How is it the right call since this call is never ever made?

It is, selon Marc Denis.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Good first period other than the weak goal allowed by Condon and the 5 minutes major by Emelin.

 

[SB164]

Subban's gonna end up playing like 32 mins tonight.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

the call was harsh, but that was still a really, REALLY dumb play

Emelin didn't go out of his way to hit him. He sorta glided toward him and **** happened. It was a nothing play. I get the 2 min for interference but... that's it.

 

[GREMLIN]

Brutal call

 

[Treb]

Glad to hear that you attend Gatineau Olympiques' games.
BTW, don't be so hard on yourself.

Well, you asked him last year if he knew Claude Giroux. Any hockey fan would look at you dumbfounded at how you could ask who is Claude Giroux.

I may have personally asked to go **** yourself for still being stuck on mistakes 9 1/2 years ago.

 

[FF de Mars]

Bench Emelin and bring up Tinordi next game!

 

[LaP]

Well, looking at the play he hits the guy and he's nowhere near the puck so...

That's a 2 no doubt. But let's not pretend that's the first time a player is hit without the puck being close. Never seen it called a 5 unless the head is the contact or there's a charge.

 

[LaP]

It is, selon Marc Denis.

Then it would be great if the ref would always call it.

 

[Adamcrazy3]

The hit would've been clean if he had the puck.. pass was deflected and Emelin had already started moving in for the hit.. should have been a 2

 

[deandebean]

Thrown out of the game for that? Yikes.

As for Condon, you guys are going to have to get used to him allowing weak goals. We have to remember that he's still just a rookie. It's up to the rest of the players to step up and help him out.

Or find a new goalie. ;-)

 

[sukimono]

It is, selon Marc Denis.

Well Marc Denis can blow me !

 

[sheed36]

It's the aftermath that probably gave Emelin the extra 5 and game.

Probably yeah but I still don't think that deserved a 5 and a game. A 2 minute interference penalty yes but not 5 and a game. BS call IMO.

 

[windycity]

Penalty clearly but no way is it 5 minutes. Still a dumb play

 

[JLP]

It's the aftermath that probably gave Emelin the extra 5 and game.

Torts called the penalty

 

[sampollock]

Chantal keeping the desk alive

 

[Cole Caulifield]

It is, selon Marc Denis.

Yeah when is the last time you have ever seen Marc Denis not agree with any call being made on the ice ? It's the rarest thing.. it really has to be obvious that the ref ****ed up for Marc Denis to call it, and even then only from "le bout des lèvres". I wouldn't use that as proof of anything.

 

[President XD]

I bet the misconduct will be rescinded.

 

[TT1]

lol what a ******** 5 min game misconduct call, it should have been 2 mins for interference at max but Calvert sold it by staying on the ice and faking an injury.

 

[malton]

2min for interference. that's it

 

[Davebo*]

Wildly inconsistent officiating is killing this sport - the league needs to address that part of the game, because it's substandard.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, it had been a good game by the Habs. In fact, they looked like they were about to dominate.

Then they **** up a face-off in their own zone and Emelin takes a 5 minute penalty.

Only good thing is the penalty is split by the intermission.

 

[Hoople]

the call was harsh, but that was still a really, REALLY dumb play

Every penalty can be called "dumb". From tripping to cross-checking to interference.

This was a pathetic call. He should be 2 mins and out of the box, not 5 and out of the game.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Its interference. Thats it. Five minutes for being winded.

Nhl will probably follow it up witn a suspension knowing them

 

[sampollock]

Torts called the penalty

Yet torts guy crossed checked sid hypocrite
