Makar gets 1 game. Still a good trade for the Avs since McCann is probably done for the series. Rational play is to run at the opposing team's leading scorer when they relax long after the play is over. And go ahead and do it with a star player rather than a scrub, since they will go lighter on the suspension that way.

Edit: beaten

Why is this being described as interference and not boarding

I felt the Makar hit and the Rielly on Point hit were textbook boarding and dangerous as hell. I don't know why people are so blasé about it all. Especially the Rielly hit which was shoving a defenceless player into the boards from the goal line which has hand waved away as "not from behind so fine" even though boarding does not require checking from behind which is a different penalty entirely.

What a horrible thread to have a post.

ThinkTank posted:

Makar is the best defenceman on earth gone for one game but McCann is the Kraken's best forward and goalscorer who's likely gone for the playoffs. I'd take losing the healthy guy for one game over having arguably your best player injured long term.

Just some interesting info, not meant to start anything:



Also I was at that game and it was an awful hit and horrible to see McCann slowly assisted off the ice. Even if it had been the worst player on the Kraken it was heartbreaking.

The series is gonna be at least 2 more games, it's unlikely McCann is back by game 6, let alone the rest of the series.

Winnipeg has to be the new most cursed playoff team (besides the Leafs). If I am recalling ti correctly they've generally lost their top line forwards and D in each of the past 3-4 seasons in Round 1? Feels like it at least.

If it isn't obvious from my posting I can get pretty heated but seriously--how the gently caress can anyone, at any degree of sports insanity, take it out on a kid???? I have talked poo poo during a game, only to see a kid a few seats down from me and I'd spend the rest of the night completely silent. If you've lost a sense of shame you gotta dial that poo poo back down, good lord.

At least someone thought to make it right.

Adults who are still emotionally invested in sports are losers. Obviously it's fine to enjoy the games and the spectacle and all that, because sports are cool, but unfortunately a lot of adult fans are immature babies who can't handle their emotions.

It's fine to emotionally enjoy sports. I dunno how one could just sit and watch a game robotically.

But there's a difference between oh drat I'm a little bummed my team lost and oh I need to go smash my tv or spit on an opposing fan or whatever

Yeah I should also clarify in my previous post that "talking poo poo" is shouting down to the rink. I would never start poo poo with another person in the stands. 1)I'd lose by default if I did, I'm sure of it. 2)I don't wanna gently caress up my friend's season ticket deal, and 3)other fans wanna yell sometimes too and that's okay even if I also feel like it should be illegal.

I grew up in a household where grandpappy yelled at the tv, if it isn't obvious.

way back in 2009 when the wings were still good, i was walking out of joe louis arena with some friends, one of whom was a massive michigan fan despite not having gone to the school. He started jawing with some ohio state fan nearby(they were both wearing school colors to a wings game??) and it turned into a full on brawl.
i didn't get home until 2 hours later than i thought because i had to give statements to the police.

I will say that drunken fist fights between losers in the stands do liven up otherwise forgettable weekend games. It's not a Saturday night versus the Oilers unless at least one guy gets dragged backwards down the stairs by security while someone pours a beer on em.

Yeah.

In contrast, a Japanese woman caught a home run ball at the World Baseball Classic. She passed it around to other fans to see and they gave it back to her. That'd never happen at an MLB park.

When I was seven or eight I was at a Vancouver Grizzlies game and they had this blimp thing that flew around and dropped tickets. It was a pretty empty game so there weren't many people in our section. The blimp dropped tickets directly over me and my friend and we were excited and waiting for them to fall to us. Some forty year old dude from like ten rows back booked it down the stairs and snatched them out of the air above us. He got booed by everyone around him but he kept the tickets.

IMO if McCann had the puck it would have been a legal check, therefore the aspect where he was not eligible to be hit is the key violation.

Because it's not a board. Not a hit from behind in the numbers facing the....boards.

Winnipeg made the conference finals 5 years ago and swept the 105-points-in-a-shortened-season Connor McDavid Oilers 2 years ago.

They're 3-5 in playoff series in their current incarnation.

:eng101: there isn't actually a requirement that a hit be from behind in order to be boarding! The rulebook only requires that the hit be on a "defenseless" player and send them "violently or dangerously" into the boards. NHL refs just never call it that way because they're lazy cowards, and the league prefers the violence anyway.

There is actually a separate rule against hits from behind which applies everywhere on the ice that you might be thinking of, but it never gets called because it's an automatic major penalty.
