Quinn Hughes 5 min major Game Misconduct for hit on Josh Norris

[vcanuck]

I am not exaggerating, 5'7 Garland gets hit on the numbers more violently than that 3-4 times a game and not get called.

the nhl wheel of justice should suspend Quinn to because... why not.

I'm not calling a dive, 2 minutes would be fine, he was hit/tapped in the numbers. But considering hits they don't call, that's atrocious. Mind you, I'm watching Toews grab onto sticks, and that's a good hockey play tonight.

Not necessarily a dive, I just get tired on players purposefully putting their backs to a defending player knowing 99% of the time they will draw a penalty. The onus should also be on the other player for leaving themselves in that position knowingly.

Someone is going to get seriously hurt because they leave themselves purposefully in a vulnerable position.

Odd as it is, I think they let that go if it were the d-man playing the puck. The league has a goals mandate.

It’s calls like this that may make one wonder if there is a betting problem among NHL refs.

Why is it a major Elliot.

 

[Canucks LB]

Was Josh back after this?

 

[SI90]

Worthy of a two minute boarding, but since Norris was cut, it’s an automatic major I believe

 

[Golden_Jet]

That’s 2 minutes if the face hits anywhere else but the top of the dasher, and he’s not cut.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It looks like Elliote doesn't know the rules. My understanding of the rule is that it says if a major is imposed and there's an injury, it's an automatic game misconduct.

They could have rescinded the original penalty to a minor.

Came back with about 11/2-2 minutes of the 5 minute left

Weak ass player gets injured after getting bodied by one of the smallest players on the ice.

What are you talking about? Norris isn't hurt.

is blood not an injury?

Exactly, it's like how you get a double minor when drawing blood on a high stick.

 

[Canucks LB]

Came back with about 11/2-2 minutes of the 5 minute left

OK well then there you have it.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, amirite?

 

[Emperoreddy]

This is what happens when your mom is busy watching the siblings instead of you.

 

[swiftwin]

OK well then there you have it.

Players come back from double minor high sticks all the time.

If that tiny push was enough to make him fall, then he probably should be a bit stronger on his skates. It can't be right that you become completely immune just because you're near the boards.

is blood not an injury?

Read the rule. They could (should have) reversed it to a minor after review, then the blood/game misconduct thing becomes irrelevant because it's no longer a major penalty.

41.5 Game Misconduct Penalty - When a major penalty is imposed underthis rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.

The penalty should not have been held up as a major.

 

[Boomstick]

I've seen worse hits not even get called. Wow.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I still think the hit was pretty tame, but if there was an injury 5 mins is pretty automatic.

 

[The Expert]

Seemed like a weak ass call to me.

The panel on HNIC showed that he got hit right as he was trying to pivot and turn. Watch his skates. Just really bad luck/timing.

The penalty should not have held up as a major.

They can’t rescind that one, if he’s not cut injured they could.
