Hahah, someone fell asleep at the sound board... Rasmussen exchanging a few words with the ref after that icing touch up. "He ####ing grabbed me and blah blah blah puck in the corner". heh heh.

Adam Foote is notorious for grabbing onto another player when a faster player is racing towards the loose puck. Such a damn shame they stop calling obstruction penalties last year.

I said I'd be happy with 4 points on this road trip, and having seen every game on the trip but this one, it seems well deserved. They came out flat against Dallas, as was to be expected, and tied in Anaheim when they probably shouldn't have.

Still, 1 goal in the last 2 games. Yeah, 9 in the last 4, but that still isn't great.

They should've invoked this rule on that play, even if they didn't call a penalty:

If, in the opinion of the Referee, the defending side intentionally abstains from playing the puck promptly when they are in a position to do so, he shall stop the play and order the resulting face-off on the adjacent corner face-off spot nearest the goal of the Team at fault.

Foote definitely skated in a direction that wasn't directly towards the puck so he could obstruct Rasmussen.

Anyone see NHL 2Night after the game? They went thru their plays of the month and other accomplishments...nothing really for the Devs...they ended with Capt Cranium becoming #2 in all time scoring yet nary a peep about Stevens setting a new record for #games played all time by a Defenseman...Stevens record was for #1...that idiot EJ did find time to mention that Langs had tix for the Mia/Dal game at Thanksgiving evening with friends but could not go because Lou called a mandatory team dinner...they sure know how to ignore the positive and accentuate the negative...they suck to the nth degree :rant:
