GDT: Stickpuck Gaem #??

[Blueline Bomber]

Also, as great as this win was, and as happy I am for Martin:

The refs absolutely jobbed Ottawa multiple times this game. Svech loosely holding his stick shouldn't have taken off their goal, the slashing call on...Stuzle?...was him slashing the ice, which isn't a rule break, and then the too many men should only have been called if Ottawa possessed the puck while they had 5 guys out there, but they didn't.

For the amount of times we've been screwed by officiating, it'd be poor taste not to also acknowledge it when it benefits us.

They can also call too many men if the extra player effects the play can't they? Even without possession. They jumped off the bench super early (Ottawa player was between the faceoff circles I think on the replay so I think you can argue it should still be a penalty since they were able to get defenders back quicker then they should have.

Yea I've never heard there has to be possession, having someone jump on before the other guy jumps off is a huge advantage and teams would do it constantly if the other team had possession

well....it goes both ways.

Orlov got a penalty on Stutzle that he didn't deserve. Plus, interference on Svetch...plus, etc.

Yeah, Canes got called for it a decade ago in an OT game when Semin jumped off the bench a bit too early to stop an odd man rush. He got called even though he didn't touch the puck

One might have called it premature.

It’s usually up to the referee discretion. As long as there’s a player going off the ice (and there was in Ottawa’s case), most of the time the officials will let it go unless the players that are jumping on touch the puck. That’s why you always see the puck being shot at the benches whenever there’s a car wreck of a line change, because teams try and force that too many men call. It’s also why you see them jumping out of the way of the puck in similar situations.

Congrats to Martin for first career shutout, think he’s earned the chance to back up Kochetkov for the time being.

They called that too many men because the guy changing was 20 feet away from the boards when the guy changing for him jumped to get back on the back check.

They also blew the puck over glass call and there was another too many men penalty they missed where the guy came on the ice and played the puck. They were brutal all game.

It will be so weird to not hear it. I wonder who is going to sponsor the power play now? I’m sure he will come up with something memorable for the new one.

ps..I still cannot get BlueSky vids to post correctly.

Not much to argue about there. Easy TMM call with a Sen very far beyond the 5 foot limit and loafing back to the bench, while his substitute is actively joining the play going the other way. They missed the legal change by like 20-30 feet and had five men out there for quite a long time.

You’re right about the Sens getting hosed on the other two calls.

Edit: also I’m pretty sure the second minor penalty should have been negated after the 5v3 goal. The Pinto penalty is listed at 17:18 and the Aho goal at 19:18. In the NHL rulebook, a goal that comes exactly 2:00 after a penalty is regarded as having taken place after the penalty expired.

I mean not really, it’s one game against a bad team. Hopefully he can keep it up as long as we need him for but his career track record speaks much louder than tonight

I assume his track record is pretty consistent for a #3 though. Most #3s usually spend most of their time in the AHL and are not good enough to hold down a #2 spot.

That’s what he is.
