TrueBlueGED Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I actually don't think so. On the replay you can see the stick rides up his stick, and then never actually touches his face. I paid zero attention to the replay so I'll say you're right while agreeing with D4rk that his stick was totally out of control, so meh.

Radar Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Regardless they have played pretty stupid after they get a five minute penalty called on Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Fair enough. It's just that I don't believe that by the rule book, a call should have been made. The Kane one was a good call, for sure. Didn't like the first two calls, nor the 5 minute major, to be honest, should have been a minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It is the point though, cause by the rule book it wasn't a penalty. There isn't a penalty for having your stick in the air, and NOT making contact with the opposing player. You don't know how the rules work. Selling calls is part of the game. Don't wave your stick around like an idiot so the refs feel inclined to penalize you. It's not difficult. Marcus needed to make a better play there.

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because Marcus's stick actually came down low, on the Columbus player's stick, then rode up. But you have a point.

Take the body, lift the stick, or at least make sure your stick doesn't ride up a player's who is picking up steam. He should know the game.

Don't wave your stick around like an idiot so the refs feel inclined to penalize you. It's not difficult. Marcus needed to make a better play there. You skate past the ref, he's at you're back, the stick hits you're upper body. Split second decision you snap your head back. That's a good play if you're looking to win. Not a hockey play but, it works. I say meh. A team needs to outplay bad calls. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
