SCF Game 2: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT | TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

Everything stemmed from that hit. He didn’t fight anyone? He pushed a few guys.

If you’re calling 10 on Tkachuk, why not call 10 on the two Golden Knights that went right after him immediately?

They did give 10 to Barbashev.

I’m not saying this is the perfect amount of PIM or something but he got 2+10 for Roughing on Barbashev. And Barbashev also got 2+10.

That’s what happened. Tkachuk wasn’t penalized for the hit.

Bobrovsky back to his choking ways. The Panthers sweeping the conference finals was a mistake. It ruined Bobrovsky's momentum and allowed him to get into his own head.

Another classic Maurice blunder, a real coach would have had Florida throw 2 games minimum so it would be less of a layoff!

Responding to threads on live threads sucks ass.

one million dollars.

Well, I meant for the top part to be a rage post I’d get out and delete before posting, but apparently I lost interest.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Oh no that sucks for Tkachuk..

 

[cliffclaven]

I can only watch the highlights right now. No TV. How is the game flow? Is Vegas dominating as much as the score would suggest?

The misconducts are perfectly fine, but there's no world in which the Panthers shouldn't have ended up with a man advantage after that shit. It's cowardly officiating.

So anyway, this game still isn't over yet. That intermission buzzer felt like the end to me.

Excited to see what kind of shenanigans develop here with Florida trying to get their team fired up and make a statement for next game. Vegas probably riled up and out for blood after their star player got jacked up (clean hit or not).


Either refs are going to have their work cut out for them, or the Panthers are probably toast in the series.

this but unironically

 

[TheBeard]

Tkachuk got a 10 minute misconduct for hitting him too hard.

Ten minutes for “hurty”

I never once said he was penalized for the hit. I’m saying that everything stemmed FROM the hit.

He laid a hard, legal hit, got jumped, pushed a guy or two and he gets 2 for roughing and a 10 despite two guys going right after him.

You said he got 10 for fighting after. He didn’t fight. He did practically nothing. That’s what I’m saying.

The long-suffering Vegas fans might just get to see their team win the Stanley Cup very soon.

Those fans have suffered through a 6 year cup drought. So glad they can end that horrendous streak this year!

I’ll just answer the question.

Yes. Pretty much.

Trying watch hockey on a smartphone is such a terrible experience.

I'd rather just listen on the radio tbh.

This is a silly way to read how charging is called in today's NHL. Charging is almost never called unless there is an upward acceleration or launching into the hit. Tkachuk doesn't do this and instead skates in the same plane driving through the shoulder of Eichel. It's as clean a hit as has ever been landed in the playoffs imo.

To even insinuate it's charging is silly given what counts as charging in the playoffs. Hell, #8 in WSH made a career of charging people with no calls.

So in your unbiased opinion it is so totally not charging that even saying it is ”pretty close” to charging is just not applicable at all?
It kind of looked like a charge to me. Nbd.

 

[HanSolo]

Thank f***. Hope there's nothing lingering

 

[TimeZone]

Eichel on the bench! woah

 

[BattleBorn]

We appreciate your faith in the potential win, and appreciation that Vegas deserves champions and six years feels like a lifetime to us.

We appreciate the consideration. It's been rough round these parts.

 

[William H Bonney]

Great to see Eichel back. Glad to see it was what I thought - he had the wind massively knocked out of him.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Panthers on the board

 

[trilobyte]

There is simply no way that a player is responsible for bad stuff happening. Eichel did a weird thing and put himself in a bad position. It doesn't matter why Eichel did what he did. What matters is that Tkachuk is not in any way liable for that weird occurance.
He went to hit. Eichel fell into him.

And Eichel is okay and back out there.
Good to see he is fine.

 

[Canadienna]

Just need one more goal then Vegas will have the worst lead in hockey.

I agree with the other. Not even close to charging.

Well he was penalized for the hit. Refs did not want Tkachuk to hit the ice again that period. Let's be real, they hid behind some made up call.
