GDT: December 29th - Canucks @ Flames [5:30pm - Sportsnet West]

[Lunatik]

That was not elbowing. Bad call.

 

[DCDM]

Did that look like a bit of a dive/embellishment to anyone else?

I wouldn't say so, but a game misconduct for that seems a bit excessive. I didn't think it was an elbow at all.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Were so dangerous short-handed this year, its crazy.

No that was not a dive, even suggesting it is ludicrous

I dunno, look at how he drops after Gratz peels away, just doesn't look natural imo. Glad Alberts is okay though I guess.

 

[Taranis]

So.. this started well.

 

[Gritty]

Wow, Alberts really drew that 5minutes lying on the ice like he's dead!

Walks off on his own feet no problem after the call. I don't think it's a dive, but I don't think he was as hurt as he makes out.. just my opinion.. Hope he's ok.

 

[Lunatik]

Excellent work on the PK so far by the boys. Wow.

Not a dive at all, but staying down ensures a penalty. It's the Canucks MO.

 

[WhereIsIt]

That was not an elbow, awful call. Looks like Alberts hit his head on the glass.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Stemps and Stajan

 

[DCDM]

Berra looks super shaky tonight. I don't like it at all.

 

[Anglesmith]

In case you Calgary guys thought you had it bad having to watch that hit get called a 5-minute major, I had to deal with listening to the SNET-P commentators say in a matter-of-fact tone that McGrattan's elbow direction targeted the head.

 

[TheHudlinator]

To be honest it seems to be his MO. He looks better as he goes I find.

 

[WhereIsIt]

You dont think him lying on the ice was an embellishment? Okay then... I would say its you who is ludicrous.

You take a hit from McGrattan... I'll hang out with a stop watch and see how long it takes for you to get up.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Yeah ive noticed that as well. Except at the end of the 3rd, seemingly.

 

[NoPainNoFlame]

Looked like he landed on his feet and decided to drop after. No elbow and I'll bet a loonie theres no serious injury.

 

[Taranis]

Great job on the PK by the boys.

Won't be a suspension either.

He was clearly out on his feet. He laid there because he was unconscious. Some Canucks may dive and lay on the ice, but Alberts isn't one of them.

 

[InfinityIggy]

No it won't. I doubt we hear anything more than Gratz opinion on the hit.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

We've had some huge kills this year. You'd think it would be better than 17th in the league, but some nights it's been so, so bad.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Interesting theory.

He's still in the game isn't he?

 

[Lunatik]

Interesting theory.

guys don't fall face first into the ice when they are conscious, it's a natural human reaction to try and break the fall with your hands
