it takes a lot of effort to out-douche Boston sports fans.

Yeah and we still have a long way to go. Nobody died during Vancouvers, unlike those rowdy Boston fans!

Three fans died in recent Boston sports riots -- one after the Patriots' Super Bowl win in February 2004, another after the Red Sox won the 2004 AL pennant and a third after the Celtics won the 2008 NBA crown.

And the fact the guy couldn't even spell Canucks properly shows how much of a fan he really is. I bet he was a fan for about 2 months last year. April through June.

Ducks got robbed, distinct kicking motion my ass.

Ask a soccer player if that was a kick...

His skate was moving toward the puck when contact was made, and there was no reason for that movement other than to kick the puck. if he just glided in and the puck deflected off his skate, it would have been a goal. Probably (you never know with kicked goal calls).

This call was consistent with the rule and consistent with past calls.

However, past calls have completely ignored the rule as it is written (they often weigh perceived intent more heavily than whether there was actually a kicking motion), so I have long said the NHL either needs to change the rule to say what they want it to say (or remove the subjectivity from it entirely).

I feel your pain though, having experienced last season with the Devils where they were trying to do what the Ducks are trying to do now.

Fairly clear he kicked it.
There's no fucking way he kicked it, the defender's stick was pushing his foot, and that's what forced his foot to move. His entire body weight was on that foot, which is clear if you watch the replay. Tell me how you can take the foot that carries all your body weight and kick it outside....it's physically impossible. I'm not arguing his foot moved, I'm arguing he didn't move it, and therefore he didn't kick it.

Ya, you guys have quite a few games in hand. Boston has had many more reasons to riot. Give it a few more tries and I'm sure you can reach your goals. You can do it! We believe in you!

Datsyuk out for 2 weeks. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk came out the darling of a recent 25-category National Hockey League Players' Association poll, though the results were less kind to the Canucks. The veteran centre was named the smartest player, most difficult to play against, hardest to get off the puck, cleanest to play against and toughest forward to play against. Goalies also named him toughest to stop. ... The Vancouver Canucks were named the most overrated team with nearly one in four players [naming] the defending Western Conference champions. The Canucks got 24% of the vote, with Toronto second at 18% and Washington third at 15%. The surprising St. Louis Blues were named the most underrated team, garnering 28% of the votes.

Fairly clear he kicked it.

No way he kicked it. Did he move his feet? Yes, but not to kick the puck. He moved his skates to 1) slow himself down and 2) angle the puck's deflection. On the ice call should've stand.
