Comeback ?

 

[BattleBorn]

Well. There we go.

 

[JeffP]

Eichel back. He may be hurt, just not injured- that's hockey

Panthers.. score?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

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.

What did Eichel do? I mean, He initiated contact with the fall.

Anton!!!

 

[dechire]

The comeback begins

 

[SI90]

Eichel back. He also looks like a combination of Will Farrell and John C Reilly lol

 

[HanSolo]

Well so much for the shutout. Martinez giveth and Martinez taketh away.

 

[Vinh]

Comedy of errors by Martinez.

 

[jcs0218]

Panthers score. 4-1 now.

Hope the Panthers can score another very quickly, so the 3rd period has some interest to it.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

The comeback begins

Probably not. But I'm not into literal statistics.

 

[lardneau]

He took more than 2 strides towards Eichel and then body checked him.

I think you’re missing the part after “to”. Tkachuk is not trying to “accelerate through” or “punish” Eichel, but rather hit a player eligible to be checked (puck carrier). His hands are down, leads with the shoulder and keeps his feet on the ice.

As you can see from video, the consequences look devastating because Eichel loses his footing a half second before impact, effectively launching himself into Tkachuk. This forward-launch created the whiplash.

Great to see Eichel on the bench!

 

[KCbus]

Panthers finally catch a break.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Potential outcome for tonight:

 

[hangman005]

VGK score again

 

[Leonardlizard]

Eichel looks like someone lit a fart off his face

It really isn't a big deal, but charging just isn't called how the rule reads. If it were, I'd be with you. I'd be fine if the standard for calling Charging were actually done by the rule book, but the game would be much more sedate and there'd be far fewer hits.

 

[JKG33]

Eichel back. He also looks like a combination of Will Farrell and John C Reilly lol

So that's what they did with all that extra room for activities...

 

[BattleBorn]

Important to not let them score for a while here.

I’ve seen momentum before.

 

[Guttersniped]

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.

Ok. I didn’t understand what you were saying.

 

[HanSolo]

Just about the goofiest goal of these playoffs.

 

[Dowisetrepla]

Vegas acting like it’s still intermission

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I guess it got to that point in CHEL where you just f*** around and scare the goalie and accidentally score on him and since I was the last person to touch the puck I get a goal to put my team down only 7-1, so I quit there because I suck and can't score any other way.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Eichel's revenge!

 

[dhfa]

knights make it 5-1

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Wow so Eichel is back and the Tkachuk thing is irreversible. Good “game management.”
