I'm sorry but you cant be taken seriously if you call that a natural accident based on any actual physics. the puck blatantly went in a completely unnatural reaction. to say otherwise is simply ignorance. are you people in your 30s/40s/50s? and you still think multi billion dollar sports is some untouched, pure, childish entity? its time to stop watching sports like the13 year old you once were. Sports is staged entertainment and they choose who wins and when. you got us ....You are right .... I finally found your video evidence that confirms your conspiracy theories ........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 In other news Pavelski still out, not even travelling with the Sharks to Colorado. Must be faking it to help the league justify screwing Vegas with a non penalty, just like the USA faked the moon landing...…... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lands differently, chances are there's no penalty on the play at all. So you're saying there was violence associated with the hit? We agree! Seriously, Eakins cross-checks Pavelski up high and knocks him off balance. Stastny then pushes him to the ice. At least one of those things is a penalty.

But I'm wondering if the referee saw the actual infraction or simply called a penalty after seeing the player laying on the ice. Since they had to have a "meeting", I'm guessing nobody was watching the initial hit. The rule of thumb is that you can't call a penalty if you didn't see exactly what happened. This is like the Wayne Gretzky high stick on Doug Gilmour from 1993. The play stopped. Gilmour was laying on the ice bleeding. Nobody saw what happened (or at least not definitively). No call was made. I agree that it's a 2-minute penalty for cross-checking, but since the ref missed it, it shouldn't have been a penalty at all. It should have been a missed call.

The other thing that bugs me about all of this - I'm sure this has been brought up by others - is that for the Pavelski/Eakin play, they huddled with the linesmen to see who saw what, saw the blood coming from Pavelki's head, and that was the decision. Then, the other day in a game (can't remember which, will try to find), the ref went to the penalty box to make the call but it wasn't clear whether it was gonna be 2 or 4 min., so he puts the headset on and talks to the control room to inform his decision! What the holy hell is that?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the holy hell is that?! That's "the game" in 2019. Guys shouldn't be "getting away" with injuring other players because the ref "didn't see it." It's not at all consistent - which is undoubtedly a problem. But it doesn't make it "wrong." Heck, there's another sport that's now got a ref in the stands that can overturn or even call a penalty after watching it on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at the point now where you might as well delete the referees and just have people in the control room calling penalties. They can watch the game on video and catch everything. During a play stoppage, they can call out penalties that occurred on the previous play so nothing will ever get missed again and every call will be right. Although, it will make the game very different than it has been up until now. My stance on video review has always been "no" and my opinion hasn't changed. I think it ruins the flow of the game and I think it exists only to exploit advertising space and extend the length of games. It's a cash grab, plain and simple. I'm fine with the refs getting it right 95% of the time and missing calls. The occasional blown calls make for interesting discussion.

Yeah, but they don't, for example, penalize Crosby for smashing a guy in the nuts from behind with his stick... The sad thing is humans aren't perfect and the humans calling the games will make mistakes. This is true whether it's on the ice, in the stands, or in the "war room" in Tronno.

All it took was ONE blown call against Vegas and this became a topic... which always happens a year or two after a league implements video review for the very first time and proudly proclaims that penalties will not be reviewable.

Good day sir. its a non critical thinking, coincidence theorist answer. it just happened, man, thats all.... You simply refuse to want to know the truth. that night, the Sharks won their 113th playoff game on the 113th day of the year. that is not a coincidence. that is pure predetermined outcome. theres no way in hell thats luck. the apology is a mocking of you the fan because they know your unable to grasp the biggest hints. no one scores 4 goals in three minutes unless the other team straight just lays down. its season 101 and the Sharks are the only team to finish season with 101 points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
