Has John Shannon been smoking crack? Edmonton has almost twice the population of Mississauga.
I rarely disagree with Ribs assessment of calls, but I think that the Refs made a close and tough call rather than a bad call. Rob and many others put the emphasis on the words "distinct kicking motion", but perhaps not enough on the word "propels". Also if you look at the exact moment where Colman's skate touches the puck, he looks clearly to be making a kick, and the pick is clearly propelled into the net. In most of the League's controversial allowed "puck kicked in" challenges, the player is clearly deflecting the puck rather than propelling the puck.
The loss wasn't Koskinen's fault. Nurse had been on the ice for 2:46, and stood there giving Tim Stutzle way too much time to pick his shot.
I wish they would stop dropping these segments in backwards order. it wasn't as bad when it was just 2 longer segments.
Hey Reid, Emma Raducanu is a Canadian citizen too!

Again and again. In the 2016 playoffs, you can blame the zebras, but now it is just stupid!
