They can blow it dead whenever they want. It's completely subjective. If they think a guy is in real danger they're supposed to blow it right away. But then, like I said, they let Campbell lie on the ice with a broken leg and struggle to get up while the Penguins shot rockets at him in the playoffs so it annoys me when a Bruin PP gets shut down under similar circumstances.burstnbloom said:Don't they blow the whistle if the player is in danger? The puck went right back to Chara and he was ready to let it fly again. I don't mind it either way bc that guy could have died.
Hey nice! Kelly AND Campbell on the PP.
I think they called the two hand shiver after the hit.teddykgb said:The first penalty was OK, there was a lot of extra on that hit and that isn't OK anymore. But that 2nd one I really don't understand. It was a regular hit to me
It wasn't stupid at all. He didn't do anything wrong.twibnotes said:Very weak...but also stupid by Marchand. Tired of his shit. His talents aren't enough to offset his stupidity
You were saying?The Four Peters said:That is absolutely inexcusable and ruins a great period.

Fuck off. Played hocked my whole life - not sure what game you're watchingMyt1 said:You're a fucking idiot.
That was not a cross check. That was a two handed half shove that happens literally 100 times a game. It was a horrible call.twibnotes said:You need to get your eyes checked.
He cross checked him after the hit. It was the kind of play that is seldom caused but it WAS stupid. Marchand is a chippy player - they watch him.
And by the refs. So clearly a diveThe Four Peters said:That's fucking disgraceful by Versteeg.
I'm not certain he didn't get him on the way through. Tough to tell, even in slow motion, and my frame by frame blocks that part of the screen.The Four Peters said:That's fucking disgraceful by Versteeg.

Congratulations. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. You're still a fucking idiot.twibnotes said:Fuck off. Played hocked my whole life - not sure what game you're watching

I said in my original post it wasn't worthy of a call. I just think Marchand pulls a lot of that stuff and he's under a microscope. I think he takes a lot of dumb penalties doing little shit like that, and his production isn't worth it. I know you need some scrappy guys who play with attitude, but I don't think Marchand is a savvy player.The Four Peters said:That was not a cross check.

Clever line - never heard that oneMyt1 said:Congratulations. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. You're still a fucking idiot.
I've looked at it about 10 times, I think he slightly caught him, and of course he fell and made the most of it.Myt1 said:I'm not certain he didn't get him on the way through. Tough to tell, even in slow motion, and my frame by frame blocks that part of the screen.

He was facing away from Tuukka at the time, if he didn't actually get hit, he wouldn't have known when to fall.
So it wasn't a penalty and was a bad call but was still stupid to take the penalty.twibnotes said:I said in my original post it wasn't worthy of a call.

Bs were up 2-0 and he takes that penalty, which served no purpose whatsoever. Finish the check and rejoin the play.
Yeah, I can't really fault a guy too much there. Lot of nerves around that part of the body, and Tuukka wound up an two handed the post like he was at T-ball.SoxFanInCali said:I've looked at it about 10 times, I think he slightly caught him, and of course he fell and made the most of it.

I find that incredibly difficult to believe, Happy.twibnotes said:Clever line - never heard that one
Do you disagree that Marchand at times does little chippy shit that gets called? Just saying this is one of those times.The Four Peters said:So it wasn't a penalty and was a bad call but was still stupid to take the penalty.
Brain checking commence.
