[Skip Bayless]

Reviewing high sticks calls?...what's next?

I had no clue this could be done, but not surprised it's against the habs at the BC.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Wasn't the rule that you are responsible for your own stick? When did we become so weak minded that we allow this type of rule change.

Somehow Trudeau’s soft on crime approach has made it to the NHL.

Lol

 

[The Real Timo]

If Laine scored in OT the place will explode.

 

[Stive Morgan]

That song after a loser point is so wack.

Fire the DJ

[Team_Spirit]

I just read the rule in the NHL rule book and there's nothing in rule 60 that talk about another player lifting your stick. I'm pretty sure our players got penalties in the past on plays like that.

Rule 60 – High-sticking60.1 High-sticking – For “high-sticking the puck”, refer to Rule 80.A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of theopponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible fortheir stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on anopponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow throughof a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing centerwho is bent over during the course of a face-off. A wild swing at abouncing puck would not be considered a normal windup or followthrough and any contact to an opponent above the height of theshoulders shall be penalized accordingly.SECTION 8 – STICK FOULSNATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE OFFICIAL RULES 2021-20229260.2 Minor Penalty - Any contact made by a stick on an opponent abovethe shoulders is prohibited and a minor penalty shall be imposed.60.3 Double-minor Penalty - When a player carries or holds any part ofhis stick above the shoulders and makes contact with his opponent’sneck, face or head so that injury results, in the manner of drawingblood or otherwise, the Referee shall assess a double-minor penalty.Referees making this call shall have the option (but not the obligation)to review video of the play for the purpose of confirming (or not) theiroriginal call on the ice, and, in particular, whether the stick causing theapparent injury was actually the stick of the Player being penalized.Such reviews will be conducted exclusively by the Referee(s) on theice in consultation with other On-Ice Officials, as appropriate, usingthe technology (for example, a handheld tablet or television orcomputer monitor) provided for the Official(s) at ice level. On any suchreview, the only contact between the On-Ice Official(s) and the NHLSituation Room shall be for the sole purpose of ensuring the Refereeis receiving any and all video he may request and that he has accessto all the appropriate replay angles he may need to review the penaltycall. There shall be no other consultation between the Referee and theNHL Situation Room, or with any other non-game participant.60.4 Match Penalty – When, in the opinion of the Referee, a playerattempts to or deliberately injures an opponent while carrying orholding any part of his stick above the shoulders of the opponent, theReferee shall assess a match penalty to the offending player.60.5 Fines and Suspensions - There are no specified fines orsuspensions for high-sticking, however, supplementary discipline can

 

[Schooner Guy]

Get Laine out there

 

[overlords]

lol f*** that, if that's the rule than anytime anybody stick lifts me, he's getting face f***ed with the sherwood. Why not? What a stupid decision.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Roy is scum

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

ok that was a nice drop pass

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

They really sent Dvorak and Matheson

 

[Nashy]

They should just give them VR helmets.

Or let AI ref the games....couldnt be any worse

 

[Stive Morgan]

wth Nick

He loves to do comically long windups like that sometimes for some reason

 

[Canadienna]

Suzuki a little too lackadaisical sometimes.

 

[expy]

Dach sucks. wow

 

[Kimota]

Man Dach is Soft with the puck for a big boy

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

it's shinny out there baby

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Dach...

 

[Le Tricolore]

LOL it just reversed a penalty that should never have been. Relax.

Matheson also had no reason to smash the Isles' players stick into Guhle's face. He's just a stupid player.

 

[Whitesnake]

I think Sekac would be better than Dach.
