Could someone tell me why the refs didn't call this too many men on the ice. It's suppose to be 4-on-4 and Derek Roy is the 5th man on the ice and the one who scores on the breakaway. Even though the Flyers played like crap for most of the game, I still don't see how this gets overlooked:

I heard Stevens yelling about that...no clue

A call like this should not be missed in a professional sport. It follows the troubling pattern of poor officiating this year.

NHL Goal Horns..http://www.2khockey.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7762&st=0/

Interesting listens

 

[TLH]

Did you know San Jose's horn is from the movie Jaws?

 

[Immortalfire]

That sounds familiar.

Did you know their goal horn is terrible, lol.

I also hate the Zombie Nation goal songs, ick. I like the simple, classic, Dallas Stars one that about a dozen other teams have, lol. Great horn.

 

[Immortalfire]

I like Dallas, Atlanta, Carolina, Minnesota, Buffalo, Vancouver

Don't like Tampa, Pittsburgh or Ottawa's horns.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Buffalo is my fav

 

[Victor Creed]

Buffalo is my fav

Even with that horrible song attached to the end, lol.

*vomits*

 

[War Party]

I love the Flyers. Mainly because they play Bro Hymn Tribute by Pennywise when they score. Been listening to that band since I was 14.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Ovechkin sucks...2 more goals

 

[Immortalfire]

Thrashers are done. dammit

 

[Victor Creed]

What a god awful effort from the Stars.

Modano is a joke this season. If he doesn't retire after this season all he'll do is waste 2 million or so in cap space.

Good game in Chicago, the Hawks shut out the Ducks 3-0. Corey Crawford's first career win after being called up. The Hawks now I think are 3 or 4 points back of the 7th and 8th spots. I'm going to the game on Friday, they are honoring Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull. It's still going to be difficult, but the kids might make the playoffs after being declared dead a few weeks ago.

 

[TLH]

Thank god Chicago took down the Ducks. I hate how tight everything is. But wow, yeah, the Hawks are making a push -- good for them.

 

[Jerry!]

It's nuts, they are starting like 6 or 7 rookies in some games due to injuries.

 

[MissHush]

personally, my st. louis blues organization called it quits. we traded one guy no one knows for another guy no one knows. that's the organization saying "hey! we tried, but failed. come see us next year!"...jerks...

 

[Victor Creed]

Who hasn't heard of Cam Janssen or Bryce Salvador?

Besides, why should your team sucking be a new thing?

 

[Immortalfire]

The Blues are pretty good, more often than not. Except for the past two seasons, they had made the playoffs every year since '79.

well, we started the season off like we knew how to play hockey. new owner, coach...etc. then we got rid of weight. then we gave up a few months later.

and yes, the blues are good more often then not. it just so happens they choose not to be good at the most critical point in the season.

They must have chosen to not be good for the past few years then. I don't know what it is with the Blues, but they can't score goals. Legace has been good as usual this season, but the lack of scoring shows how "good" the team is. They have their few bright points throughout the lineup, but then they have guys who are nothing special.

Right now it's a waiting game of mediocrity until Oshie and Co. can get into the NHL. I actually like the new owner too, btw.

oh, davidson is awesome. he's done a lot for marketing the team this year and bringing our fans back to the games.

but your right. without legace, no one would even notice we exist outside of "oh, that's a team we'll beat"

i can't wait for Oshie though. I went to the frozen four last year in St. Louis and i was so impressed with his play. Plus ben bishop will be a nice backup in the next few years. not to mention the increase in attractiveness on the team will bring more female fans out to the game t:

 

[TLH]

St. Louis is a top six forward away from the playoffs. They'll be fine.

I agree. Davidson is one of those guys who remembers what it's like to be a hockey fan, and he's a damn smart guy.

The thing that makes me sad is that playing in St. Louis, Legace doesn't really get the credit he deserves (aside from the ASG appearance this year).

St. Louis, Phoenix, and Chicago are all gonna be crazy over the next couple years as far as watching the teams get better are concerned.

Coming into this sesaon Chicago was basically William Wirtz's death and a few signing signings away from being really good in the future. Wirtz died and now the entire culture of Blackhawk hockey has begun to change. Still gotta get rid of Khabibullin, and they gotta do something to replace Havlat, because that guy cannot stay healthy among other things, but a few of the kids they got right now look really good. Patrick Kane is probably going to break the team record for assists and Toews looks to be like a young Steve Larmer.
