It's hilarious to me that people think this series is any different than any other bitterly contested series. Dives, cheap shots, gamesmanship, media manipulation, etc.

I'm sorry, but to say the Blackhawks aren't obstructing is just ridiculous. I'm not saying we lost because of it, but keep the calls even. If you're gonna penalize Torres for that goaltender interference, you have to call Bolland's slash on Sedin and a ton of other non-calls. The calls they missed weren't questionable, they were blatantly obvious.

So you're saying the Sedins are as big a pair of divers as Kane, then?

I'm a Calgary fan, I dislike Kane greatly, and I already think he's a soft diver. That being said, the Sedin vids and gifs are of them in this series and are just as relevant. Stop trying to deflect.

I'm not going to get into which team dives more or which team isn't getting the calls but that was clearly a dive.

Yeah, I'm not so bothered about the ones getting called on the Canucks. It's that they're calling two different games. Canucks game is being called tight, the they're letting the Hawks game flow.

Because both teams have divers doesn't excuse it for the ***** move it is, with players that should be called out for it and mocked.

Well, to be fair his back was never touched. In this case he did go for the most delicate area closest to where he was touched. Smart move.

Can't have them going all Italian-soccer on us. Then they would lose all credibility.

Why do people think that for a game to be called fairly there needs to be an equal amount of penalties called for both teams?

Fairly =/= Same amount

That Gillis interview was pretty pathetic.

Stop crying about the refs, it is not their fault that your team has blown a 3 game lead and guys you have given millions of dollars to haven't been good enough.

Anyone remember when hockey discussions weren't about diving and missed calls?

Maybe that's how Bolland manages to play against the top players of the league. "If I slash their stick in half right before they get a scoring chance, then they won't be able to score!"

The Canucks got away with plenty as well.

Powerplay goals:

Chicago 6

Vancouver: 4

The Canucks haven't lost these games because of Blackhawks PP's.

Was it also pathetic when Bowman did the same thing after game two and the Hawks ended up getting 7 powerplays compared to the 2 given to the Canucks in the very next game?

I'll be the first one to trash the refs, but that interview was brutal. The refs haven't been great, but they haven't been bad enough to be the main cause towards the Canucks losing 3 straight.

No, but perhaps the Canucks would have more PP goals if some of the **** Chicago's been doing starts getting called?

For once I actually agree with Steve Simmons:

Mike Gillis normally doesn't say much of interest. Maybe he should stick to that policy.

Didn't Bowman go talk to the refs in their dressing room after Game 2?

I don't think any of us are saying that.
