How the hell does this happen...

Today as the Dallas Stars came into Nashville, we learned that The Hockey Gods are undoubtably REAL! See, late in the first period the Stars had the Predators down and out, in a frenzy Johnston shot and it was stopped in a tremendous effort from the captain, Josi. Getting behind his goalie and flashing the leather so to speak, he came up with a huge glove stop to keep the puck out. Only problem is he caught it, in the crease and then chucked it back out. That, is a penalty. We saw it just the night before with Wotherspoon getting a penalty, but not here. The Script had been written though and the Hockey Gods wouldn't let it go that easy as we saw one of the most incredible late period comebacks you will ever see. The Dallas Stars would score 2 goals in 13 seconds to not just tie it, but WIN it in regulation. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

[@narius_jaden215]

I'm REALLY not trying to be rude but in what world does that seem illogical to someone when you're down and need all the pressure you can get? ??? Like it's a proven strategy for a reason xD

[@roguishpaladin]

@@narius_jaden215 Because, to the untrained eye, it's unacceptably high risk. It's easy to assume a defender can knock the puck loose dump it down toward the opposing net accurately, thus putting the game out of reach. Of course, we know that it's not true, and that those six players can control the puck very effectively for a short period of time. But this is why it's good to see things from others' perspectives.

After witnessing Forsberg hit iron with 2 minutes left i thought we might have some hope but then i thought we werent gonna do it as it crept past the final 30 seconds. 15 seconds left and CRAIG SMITH THE 4TH LINE GRINDER BURIES THE REBOUND. i was so estatic because he had caught iron all day and finally got one in. then i just hipe dallas could pull off our overtime comeback before i realized Hakanpaa was winding up for a slap shot and i think my neighbors could hear my cheers of joy. How Dallas does these kinds of things is beyond me but i love it and that is why they are my team.

As a Preds fan I’m tired of hearing about this loss, our defense choked when it mattered most. Preds did the same thing to the Avs last month. The entire prefs fan base is still mad at our team right now. 😭

[@WybornD40]

agree, our defense is solid alot of the time but really seems to die out late in the game, that being said- this just felt like pure bad luck the whole time- preds had two almost-goals in the 3rd that were insane, and no one expected that final shot to go in, while we do need to tighten up - we got pretty unlucky throughout the 3rd

[@Saltee323]

Hey, don't trip. We all been there. This happened to Dallas against Anaheim a few years ago in the playoffs. Down two goals with less than two minutes, the Stars allowed both goals then blew it in OT.

[@cookiimunsta]

I understand what you’re saying, but this is the type of game that the league will be talking about all season long. For good reason as well

[@scoopydooder]

It's frustrating, because the only coverage these guys will give us is negative coverage. Interestingly, on Nov 20th, we did the same thing to Colorado, but it doesn't appear that this guy has a video on this. When we do well, the coverage is never "hey this team in the middle of a rebuild/retool is doing surprisingly well" it's always "well the opposing team was having a bad defensive night/bad goalie night". The overall message of this guy's coverage of our win against Edmonton was that Edmonton was doing very poorly. It's the same when Dangle talks about us too. When Parsinnen scored the between the legs goal last year, he put us on his "hat picks" but just had to say "well was it a cool goal, or was it that the defense didn't really do anything".

[@Cheyennemae.A]

@@scoopydooder agree there’s barely any good coverage on the Preds. Although The Hockey Guy did a video on the Preds a few days ago about how good we were doing. Now I feel like his video jinxed us. But whenever anyone else does a video on the Preds it’s always about how the team they’re playing isn’t that good and it was an easy win.

There's no question that catching the puck like that was the right play. A penalty shot is better than a sure goal. It's just that the penalty shot didn't get called, and that's not the players' fault.

With how the rise of "incompetent" officiating seems to coincide directly with the proliferation of sports betting, I wouldn't even be the least bit surprised to learn that refs are betting on games and then using their power on the ice to influence them in their favor. It's not just hockey, either - it seems like the rise or sports betting alongside the rise in flat-out offensively bad officiating has infected just about every major professional sport. I'd say there needs to be an investigation, but the people in charge are probably getting a hefty cut, if they're not engaged in the racket themselves.
