was this a blatant hook? led to dallas’ tying goal

[hirawl]

Botched sell job by Johnson.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Not a hook, he grabs the Dallas players stick and falls on it. Not sure why.

To me it looks like he's focusing on grabbing the Dallas stick and when he misses it he loses his balance.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Most blatant? No.

 

[Dynamite Time]

You can see where Harley uses both of his hands to pull his stick loose; was it held by Johnson or a hook that caught equipment and was a hook the refs didn’t see?

Not a blatant missed call, not sure myself though after watching the replay numerous times.

 

[10 Ply Labradoodle]

Certainly not a hook. Looked like a hold that spun the Cbus player, but rather than continuing to play his position he tried to embellish for a call.

I'm more interested in the goalie having two sticks and tossing the player's stick aside. By the rulebook, I think the way he tossed it should be called as an automatic minor (if Dallas doesn't score on the play).

 

[Spawn]

Looks like a situation where the ref either called both or called neither and he decided neither.

CBJ player looks like he clamps down on the stick to try and get a call and gets burned by it.

 

[ijuka]

Definitely not a hook.

If anything, holding with the left hand.

I might have called one for holding, other for embellishment.

 

[Mulletman]

No. It was the right call by the refs. Plus Dallas needed this win way more than Columbus did...

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Not a hook. Slight hold with the left hand. The CBJ player grabbed the stick and dove. Would have been a weak call on the hold, so no issue with how it played out.

 

[Toby91ca]

I don’t even think it was a hook at all…perhaps you could call and even up penalty there…he put the stick there with one hand, so you can always call a guy for putting the stick there , but the defending player, at a minimum should be called for embellishment, but it is closer to a flat out dive in my mind…stick is there, grab it and fall down to the ice while holding tight to stick…clear as day. I’m fine with the no call at all here though

 

[oconnor9sean]

Weve gotten reffed this whole game. It happens. Thoroughly not impressed with Dallas. They've needed a ton of help.

Someone call the wambulance

Someone call the wambulance

The refs felt bad about the basketball trade.

Someone call the wambulance

wouldn't be a hockey game in Dallas without Evason leaving the rink crying about the refs. I look forward to his team missing the postseason

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Looks like the defender grabs the stick and falls to buy a call as much as it was a hook.

 

[nturn06]

It depends. If it is the first period or if it is a blowup it is definitely a penalty. If it is in the third period of the closed game it is definitely not.... As per the rulebook

 

[Anglesmith]

He definitely clamps the stick and takes the theatrical route when he's already lost his position, but at the same time NHL referees usually don't care and call the hook anyway about 90% of the time.

It looks like there is an initial tug that spins his hips and that should have been enough to be a call. Dallas should not be able to take possession in this way, in my opinion.

I look forward to Dallas' always the bridesmaid never the bride syndrome then!
