But as usual Vegas come out smelling like a rose. Whitecloud left his feet and delivered a pretty vicious head-shot and the Leafs end up on the pk. Had it been a Golden Knight who threw the Reaves hit on Nurse, Nurse probably would have ended up with the only penalty for delay of game while he was unconscious and bleeding all over the ice. And I say this as someone who is far from a fan of the Buds.
Yeah that was some bs Vegas reffing.
Karma for the idiot Leafs fans who were talking about Nurse.
Yup, agree. A team that has a goon like Reeves on their team with one sole limited function deserves what they get.
Remember them booing the call as Nurse was bleeding out of his head? Then defending the “clean hit” on twitter. Now they are all up in arms. Dumbest fans in sports.
Whether it was a match penalty is, I guess, debatable...but the fact that Vegas ended up with a power play at the end of it all was a ridiculous outcome imo. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but Vegas does seem to get the good of the stick more often than not.
Now I'm picturing Ovie crying in Russian, holding his knee, and screaming "why, why, why?
Funny thing is in life I am about as far away from a conspiracy theorist as can be. The one exception to that rule is the NHL. While I won't go as far as some it seems to me that the NHL has and always has had favorite franchises. Right now Vegas is probably at the top of that list.
We will have to agree to disagree on it being a clean hit. I think he left his feet, and that the primary point of contact was his head, witch makes it an illegal hit imo. I will admit it's not as clear cut as Nurse's hit was though, and not done with malicious intent like the Reaves hit.
He doesn’t leave his feet until after contact.
That’s one of the main reasons o stopped going to ganea. I end up missing a third of the game waiting in lines.
