dirty shot to Rome.
The penalty on Rome looked like a dive too.
You watching a different game?
Nah. But I'm expecting a suspension for McGinn
And you sir, are a moron :biggrin:
It was not even boarding.
Reckless. He deserved the 5 min major. 3-4.
Watch the replay you freaking Canadian :|
Defeat
Gave a great third period push though.
Why do Americans think that calling a Canadian "Canadian" is an insult?
He did deserve the 5, btw.
Reckless. He deserved the 5 min major. 3-4.
Shoulder to shoulder. If anything, they could call it a 2 minute charging penalty.
41.1 Boarding A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards. The severity of the penalty, based upon the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee.
There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a vulnerable position and if so, he must avoid the contact. However, there is also a responsibility on the player with the puck to avoid placing himself in a dangerous and vulnerable position. This balance must be considered by the Referees when applying this rule.
McGinn didn't leave his feet, didn't hit him from behind. Seems like a pretty emotional response from the refs.
And, according to rule 41.1, the Canucks were boarding the Blackhawks all series long but it never got called.
