Smith's wasn't the second altercation because the Pen didn't get tossed. 32's fight was the "secondary altercation" based on who got tossed. I'm the last one to question officials, but some of these decisions are mind boggling. Seems like misconduct are handed out based on the player not the actual offense sometimes. The penalty Hofer just got is another example of a headscratcher. At least we've got goals tonight!I don't agree with it, but the secondary altercation rule has been around for a while now. Brawl deterrent I guess.
“One ping only Vasily”…
Video of the brawl. Just absolute chaos there. I can’t believe Ness got an extra misconduct for abuse of officials. They just let that altercation escalate
I’m assuming it was due to the extra punch/punches he threw while Renouf was on the ice. That’s the only thing that makes sense there.A team of ECHLers just took out the Baby Pens. Love to see it, even if they made it way too interesting again
ETA And they were down two forwards for 2/3 of the game too. You are indeed correct @swansonsays ... aggressor game misconduct on Smith? BS.
I don't think that's right. It's only a high stick if it hits the stick and goes in. if he had his stick up but it hits off his arm, then it's a good goal. I didn’t see the game/play but I'm pretty sure that's the rule.Doesn’t matter what it hit. He had his stick level to his visor, and it went off his stick/arms while at that level.
That was not a goal.
You may be right. I thought anything above the cross bar was a no no.I don't think that's right. It's only a high stick if it hits the stick and goes in. if he had his stick up but it hits off his arm, then it's a good goal. I didn’t see the game/play but I'm pretty sure that's the rule.
Stick only. If you're 10 feet tall and it hits your helmet and somehow deflects down and into the net, it's a goal.You may be right. I thought anything above the cross bar was a no no.
Alrighty then. Learn something new every day!Stick only. If you're 10 feet tall and it hits your helmet and somehow deflects down and into the net, it's a goal.
To me, that seems pretty clear. It does not matter that the puck hit his arm after the contact.When an attacking player causes the puck to enter the opponent's goal by contacting the puck above the height of the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the goal shall not be allowed.
Alrighty then. Learn something new every day!
