Calling All Conspiracy Theorists

We've got an awesome, hopefully soon to be way overblown, controversy from last night. Undoubtably the only people to care will be those from Buffalo, but hopefully, led by fans of the Leafs, there will erupt a full blown grassroots movement to end preferential treatment of Les Habitants. This whole thing kind of reminds me of the old Lloyd Carr days of Michigan Football. Bush league bullshit.

Here's the situation; Sabres on the PK for exactly the last 2 minutes of the game. Ryan Miller makes a huge save on Mike Cammawhoknowshowtspelltherestofhisname while playing down 6 on 4, and freezes the puck. There's 19 seconds remaining on the clock.

Now let's watch the video. Thanks to Little Miss PuckHead for uploading the NHL on the Fly highlights here this morning for me. Keep your eyes on the clock after the draw. Then watch the hilarious ludicrousness evolve.



One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, ok you get the point. I don't know what chocolate covered ivory tower that clock operator lives on, but my God, I stopwatched 12.2 seconds between the faceoff and when it started ticking again. 12.2 seconds.

So man, what could happen in 12.2 seconds?

Well, I think Ovi just took 4 more shots on net, probably scored twice too. Speaking of scoring, 4 more whores came out in the Tiger Woods scandal in the past 12.2 seconds. Tiger still made $18.1 million during those 12.2 seconds though. The list goes on and on.

But hey, thanks Montreal for letting me link this again.

To the officials credit, whether on ice or upstairs, they did call the game when there was "7.5 seconds" remaining on the clock, much to the consternation of the partisan crowd.
