Egregious late hit against old man Pavelski and Dumba only gets 2 minutes out of it.
Video, for the curious:

Refs went from no call to major to roughing on review, and it's not clear to me if the roughing was the hit or dropping the gloves when he's jumped by Domi. Domi dodges a lone fighting major, I suspect because they'd have to run Kirill as third man in if they called it.

Given it wasn't initially called and was downgraded upon review, I'm going to be surprised if Dumba has a DoPS chat over it tomorrow but :shrug: tough to ever tell what Parros'll do.

Hope Pavelski's just shaken up :ohdear:

Possession of the Puck:

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.


the rulebook gives a wide allowance for hits. no one else besides Pavelski had touched the puck, so he's still technically in possession. that would probably be a major in the regular season but this is the playoffs. can't admire the pass

The other day someone was questioning if they would rather face Seattle or Minny in the first round. I was going to post that you would much rather play Seattle, because Minnesota is low key the dirtiest team in the NHL and you'd rather somebody else deal with that poo poo than have Dumba knock Pavelski out for the playoffs with a knee to knee hit.

I guess the lesson here is you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

On the one hand, I feel extremely bad for Pavelski and don't want any cool dudes to get hurt.

On the other hand, the recent futility of Minnesota sports would make Tantalus content with his lot and if all four Minnesota teams get into the playoffs this year and get bounced immediately then I'm going to go feral. Even the fuckin' Gophers couldn't win a thing.

In conclusion, Go Wild.

Of significance here is that the NHL rulebook draws a distinction between "possession" and "control of the puck." Possession as commonly used to by fans is really "control of the puck" in the rulebook.

Possession: The last player to physically touch the puck with his stick or body shall be considered in possession of the puck. (NOTE 1) A player can have possession of the puck without control, but he cannot have control of the puck without
possession..

Control of the puck: The act of propelling the puck with the stick, hand or feet. Control of the puck is not lost when contact with the puck is made by an opponent, the boards or the net, provided the player in control of the puck continues propelling the puck.

A few Wild/Stars notes:

Russo appears to confirm that Dumba, even upon review, was not assessed with a penalty for the hit on Pavelski but instead for the aftermath with Domi:

quote:

After not calling Dumba with an initial penalty, the four officials conferenced and assessed Dumba with a major penalty likely because it would be subject to review. After watching the replay, the officials rescinded the major and assessed only a minor for his fracas with Domi, who was also given a 10-minute misconduct.

Per Yousuf, Domi didn't even see the hit before he pulled Dumba out from the refs and went to town (this is somewhat of a habit for Domi this season)

quote:

Max Domi, who admitted he didn’t see the hit itself, pounced on Dumba as a reaction to seeing Pavelski laying on the ice in the manner in which he was.

“One of your best players goes down like that, that’s hockey,” Domi said of his decision to fight Dumba. “Hope (Joe) is OK … I saw Joe laying there and you never want to see a teammate, especially a guy like that, down there.”
The Kafkaesque ludicrousness of it all is that had Kaprizov not come in at the end to try and pull Domi off Dumba (once Domi had Dumba on the ice with his helmet off and was still pounding away), the Wild would likely have ended the sequence with 5 minute powerplay. Instead, since calling Domi for a fighting major would've meant running Kaprizov for being third man in, it was matching roughing penalties alongside a 10 minute misconduct for Domi for continuing after Dumba went down.

Dumba, for his part, is one of the many people who've apparently forgotten the distinction between (potentially) legal and clean:

quote:

“To be honest, I thought it was a clean hit,” Dumba said. “I figured they were going to see the same — shoulder on shoulder. I don’t even know why I got the roughing. It was probably just because I was in the box already.”

It's unclear whether DeBoer is trying to mollify his team or he actually believes it, but:

quote:

“We have the best officials in the world,” DeBoer said. “They called a five, they reviewed it, which is the right thing to do. If they reviewed it and they decided it wasn’t a bad hit, then I guess it’s not for me to argue with that. They got to look at it at multiple different angles and that’s the decision they made.”
Yousuf, for his part, notes that even if the hit was legal it was "late, it was vicious and it was completely unnecessary." Most compellingly to that point, he uploads this screenshot showing the puck well away from Pavelski's stick while Dumba is still in his squat preparing to deliver the hit:

I can't hotlink his next videoclip but it's the second that follows this image: Brodin, next to Gus on the left of the picture above, has completely shifted body and attention from Pavelski to the puck... prior to Dumba initiating contact.

The Wild dressing room, for its part, was focused on a few illegal shots with what appeared to be clear intent to injure by Suter:

quote:

Wild players were ripping the longtime former Wild defenseman to shreds in the celebratory postgame locker room.
These are among the brutal crosschecks delivered to Zucc and Kaprizov:
https://twitter.com/JeffVeillette/status/1648183350287388675
I'm a fan of the stripes on the first one clearly watching and determining that it was neither interference nor a crosscheck... just apparently a bad time for Kirill to blow a tire?

Given Pionk's blatant attempt to injure Johansson with less than a minute left earlier this week that seemed to have the playoffs in mind, the Wild are a bit touchy about naked crosschecks to their skill guys and I suspect the refs will have a misconduct or 3 to dish out in the game 2 as both sides look to settle scores.

It'll be interesting to see who has a chat with player safety out of this game. I could see anything from Dumba getting a game to Domi getting a fine (his Ekbald suspension for similar behavior was far enough in the past that he's got a clean slate).

All of that to say, I hope the NHL fixes this poo poo ASAP and that it's not as bad as it immediately looked for either Kaprizov or Pavelski.

Wild brass have been high on the kid for ages, it's one of the reasons they targeted the Kings for Fiala instead of seeking a better pick. He also fits what Evanson prizes from his nonstars: smart, simple, reliable play. Along with Brodin and Spurgeon, it looks like they expect him to provide years of solid D work alongside competent offensive contributions- the question longterm is whether they pair him with Brodin aiming for an undersized shutdown pairing or take advantage of allowing Evanson to roll three trustworthy pairs.

Just gotta call those cross checks. The one away from the play is obnoxious, but it's the playoffs and dirty play will happen if it's let go. The one in front of the net is something you do every single time if the refs have swallowed their whistles. I imagine they'll tighten up game 2.

Precambrian Video Games
Aug 19, 2002



I can hardly remember an example of refs calling a hit late because it came less than a second after the hit player moved the puck. Maybe in that phase when they cared about blatant interference of forecheckers going after dump-ins. But anyway there was definitely a high stick!

glynnenstein
Feb 18, 2014


If that hit is late, it's barely late. I time it by hand at just about on half-a-second, which is the rule of thumb they use for late, so I can see them deciding not to call it on that. Bigger problem is Pavelski was completely unprepared to take contact, which once upon a time definitely made it your fault if you got banged up. More recently there's supposed to be some responsibility on the hitter to temper contact on defenseless players, but I imagine that's one of the dials that gets turned down in the playoffs.
