Dude, I saw it. And so did all of you, but it was your guy so you'll back him.
Nah I can separate my feelings from it, unlike you, apparently. If there's a bad call that helps my team, I can admit it.
Just now, Chewbacca said:Yeah, I'm thankful he doesn't have a concussion. But let's quit with the 'didn't hit him in the head' bullshit, mmmkay?
I would do that ... had he actually hit him in the head.

Yeah, that's why Toews went in to get tested for concussion protocol. Because he totally didn't hit his head.
You do understand that you don't need to be hit in the head to suffer a concussion, right? Right? And you also understand that being tested for it doesn't mean you have a concussion, right?

Makar got suspended for that hit. Are you saying Benn should also be suspended? Dude went shoulder first into Toews' head and left his feet.
No he didn't. Stop making shit up.
He went shoulder to shoulder on him, elbow down, and hit him hard enough that his head whipped around, making it look in real-time like he had hit his head. Even the annoncers were talking about it.
It was a helluva big hit, but it was clean and legal.

He is probably putting the finishing touches on that article this afternoon.
Yeah I'm sure. It's probably been keeping him up at night.

And still legal. Calling for frontier justice is the right answer? I hope this is just click bait and not the guy’s actual opinion.
Yeah the Pietrangelo hit on Seguin was dirty (even though Seguin said he doesn't view Pietrangelo as a dirty player). Benn's hit was clean, shoulder to shoulder, no elbow, etc. He just hit him so fucking hard that it made his head whip around, which made some dipshits think it was dirty.

especially after that ridiculous embellishment call last game. That was 10x the embellishment.
So, about that ... can someone here explain to me like I'm a child what Marchment did on either of those plays that indicates to the ref that he flopped? Because I can't see anything there on either of 'em.

LOL. Depends who's hitting them. Dude just throws metballs all over the place.

Jesus. Arrighetti is just fucking brutal, right from the first time I ever saw him pitch ... and nothing I've seen since has done anything but reinforce that. Just a bunch of gut punches followed by a bunch of kicks in the nuts.

A blast from the past ... the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix :
It was July, so ... it was hot. Nige took a break.
Safety standards were a little different back then. That's just a chain link fence, y'all.
The Paddock was just a parking lot, the cars, and not much else. Current small series paddocks are nuch nicer, and have shade, etc.
"It's called Sex Panther, by Odeon. 60% of the time, it works every time". Jacques Laffitte and Keke Rosberg try to cool off.
Pretty high-tech pit wall.
Glitz & glamour.
McLaren crew in full Marlboro regalia.
... and sporting twin brake calipers. Pretty wild.
The great Gordon Murray keeps watch.

Right? It's like they've *almost* figured out how to enforce track limits...
Yep, and not only track limits violations. If they have gravel and/or grass in the right places, a whole lot of things that now need policing would be handled automatically by the track design. With a gravel trap on the inside of that turn in Miami, KMag wouldn't have even tried the move on Sargent that ended his race.

Yeah, seems like Maffei & Malone got some 'splainin to do.

Which is bullshit. The sporting regulations should apply to Turn 1
And because he didn't hit anyone, which is also bullshit because they say they give out penalties based on the infraction & not based on the outcome.

Go! Stars! Loved, loved the defense tonight. More of that, please. Fuck yeah.
That stat about the 8-win game 7 coaches is just nuts.

And oh yeah ... Magnussen gets 2 points for wiping Logan out.
So .... add this to the long list of big incidents that Alonso's China bump is somehow worse than.
Wow.
Also, re: Stroll, he sucks, but he was unlucky with the SC timing, and I'm not sure they gave the penalty to the right guy there at the end (not that it would have put him in the points). He was fully alongside Albon and Albon ran him off the track.

K mag. He's been channeling his best stroll impersonation all weekend.
Or just as bad, his best KMag impression. He's a menace. Always has been. It is known.

Ah, ok. So it wasn't just me then. And how about the incredible blonde on the top level of the pit building at the end of the pre-race show. OMFG.
19 hours ago, Hawndoh said:I don't know, seems Sainz rear end slid out and he had to catch it which put his tire across Piastri's wing
Yes. That.
19 hours ago, Hawndoh said:Max has had grip problems all race. He complained of understeer like 5 laps in and just has never looked like the usual Red Bull
All weekend. Some people thought he was bluffing when he said the car's balance was shit, but I really don't think that's how he rolls. It really was shit.
18 hours ago, aggie08 said:Wonder how it would have looked without the safety car. Norris probably would have had too many cars been he and Max, but maybe he could have run him down.
Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. That SC could not have come at a better time for Lando, and that car went great on the Hard tire. He was about to pit anyway, and without the SC iirc he would have probably come out somewhere around P6 or 7. Fantastic race by him. He deserved a win. (And not just because he used to follow me on twitter before he handed it off to a s/m assistant.)

The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread
in Other Sports
Posted · Edited by wood
Like I said, I'm the guy who can separate my love for my team from what I see on the screen. You must be the other guy.
OK. Cool. You do you.
When I first saw it in real time, I thought he might have hit him in the head and would have been fine with a penalty if that's what the replays actually showed him doing. Then I saw the replays that confirmed that he indeed did not hit Toews in the head. His head whipped around because of how hard Benn hit him, not because he hit had him in the head.
Now, what do you think about the two times Marchment has been on the receiving end of phantom Embellishment calls that kept the Stars from going on the powerplay? One of those was key to the Avs comeback in game 1, iirc, but I've slept since then.
