He pulled way up before actually running into him/having the defender run into him (which is what happened on the actual PI call). If you don't actually go for the ball, defender isn't in theory preventing you from making a play on it.
Honestly I think they burned too much time even getting 7. Being down that timeout sucks, too. A couple first downs here and it'll essentially be over.
I agree it would be huge money. Conor might think Masvidal is a bad match up, though. If he could get Khabib in Russia that might be bigger (although I don't think he should get that fight next).
Be surprised if he calls out anyone specifically too much. You know Conor, he'll wait to take the temperature of whatever he thinks will make the most money (and be a decent match up)
To be fair, he had 2 unlucky ones today. Although we got one of those back with the 2nd Ovechkin goal.
But I'm on board, team just plays better in front of Samsonov, too. Insane 3rd period.
Ovechkin officially enters top 10 goals all time, goal #690 ties Lemieux. Also good to see Holtby has bad luck in addition to his normal struggles, guess I can't really blame Gudas for puck going in off him.
Man the East playoffs will be a bloodbath. Carolina a threat to anyone, Tampa and Toronto getting their shit together. Caps/Bruins/Pens/Isles pretty much been good all year.
Didn't think they gave up that many tonight, clearly outplayed Jersey. Although agree 100% on the shorties, not sure what Carlson was doing on that play. Holtby or Samsonov, you're just playing with fire letting guys go in alone. Even worse when you're up a man.
Yeah I'm kind of on this side of it. Agreed if it was a female cop would be different, but it wasn't, and that does change the situation some. Should he do it? No. Should this be "battery"? Fuck no.
