Official Series Discussion Thread - Round 2 - Los Angeles Kings v. San Jose Sharks

[centrehice]

LA got all the marginal calls, were off-side a handful of times and got the bounces. For their part, they blocked and deflected about 50 pucks - absolute defensive discipline. The Sharks were all over them like a fat kid on a buffet. Quick stopped everything he saw last night and looks to be dialed-in.

I counted 7 Dustin Brown Dives. Slow night for him

Raffi Torres strikes again

Sharks get a Snow-Job by the referees. Call Vlasic for clearing the puck over the glass when it was plainly evident that it went off the arm of Jeff Carter.

Sharks lose their 3-2 lead. Kings score then 15 seconds later take the lead.

Something has to be done about the officiating in the NHL.

I have watched dustin brown since he started out in the ahl an i can say he is not a diver. I may be biased because i am a collector of his an a huge fan but he is the type of player that any team would want. He draws the most penalties in the league but i hardly see him flop as much as say burrows. He hits an isnt afraid to drop the gloves if challenged, he can pass an score, an all around type of player. If your just going to count every time he falls in a game an call it a dive then that is just being biased on brown. I bet you probably think the slash he took from mike smith in last years playoffs was a dive too? or the crosscheck from hanzal that sent him head first in the boards?

The tripping call was an obvious trip, the delay of the game was questionable, but it wasnt clear that it went off of carter before going out of play. But in any case vlasic has to control where he places the puck, he flipped it an instead of hitting the glass like planned or shooting it away from the glass an it went out of play. it has been called all playoffs and has always beeen an automatic call.

It sure as hell was clear that the pick hit Carter. Have a look at your username.

In your case, every time brownie falls down you consider it a dive yet he never complains to the refs looking for a call or stays down on a play. Me thinks you just hate a good player an pick on him for every little thing he does

Except for that time in the Caps-Rangers series where it was clearly shot over the glass and wasn't called.
