(To avoid ad ----->)
Haha love the title.
I love the double-entendre when they say "Naturally, Islanders coach Ted Nolan disagreed." Nothing like a bit of subtle mockery...
All he ever does is whine. I was sick of hearing him whine in the Q last year, blaming his misfortunes on the fact that he's of Native descent, like it's some kind of handicap. I know coaches usually defend their team (unless you're Therrien, Babcock or Tortorella) but there's a fine line between a bias and reality. I don't know how he could possibly believe that what would have been the tying goal was actually a goal, in fact there were two reasons why it wasn't. The obvious reason that Miller was pushed into the net (by two Islanders nontheless) and also that when the whistle was blown, no TV angle revealed the puck, clearly meaning that Miller had it covered. What I don't understand is why he's complaining about Numminen's hit. Yeah, it was from behind and he got penalized for it...
In Game 3, he has a point. When watching the replays, logic would tell you that Vanek's goal was in but none of the different angles CLEARLY show that the puck is in the net. I think that was a strange call because I thought you needed to see the puck across the line, which you don't see from any angle. |

I wouldnt consider it whining.... its called standing up for your team.
I agree with Nolan, it was goal.
I've figured it out, the guys gotta play like girls! |

When it's Nolan, it's whining. He's infamous for it and there is NO way that it's a goal, I don't understand how you can say that. |

Witt went in there like a chicken with his head cut off by the way he was pushing Miller into the net.
Always next year!! |

| Leggo said that the goal did not happen because Miller had it covered then got pushed into the net witch is rule 78.5 i think. Miller definately had it covered and Leggo was in the process of blowing his whitstle witch is another rule when the ref is intending to blow his whitsle it's presumed dead. |
