Must have been people from Surrey who were there just waiting for this hit.Clean hit, shame on the morons chanting Miller's name while the guy was laying on the ice without much motion
It was a loose puck and each one was going after it, Rooney was off-balanced which caused most of the problems. However, JT falling on top of him made it worse. Kevin was in awful shape, so I wish him the best.Rooney never has the puck
Half the building couldn't see the player down on the ice. They had no idea he was thereClean hit, shame on the morons chanting Miller's name while the guy was laying on the ice without much motion
At live speed you can count it out.
Rooney touches it at the start of the video, the hit is as it becomes 2 seconds:
That’s just MillerNo talk on the fact that Miller pushed a ref down onto the ice?
Why does the league suck tho? No penalty on the playGorgeous hit. This league sucks.
Why is no one talking about it?touching a referee is still a no no.
defensive much?Why is no one talking about it?
Yes, meaning that the delay is somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds (it could in theory be 1.99 seconds given what you have described). I am referring to the embedded video time. Contact is very close to it ticking to 2 seconds. I'd say the actual delay is something like 1.8 seconds.
On the game clock something like 12:26.9 to 12:25.1 makes sense with this.
wait are you twisting his words ?You said it was 2 seconds because you "counted it out".
It's impossible to be two seconds.
Then you claimed it's between 1 and 2 seconds, but it could also be less than 1 second.
To me, it appears around one second.
One second between a puck touch and a hit is not uncommon. Say whatever else about the hit, but going after it for being late is silly.

3-4 game suspension, in my opinion. Canucks fans in the arena are complete scum.
Not even closeReminds me of the play when Steve Moore hit Marcus Naslund which led to the Bertuzzi incident

The argument for Miller is he throws it near Rooney and then acts as if Rooney has the puck, but Rooney doesn't really move to possess the puck before being blasted.
Ultimately the interference penalty is to protect players from being hit when they (reasonably) aren't expecting to be hit, and this is exactly that. I guess the question is whether this should be a valid strategy as a puck carrier when a defender is skating towards you.
