Random Hockey Observations

"sometimes we officiate the amount of contact+how hard someone falls versus the legality/illegality of an action"

Just heard this during an NBA game, felt like it was exactly how I felt on Perry hit.

I’m absolutly watching the game through homer glasses but the refs aren’t calling enough penalties, especially slashing which they stated would be called the same as the regular season, on the Preds.

 

The uncalled tripping at the 2:05ish mark in the video directly lead to a goal. It’s bullshit........unless I’m wrong about this being a trip (I’m not). I hope the Avs get a bunch of makeup calls in games 3 and 4.

NHL is stupid about that. The rules get much more "relaxed" in the playoffs. It's an unwritten rule. It's so strange. Though it's not particularly consistent in the regular season from game to game, or from ref to ref.

 

As for that specific play... It's probably a penalty, but it doesn't get called very often.

 

It used to be that if you slid like that, but touched the puck before tripping the guy, you wouldn't get called, but they changed it a few years ago to explicitly say that contact with the puck doesn't matter. It's should be a trip regardless. It's still not frequently called, though.

I think they are less likely to call a penalty during 4 on 4 which is also totally BS.

 

Sliding into a players legs on purpose is super dangerous and should be called every single time,imo.

100%. And they're way less likely to call anything later in the games. And the score definitely impacts things too.

Is that the great play by Subban? :)

 

I only saw it twice and he didn't slide directly into the players legs IIRC. He slid to take away the low shot and disrupt a pass. That would rarely be called in the regular season let alone the playoffs.

 

I do hope the Avs can win a game at least. Their Twitter whines the most and it entertains me.

You gotta watch it again. Actually, the more I watch it, the more I think it should have been called. He was barely down by the time he took out the Avs player's legs. He almost threw his body into him. It wasn't like he was already sliding and the Av skated into him.

I'll watch it again when I have wifi. My phone is already barking at me about data used and I'm not even half way to May 9th.

So while it was a bit inconvient in the regular season, now not being able to see Knights games in the playoffs is really annoying.

 

Every single NHL playoff game is televised on NBC or one of their networks..The Knights games are only shown on their own network ATT Sportsnet..Its a small station that my cable package doesnt carry. I have every sports station that is available..

 

Now that it looks like they will the first round and possibly face the Sharks. What the hell is gonna happen next..

Ahl playoffs format.

 

5 game series in first round

 

First two games are at the lower seed. Next 3 games at the higher seed.

 

It’s interesting. At first I thought it was weird the favorite doesn’t start at home. But still and advantage I guess.

All NHL playoff games, including the VGK, have been televised on my cable package. NBC, NBCSC, USA, and CNBC are the channels airing NHL playoff games in the USA.

Ya. It’s dumb. I live in the Vegas Home market. Even though I’m nowhere close to Vegas and I have 3 NHL teams that are closer than re Knights.

I didn't realize you were considered to be in the Vegas home market. This is ridiculous.

sad to see Glen Gulutzan fired. He has a lot of ties to this area..He spent a lot of time here in Fresno and has a lot of friends here..

 

Hope Gully lands on his feet soon. From all the stuff I have heard from his friends here, great guy.
