Do the Panthers actually get away with everything?

[pb1300]

Not to mention Draisaitl blatantly elbowed Barkov, took him out for the rest of that game, plus another, and no suspension or even fine

After that, the clowns were storming on here, saying he purposely missed the rest of a 2-1 game in Gm 2 of the SCFs, so he can get Draisaitl suspended, and came back for Gm 3 perfectly fine.

Booooohooooo the Panthers are mean.

Is keeping calls even a hockey only thing? I don't see that in the NFL. Also, is it a newer thing? I seem to remember >10 years ago people always complaining when calls weren't even and now they are.

Kerry Fraser, ref from 1973-2010, used to have a column on TSN. Most of his articles revolved around game management and how he controlled the game. Confirmed WWE on ice pretty much. Still love the game, but I'm never going to put money on it.

Looks like Tampa passed the torch to Florida in more than one way.

 

[CanadienShark]

Yes and no. It seems like a lot of teams at the peak of their success (Florida, Boston, LA, St Louis) get away with a ton. I think it's because they make so many infractions that the refs try to manage the game and only call some infractions.

They're still a very good team and deserve their accolades. They just know how to "game the system".

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Disgusting goaltender interference!


Take 2 goals away from Edmonton for this one.

 

[ijuka]

They're a big subscriber to the "they can't call everything" philosophy. Which means they have a good read on NHL officiating because those dickheads don't even call half of it.

Yeah. Either you play super clean, or you make 500 infractions because only like half a dozen will get called.

That's because of this stupid NHL officiating where they don't just call penalties as they happen but they have rationale like "well I can't call 20 penalties against the same team in one period" yes you can, call by the rulebook or change the rules.

That clip is pretty self explanatory. Bumps right into to goalie, rips his stick out of his hand, comes back around the net from behind and crosschecks the goalie…

wtf are you watching? Yes, he bumped into the goalie but the goalie speared him in the mid section of course the stick is gonna come along

 

[teugen]

Chucky didnt waste any time to make people maaaad after his return, lol.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I have no idea why goalie interference isn't called more often... you don't need to wait for the play to develop and for a goal to be under review.

From the current rulebook:

69.2 Penalty - In all cases in which an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, whether or not the goalkeeper is inside or outside the goal crease, and whether or not a goal is scored, the attacking player will receive a penalty (minor or major, as the Referee deems appropriate). In all cases where the infraction being imposed is to the attacking player for hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely in his goal crease, the penalty to be assessed is for goalkeeper interference.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Remember the Leafs and their days of truculence? They ingrained the modern notion that the refs wouldn't call everything so crank up the dirty play. The Leafs just never were that successful with it due to never having a contending team.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I want to see Patrick Roy's reaction.

I want to see Patrick Roy give Tkachuk and the refs a good ol' beating in the parking lot for that.

“Rips goalies stick out of hand...”. Goalie jabs his stick at Tkachuk, Tkachuk skating past causes stick to “hook” him and the goalie let’s his stick go.
At least be accurate while you are bitching.

Please don't compare the NHL refs to literally the worst refs in professional sports for any reason. I would say that the WWE or whatever it's called now has more unbiased fare referee-ing than the NFL.

I won a boatload off my bet, so I'm just gonna let the "Stanley Cup Winner" play playoff hockey.

At least know the rules when you complain about others complaining, lol.

If you intentionally interfere with a goalie, anywhere, it's 2 minutes. Thankfully the officials can't read so basically every team can get away with it.

 

[Over the volcano]

There's plenty of guys on FLA that play a clean game, Tkachuk is just different. Love the clip through, looked like 3 minor penalties (maybe 4 if you count his swipes after the goal) and a goal waived off for interference.

 

[Score08]

**see Collin Campbell**

 

[John Mandalorian]

No, but they would have if not for those meddling refs.

Intentional Scooby Doo reference?

I’m talking specifically about the part where he was saying Tkachuk ripped the stick out of goalie’s hand.
Which didn’t happen....

It’s either matching minors, or you just let them play.

Yeah, how dare we follow the rulebook lol.

Could’ve easily called Tkachuk for bumping into the goalie. But let’s just overlook what the goalie did with his stick as Tkachuk skated past as we’re preaching about following the rule book. Matching minors before Tkachuk ever came back out in front of the net.

I figured it would have been a column about how to maintain perfect weeble hair while skating around for hours

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Love how florida plays

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

It's human nature to be more hesitant at penalizing those who are successful, in this case the Stanley cup champions.

 

[Takeahnase]

I just don’t get why teams let some of that shit go. Even in the playoffs I remember Hextall chopping Ranger player calves for having the temerity to back into his crease / make contact with him like he was chopping down a tree.

Like it was funny when Kreider threw that idiot’s mouthpiece into the stands, but he really should have stuck it up his nose and left him crumpled.
