Vanek without a point, but counting Purcell's illegitimately disallowed goal you got the score right, if not the teams

Just last week we were discussing instant replay for just this sort of thing...what a coincidence. Even though we obviously won without that goal, do we need any better example than this?What if that had been a Cup-winning goal getting waved off improperly like that--by some fucking LINESMAN 40 feet away when the ref standing right there on the goal line emphatically signaled good goal?

I agree...looked to me like Thompson let up and the guy knelt down to avoid it. Still, I'm not too upset by erring on the side of safety when it's boarding, given how fucking pathetic some other calls were tonight (like the goal, and the one where Brewer chops Emelin's stick out of his hands, then trips over it while Emelin is recovering it, and they call that tripping on Emelin...yeesh)
Did Johnson miss Murray blindsiding Kostka and go jump the wrong guy? Way to stand up for your teammate though, esp. giving away about 30 lbs. and seven inches of height. Speaking of which, if Shanahan would give a suspension appropriate to the hit instead of considering the playoffs are about to start and, you know, it's the...
Montreal Canadiens,...Murray would be serving popcorn for the entire series vs. the Bolts, making the entire discussion about dishing out retribution pointless.
Only trouble is the huge, gaping abyss between what they SAY they want (serious suspensions for the most serious, deliberately vicious headhunting hits, making player retribution pointless) and what they actually want (happy fan$ watching the
"Hab$" play po$t$ea$on game$ & not talking about who's $u$pended). So they'll maybe rest Murray for the remainder of the season, a whole five games...and, of course, FINE his a$$....so he'll be nice & fresh for the playoff$! $eem$ pretty $en$ible, doe$n't it
