LA is pretty much guaranteed the 7 or 8 spot and Columbus is Columbus so it doesn’t really matter

Its the display of time being corrected by the timing system. It happens all the time, this is going to be a non story soon.

Uh, guys ? You can literally see Lombardi’s tongue piercing thru his cheek from here……After being ripped off several times by the NHL “war room” in the past few years, Dean was undoubtedly reveling in getting a bad call go his way for once……

Mike, you’re the best writer on PHT. Seriously. You’re funny and know proper sentence structure. Keep it up!

Did you audit the whole period?

Maybe the timekeeper was late on a previous whistle somewhere and there could have been enough time for a Blue Jacket equalizer.

Dean Lombardi just pwned everyone crying foul.
The 3rd period was 20:00 exactly in the end.

Moving on

It’s like the scene at the end of “The Usual Suspects” where the detective drops his coffee mug.

I guess he can use that when the Kings struggle in the playoffs (assuming they make it). “We didn’t factor in enough coulombs to make it happen, and we ran out of time.”

Can we build a soulless cyborg abomination to replace Gary Bettman, too?

It’ll be exactly as evil as the real thing, but it’ll be cooler because it’s a robot.

I’m memorizing this schpill so I can use it next time I’m late for work.

“…see, given the rapidity and volume of electrons that move through the measuring device the calibrator must adjust to…”

Lombardi forgot to explain the biology and physics behind the timekeeper’s finger pushing a button.

The NHL should just install sensors so that timekeepers, goal “judges” and Colin Campbell can be replaced by computers.

you smart guys ever think he just might be blowing smoke? get over it… kings won suck it up big boys

Dude, Lombardi, please stop. Start counting down from 10 with the clock. It doesn’t recalibrate or realign the couloumbs or whatever you just said.

It was stopped for a moment when it shouldn’t have. Take the high road, admit it, state you’re going to ensure this is corrected. Don’t go Bill Nye the Science Guy on us and think you’ve outsmarted us…

You just make yourself look stupid. “amazing devise quite frankly”. stfu

Too bad he cant just come out and say there was an error, especially in such an obvious case such as this. Shame
