Nico Sturm with the Camel!!!!

 

[Barrie22]

Sharks taking over early 2nd period.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

One thing I've noticed the Sharks doing lately is not taking penalties. No Penalties this far into the game so far is nice.

Dan with the Lil-juh-gren and it's throwing me off lol

 

[Barrie22]

Dan with the Lil-juh-gren and it's throwing me off lol

Thats because that is how he wants it pronounced

 

[The Nemesis]

Thats because that is how he wants it pronounced

Jumbo should mess with everyone and say that he never corrected anyone for 20 years, but it's actually pronounced "THOW-run-ten"

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Jan Ruutta played a few yaers with Heddy as his d partner, for the most part he can handle a #4 dman spot......

 

[Munnyro]

Nice read by Goose there.

Walman back on the ice. That's good news.

Does a "boarding" call need to be a hit from behind?

No. It is a hit that causes someone to crash into the boards. Usually about 8ft or so out.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

We looked good there. Kunin, Grundstrom, everyone getting hard on the checks.

 

[Munnyro]

Lilypad, per the Leads fan base, is a great skater. It is better than I expected.

 

[Barrie22]

Jumbo should mess with everyone and say that he never corrected anyone for 20 years, but it's actually pronounced "THOW-run-ten"

Kind of sad that because he played in the illiterate and useless media hotbed named Toronto he wasn't able to have his name pronounced right for 8 years as a pro hockey player lol.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Liljegren looks good so far.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Kind of sad that because he played in the illiterate and useless media hotbed named Toronto he wasn't able to have his name pronounced right for 8 years as a pro hockey player lol.

It's obviously Lil-jeh-gren. Do you remember Remenda's Hertl story? Before the 4-goal game, Hertl asked Drew if he could pronounce his name properly. Internally, Remenda rolled his eyes; "do something in the NHL first". That kind of attitude must be 10x in Toronto.

Does a "boarding" call need to be a hit from behind?

No. Any hit into the boards while not up against them can theoretically be boarding. All that's required is that there's space between the player who takes the hit and the boards and the ref determines that the hit was dangerous because it prevented the struck player from protecting themselves before they collide with the boards.

Rule 41 from the NHL rulebook:

A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who
checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that
causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently or
dangerously. The severity of the penalty, based upon the impact with
the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee.
There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the
application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player
applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a defenseless
position and if so, he must avoid or minimize contact. However, in
determining whether such contact could have been avoided, the
circumstances of the check, including whether the opponent put
himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneously
with the check or whether the check was unavoidable can be
considered. This balance must be considered by the Referees when
applying this rule.
Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an
obvious “icing” or “off-side” play which results in that player hitting or
impacting the boards is “boarding” and must be penalized as such. In
other instances where there is no contact with the boards, it should be
treated as “charging.”

Guschin's skating style looks like Makarob..........

 

[SJSharksfan39]

No. Any hit into the boards while not up against them can theoretically be boarding. All that's required is that there's space between the player who takes the hit and the boards and the ref determines that the hit was dangerous because it prevented the struck player from protecting themselves before they collide with the boards.

So I can safely assume a boarding call was missed. These refs aren't calling anything so I'm not surprised.

 

[Alaskanice]

Nice play by Rutta

 

[drunksage]

f***

 

[Mrs Ski]

Ugh!

 

[Barrie22]

Who's bright idea was it to pass it to the front of the net

 

[bluefunnel]

You could just feel that the second Walman passed it back to the front of the net.
