Gm #73 - 3/25/14 KINGS @ CAPITALS, 5-4 Shoot-Out WIN !!!

[YP44]

That's awesome.
The refsreally ****ed over Toronto and not us haha

 

[Alternate Jersey]

Gaborik starts every interview with yeah. Even tonight I looked over at my friend and said, "Bet you $5 he starts his answer off with 'yeah'!" Easiest $5 ever.

if you pay attention, bob ALWAYS starts the broadcast with "WELL hi everybody..." probably common knowledge but something i've noticed recently, haha. not to mention that jim always has the same intonation pattern at the end of his sentences.

Oh I forgot, that Williams slashing penalty, super dumb, but how a soft slash on the hands knocks Hillen over is beyond me. I'm not a physics major, but I sat next to one, and he too was befuddled by it.

ugh williams. guy has been taking a lot of offensive zone penalties, maybe they scouted him on it

for what it's worth, both Jim Fox and Daryl Evans had no issue with the non-call on Richards with the empty net

this really bugged me, too, but i seem to remember from the one time recently that we had a goal against awarded for the same reason that bob and jim were talking about the specific wording of that rule. something along the lines of a) the defender has to be fully behind the breaking player (normal penalty shot rule) but also b) something about where the penalty takes place, like they have to already be across the red line or something? i was listening on XM at that point (holy god the caps announcer was SO annoying after they tied it), so i'm not sure where it actually took place, and i'm even less sure about the actual wording of the rule, but i was kinda wondering if that was why. i mean, totally dumb either way, but maybe that's why they had no issue.

glad we got two points out of that, though. what a wild one.

 

[YP44]

I wonder if Zakoff will start for the Pens Thursday.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Can someone post the actual ruling on the Richards interference/hooking play that wasn't called an automatic goal? I initially thought the refs had made the right call, but now, I'm thinking it should have been an automatic goal for Richards.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Bring in Patrik Stefan

This has to be the most RIDICULOUS sequence of play EVER!!! If it didn't happen, I don't think anyone would have believed it would be possible. I don't think even hollywood would have bought this story.



I don't agree with the commentator saying "that doesn't belong in the national hockey league". It happened. It's not as if Stefan deliberately did something wrong. The puck just hit a rough part of the ice and jumped a bit. It's unfortunate for Stefan, but as a fan, I love seeing things like this.

Stoll, when he was actually Stoll and not Stool, actually got an assist on that play.

Ray Ferraro was such an ass there. He almost sounded like he took it personally.

His rant is easily the most unprofessional statement I've ever heard a broadcaster say in any sport.

And it's not like Stephan was showboating shooting from a ways out - he skated the puck close to the net for a tap in, like you're supposed to do. The puck just jumped on bad ice. Like that's never happened before, right Ferraro?!

I don't have the actual ruling but on the flyers broadcast they said he had to have pocession on the puck on the breakaway. Imo he had poked the puck forward and then the infraction occured he truely didnt have pocession of the puck.

Was that Ferraro??? What a little *******! So, is he still the color guy for EDM?

And Boom! Asked and answered. See, the refs did get it right. Kudos to the refs!

 

[Pucknut50]

Management and the coaching staff disagree.

Sutter:

According to the official rule book 57.4 - Even though the player was not directly behind Richards and came from an angle, Richards was still ahead of the defender so by rule should have been awarded a goal.

57.4 Awarded Goal - If, when the opposing goalkeeper has been removed
from the ice, a player in control of the puck in the neutral or attacking
zone is tripped or otherwise fouled with no opposition between him
and the opposing goal, thus preventing a reasonable scoring
opportunity, the Referee shall immediately stop play and award a goal
to the attacking team.

But that's just it, Richards didn't have control of the puck.

 

[tsanuri]

From rule 57.3
“Control of the puck” means the act of propelling the puck with the stick, hand or feet. If while it is being propelled, the puck is touched by another player or his equipment, or hits the goal or goes free, the player shall no longer be considered to be “in control of the puck”

So if they concluded it was from behind based off this he would have been in control of the puck.

IIRC once he sees the replay of the puck jumping he backpedals doesn't he?

 

[FrozenKing18]

Yup. He didn't even have it for a second. He just poked it. Good call IMO.

No, he works for TSN now.
