WCF - (1) Vancouver Canucks vs (2) San Jose Sharks Series Thread

[BlueandWhiteForever]

I just watched it again... it was TWO steps.
shoulder on a guy with the puck, didn't leave his feet.


8 minutes shorthanded in that period, versus none for you.
utter fucking bullshit. are the Canucks a goon squad? not even close.

Technically it was only 6 minutes. Raffi's call starts fresh in the second

If that was two steps then Torres has the fastest two steps in hockey. Did you see how quick he came in? I don't have it recording so I'll have to take a look at it later before I can debate it with you. But until I see it I have a really hard time buying that.

2 strides, 5 strides. Bad call, good call. Doesn't matter now. Gotta kill this penalty!

I think a couple other factors played into the penalties in that period too. Glass was chirping with the ref at the start when he should have kept his mouth shut so the refs were just looking for a reason, ya know. Also Torres will never get the benefit of doubt on a call like that based on reputation.

they were two good steps, but it was two.
connected as foot landed on the 3rd, so maybe 2 1/2 (ie. skate was down on 3rd step, but there wasn't a push off with that foot.... I hope that makes sense).

I'd be interested in your opinion after it shows up on youtube, or in the highlights, etc.

My last comment on the play after running it back in slow motion THREE times. Torres was gliding and took TWO strides before contact.

Oh well. Like Puckhead said the Canucks gotta kill it off.

I don't want to be a stickler but I looked up the charging rule and it says nothing about a number of strides. It only mentions distance and violence of the hit. I can paste it here if you want.

And yes, I do think it was charging. If you disagree with the refs discretion, then we agree to disagree.

 

[puckhead]

FIVE in a row.



fuck right off.

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Sorry Sharks fans but this is bordering on ridiculous now.

 

[naslundfan19]

Star iso cam? Hard to do it when the Sedins are on the bench.

 

[Slimpikins]

Maybe they should tighten up their game and stop putting themselves in a position to take these penalties?

I think the last one was a little weak.

Good or bad calls San Jose is letting a huge opportunity pass them by. It may bite them in the ass.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

The Sharks not scoring on these PP's is going to bite them sooner or later.

Rule 42 - Charging

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

Charging shall mean the actions of a player 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.

A minor, major or a major and a game misconduct shall be imposed on a player who charges a goalkeeper while the goalkeeper is within his goal crease.

A goalkeeper is not “fair game” just because he is outside the goal crease area. The appropriate penalty should be assessed in every case where an opposing player makes unnecessary contact with a goalkeeper. However, incidental contact, at the discretion of the Referee, will be permitted when the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.

42.2 Minor Penalty - The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a minor penalty, based on the degree of violence of the check, to a player guilty of charging an opponent.

42.3 Major Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the check, to a player guilty of charging an opponent (see 42.5).

42.4 Match Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a match penalty if, in his judgment, the player attempted to or deliberately injured his opponent by charging.

42.5 Game Misconduct Penalty - When a major penalty is imposed under this rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.

42.6 Fines and Suspensions – When a major penalty and a game misconduct is assessed for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, an automatic fine of one hundred dollars ($100) shall be imposed.

If deemed appropriate, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).

$100 fine, lol

Agreed

 

[Tacoma_canuck]

That last call was pathetic. Now you know there will be bad "make-up" calls on the Sharks and this will turn into a shitty game again.

 

[puckhead]

OK. terrific PK.... gotta build on this now.

and san jose is embellishing like there's no tomorrow now.
can't blame them, but this should shut up the fans who are getting on Nucks for doing it


Ballard hip check!!!

 

[Tacoma_canuck]

The Canucks PK has been really good but damn, this is getting silly.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Looks like there's quite a few Canucks fans in attendance

GO NUCKS!
