Nokelainen and Sauer ejected for fighting during another fight

[TheLowKreider]

That hit was as clean as it can get. (maybe a too many men penalty)

there were 6 men on the ice when he ht him.

 

[Never]

At most that should be TMM against Montreal. Rangers somehow got a 2 min 5 on 3 and now a goal. ********.

 

[68*]

**** you dumb referees.

 

[Nekz]

Pretty sure it's because they were the 2nd fight.

Has that always been the case? I don't recall game misconducts for that. Obviously I'm wrong, but that is just a terrible rule.

 

[LeMAD]

Ouch, those refs are gonna end up in the AHL sooner than later. That was just terrible.

 

[LPHabsFan]

All of the penalties were warranted except for the lack of instigator penalty to Dubinsky.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Blindsiding someone by cutting in front of them while they have the puck? That's just Dubinsky not keeping his head up. It wasn't even a headshot.

Dude. The guy he was coming onto the ice for was nowhere near the bench. Blunden just jumped off in front of Dubinsky way, way, way before the player replacing him was even close. He did it to get the big hit. That was a punk play.

2 minutes was the right call, for sure.

You guys got 2 minutes for too many men and 2 minutes for that punk hit.

 

[Davebo*]

Keep hitting the *******, in spite of the officials...

 

[Theosis]

I find it hilarious that Torterella is sitting there *****ing and moaning about the penalties being called when the Rangers got a 5 on 3

 

[Evil Ted]

Refs just panic thinking that was a headshot or something?


Brutal officiating ruin this game less then 5 min in.

 

[Offdapost*]

man that was absolutely brutal officiating right there

 

[LeMAD]

All of the penalties were warranted except for the lack of instigator penalty to Dubinsky.

intererence on Blunden?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I find it hilarious that Torterella is sitting there *****ing and moaning about the penalties being called when the Rangers got a 5 on 3

He's complaining because we lost one of our top d-men for the rest of the game for no real reason. Neither him or Nok should have been tossed.

 

[shao01]

Reffing at MTL vs NYR game tonight....

is a disgrace... Nokelainen with a clean body check on Dubinsky, Rangers retaliate and somehow end up with a 5 on 3, on which they score a goal.

Should have been 5 on 5 (or 4 on 4)

Pathetic.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Wait, how did NYR NOT get an instigator? WTF? (I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT!)

 

[Hunter Gathers]

intererence on Blunden?

That penalty was warranted. Maybe not interference, but something. You can't just jump onto the ice and level someone way before the guy you are replacing gets anywhere near the bench, man.

 

[CanadaIsHockey]

Habs fan here, I have no problem with any of the calls. The game misconducts were fine as the fight broke out while another was already going on,

Too many men is the right call as we had 6 men on when Blunden made the hit.

Interference call... clean bodycheck to the guy who is in full possession of the puck... I'm baffled.

No rangers get an extra penalty for instigation when the Habs players clearly got jumped.

Mind = Blown

Brutal officiating ruin this game less then 5 min in.

That's exactly what happened.

 

[Never]

2 minutes was the right call, for sure.

You guys got 2 minutes for too many men and 2 minutes for that punk hit.

That perfectly clean hit you mean? Maybe if Dubinsky got hit in the face, you'd have a case (although Dubinsky's face getting re-arranged would only be beneficial to him).

 

[LPHabsFan]

intererence on Blunden?

Being the 6th man on the ice he interfered with the play......

 

[MaxChart]

It was Blunden.


But yeah, refs = the lol.

 

[BlueBlooded]

For the record, I think it's a dumb rule but apparently it does exist:

46.7 Fighting After the Original Altercation - A game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on any player who is assessed a major penalty for fighting after the original altercation has started.

Notwithstanding this rule, at the discretion of the Referee, the automatic game misconduct penalty may be waived for a player or goalkeeper in the altercation if the opposing player was clearly the instigator of the altercation.

 

[Anderson]

you can't just jump onto the ice and drill someone when the player you're jumping on for is still on the other side of the center line. It would have been a clean hit though otherwise.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

Maybe you get the players right (Blunden hit Dubinsky), check the other thread that was already made about it, and THEN post it. Seriously there is a Habs GDT where you can do all the refs *****ing and whining, no need to make it redundant here.

 

[TheLowKreider]

there were 6 people on the ice. blunden was the 6th man and one who hit dubinsky. i don't know what the rule is if the extra man hits somebody but it definitely should have been a PP for the rangers for too many men.
