Dubé took Budgell down on the ice in the 3rd. Budgell did absolutely nothing wrong but they still called both players. That is also impacting a game while trying not to by calling both players. Same with Rafanowhateverhisname mugging Cormier in the first period of Game 1 and they took both. One of their guys did the same to Brabanec and Brabanec got 4 minutes for roughing. The sad part is Shawinigan fans will think they genuinely earned the championship should they hold on to win the series. |

he seems like a guy who exaggerates a lot for attention to make things seem bigger than they actually are lol. Pretty obvious with the cigar and tall tales that he thinks he's king shit. He gives off strong Elon Musk wannabe vibes in these videos. It's like he watched Joe Rogan once and made that the entirety of his personality. |

Yup. All the Quebec reporters (and a certain SJ guy who seems to hate the Islanders) will treat it that way too, and of course the league will.

If Shawinigan wins the series, it won't be because of one call. As much as I am an Islanders fan, I understand that the Cataractes still could have scored in the last minute playing 6-on-5, and the outcome could have been the same as it was. We just don't know. What we do know is that the Islanders need to win one game....just one game.....to be right back in this series. And that game is game 3. Am I happy with the penalty call on Simoneau? No! Am I disappointed in the outcome of the game? Absolutely! But I'm not going to continue to complain about something I have no control over. And if Shawinigan does happen to win, then I will give credit where credit is due, and will, in all likelihood, cheer for them in the Memorial Cup. But right now, I am more focused on sending positive energy to the team I cheer for. They need that more than anything else. If the shoe were on the other foot, you'd be saying how that was the right call to make. |

I think both Remparts and Islanders' fans can relate to this quote by Remparts' president.  "We'll have to find a way to bring people back to arenas all over the league. We have to welcome people professionally and not ruin games at the last minute." |

We have to welcome people professionally and not ruin games at the last minute." I don't buy that though. What happens if the Islanders win that game in regulation because the official didn't make the call? Is that fair to Shawinigan? If that call isn't made, and Shawinigan scores in the last minute with the goalie pulled, and then wins in OT, who do you blame then? As an official of other sports, my job is to know, and apply, the rules. By the same token, it is the players responsibility to know those same rules. It's pretty easy for fans to criticize officiating in a game, and blame a loss on it. But the bottom line is that for 2:50 seconds in the OT, the Islanders failed to score before Shawinigan did. I'm not defending Hicks in any way, nor am I a fan of his. I wasn't happy that the call was made, but the rule is there, and it was applied correctly, whether we like it or not. As an official, I give Hicks credit for having the balls to make the call. Whether or not the OHL officials didn't call it the next night is irrelevant. It doesn't affect, or change, the outcome of game 2 here.
The Q doesn't want 2 english teams in the Memorial Cup....that's the conspiracy theory going around here right now. Bullshit....if that were true, they would have just named a Quebec team as the host. I'm sure that the Q wants the best team(s) to represent them, irregardless whether they are from Quebec, NB, NS, or PEI. |

The faceoff had already happened. That's my opinion. |

The sad part is Shawinigan fans will think they genuinely earned the championship should they hold on to win the series. If they end up winning the Cup, they will have earned the championship, that's for sure. You don't win because of a call that goes your way here and there. Every time they had that kind of opportunity, they came out strong and won important battles. And they're doing that after having a really hard season with injuries. They are healthy and peaking at the right moment. |

I'm just bitter. Still hopeful they can come back though. I know the feeling. It sucks, but no you guys are right. To win I think they would've knocked off the #1, 2, and 3 team to get there. That's impressive. I still stand by my opinion that it was a bogus call to make at any point of the finals. There's a lot of things that are technically penalties. Like a high stick by definition is stick contact above the waist, but you never see it called that way. And if it was called in our favour, I wouldn't change my opinion on it. We've benefited from bad calls before that I straight up said was a BS call. |

Only truth proof there is he did cradle bents head in tight Not 15 punches tossed and nothing that clearly hits hicks at all Nor did he spear tackle Bent, as he claims. Right. It's one thing for someone to lie but it's another thing to tell multiple lies to gain attention about stuff that he knows can easily be verified to be false. I'll never understand why some people are like that. Seems like a Trump move. I get that it would have happened so fast and maybe a few things are off, but these are quite the exaggerations. Plus he has access to the same video footage as the rest of us and he stated these things with zero doubt. I think some narcissists come to believe their own lies eventually and create their own sort of Mandela effect. |

Hate to dig up this painful wound... it hurts as much today as it did in June.
Was anybody watching the 1st intermissions of the Oilers-Flames on Saturday night?
The Flames won a faceoff with a gloved puck. Ron was referencing the Cha-Shaw game and showed the video. Mikael Backlund of the Flames won the faceoff this way and Connor was wild looking for a penalty....
Tonight in the NHL... no penalty on the play.

Was a bullshit call, could have been a different series going back 1-1 instead of down 2-0. Still waiting for that donkey hicks to come back. What a clown.
