For instance, if a minor is called, it can be upgraded to a major on review. If no penalty is called spontaneously, only a minor can be assessed? It seems a lot of the angst last night is that we went from a no-call situation where play was allowed to continue over and around the clearly injured player, to a 5 minute major and a DQ, ostensibly ONLY after the extent of the injury was clearer. Yet, the explanation felt lacking. Separately...assuming the officials last night were persuaded by one or both linesmen (which I understand to be permissible), does it make sense to empower linesmen to make certain calls? This might eliminate those situations where enhanced penalties seem to come out of nowhere. They said he was crosschecked in the face, but that wasn't true at all. Quote

I guess some guys in the Toronto offices either (a) have SJS in the office pool, or (b) want to see Thornton finally lift a Cup. You could say Stastny was interfered with while trying to get to the point. At most one penalty. Quote

sioux rube Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 2 goals in 13 seconds and the Jackets take the lead 2-1 Quote
cberkas Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 The NHL apologizes to Vegas and O'Halloran and Furlatt, the two refs from the game, will not ref the rest of the playoffs unless there is a injury. Quote

I think Donato has a big upside because his skill set and speed is where the NHL is heading. Coyle has been on a hot streak lately, but before that Donato was an impact player while Coyle didn’t do well. Time will tell. Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Kind of kinda sorta fun watching some of these games not lots of scoring but I can see it would be fun being at theses games Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I almost guessed Carolina would be ahead 1 game to 0 in the 2nd round of the playoffs! Quote
