RminusQ: thoughtpol: yeah, as i read the article about the Torres suspension, i wondered: if the refs can review video of potential goals, and if video evidence is what Shanny bases his suspensions on, why can't the refs review the video of the hit (say, due to a coach's appeal or something) and when they see him hit way late and leave his feet, throw him out of the game? i get why replay for penalties is bad - if you want, put in a clause that no matter the result, penalty minutes won't be handed out - but for a hit like this i think it would be in the interest of EVERYONE's safety to eject him immediately.

I was thinking that too in terms of a between-period review, and then the ref (or Toronto for that matter) comes back at the start fo the next period and says "Game misconduct, you're gone."

Sounds like what you want is a Super Rugby-style white card. Link

ununcle		2012-04-21 03:57:58 PM

That was an awsome last minute of the period.

RsquaredW		2012-04-21 03:58:01 PM

So...getting Sasha in a headlock ain't a penalty anymore? Or "riding horsie" on Chimera...again...

tom servo bit me		2012-04-21 03:58:02 PM

Was that arena staffer fighting off fans with that plexiglas jawn?

Frozen_Puck		2012-04-21 03:58:14 PM

Good first period, chances going both ways, some good saves, and Washington worked hard on that penalty kill. God I farking love playoffs!!

muck4doo		2012-04-21 03:59:17 PM

As a Sharks fan I feel like I'm on death row counting down my final hours.

Polish Hussar		2012-04-21 03:59:20 PM

intermission - "Frontier Slappy." Daniel Boone was a great big guy. Yes, a really big guy . . .

Silvara: We've made the pucks today out of super ball rubber, let's see if anyone notices.

We tried playing for a practice with one of the thin-rubber, ball-roller, orange street-hockey pucks. Would not slide and bounced while handling, changed direction wildly off of the boards, and frankly hurt more than a regular puck. Liquid-filled street-hockey balls, however, are awesome.

Frozen_Puck: Good first period, chances going both ways, some good saves, and Washington worked hard on that penalty kill. God I farking love playoffs!!

That was pretty much a perfect period of hockey, even a bit of testiness without thuggery.

Hope Chara is ok.

Yeah, you kinda are.

merkey88		2012-04-21 04:01:10 PM

Frozen_Puck: Silvara: Laugh...were they in a pretzel or something?

LOL, sure looked like it. And it hurt Chara?

I don't understand what happened there. And of course NBC doesn't show us.

Frozen_Puck		2012-04-21 04:01:26 PM

Silvara: We've made the pucks today out of super ball rubber, let's see if anyone notices.

You would rather they play with the Bridgestone puck?

Rewound it, Chara dove like an Italian soccer player.

Silvara		2012-04-21 04:01:34 PM

Frozen_Puck: LOL, sure looked like it. And it hurt Chara?

Yeah, no idea. Maybe he just got dizzy from the air difference from the elevation of where his head usually is and down at the ice.

Vangor		2012-04-21 04:01:58 PM

Uh...hey!?

Snert. Well, it would be entertaining.

FastJeff		2012-04-21 04:02:54 PM

Hat Blasting.

Guess that can count as intermission entertainment.

CBC showed another angle where Chimera gave him a bit of an elbow to the back of the head getting up.

CBC seems to agree, they think he dove. They showed something interesting that happened in the pre-game warmup where that Cap fell down and almost ran into Chara, he looked angry.

fatalvenom		2012-04-21 04:05:12 PM

Ugh...another scoreless period.

SCORE A FARKING GOAL B's!!!!

Lovely.

tonguedepressor		2012-04-21 04:07:57 PM

Man, there is no denying that Dale Hunter completely resembles the dick head he was when he was a player.

jaylectricity		2012-04-21 04:08:31 PM

Chara had a huge hit on Chimera and pretty much held him down. Chimera eventually got frustrated and elbowed Chara's head into the boards. It didn't look like a very violent elbow and Chara seemed to go down easily. The two things that worry me is it looked like Chara's leg was twitching while he was down and when he got up he just sort of stood there while time ran out.

9beers		2012-04-21 04:09:01 PM

Why isn't Don Cherry around more? You would think that CBC would pull him out of storage for more than one segment when the goddamn playoffs are going on.

idesofmarch		2012-04-21 04:10:14 PM

Geez, I had no idea the hockey was on at 3 today (since I planned to be out until now) - sounds like an OK first period. Go... Bruins? God this is hard.

Caeldan		2012-04-21 04:10:21 PM

Cause he is 78 years old and can't handle more than a game a day haha.

Smiths		2012-04-21 04:10:38 PM

Whoo hockey!
Buy I have a wiped laptop so not farking much during this.

Go caps or something!

jaylectricity		2012-04-21 04:10:42 PM

merkey88: And of course NBC doesn't show us.

I think I'm gonna go back to school to be a sports tv director. I get irritated with some of these simple mistakes they make in choosing which camera to show and why.

Frozen_Puck		2012-04-21 04:10:44 PM

tonguedepressor: Man, there is no denying that Dale Hunter completely resembles the dick head he was when he was a player.

I wasn't watching hockey back in 1993, so I didn't even know about his incident until this week. I almost feel dirty rooting for the Caps now, but as a Habs fan I certainly can't root for the B's.

/May have to root against the Caps if they pull off this upset though cause Dale Hunter is definitely a dick!

I hadn't noticed the leg twitching but he definitely looked disoriented when he got up and I noticed he didn't really get back into the play either.

Damn, this dumb American didn't realize he's that old.

back at the future in-laws aver checking out wedding venues...no cable, so streaming the B's game....hopefully they score a few before I'm subjected to missing more hockey

Go Rangers

I always wonder if they keep rotting food up there or something.

I agree. Had to reschedule engagement photos last year due to hockey beard awesomeness.

FastJeff		2012-04-21 04:22:30 PM

So they hug it out? lol

Silvara		2012-04-21 04:22:32 PM

Awww...they just wanted to hug.

4NSpy		2012-04-21 04:22:52 PM

A little "oops, I've fallen, guess I'll just lay here a while on top of you."

Save yourself; I'll hold this one off 'til you get clear ;-)

Nah, she understands my obsession and is napping before dinner while I watch online, and the in-laws have been made fully aware that I'll be listening to game radio at the very least if we're out past 7
