Kings and Hawks evenly matched. Refs overmatched.

Seriously. Brutal.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Not gonna be too mad about the pushing the puck away penalty because the Hawks may have got away with a too many men a couple minutes before that.

But kinda ridiculous they didn't blow the whistle and just letting a guy get whacked and speared after he was pushed/fell on the puck 20 feet away from the goal.

And then call it when he moves it after being told to move it. That's the icing on the cake

They've been really terrible tonight, that call on Seabrook ... yowsa, the "penalty" that lead to the 2nd Carter goal, holy ish it's a whole bunch of stupid out there tonight

 

[UglyStupidAds]

Wow. What a ****ing joke call that was. First you let the guy take all that stick abuse for 10 seconds and then you give him a penalty at the end.

Here's the rule if anyone is curious:

67.2 Minor Penalty – Player - A player shall be permitted to catch the puck out of the air but must immediately place it or knock it down to the ice. If he catches it and skates with it, either to avoid a check or to gain a territorial advantage over his opponent, a minor penalty shall be assessed for “closing his hand on the puckâ€.
Anytime a player places his hand over the puck while it is on the ice in order to conceal it from or prevent an opponent from playing the puck, a minor penalty shall be assessed for “closing his hand on the puckâ€. When this is done in his team’s goal crease area, a penalty shot shall be assessed (67.4) or a goal awarded (67.5).
A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who, while play is in progress, picks up the puck off the ice with his hand.

That is a harsh decision considering how long the puck was under his glove...

Yah they also missed too many men on the hawks, Oduya's hold, and the trip on Clifford

Aside from the ref shenanigans this is fun hockey. Glad to see the Kings mostly alive.

More entertaining than Pens and Caps, definitely.

Even though I love the Pens losing.

 

[Connor McOilers]

Caught a period of the Hawks/Kings game... So that's what actual hockey looks like. Not sure if I'm more impressed, more more depressed at how far off the Oilers really are.

Also, kings fans wha do you think is the main reason you guys have been struggling this season? Looked pretty solid to me, I guess they are never a regular season juggernaught but it still seems weird that they aren't in a playoff spot at the moment.

 

[featherhawk]

Ref did nothing but bait seabrook, i hope q takes a 20K fine in his post game and rips that ref to shreds he deserves it, thst was handled in the worst possible way

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Beauties.

Love seeing TT make a play in a game like this.

 

[bluefan]

Down with the Kings!

 

[Dave is a killer]

There are a metric **** ton of Hawks fans in LA tonight

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Edzo I'm pretty sure the situation with Slava Voynov is not up in the air LITERALLY

There are plenty of opportunities to make calls on legit plays like all the crosschecking, after whistle punches, too many men, holding, etc.

That's why the two calls on Seabrook and Nordstrom are so bad.
Neither were penalties.

I suspect we'll see one more imaginary call give the Kings a PP before the end of this one to even up the calls a bit, especially with the score as it is. They'll ignore all kinds of legit calls and just pick some random nothing play instead.

 

[bluefan]

I guess all officials just don't notice too many men anymore lol.

 

[Dave is a killer]

Chicago has dominated the 3rd

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

This is a clinic by the Hawks.

Still, you can see this is not the same Kings team. Maybe they'll just kick it into another gear at some point and be that frightening team that dominates in the playoffs. But I am starting to doubt it.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Crawford knocked in the head, lol.

 

[Dave is a killer]

That's on Shaw, got to get that puck out

Doesn't matter when Toffoli and Jeff Carter exist.

Yup. Thats a penalty when the hawks hit Quick like that though...

Refs are having a bad game.
