I think Kadri definitely should have gotten a goalie interference penalty there, but on the flipside, Nichushkin definitely shouldn't have gotten one last game. In summation, suck it St. Louis.

The Kadri play was dirty enough based on his history that he deserves a suspension. Binnington is a whiny baby player, but goalies need to be protected; you can’t drive hard to the net and shove a defender in and risk injuring a guy. Kadri was interviewed during the first intermission and he said he was pushed into the goalie which was just an outright lie. It was a garbage play.

Thank loving God he's not playing now. they would have to start letting so much more stuff go than just interference. 3) I'm very impressed with what I saw out of Colorado--and especially Kadri--tonight. We knew they were skilled, but to absorb a hit like that, looked shellshocked, get scored on, but then come back and cripple a goalie and start winning the physical battle? Outstanding. That Girard hit could have snowballed, but it goes to show Kadri's maturity as a player that he can somehow manage to maim a guy while staying free of the suspension (and not even getting a penalty!). losing Girard hurts, but if they can keep this toughness up in addition to the skill, I think they remain the clear favorites.

He was literally trying to go to the right of Binnington, towards the loose puck and ran into Rosen and then got pushed right into Binnington.... do you think players shouldn't try for loose pucks if there is a defender closer to that puck? It's not like Binnington had covered the puck, which would have been a completely different situation. You literally can and SHOULD drive hard to the net if the puck is loose in the crease Also the internet tells me that Binnington is racist against Muslims, so it's karma that he got injured by a Muslim DrunkPanda fucked around with this message at 08:57 on May 22, 2022 |

Kinda feels like salivating over someone putting themselves in a dangerous position because that apparently gives you a green light to try and put them on a stretcher for not protecting themselves and that magically absolves the hitter from all responsibility is pretty lovely but on the other hand I doubt the players are calculating it like that in the moment so whatever. Barbashev was coming in hot for that hit, though probably not a full on charge. lovely result for Girard

Barbashev was coming in hot for that hit, though probably not a full on charge. lovely result for Girard Yeah, I mean the NFL figured out years ago that top players constantly getting injured on reckless hits was not good for the sport and started implementing and enforcing rules to prevent this kind of thing. Amazing that the NHL hasn't figured it out and probably is baffled why hockey continues to drop in popularity. That and the fact that refs pretty much arbitrarily decide who wins or loses in the playoffs depending on whether they feel like enforcing the rules or not is also pretty . More often than not, the bigger "more physical" teams will beat more talented teams in the playoffs because refs decide hooking, holding, tripping, etc are no longer penalties in the playoffs. Imagine if in the NFL once the playoffs started, the refs said "alright hits to the head on quarterbacks is completely fine now and there's no such thing as defensive pass interference". The way the NHL operates playoffs is just so stupid

It's fun to watch guys get blowed up, refs can't just arbitrarily decide they're going to enforce certain rules by the book in the playoffs, and it's good to injure your opponent's players, especially if you can avoid being penalized for it.

I really hope Bednar activates MacDermid next game because the Blues might try to injure an Avs player next game. And if they do, by hockey logic, we need MacDermid to injure Ryan O'Reilly in retaliation

In what way was Kadri pushed into Binnington? He's shoving on Rosen's lower back before they collide into him. Also you're supposed to try to avoid ramming into the goalie, so lol that they didn't even call it a penalty.

bewbies posted:wait are there actually people who think the Girard hit was illegal or cheap? Yeah. It's an easy boarding call. I don't think it would need supplemental, but it would have been an easy call to make. The responsibility for safety is with the forechecker, and he's put Girard's face into the wall first.

gently caress Binnington. His name even sounds like a town where they don’t take kindly to your type ‘round here. Let he who is without sin cast the first water bottle. And boarding is officially a violent check into the boards from any direction, but if you want to find boarding ever called for a hit that wasn’t to the numbers good luck.

Yeah it’s obviously a penalty and also obviously not a suspension, it’s not any worse than the play that hurt Campbell in game 7 and nobody was calling for blood there. Kadri’s suspensions have all been for hitting guys in the head when the puck’s gone, he didn’t become early-career Kreider all of a sudden.

Speaking of suspensions, does anyone think the NHL will go back and give Hagel a suspension for this? It was initially called a 5 minute major, then was reduced to 2 by Toronto. https://twitter.com/JamesonCoop/status/1528438828020670472

That seems like it should be a boarding major because the cross-check itself is not even a minor by post-crackdown standards, butAphrodite posted:And boarding is officially a violent check into the boards from any direction, but if you want to find boarding ever called for a hit that wasn’t to the numbers good luck.

Genuine question which probably comes off salty cause I'm an Avs fan but how do you contest the puck like Naz did and avoid contact? I don't think he can change directions and make a play. Binnington's step that Kadri sees before he makes his momentum changing move is moving right and Kadri has the opportunity for a rebound so this seems like it would be a total non-issue if it wasn't Kadri.

Aphrodite posted:And boarding is officially a violent check into the boards from any direction, but if you want to find boarding ever called for a hit that wasn’t to the numbers good luck. Nope. two things: 1) the NHL rulebook is notoriously written shittily to the point of comedy, so referencing it to describe how the game is actually played and/or called is pretty much always a losing endeavor. the best example of this is the rule of possession, which is hilariously written as: the literal rulebook posted:The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession. which I'm sure if someone goes into the SAS archives I had to make this exact point like fifteen years ago when Janssen demolished Kaberle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10-3L4OjPPY which according to the rulebook should be a legal hit! because possession isn't lost until someone else gets it, and Janssen hit him immediately after he lost it. 2) but even if you want to go to the rulebook, you got it wrong: quote:41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently or dangerously. The severity of the penalty, based upon the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee. anybody who's been taught to receive a check is taught: 1) don't duck, ever. train yourself out of the reflex to get small. 2) get close to the boards and use them as opposed to being where you can get slammed into them from a foot or two away 3) get tall so you don't absorb the principle point of contact to your noggin 4) disperse the impact across your whole body so that it's not all going to your now-broken sternum 5) protect yourself at all times instead of trying to make a 10% "better" play and every defensemen, especially at the NHL level, knows: 6) know where the first forechecker is coming from before you even get to the puck Girard literally did none of that. while the onus is on the forechecker to not hit a guy in a vulnerable situation, the hit that Barbashev did happens 50x a game and he can't have expected Girard to have the same level of hit avoidance as a Squirt. this is the NHL, not a recreational house league. "putting yourself in a vulnerable position" also means doing none of the stuff that you expect a professional hockey player to be able to do. which is why Bednar/Avs aren't + shouldn't be upset about it. it's an unfortunate play, but (john forslund voice) THAT'S HOCKEY BABY
