That'll probably do it for TB

[mikey]

Yeah, not great for them..

They need most-of-his-playoff-career Bob to appear in a hurry...

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

woof that save by Anderson

[mikey]

Old school, 2x pad stack glove save by Andersen...love that. Romanov can't believe it...

[Orlando Penguin]

Hate to see it on the Island.

[mikey]

I'm sure I'll jinx it...but man, Ovechkin has been a straight up liability in this series. Not even neutral, just straight up awful...

[meow]

Rempe is trash

[Orlando Penguin]

Throwing octopi -- 8 tentacles = 8 wins needed to win Cup (in the good ole days)

Throwing catfish -- signifying that you're a bottom feeder by throwing a bottom feeder.

[Orlando Penguin]

SOG 16-9 Preds through 2. Zzzzzzzzz

[King Colby]

Yeah there have been WAAAAAAY too many "low event" games. This rangers caps game sucks

[mikey]

Man, a goalie goal by Igor in Washington would really highlight how much of an embarrassment they have been so far...

[King Colby]

Yeah thanks for coming out, Washington

[Orlando Penguin]

Remarkable that you can win a playoff game with only 12 shots on goal for the game.

And the last time it happened, it was us against the Preds in Game 1 where we went a year and a half between shots.

[mikey]

37 minutes if I recall...and then Guentzel thrusted one by Rinne...

[Orlando Penguin]

Mikey, I'm assuming that you've reffed games. How would you have handled someone stickhandling through your legs on a breakout like Draisaitl just did?

[mikey]

Assuming you're talking about the zone entry...I'd probably react the same way, just try your best to get out of the way. Get your feet up and get your body out of the assumed path.

I am the chattiest ref I know. So, I communicate with guys about where I am gonna go and where they should go.

Last weekend, I got into some situations in the corner that were sudden change. And I'll slide up off the boards as I see the change of possession and yell, "you got the wall, you got the wall...wall is yours."

And guys talk back to you too "thank you" or "good talk, ref" or next time you're on the bench side, they say, "hey, good communication out there, keep it up."

Same thing when guys are in a back skate or whatever. "Hey, I'm right here. Hey 4's, I'm on your back."

But yeah, that's a hazard. I ref at a much slower level thankfully, so it's pretty easy if you have a bit of hockey sense. But it happens...bad bounce or whatever...and you just try to give them as much predictable room as you can...

[Orlando Penguin]

How much do you wish you could make like the refs of the pre-90s and grab the glass and hop up on the boards?

[mikey]

Oh God, that would be sweet. Provided you don't accidentally leave your wedding ring on...that's a fast way to lose a finger haha

[JC2]

Scheifele... woof...

[mikey]

Not good.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

well, the Avs game flipped quickly

[Ad@m]

Dillon left a lot of blood on the ice.

[mikey]

Yeah, did he get stepped on in there? Looked pretty serious...

[Ad@m]

NSFW close up of the cut. Gore warning.
