Post-Game Talk: Sens @ Rangers

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Snes?

Yeah i should fix that, the sens dont deserve to be compared to the best console ever

 

[Siddi]

Low-key awesome that Hank only have to make 20 saves.

Great effort from the defence.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

This is me walking into work after the Rangers win and nobody else in the department watches hockey

So true

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

The play itself is never called anymore. It's what happens after, which is poor reffing.

 

[Ori]

I hope Skjei was not injured on that last block - Henrik, Skjei and Zucc get my votes tonight.

Intentional typo

Snes has 4 words
2 of them are S
4-2 is 2
the number 2 has 3 letters
there are 3 sides to a triangle
Snes is illuminati confirmed

I'll post what I posted on the main boards here:

This play certainly fits the mold of interference, but it is definitely not boarding. There was also no intent, nor was it vicious, and I would argue it wasn't even reckless by Smith. It should have been 2 minutes at most, and if Borowiecki had handled himself properly going for that puck battle then this unfortunate accident doesn't even happen at all.

Borowiecki went in for a battle where he had to good footing at all. The contact happened while both players were still well inside the faceoff circle and the damage was done when he hit the back of his head on the boards beyond the goal line due to his own reckless momentum, poor footing, and willingness to engage.

Hit in faceoff circle:


Borowiecki looking right at Smith and leaning in to hit him as well to fight for the puck:


Borowiecki's completely off-balance footing prior to the hit:


Furthermore, the interference rule specifically mentions hitting a player "with no effort to play the puck." Two players skating into the corner going shoulder to shoulder happens multiple times every single game - and there certainly is not "no effort to play the puck" when the players will be on top of the puck within literally a split second.

Also, I saw one poster talk about how the refs may or are allowed to increase the penalty to the 5 minute major when there is an injury. That is for nearly every single penalty. It is a subjective decision made by the referee. "May" and "allow for" are permissive, and not mandatory - it is a huge difference.

Great post!

Hopefully we can now put this to rest.

Another under-the-radar fantastic game by McDonagh

 

[DanielBrassard]

Good win. Ottawa sucks though

Their GM is such a clown.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Their GM is such a clown.

I will take it for now.

Great post!

Sure, but this is exactly the kind of thing that I like to hear discussion on. NHL made a rule change, kind of important to know about it, in my view.

 

[Leonardo87]

I need to go to more games 3-0 now this season with two shut outs.

 

[aufheben]

Their GM is such a clown.

0 points in 5 games for Duchene?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Their GM is such a clown.

So is their coach and his system.

 

[Embryo]

Good win against a good team, we can play with the big boys on good nights for sure.

 

[Ori]

I`m happy that we did not end up with M. Duchene.

 

[darko]

We the best, again ....... until our next loss.

 

[Ori]

Transition year with a bumpy road @darko
I think we will get a new W streak going - I`m positive.

 

[Siddi]

Sure, but this is exactly the kind of thing that I like to hear discussion on. NHL made a rule change, kind of important to know about it, in my view.

Absolutely, all I meant was that the discussion wether or not both players engaged could be put to rest.

 

[Machinehead]

We the best, again ....... until our next loss.

Losing is one thing, it would just be nice to not do what we did against Columbus. That was soul-crushing.

Unfortunate for Boro there. As I said on the main board, it was a standard puck race, shoulder-to-shoulder thing and Boro didn't want to engage (which he does not have to do). Smith engaged, dumped him, and unfortunately Boro caught the board at a perfect angle to crack his head. Hopefully he's fine.

Good effort tonight. The blocks reminded me of Torts hockey.
