The Senators just tied the game

Stop getting my hopes up!

Congrats to the Senators on tying the game.

Hopefully the Senators tie up game 7 against the Predators.

Hopefully they make it to the finals so that this topic will continue to be informative to PotDers any time the Senators tie the game.

Lol classless Shittsburgh fans throwing shit on the ice because they're mad the refs correctly called something that wasn't a goal


Going to 2OT now

When a questionable goal/not goal happens, jumbotrons at the game will always show favorable camera views that make the fans at the game think it's a goal and get them riled up, when a different angle would prove without a doubt that it wasn't a goal. This just happened towards the end of OT1. It's happened many many times in other games too. I think the league needs to regulate this is shown on the jumbotron in these situations.
In this game, it caused all the fans to boo for like 2 minutes nonstop (which doesn't matter) for what was a very obvious non goal, and they also threw shit on the ice.

In this situation, the Pens jumbotron showed all the fans the puck crossing the goal line (at the top of the net) and bouncing around, which looked like a goal from that particular angle. That footage looked like it could be a goal but if you watch one of many better angles, it is very clearly not a goal, but the top of the net angle was the only one shown to fans at the game.

here is the play: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/867945355576434688

this is what they put on the jumbotron at the game: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/867946189190082561

also noteworthy, this play wasn't called dead right then, which always happens when a goal was under review. The play was ended well after this moment, and then the jumbotron played the 2nd footage to the fans

Yeah, it was stupid how they only showed that. It is pretty deceptive from that angle but then again if you know how gravity works how could that possibly be on the inside of the net

It's deceptive yes, and if you watch it a few times it's obvious it's not a goal from that angle. But they showed that on the jumbotron at the game a while after the play actually happened, and it's understandable that fans at the game couldn't process it quickly enough and would understandably get jazzed up.

I'm just saying that the only point of showing deceptive footage of a dead play that's clearly not a goal is to incite a riot or something, which shouldn't be allowed.

Sort of in the same vein as Atlanta pumping crowd noise into their games.

The Senators just lost the game

Wow the team that has won before won. Sports continues as it has for generations

It's disappointing, but luckily there's still the NBA Fi--oh right


Oh well, the Cardinals are coming to Coors tomorrow, so we all know what the real big event is

Thank

At least they usually play at a decent hour in Coors. These 9:10 start times are bull crap

Stupid Penguins.

I'm going to play a really long game of Civ 6, wait long enough for Roosevelt to build the city of Pittsburgh, and then nuke it.

I think it's safe to say most of us sports topic dudes care least about basketball, yes?

I'm the president of the football-man baseball haters club, and I like baseball a lot more than basketball.

I like basketball OK. I watch a few playoff games here and there. Basically the same as I do for hockey but I have a rooting interest in that one at least. I didn't watch much football at all last year but i guess I probably stoll keep up with what's going on more than hockey and basketball for now, mainly just to find things to get mad about as it turned out.

I have Cavs-Warriors fatigue, but I could see this series being entertaining. I also could see the Warriors winning it in 4 or 5 games because their team is too OP

It's too bad the NLCS is coming so early this year.

I was just thinking how people I knew were going crazy on social media when the Warriors were just getting good, and I'd hear about them all the time during small chat and sports talk among people I knew. Then they erupted when the Warriors won their championship in 2015. Since then, they've been relatively quiet around here. It's like they got bored, or complacent. Their fandom seems like kind of a fad to the general public, and I still hear more talk about the Lakers than Warriors from the actual NBA fans I know.

I was thinking the same thing, that they should show the angle that showed it was a clear no goal. The announcer on NBC Sports said the same thing.

this topic jinxed it, good job

The Rockies.....are unbeatable

Best team in the NL baby

Well, best record

Matt Cain intentionally walked the 8th spot to pitch to Cardinals legend Jaime Garcia and he hit a 2 run single

Damn, Matt Cain is still around?

I guess he isn't even that old, only a couple months more than Lincecum. The Giants had some great pitchers, but man, they had a short shelf life. Madison Bumgarner will probably be shit in two or three years
---

Jaime isn't the worst hitter. The other day the Cards intentionally walked the 8 spot and Kenta Maeda hit a two run double.

Fuck the Penguins.


Also, the Orioles suck again.




I've never made a post like this before!

The camo hats/lettering that they're using for Memorial Day are so ugly. Why can't they just stick with the hats where the team logo/insignia has stars and stripes? They try to do something a little different each year, but that just makes the designs gaudier and gaudier
---

The Cardinals suck obviously they must have cheated
---

I like the hats

I just found out they "inducted" Homer Simpson into the baseball HoF yesterday as part of an exhibit on "Homer at the Bat"
---

Hell it looks like the Rockies are going to win again. Hell.

Hell yeah the Rockies won again. Hell yeah.

Watch your profanity guys.

I thought the Twins were gonna win then there was a (seemingly, to me) really bad top of the 9th and it's tied now or something.

I've always thought it's kinda interesting what coaches for pro teams have to wear:
Hockey: Suit
Basketball: Suit
Baseball: The actual team uniform
Football: Basically whatever the fuck they want as long as it has the logo somewhere

It's truly insane that MLB managers are forced to dress the way they do.

Agreed. With hockey/basketball, sure the coaches seemingly must wear suits, but you're a high profile person and a lot of times you just have to wear a suit.

Football, there's a lot of flexibility, as long as you're wearing something that looks like you're affiliated with the team.

Baseball is ridiculous.

The most leeway the get in MLB is sometimes they can wear like a jacket or hoodie but they're always wearing the hat and pants bare minimum.

y tho? because you can't run onto that dusty field in a suit or anything else?

Just the way it is. It's dumb. Though I will say wearing a suit for an outdoor event with grass and dirt seems like it would be dumb. I'd go with the NFL approach.

I think all NHL and NFL coaches should wear full pads to show solidarity with the struggle of MLB managers

I guess the MLB thing comes from the days when there were player managers, but even when they still existed, were they really that common?

NFL coaches used to wear suits and fancy hats. Now those hats look better with a My Little Pony graphic tee

Thank you Rockies for the fun historical sports facts and contemporary social commentary

I am watching the Twins game and I told myself at the top of the 8th that when the game is over, I would actually start doing productive things like cleaning. Now it's the bottom of the 13th. Twins will lose, but how many innings will it take?

15
