Or just laying the groundwork for the big move to come

The refs have been on their side all night so this must feel like a sudden betrayal

I don’t know why they’re mad the Caps are on a PP where it’s more likely to result in a SHG than a PPG

Best part is now the refs will feel bound to give the Ducks a meaty 5 on 3 down the stretch now, to even things up. Maybe a 5 on 2 if they’re not leading at the time

Fans of course are incensed that their team might actually be penalized for being cheating bastards

I get not wanting to go down a goal or two because you were out for blood, but they’ve been tied or ahead the whole game. The NHL is currently a league where you’re gonna have to fight after any big hit, clean or not, so I don’t understand how no one has stepped up for the kid

Dying to head to intermission down one (or more!)

Throwing the game for the Ducks is going so poorly that Paul Devorski is going to come out of retirement so he can tackle as many Caps as it takes to get the desired outcome

Imagine being this is the bag for the non-mighty Ducks. When it was the Kariya and Selanne show and they had the mouse behind them then I could understand. But now? I want to respect the dedication to hating but this is just sad

Kinda brutal for the home team that they’re a pack of shitbugs that the refs are actively trying to help and yet they’re still losing. This is Lance Stroll levels of embarrassing

I want to retroactively remove Teemu Selanne from the franchise record and transplant him into a more respectable franchise, like the Phoenix Coyotes

Imagine being a fan of a team created to promote a kids movie 30 years ago. I would melt my own face off with acid to avoid being recognized

Also yay Protas, but mostly fuck Anaheim with a corkscrew dick
