    You know, the away team has to put their stick down on the ice for the faceoffs before the home team. Why are our guys putting their sticks down first, then getting ejected out of the circle? None of this shit makes any sense. Our guys are getting tossed for being in position first?

    Are they protesting something?
    I don't know, they just keep tossing our center out of the faceoff circle, pretty much every other faceoff. It doesn't make any sense to me, nor does it make sense to the commentators. It only ends in more cheating in the circle for the second drop.

    Damn, Boston 4-1 up on Philly. They might sweep as well. Lets hope not.

    But congrats nonetheless, Rollie. We'll see if you can get by Team Yzerman.

    They're probably getting tossed because the wingers are leaving early. If the wingers encroach into the circle before the puck is dropped, the centerman gets tossed.

    A lot of the time it's totally bullshit though, because the ref will flinch with the puck drop, or something along those lines.

    Big win tonight! This series is far from over, but the boys are looking pretty solid right now.

    St. Louis, what a player. Hopefully Yzerman will pull an inside job and send us that dude.

    Well done Pavs. 3-2.

    I don't think that's it, because both teams are encroaching. It has to do with how the players are lining up. Still doesn't make sense.
