You're not getting that call in the last minute of regulation in the playoffs, regardless of who you are. Sure, makes sense.... Wreck a game because you think holding shouldn't be called in the last minute of a playoff game. I guess they dont' call too many men i the last 10 minutes either... Give me a freaking break. If anything you're being hypocritical with the lashings on Ladd then excusing them for not calling those, especially when one of the non-calls was the ONLY reason theys cored the goal. In the end though, they lost because they stink on the power play, it's actually unreal how freaking bad they are on the powerplay. Next year they need to desperately search for a skilled forward that actually knows how to consistently use his stick in close quarters. You'd have to be extremely lucky to win any playoff series without being half way competent on a powerplay. Regarding the too many men call - Yeah it sucks, but it happens. I don't know if you've seen much of the Nashville/Chicago series, but the exact same thing happened, and Patrick Kane scored on the same shift. I'm not being hypocritical whatsoever in relation to the call on Ladd. As I said the refs more often than not put their whistles away in the final few minutes of regulation in the playoffs, ESPECIALLY in tie games. You see the same thing in overtime. Officials only make calls if it's an absolute must. That's how it should be. What happened with Ladd was not in the final few moments. It was an accident on his part, but you need to be more aware with your stick like that. Could the officials have let it go? Sure, but at the same time I certainly don't fault them for making the call as contact was made to the head. I agree the power play has been bad - Our special teams entirely hasn't been good as the PK has looked unorganized and have had trouble clearing the zone as well. You also need your best players to be your best players. When two of your three goals have been scored by a rookie, and a part time defenseman, that's a hell of a problem.

Ducks have 6 goals in 2 games. 3 on the power play. So both teams have scored 3 even strength goals in 2 games. Even strength or otherwise is irrelevant. You have to find a way to score, period. They have, we haven't. It's that simple.

You're not getting that call in the last minute of regulation in the playoffs, regardless of who you are.

Blame the officials all you want but three goals in two games against the best team in the conference just isn't going to cut it.

You know what would be awesome? Having a captain that actually acts like a captain. His turnover in game one that resulted in a goal was bad enough. Even worse was the penalty Ladd took that resulted in a goal tonight. Thankfully he's a free agent after next year.

McDavid will absolutely be the missing piece, the answer in Edmonton... ...Just like Hall, RNH, and Yakupov all were

So let me see if I get this straight - We're dumping Michael Caine, and Christian Bale, inserting Ben Affleck, and making Batman's eyes glow and turning him into a villain? Yeah I'll pass. Thanks though Warner Brothers.

Not sure it would have mattered in the end but still... "By virtue of the rule, the actions of both players qualified as a violation of goalkeeper interference and should result in a disallowed goal." http://www.tsn.ca/c-mon-ref-should-perry-s-second-goal-have…

Retaliation, it's gonna get called. That's just it. Is it weak? Yeah you could make that argument, but Kesler knew exactly what he was doing and Scheifele fell for it. Retaliation penalties rarely go uncalled.

Stupid, selfish penalties (hi Mark Scheifele), defensive zone turnovers (hi Andrew Ladd - Where have you been the past month), and your best player being invisible (hi Dustin Byfuglien) against the best team in the conference makes for a very short series.

8-10 or 9-9. Playoff birth. Anything more is just gravy.

Won't play tomorrow but it wasn't catastrophic we don't think. - Maurice just now.

I guess people didn't learn anything with Grigsby and getting excited over a 40 yard dash time. Look at his yards per carry. He also has a history of injuries through his time in Maryland which carried over to his time with the Giants hence why he was out of the NFL in three years. He also lacks an ability to break tackles.

Depends on what happens with Minnesota.

Fleury, Luongo, Bobrovsky, Quick just to name a few. Not saying he's that calibre of goalie but there definitely is good goalies in that range.

Personally I think it's just giving credit where it's due. He's playing extremely well right now. He deserves to be praised.

I'd love to be proven wrong and the Jets ride Pavelec to the next 3 Stanley Cups!! That's all it will take hey? Haha comical.

Flames fans wore red when the team was in white. Seemed to turn out alright.

The Oilers would allow that to happen...

Or we could just win again and say to hell with them both See. Nothing to it folks.

Yeah he was out of position though....

ZING!!

For those interested..

No offence intended but I'm not sure it really matters that much. Hypothetically lets say it comes to an end but we still make the playoffs - Do you sit Pavelec for a rookie goalie who hasn't played well since late February? Not likely unless you're absolutely forced. I like Hutch, don't get me wrong but there's just some things that aren't very smart to do in this time of the season. Starting a rookie goalie in this stage of the season or in the playoffs (yes there are a select few exceptions) unless you're forced isn't the best way to extend your season. For better or for worse it's Pavelec from here on out this year.
