[Matt Rentfree]

Uh oh. I hope Kane is ok.

 

[chosen]

Listen, old-timer. Bridge will be played in a few minutes.

Don't much care about the opinions coming from the type that thinks Justin Bieber an entertainer for the ages.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Oh, damn. Came up on the follow-through on the clear.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Also, someone has had to make a Skjei Stadium joke by now, right?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Too much strain for me to see who is who until closeups. I'm just listening for now.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Oh man ouch. They missed a 4 min penalty there.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Don't much care about the opinions coming from the type that thinks Justin Bieber an entertainer for the ages.

What?

 

[Crease]

Okay Kane, get up buddy. It's a cut.

 

[trilobyte]

Call me old school, but you just don't see enough hits like Holden just crushed that guy.

I liked it too.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Dodged a bullet there.

 

[yrrebbor]

Definitely a 4 minute penalty right there.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Wow, got away with one.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Okay Kane, get up buddy. It's a cut.

Hit him right on the bridge of the nose. That hurts like a MFer.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Wow, got away with one.

I assume the ref thought he touched the puck.

 

[Crease]

Hit him right on the bridge of the nose. That hurts like a MFer.

I hope he puts a fishbowl on and gets mercilessly chirped.

 

[Kane One]

I assume the ref thought he touched the puck.

It doesn't matter if he touched the puck. I believe bouncing pucks is an exception to the follow-through rule.

 

[Loff]

Wow, got away with one.

For the first time in history. Bettman's fuming right now.

 

[Irishguy42]

Guys. We didn't "get away with one"

It was on the follow-through. Those are not penalties, going by the books.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Also, someone has had to make a Skjei Stadium joke by now, right?

Just about 10 years too late

 

[NJ07102]

Makes you wonder why they even have referees on the ice if they don't see anything. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

 

[Trxjw]

Camera angle is growing on me now that the camera operator seems to have a feel for the game. I think the constant jumping around was really throwing me off earlier.

 

[SA16]

Guys. We didn't "get away with one"

It was on the follow-through. Those are not penalties, going by the books.

Only on a shot...

 

[Kane One]

Guys. We didn't "get away with one"

It was on the follow-through. Those are not penalties, going by the books.

It is a penalty.

A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height
of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off. A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal
windup or follow through and any contact to an opponent above the
height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It doesn't matter if he touched the puck. I believe bouncing pucks is an exception to the follow-through rule.

It is, but most refs give a ton of leniency with that since it's a stupid differentiation.

 

[Holocene]

It helps that the shade is almost completely covering the Buffalo zone now.

 

[DanielBrassard]

That VDB line is something eh.
