GDT: [GM19] Canucks vs Sharks | Mon. Nov 20th, 7pm | SNP | Blood in the Water

[Pacific Canuck]

Definitely a penalty, punishment a bit harsh though

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

If Marchand did the same thing the NHL will send him a fruit basket.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Hoglander unfortunately has a reputation for dirty play. Was suspended 5 games for a really bad hit (elbow, iirc?) in the Swedish league before coming over.

 

[Breakers]

Imagine generating so little 5v5 against the sharks at even strength
LOL

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The real question now is

Does Hoglander ever dressed up for the Canucks again

 

[Hammer79]

My wife is so confused. Not necessarily about why it's a match penalty but why that is punished more than punching someone in the face. Her argument is that there's nothing with more intent to injure than punching the head.

A gloved punch doesn't usually lead to a concussion. Throwing someone to the ice could have serious consequences.

 

[Canucker]

I didn’t find Hog’s takedown overtly dirty, it’s a battle but you cant use your leg to take someone down…penalty, sure…match penalty? No way. The worst part of that play was Labanc’s skates come flying upward…always hate seeing that.

scoreboard watching?

 

[bandwagonesque]

Eh, I think that was a reasonable call. I started watching at the beginning of the period and I haven't seen the refs make one wrong decision.

I was busy with a really cute blonde what did I miss lol tune into a shorty)

Always pictured you having brown hair

 

[Tables of Stats]

I have to admit I don't see the big deal with what Hoglander did. They were both stationary and battling and Hoglander just had better positioning and scored the takedown. If they were moving I could see the issue, but if an NHL helmet and pads can't protect you from a fall then they need to be redesigned.

Why wouldn't he? Not like he's Lucic haha.

 

[valkynax]

Old Milwaukee is the drink of choice tonight, saving the Bumbu rum for the weekend

What about an ungloved punch?

Skates also went flying. Did whats his name who cheap shotted whats his names head into a goal post the other day get a match penalty?

 

[moiderer]

Did the broadcast say it's an automatic match penalty for intent to injure calls?

Also, will Drance bring up the "black jerseys get penalized more" again to Tocc in the post-game?

Slam the back of someone’s head against the ice hard and you’ll find out what the difference is

 

[Peen]

I agree with @MS

After seeing the replay, that was a slew foot.

But I do take issue with the NHL's consistency in applying attempt to injure rules

because I don't think hog intentionally did what he did there

but you'll see players take two hand slashes or cross checks to players in vulnerable positions, or intentional headshots etc whatever like really vile shit that can alter a player's career and it's just looked past

but that slew foot is what gets actual in game punishment idk just interesting

He should because one of the things Drance and I agree on is that they are TRASH.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Very reasonable call. Slewfoot + throw down after = intent to injure.

Hoggy’s gotta dial it down a bit but good game from him. I doubt he sees any more discipline though.

I’m more of a Pabst Blue Ribbon myself

The guy in the middle has it, right no intention, just Heat of the Moment
