Should have been a penalty but absolutely no refs were even looking at either player or even in that direction.

Can’t call a penalty if they don’t even see it.

I don't like that being an excuse. it's not like an infraction isn't committed because the ref was looking away at the time. Officials should be able to talk it over and get the call right

Couldn't Toronto have called down to the penalty box? I've seen it happen before. (and I don't believe it should have been a penalty)

How do you not believe it was a penalty? His stick objectively hit him in the face and he wasnt in the process of shooting on net.

On what planet is that not a penalty?

 

[Cleetus]

This season has proved that's not true. There has been a penalty called from video review.

first ive heard of that happening weird!

Wilson playing tonight in Caps/Pens game

Garrett Wilson? Is this what you were trying to say?

And if none of them saw it, what would they talk about?

Sorry, should have said that if the refs don't see it, I don't believe it should be called. Call what you see.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

the guy was bleeding and there are replays

Oh okay... yea definitely. It was funny you could actually see every one of their backs turned to those two. CONSPIRACY!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Then you need a rule change to allow video reviews.

umm get a clue, thats only used against the Caps in playoffs. duh!

yes, that was my point

How can they talk it over if no one saw it to begin with? What’s there to talk about?

Are you saying they should open it up to every missed call should be sent to Toronto to watch and make a call then? They would never do that.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

theres this blood thing

You can’t just see blood and call a penalty. That would be asinine.

there are video replays in the arena. why can't the refs take a minute to make sure the call is right?

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Because then how many times in a game can they show reviews where a penalty should have been called?

At that point why even have refs?

That is a slippery slope, but I do think when there is an injury they should take a look.

 

[Portable Mink]

why is it always the reffing against this club is always the worst.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

That is a slippery slope, but I do think when there is an injury they should take a look.

yeah that's fair. I feel like in this case it was pretty cut and dry, and the play was stopped anyway. they might as well have taken a look to get the call right

 

[LegendaryNumber5]

Homeboy needs to shave that pathetic mustache.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Crosby is still aight

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Ref took a good 3 seconds to raise him arm for that call

 

[Mez]

why is it always the reffing against this club is always the worst.

Trust me, its not just your team....Reffing is trash again this year.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

there's no emotion in hockey anymore tho

 

[JerseyMike34]

Wow. Teams that stick up for each other. TB fans would say that isn't needed, just turtle.
