mode to bookend that nonsense called on Sorensen. 

Lol warnings  and reminders for refs?

They will do as they please, as they  are told. As they have always done. And there's nothing you can or will do about it. Refs own your emotions. You don't warn refs.

I know about the software problems.  Seeing you are a Hawks fan is shocking.  That is why you are against the Blues number one. Number two, its rare to see members here that are not fans of the Philadelphia Flyers.  I usually just assume

1. my last name is similar to Schultz. I grew up outside los Angeles/Pasadena..when he was a King.

2. I'm a fan of all sports and teams as entertainment. its not some gang war that i'm obligated to pick sides on.

The Hawks have one of the coolest and oldest logos/jerseys.

I also picked Sharks to make it to finals, even though the only jersey I own is a Vegas Knights one, that was a Christmas gift.

 I'd take a Blues jersey any day as well

i'm not against the Blues. I simply know they are losing because its what the league wants.

never mind number 1,  lol. I thought I used the Dave Schultz picture like i did elsewhere.

  One ****king game and you think it’s over?  And it’s in California where teams need time to adjust.  The Blues deserve more credit.  I have faith in them over those bearded Turkeys !   Turkey!!

I really  don't care who wins. I'm saying it's already decided.

Worst game of the playoffs for Binnington by far.  Parayko did him no favors either.  He played far far better vs Dallas in game 7.  But this is no surprise to me. Its one game.  I am not worried.  Adjusting to playing in California and the time is never easy. Dallas was hell bent on defense.  San Jose is hell bent on offense.  Meaning Berube will make adjustments.  He will keep one more back, trust his goalie and try and catch them odd man on blocks and turnovers. Just keep it out and they will score enough to win. They almost pulled this out even as bad as things went.  That was very close to being 5-4 with Berube pulling the goalie early. I was a bit surprised he pulled him so early with it being only a 2 goal deficit

Here's what will happen. The Sharks will win the series but you'll be able to have a injury or bad ref call that you can refer to as an excuse  why things didn't go well. But you won't do that. You'll simply use some sports cliche that  they didn't want it bad enough or what ever.

The Blues are a far better team

1 down, 3 to go

The league will let STL host all 3 of their home games  for profit and fan joy, but San Jose will still win the series.

 The Blues are just being used to make up for lost Rams revenue

Sharks already won tonight. It's a given

The govt can easily fool you. And your gift is proof how ignorant  the typical sports fan is. They believe a guy won 3 championships in a row, quit two years and comes back to win 3 more...while getting older lol.

The league made sure he won because  they had millions invested in his popularity. It made people buy shoes and junk food. It's all by design, all planned out years in advance. Because  Johnny sports  fan is too stupid to grasp it= Occams Razors actual purpose. Or it can also be stated that mine is the actual simpler solution. I see a lie,  I call it a lie and move on. Simple minded sports fan, over complicates it with : well the refs bla bla, the line bla bla, they just didn't want it bla bla.

 The Sharks are winning tonight. It was already decided  a long, long time ago.

It will be California  vs Boston in the final, like nfl and MLB, and you'll still be ignorant enough to call it a coincidence. 

Lol at being so ignorant, you try to argue a puck defying all laws of physics, is just a lucky,odd bounce. I'm not the one who needs help.

It explains everything. The problem is you just don't like the answer. Not my problem it's yours. Good day sir.

its a non critical thinking, coincidence theorist answer.

it just happened, man, thats all.... You simply refuse to want to know the truth.

that night, the Sharks won their 113th playoff game on the 113th day of the year.

that is not a coincidence. that is pure predetermined outcome. theres no way in hell thats luck.

the apology is a mocking of you the fan because they know your unable to grasp the biggest hints.

no one scores 4 goals in three minutes unless the other team straight just lays down.

its season 101 and the Sharks are the only team to finish season with 101 points.

You prove your claim. You have no proof just assumptions.

 

I have seen many times bad ice divert the puck...so every time it happens the league want it that way???

 

 

DAMN THE NHL YOU FUGGERS!!!!!

And even the refs are helping them!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 saying bad bounces just happen doesnt explain anything.

the fact of the matter is, the very first goal in this video proves my point again.

I'm sorry but you cant be taken seriously if you call that a natural accident based on any actual physics. the puck blatantly went in a completely unnatural reaction. to say otherwise is simply ignorance.

 are you people in your 30s/40s/50s? and you still think multi billion dollar sports is some untouched, pure, childish entity? its time to stop watching sports like the13 year old you once were. Sports is staged entertainment and they choose who wins and when.

Lol bad ice? Bad ice doesn't make a puck shoot straight across past a net with nothing having pushed it. 

Bad ice doesn't pull a puck in two different  directions from a completely  separate  direction. Youre fighting to lie to yourself.

A hockey player with a Spanish name, scores a goal in Los Angeles, in the Stanley Cup and you don't find it suspicious? 

 Your comment is childish. You've been trained to just generalize people who question  things and think for themselves.  I don't care what shape  the earth is or isn't. I don't think or know that it's flat. And again, I showed you videos that are proof. Point blank unquestionable proof that  they use technology  to alter games

Like Mr. Miyagi said... "Yes, I know karate...but somebody always know more.."  

Insanity  is a a legal term. It has nothing  to do with the psychology profession. Mental illness has nothing  to do with disagreeing with the origin  and purpose of something. 

Are you denying the blatantly  obvious  videos? Those are distinct visual  proof. Youre absolutely  correct. I know more than  any sports fan who thinks sports isn't staged and fixed.

I reject this ridiculous, impossible and obtuse conspiracy theory on the same grounds that I reject all ridiculous, impossible and obtuse conspiracy theories.

 

Three people may keep a secret, but only if two of them are dead. A rigged game masquerading as sport which generates almost $5 billion in revenues would create a conspiracy which requires upwards of literally 1,000+ people at any given time, not to mention the countless people who have worked in the NHL over the years, but nobody has EVER said or leaked any of that information. Going back to wrestling, because it's the perfect example... In the 1920s, it morphed from a legitimate and competitive sport into what we know now as pro wrestling, with match results being pre-determined by promoters, all with a goal of keeping it a secret.

 

Within just a few short years, one of the first major promoters, Jack Pfeffer, found himself locked out of the New York territory by his former partners, and blabbed about all of wrestling's secrets to the press. Over the decades, various other performers, from journeymen like Jim Wilson to stars like Thunderbolt Patterson, also exposed the business. A little bit more than 11,000 men have played in the NHL over its history, and not one has spilled the beans? Countless coaches, executives, owners, trainers, reporters, TV executives, etc, etc, etc... None have uttered a word. The Mafia had more loose lips to deal with. On its face, the idea that this many people could keep such a thing secret is monumentally ridiculous and insulting to the intelligence of people with an IQ at pool temperature. The more people required to make a conspiracy work, the more likely it is to fall apart at some point.

 

As with all conspiracies, there is a profound lack of evidence. There are vague allusions which point to come-from-behind victories and unlikely scenarios, but in the end, when real plans are uncovered, there is often mountains of verifiable documentary evidence which demonstrates the agreement among its participants to further the cause of the conspiracy. In the case of the NHL (or any other pro sport) there isn't one single piece of actual evidence. There's just "Yeah, right! Four goals on one major penalty?!"

 

This leads to another classic failing of conspiracy theorists, where they hold that the people involved in these plans are so clever and meticulous that they are able to cover up a huge and tangled network of lies and schemes, even when the evidence of their actual ineptitude is all around us. The NHL has long made things up as they go, creating silly rules, without testing them, seemingly with little thought into whether they'll help, hinder or are even wanted. They constantly show themselves to be bush league, yet are somehow capable of a grand scheme to rig their league on a nightly basis? The NHL couldn't rig a church bingo game.

 

This leads to a natural question, as I see it: why? What's really in it for the NHL to spend all of the huge amounts of time and money that such a massive conspiracy would require when there any number of legitimate ways to try and attract more eyeballs to hockey games? Does all of the effort from the San Jose / Vegas game 7 fix bring a large number of new viewers, or keep fans who would go away? No. There is so little reward from engaging in a scheme that difficult and expensive to pull off that there really would be no point to even engage in it in the first place, and when any Tom, Dick or Harry can quickly think of any number of superior methods which would have better results than the conspiracy, then the usefulness of the conspiracy falls apart pretty damned quickly.

 

Or maybe I'm wrong, and I just don't have the common sense to know what I'm looking at.

 its not theory, its a fact thats been happening in all leagues since day one.

saying you dont believe it wont make it not real. pro sports was invented to profit the gambling industry and govt. not to feed you honest competition.

the fact is, anyone with common sense knows that you cant be a billionaire/in the company of billionaires unless you are dishonest to the core. everything they do is to rip the common man off. just because a dumb ass at your job cant keep a secret , it has nothing to do with a billion dollar business. all you know is you turned on your tv and watched a game. you cant for one second say who does and thinks what, outside the ice.

theres no lack of evidence. Its simply the fans inability to recognize fakery when they see it.

I dont need an authority figure to tell me its happening. all you need is the common sense to know fantastic finishes to games cant keep happening every week, unless its manipulated and staged. they wouldnt make billions if it simply played out naturally.

  its not remotely impossible to do. for you it is. not for billionaires with power and resources.

Alec Martinez.. the only player in Hockey with that last name. Just happened to be on the LA Kings. LA, a city with a large Mexican and spanish population.. just happens to have a player named Martinez. the only player in Hockey history with that name. And he's the one who scores the winning goal in OT for the Stanley cup!?! thatys not coincidence by any stretch of a childish imagination. that cant happen unless planned. 

the two videos below cant be disputed. this is proof.

this video is proof beyond any doubt that technology scored the goal, not physics

in no way, shape or form can you argue this is a coincidental bounce. Proof, its nothing but proof.

trying to explain it away is denial/cognitive dissonance.

the Sharks are the only team in playoffs , to finish season with 101 points ,in the 101st season. that may significantly already indicate something.

and of Course Vegas lol, such blatant fixing to get them to the finals. what a major coincidence to profit and attract attention while the Raiders are moving in as well. And i guarantee the Raders will be a playoff team as soon as they move there. Just like the Rams were as soon as they moved to LA. its so obvious how its done now.

Also, over more then the last 10 years.. at least one team in California , in at least one of the four major sports has made it a conference championship or final. Thats impossible without premeditated external execution.
