WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

[soothsayer]

If you all want the official language.

"42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner."

He didn't jump "into" anything.

So you didn't see him literally jump into the hit? Lol you f***ing people.

 

[LTIR]

McSucking tonight.. Bouchard arguably the worst player on ice for either team

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That referee should not have another playoff game after that, there is bad, and then there’s that one

Keep posting garbage.

[Sheppy]

(I probably wouldn’t have called that a penalty though)

 

[PromisedLand]

hey McDavid can you spell "Even Strength Production"

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

“Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice."[1] The infraction may warrant any severity of penalty or combination of penalties as the officials deem fit, including a major plus a game misconduct, or suspension if the infraction results in injury to the opposing player.”

Uhhh what.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Bullshit PP’s always good to kill off

 

[eviohh26]

McDavid may get alot of points but he is half the player Crosby is. He has been pretty bad this series.

 

[Raistlin]

Canucks have free access to middle of the ice this game.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Ryan the Sponge Hopkins

Guy is the biggest leech on the PP but otherwise useless

 

[Bounces R Way]

Great PKing there from Big Zaddy

 

[RedRocking]

Gotta start going high on Pickard

 

[Ezekial]

Let’s see the rule

42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.

 

[trilobyte]

f*** I am hating what NHL officiating has become

 

[Ducks DVM]

Literally in the definition of Charging.

It’s not, though. It says “jumps into”, not “jumps straight upwards while standing still as the other guy skates into you”.

 

[robertocarlos]

What the hell, just kill it.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.

Right call by the ref's by the rule book

 

[KeydGV21]

Pretty sure I've seen this play not called 99 times out of 100 (this being the 1) because the "jump" part of that text is intended to to convey when someone is skating into a hit and jumps.

Most officials suck…

Not sure why them botching the call 99% of the time makes this the wrong call…

 

[NyQuil]

So you didn't see him literally jump into the hit? Lol you f***ing people.

The hit that Foegele initiated?

All of the charging rulebook stuff doesn't talk about the hit receipient.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Strange call but the correct call according to the rule book.

Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.

Strange call but the correct call according to the rule book.

Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.

What about the “correct call according to the rule book” that are missed on the ther side?

 

[Raistlin]

Pickard pulling a silovs here.

 

[Three On Zero]

People posting the charging rule are really struggling to realize how you interpret it

 

[eviohh26]

42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner.

Right call by the ref's by the rule book

He never jumped into anything .

 

[dabeechman]

So you didn't see him literally jump into the hit? Lol you f***ing people.

He jumped up, not not into. You f***king people.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Even though it was a charge by definition, if for some reason it "wasn't", it sure looked like a clear interference penalty.
