Leafs @ Penguins - Nov. 27th, 7:30pm - TSN, SN 590

[ZBBM]

Great sequence by Phaneuf.  Now that's leadership Dion!  I can't stand Sid.

 

[Arn]

Crosby looks like a bit of a creep with that 'tache by the way.

I wouldn't leave my (as yet non existent) kids with him.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

It's a goal. Bernier touched it before it went in. Negates the high stick.

No it doesn't.

When an attacking player causes the puck to enter the opponent?s goal by contacting the puck above the height of the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the goal shall not be allowed.

Didn't know that.

Yeah I didn't either until I looked it up, but thought maybe it would be different for when a goal is scored.

 

[bustaheims]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I mean, it was clear Malkin hit it with the high stick. That should have taken 5 seconds.

Still - it takes 30 seconds to check the rulebook, see that it doesn't matter and make the right call. Unless there was a bunch of other things needing reviewing at the same time . . .

 

[Kin]

Phew. So Carlyle's still the greatest coach ever right?

I'll let you know once the shot totals are final.

 

[CaptainObvious]

Good to see Dion with a spur under his saddle.

 

[Arn]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I mean, it was clear Malkin hit it with the high stick. That should have taken 5 seconds.

Still - it takes 30 seconds to check the rulebook, see that it doesn't matter and make the right call. Unless there was a bunch of other things needing reviewing at the same time . . .

I think they initially were looking for a glove pass then saw the high stick during the look for that?

30 seconds for Potvin, maybe. We're talking about NHL officials here.

Plus the "How to screw the Leafs" section is fairly lengthy, so takes awhile to cross-reference against that.

Can't review for a glove pass.

 

[Kin]

come on ref, throw them both out of the game

Honestly, I don't know who wins that exchange. Which, admittedly, is either saying a lot about Phaneuf or significantly less about the rest of the blueline.

 

[bustaheims]

Right. I keep forgetting there's no public access to that section.

 

[TML fan]

Leafs are in full on Team Switzerland mode.

Shanny keeps it in his toilet tank in a ziplock bag.

 

[Kin]

Leafs are in full on Team Switzerland mode.

Precision craftsmanship?

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Leafs are in full on Team Switzerland mode.

Precision craftsmanship?

more like holey cheese?.

 

[ZBBM]

Argh, another penalty.

 

[Arn]

I predict this game will not end 4-2

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Now there's a terrible interference call.

 

[bustaheims]

Precision craftsmanship?

Peaks and valleys. Duh.
