No. Per the rules, they were penalties. That the refs didn't call them doesn't change that.

Maybe in how you interpreted the rules but the officials apparently interpreted them differently and their interpretation is what goes in the box score.

Rest in peace Jean Beliveau. He was one athlete who really deserved to be a role model.

I'm hoping Boston loses. I hate some of the scumbags on their team.

Yeah, as a Rangers fan, I enjoyed Boston not making it. My predictions: Ottawa @ Montreal: Ottawa in 7. Detroit @ Tampa: Tampa in 7. Pittsburgh @ NYR: NYR in 5.

Ummmm, no. The refs are not infallible. Kronwall was suspended yet not penalized.

Kind of veering off topic here but I'm watching the Erie vs. Sault Ste Marie game right now. McDavid is insane. Nurse is a really solid defenceman (fun fact: I played Nurse 4 years ago when he played in the GTHL). If the Oilers are close to last place again next year they should burn down the arena.

No one is but that's OT, IMO.

They kind of are. Edmontonians shelled out for a brand new arena in the downtown core to be opened after next season. This will be the end of the Oilers at Rexall place. I think Nurse will probably need a year playing in the AHL before he makes the big club. I'm just hoping that Chiarelli has a better plan for developing players than previous management did.

It's not OT. Eichel will be better than McDavid in the end. And I'm in Erie.

The fact you don't agree with my opinion is noted.

The fallibility of the NHL referees is OT in the NHL thread??? Color me perplexed.

I think Nurse is ready to play in the NHL. In fact, I think he may win rookie of the year next season. Wild prediction, but I think he's that good.

I didn't say NHL officials are not infallible was OT. I said no one being infallible is OT.

That is a pretty wild prediction. Nurse has to be the next Bobby Orr if he's going to win rookie of the year on a poor possession, poor defensive team. He's going to spend a lot of time in his own zone.

He played a handful of games at the beginning of the year, and didn't look any worse than the 'NHL calibre' defense corps the Oilers dressed. Of course, when you play with superstars such as Keith Aulie and Andrew Brad Ference, that's not saying much.

Well shoot. Maybe I'm the only one that sees that differently. 2-minute charging penalty. That's it.

He went out of his way to hit the player and lifted his front skate as he went into the hit. That's good enough for a minor in my book, but no suspension.

It seems like anytime someone gets hit hard anymore, half of everyone screams for a ban. Sure the concussion issues are having an effect. Maybe we just don't have the appetite for violence that we used to. Maybe hockey is just too violent a sport for some people.

Playoff hockey is officiated completely different than regular season hockey with the intent to minimize the impact the referees have on the outcome of a game but I think the lack of calls impacts the game more.  The Islanders lost Lubomir Visnovsky in game 4 for the rest of the series due to a questionable hit by the Caps.  Visnovsky had a history of concussions and the Islanders defense was depleted prior to the game which makes the hit seem even more pre-meditated.  Statements made in the post game press conference by Caps players supported the cheap shot by stating that if Visnovsky is out for the rest of the series it was a "good penalty to take".

Considering the politics of sports in situations like this, I'd venture a guess that the fact that they missed the penalty call on the ice is why the suspension was levied.  I'd bet (I'm not a gambler - so a tiny amount of money) that if they gave him the correct penalty immediately, then there would have been no suspension, and likely even no review.

The suspension is just as much a referendum on the refereeing as it is punishment for the player.

I'd bet that you guessed right. They've actually cited whether or not a penalty was called during the game, as well as whether or not someone was injured by the plays in question as reasons for or against suspension.

Wow. Tampa should not have won that game. They were outshot, out-chanced, and outplayed. Unfortunate for Detroit.

Detroit failing to score when they were dominating in the second period really hurt them. I'd imagine TB felt really good after two periods to not be losing. I'll be rooting for TB next round.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
