Derek Ryan spears Nils Hoglander in the nuts, how is this not a 5 minute major penalty for attempt to injure?

[GOilers88]

Discussions about penalties and refs for this specific series should just be automatically deleted. Nothing good will come of them.

If I had a knife and put in under your ass, and then quickly lifted the knife up with force in your ass, would you call it a stab or slash?

Case and point.

Don’t like that at all. Feels like it specifically should be suspendable. Doubt me if you want but if Hogs was the spearer, I’d feel the same. At least worthy of a call from the league. Absolutely no ambiguity on that one.

Ya, tired of nutshots, just not a good look for the league. It’s fine with the same cavemen who have always been cool with dirty bullshit, but it’s just kinda amateur.

Also, if a player gets groined I don’t blame ‘em for anything they do the opponent from that point on. Good on NHLers for not retaliating, because once the stick is used as a weapon I wouldn’t blame a guy for going Clarke on Kharlamov.

If anybody who has never watched hockey before needs more examples:



You don't even have to watch more than the first one too so your ADHD doesn't have to spiral out of control.

Derek Ryan was cross checked in the ribs by Hoglander. Only reason he gave him that tap of a slash. He’s not a player that’s just going to get revenge for no reason.

Ryan was pushed in the arm, he was not cross checked in the ribs…

They both got penalized anyways. And they should have. So Nucks fans are crying about a penalty that DID happen.

See the problem is one could have been 5 and a game.

They also weren’t going to call Hoglander until after Ryan was a little bitch. So basically Ryan got a free cup check.

For that little love tap? Nope. Not how this League works.

Saying someone was a "little bitch" only tells everyone else reading your post that you shouldn't be taken seriously. Most people learn that it's stupid to do in middle school.

When has spears in the nuts become a non issue?

The play before is irrelevant when it comes to the penalty for Ryan. Its a 5 on Ryan and a 2 on Hoglander.

Any other call is a mockery of the game and the actual rules the refs are supposed to rule by!

Why a non issue? I can cut out a clip of a Nuck charging Nurse with a solid 2 hand crosscheck right after Nurse boarded Petterson. That should have been xcheck + attempt to injure penalties.. the 'non issue' that lead to this nut shot was called for a penalty so it was obviously a factor

I love it. Welcome to the show.

Most people learn in elementary school not to hit another male in the groin … yet here we’re.

Yes, and it should be penalized and fined. Be better.

It was called a penalty after the fact, it was only called so they could take both players.

It's always a little strange to me how tolerant the league and players are to jabbing another guy in the nards.

 

[My3Sons]

Since it's the 54th anniversary of Derek Sanderson's pass to set up Number 4's iconic goal.

The Turk!---beautiful temperament of that guy. Told a guy to meet him in the parking lot one time.

It's hockey baby!!

Given how some of these moments play out I’m surprised it never carries over to genuine off ice violence.

 

[McShogun99]

It was such a poorly reffed game for both sides.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

I'm sure jumping into hits is perfectly legal in the eyes of the op poster though

Like when Milbury and OReilly pranced 10 rows up at Madison Square Garden.

 

[PULSATING]

I’m so glad Canucks are relevant again, I missed there being 3 whining threads on the mains after they lose.

I was thinking more player on player. Some of the cheap shots are awful and it just never goes anywhere.

Tripping McDavid into the boards after he scores which could have ended his season isn't a big deal either to the OP. Just keep wearing those rosed coloured glasses.

 

[BlueOil]

it should've been two minutes for highsticking. hit him right in the head!

 

[thebigbea]

Hope Sutherland don’t ref another game. He got something against Vancouver if I remember. Nurse boarding on Pettersson, McDavid high stick Hughes, Kane slewfoot Hughes, Hyman cheap shot on Hughes when puck no where near. Bouchard hit Pettersson when puck was no where near. These were just a few
