That's playoffs some things get called some don't

Stop whining Canuck fans.

I feel like his feet had barely any impact on that play. Also Hughes needs to stop turning his back to guys at the last second.

 

[Senor Catface]

Could have been a call, but I can see how it was missed in a fast play like that. Refs were no bueno all night either way.

 

[2for1PizzaPastuh]

probably got tired of all his diving tbh

 

[Szechwan]

The clear McDavid stick to his face earlier and the boarding hit on Pettersson were probably worse non-calls.

Not a great game from the refs but that's how she goes sometimes

 

[Zanon]

Surprised somebody like Kane got away with that. Especially after McDavid got away with a double minor on Hughes earlier.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

HAHAHAHAHA, no.

Thats not a slewfoot.

 

[Dust]

I actually think it looks significantly worse because he's awkwardly trying to get out of the way. He had another hit on him in the 1st game where he made it 10x worse by trying to avoid it.

Kane probably gets a fine for that though, does kick the leg forward.

id be surprised if hes fined, he doesnt pull back on the upper body creating a slewfoot.

This is a normal hit, canucks fans are just soft.

 

[nerevarine]

Thought it was a strong hockey play and a bit of embellishment from hughes trying to draw a call, kinda like petersson diving head first into the boards

 

[Despote]

That looked like a clean hockey play to me. Hughes should put some stones in his pockets so he doesn't tumble around so easily.

I just looked up the definition of “grasping at straws” in the dictionary and it was just a link to the OP.

You don't necessarily have to pull back on the upper body for a slewfoot, but I do agree this isn't anything egregious.

 

[2014nyr]

is he going to live?

It's open season on Hughes. Refs just let other teams players do whatever they want to a captain a Norris winner.

Somebody could mcsorely him and refs won't do shit.

Hughes should protect himself better instead of trying to sell calls.

 

[North Cole]

If Hughes just takes the hit and rides it into the boards he's fine. It's his issue trying to dodge contact all the time, Bieksa said as much about him and Pettersson.

Tochett going on about it in his post game. Man needs to give it a rest, every stoppage it seems they pan to him and he's yelling or calling to the refs. Trying to be polticial is one thing, the level of whining he's reaching is different.

Clear puck over glasses and he's animated yelling "for what?". Lmao.

He should just pull a McDavid and flop?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He should just pull a McDavid and flop?

Hes already doing that, thankfully the refs arent falling for that garbage.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

The McDavid high stick non-call was wayyyyyyy worse.

 

[Rafafouille]

Looks like a normal hockey play exaggerated by the awkward slanted position of Hughes.

 

[Spawn]

Would have been a clean hit if Hughes didn't turn his back at the last split second before the hit.

He did it when he got hit by Hyman in the first game too and Canucks fans were all up in arms about it.

Bieksa called them out on it in the 1st period intermission. If you keep turning your back to a hit in the hopes of getting a call you're liable to get hurt.

 

[syz]

If Kane keeps his skate on the ice that play goes the exact same way imo. Stupid of him to lift his foot but like I said I don't see it providing very much leverage in this collision.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

Hughes would draw more calls if he didn't embellish. Refs saw his pathetic dive in game 1 so he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.
