The Big Pecca will have a very short leash, (if he even starts).
Get an early lead and the catfish go back in the compression shorts, or start flying at record numbers. Let's hope the fans keep civilized. No one wants to see a delay of day penalty decide a Cup game.

The entire first paragraph sounds like wishful thinking and betrays your last line to be less sincere. Similar to:

Not that I am one to point out dogmatic devotion to a team or a player...You should be less of a fanatic like me.


Win or lose (hopefully the little Pecca loses) tonight, I don't want the game decided by bad calls from the refs. [disclaimer: not referring to a particular player on the Pittsburgh team]

Along those lines, I like the coach's challenge but it is so ridiculous to have a goal called back because 2 minutes earlier a player was off sides due to their foot being over the line but off the ice. I've said this all season long. Millbury has said as much and proposed that if the foot is on or above the line it should be on side. I wish we could make it so that the challenge should be called immediately like in tennis. If a player wants to challenge a call they stop playing and make the challenge right then and there. If they keep playing then they can't wait to see if they won the point to then challenge. Unfortunately, the NHL won't do that because it would slow the game down even more.
