Well, they did significantly downgrade at coachPanthers go into the third period up 4-1 lose in OT. President Cup winners to missing the playoffs is not a good look
Under .500 now (real .500 that is).Panthers go into the third period up 4-1 lose in OT. President Cup winners to missing the playoffs is not a good look
No injury, no penalty
Yes and the people who say face off wins mean nothing need to watch the Canucks PP. They win the face off and scored THREE power play goals.Vancouver is working the Golden Knights over tonight.
The Blues know Maurice’s system so good they have no problem coming back … I bet the Blues wish Maurice still coached the Jets.Panthers go into the third period up 4-1 lose in OT. President Cup winners to missing the playoffs is not a good look
What’s the point of reviewing the play if they aren’t gonna call the penalty here?
At this point it just seems that the refs make up the rules as they go, there is no continuity in the calls they make and the situation room is no help
So what were they reviewing then? Or was there no review at all? They just whistled it down because a player was hurt, and then had an unfortunate gaffe when announcing that?Again it's one of those weird NHL rules quirks when it comes to review which needs to be addressed.
The linesman can't stop play and report a missed penalty to the referee except in some cases, relevant here is when a player takes a high stick and is cut, then a penalty can be called by the linesman. In this case, the high sticked player wasn't cut, so they can't call the penalty.
They want to avoid linesmen calling penalties, and also avoid video review of all potential penalties.
So the refs were right here, but just like last night where they can't review Hellebuyck's mask coming off, only goalie interference, it's a dumb rule.
