The challenge that changed the series?
Head coach of the Las Vegas Golden Knights John Tortarella, has no regrets when it comes to challenging the play that ultimatley led to the Carolina Hurricaines getting a late-game go-ahead power play goal.
In his post game media availability, Tortarella said, "I saw a loose puck in front of Freddy, our player stabbded it, didnt move the goalie, and it goes in through the other side, I challenge that 10/10 times."
The Hurricaines powerplay that ranked fourth best in the NHL thorughout the regular season at a near 25% success rate, has really not been able to click throughout the post season. Going into game two, Carolinas powerplay ranked 12th amongst the 16 playoff teams, and went 0-2 in game one of the Final.
Game two was tied at two with just over five minutes remaining in the third period, Carolina had fought back with two unanswered goals to even it up.
The Knights thought they scored to go up one, but the call on the ice was no goal. We have seen countless times in the regular and postseason, just how much evidence these refs need to overturn a goal or no goal called on the ice.
Tortarella, knowing the risk that comes with losing a challenge, challenged the no goal call on the ice. After a quick review the call was confirmed and not a good goal, as a Carolina power play ensued.
Coach Tortarella clearly trusted his peanlty kill, and had seen enough from the Hurricaines powerplay to risk sending them on the man advantage with the potential to take a late lead this late into the game.
Jordan Staall tipped in a Shane Gostisbehere point shot as the Canes rallied back with three unanswered third period goals for a 3-2 lead.
Mark Stone would tie the game with under a minute left to force overtime as the Knights captain continued his great start to the final.
In the overtime period, Tomas Hertl took a tripping penalty, and Seth Jarvis won it for Carolina, 4-3, on another power play goal.
The challenge by Tortarella and the power play goal that followed, might have been the spark that the Canes power play needed the entire post seaason.
We will know in the upcoming days just how impactful this Tortarella challenege truly was on the series.
After going two-for-four in game two on the power play, can Carolina find what they had in their man advantage throughout the regular season?
With the series knotted at one, game three is back in Vegas on Saturday night.
A discussion of learning from gardens and growing spaces seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. Returning to the same growing space can reveal changes that are easy to miss during a single visit. That practical perspective helps me frame gardening observation ideas as a theme for Givingtreegardenmarket. A simple comparison would help me picture the differences without rushing towards a fixed answer. What would you record to make those changes easier to compare?
Considering reading health information with clearer questions, I would want to understand a few concrete details before deciding what matters most. An explanation is easier to assess when it separates what is known from what still needs investigation. For Burunestetikbursa, I would use health information literacy as a starting point for a closer discussion of the subject. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. What would help a reader recognise the limits of a general health statement?
A discussion of communicating ideas to the right audience seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. A clear explanation of a practical benefit can be more useful than a string of enthusiastic claims. The name Blueskiesmktg gives this theme a memorable reference point, while digital marketing ideas keeps the subject in focus. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What would make a short message feel relevant rather than intrusive?
The theme of choosing a comfortable place for a short stay makes me curious about what people notice in their own everyday experiences. The rhythm of a stay depends on practical details as well as the view. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Batchcottage and short break accommodation. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What would you want to know before choosing an unfamiliar place to stay?
The name Smyk makes me think of young children and the curiosity that appears in ordinary play. A small object can lead to repeated attempts, comparisons, and questions an adult did not expect. That is the connection I see with Smyk childhood play. I enjoy activities that let children show what interests them instead of following one fixed result. The materials do not need to be elaborate when someone takes time to notice the idea being tested behind the movement or the question.
